Best Assault Rifles in Black Ops 6
Here are the best Assault Rifles that you should be using right now in Black Ops 6.
XM4
The XM4 is one of the first weapons that you’ll use in the game, mainly because i’ts unlocked by default and you won’t have to worry about reaching a certain level to obtain it.
The weapon offers decent accuracy, mobility, and power. In the early stages of the game, when paired with the right attachments, it can help you bag in a lot of kills. I personally found it to be a weapon that is easy to control.
However, since the weapon already has high firepower, your focus should be on improving its accuracy and damage range. This will transform it into a deadly weapon that won’t let you down in any situation.
Recommended XM4 attachments:
- Muzzle: Muzzle Brake
- Barrel: Long Barrel
- Underbarrel: Ranger Foregrip
- Mag: Extended Mag II
- Rear grip: Commando Grip
- Stock: Heavy Stock
AK-74
The AK-74 deals a decent amount of damage with each shot, but it’s the most challenging weapon to control on our list.
Compared to the other two weapons, it falls short in terms of accuracy. However, with attachments like the Ported Compensator, Ranger Foregrip, and Quickdraw Grip, you can improve its accuracy and handling.
Plus, it can be unlocked at just level 10, so you won’t have to grind too much to get it.
Recommended AK-74 attachments:
- Muzzle: Suppressor
- Fire Mod: Rapid Fire
- Underbarrel: Precision Foregrip
- Magazine: Fast Mag
- Rear Grip: Quickdraw Grip
AMES 85
The third and final AR that we would recommend is the AMES 85. This one offers better base stats compared to the XM4, and when paired with the right attachments, it can become a deadly weapon.
Even without attachments, the AMES 85 is still a great option for mid to long-range fights, as it offers solid accuracy and a decent fire rate.
However, we recommend using attachments to improve its handling and accuracy, as it can be challenging to control at times. And to unlock it, you’ll need to reach level 19.
Recommended AMES 85 attachments:
- Muzzle: Compensator or Suppressor
- Fire Mod: Rapid Fire or Recoil Springs
- Underbarrel: Vertical Foregrip
- Magazine: Fast Mag
- Stock: Light Stock
