Equip these best ranked loadouts to dominate in Black Ops 6 Season 1 Ranked Play

AMES 85

The AMES 85 is a remarkably versatile assault rifle that excel in medium to long range engagements, making it a top-tier choice for Ranked Play.

To unlock its full potential, select the Ported Compensator in the muzzle slot and Vertical Foregrip in the underbarrel slot to significantly improve overall recoil control.

Choose the Reinforced Barrel to increase damage range and bullet velocity for enhanced performance at a distance.

For better handling and mobility, use the Ergonomic Grip, which increases slide-to-fire speed, dive-to-fire speed, and aim down sight (ADS) speed, complementing the benefits of Omnimovement.

Finish off the setup with the Kepler Microflex, providing a clean, precise sight picture for improved accuracy.

GPR 91

Much like the AMES 85, the GPR 91 stands out as a powerful assault rifle in Ranked Play, offering exceptional mobility and handling that cater to fast-paced matches.

The recommended build for the GPR 91 closely mirrors that of the AMES 85, with one key difference: the choice of muzzle attachment. Instead of the Ported Compensator, opt for the standard Compensator, which is better suited to the GPR’s strengths.

Due to GPR’s already impressive handling mobility, the Compensator shines by providing superior vertical recoil control and reducing gun kick. This ensures consistent accuracy and target tracking during sustained bursts, making it a reliable choice for players who prioritize precision in extended gunfights.

Jackal PDW

The Jackal PDW is currently the top-performing submachine gun for Ranked Play, excelling in close-quarters combat thanks to its exceptional handling and mobility. Its agility makes it a formidable choice for players who favor fast-paced, aggressive playstyles.

To enhance its performance, equip the Compensator and Ranger Foregrip to significantly improve recoil control, ensuring better accuracy during rapid bursts of fire.

Pair these attachments with the Reinforced Barrel, which enhances range and bullet velocity, making the Jackal PDW effective even in mid-range encounters.

To leverage Omnimovement with this SMG, choose the Ergonomic Grip and Balanced Stock. These attachments boost overall maneuverability, allowing you to dominate engagements with unmatched fluidity and precision.

PP-919

The PP-919 SMG is another excellent choice for Ranked Play, offering balanced stats that make it a reliable weapon in fast-paced matches.

Begin your loadout with the Ported Compensator, which improves first-shot recoil control and overall stability, ensuring consistent accuracy in high-pressure situations.

Go with the Reinforced Barrel to extend its effective range and bullet velocity, enabling the PP-919 to hold its own in medium range skirmishes, much like the Jackal PDW.

For enhanced mobility and close-quarters efficiency, equip the Ergonomic Grip and No Stock. This combination boosts hipfire accuracy, strafing speed, and overall movement agility, making it ideal for outmaneuvering opponents.

Since the PP-919 already features a larger magazine compared to other SMGs, select the Fast Mag III to optimize reload speed, ADS speed, and sprint-to-fire speed. These upgrades ensure you’re always ready to stay in the fight, no matter the scenario.
