Best Ames 85 loadout in Black Ops 6 Ranked Play

The Ames 85 is a strong choice for Black Ops 6 Ranked Play, offering a perfect balance of impressive fire rate, competitive damage output, and controllable recoil.

This gun is ideal for medium- to long-range engagements. Below are the best attachments to enhance the weapon's stability and performance in distance gunfights:

  • Muzzle: Ported Compensator
  • Barrel: Reinforced Barrel
  • Rear Grip: Ergonomic Grip
  • Fire Mod: Recoil Spring
  • Optic: Kepler Microflex

The Ported Compensator is a must-have attachment for improving vertical recoil control, especially during the first few shots. It makes your initial shots more accurate, allowing you to deal damage and maintain control of the weapon.

The Reinforced Barrel enhances the gun's effectiveness across longer ranges by increasing its bullet velocity and damage range, making medium- and long-range engagements easier.

The Ergonomic Grip is ideal for Multiplayer, complementing the new Omnimovement mechanics. It boosts slide-to-fire speed, dive-to-fire speed, and ADS speed, making you more responsive and better able to leverage mobility.

The Recoil Spring reduces vertical and horizontal recoil by absorbing shot impact, ensuring steadier aim during sustained fire.

Lastly, the Kepler Microflex optic is perfect for precision. Its clean sight picture enhances accuracy, making it a popular choice for sharpshooters.
