AMES 85 loadout guide
There’s no doubt that the AMES 85 is the best assault rifle to use in Black Ops 6, especially when you have the right attachments and overall loadout built around the weapon. This is where we come in.
While the weapon’s firepower is the same as the XM4 and the AK-74, it is the best in its class when it comes to mobility and accuracy.

Best AMES 85 attachments
Our best AMES 85 loadout focuses on improving the weapon’s recoil while increasing its damage range and overall handling.
- Muzzle: Compensator or Suppressor
- Underbarrel: Vertical Foregrip
- Barrel: Long Barrel
- Fire Mods: Rapid Fire or Recoil Springs
- Stock: Light Stock
- Optic (Optional): Merlin Reflex, Prismatech 4x or Acu-Spot Reflex
- Tactical: Prox Alarm
- Lethal: Semtex
- Field Upgrade: Assault Pack
- Perks: Assassin, Gung-Ho, Double Time
- Wild Card: Perk Greed
- Wild Card Perk: Flak Jacket
When it comes to Muzzle selection, the Compensator is best for players looking for recoil control, and the Suppressor is good for preventing you from appearing on the mini-map.
For the Underbarrel, the good old Vertical Foregrip is the best-in-slot attachment as it greatly improves the horizontal recoil control, with the Long Barrel helping to increase the damage tremendously.
In the Ames 85 Fire Mods, you can go for Rapid Fire to increase the weapon’s fire rate and improve the TTK (Time to Kill). We recommend using it, but the Recoil Springs is the best option for players who want more recoil control.
Coming down to Stock attachment, while you can replace this with a suitable Optics attachment like Merlin Reflex, Prismatech 4x or Acu-Spot Reflex, for making the weapon more versatile, you can use the Light Stock as it dramatically increases the hip fire movement speed, and strafing movement speed.
That sums up our best AMES 85 loadout in Black Ops 6.
