Call of Duty Black Ops 6 – The Best AMES 85 Loadout2 min read

The Black Ops 6 ARs are competing with each for the top spot, with each one as great as the rest. In that competition,  you’ll also find the AMES 85, which has rightfully earned its place as the most lethal weapon once you adorn it with a certain set of attachments. While it has a slower TTK speed than the AK-47 or XM4, its high power and reliable accuracy make up for it. To enhance its performance, here’s the best loadout we recommend, along with its Class Setup.

The Best AMES 85 Loadout

  • Barrel – Reinforced Barrel
  • Fire Mods – Recoil Springs
  • Muzzle – Ported Compensator
  • Optics – Kepler Microflex
  • Rear Grip – CQB Grip

While this loadout seems straightforward and simple, it’s highly effective in Black Ops 6. It’s mainly focused on increasing the assault rifle’s firepower and mobility and boosting accuracy, both of which are crucial in long-range gunfights. Although ARs suffer with mobility, this build is designed to keep players on their toes while they’re aiming and moving, owing to the CQB Grip.

The Ported Compensator helps to keep your shots steady by reducing the horizontal recoil, whereas the Reinforced Barrel adds damage when you’re shooting from a distance. You can also replace the Recoil Springs for the Extended Mag I if you prefer having an additional 15 shots in hand, especially when you’re too busy holding an objective against several enemies.

The Best AMES 85 Perks & Class Setup

  • Perk 1 – Flak Jacket
  • Perk 2 – Dispatcher
  • Perk 3 – Guardian
  • Specialty – Strategist
  • WildcardPerk Greed
  • Perk Greed – Gung Ho
  • Lethal – Semtex
  • Tactical – Concussion
  • Melee – Knife
  • Field Upgrade – Trophy System

The best set of Perks that go perfectly with this particular assault rifle is the Strategist Specialty since it rewards players for playing the objective and lending a hand to their team members with air support. However, you always have the option to swap out the Perks mentioned above with some more focused on getting you kills if that’s something you prefer while playing Black Ops 6.

Scorestreaks

  • Scout Pulse
  • UAV
  • Counter UAV

This specific build works effectively with scorestreaks, including the Scout Pulse, UAV, and Counter UAV. These streaks help to keep the opponent on your radar and assist you and your team by eliminating them from the game before they can even figure out what’s going on. The key is to stay off enemy sightlines and hit them before they get a hint of what you’re up to.

Make sure you remove the opponent’s field upgrades or utilize the Cigma 2B launcher to shoot down their streaks to get easy scores in every match. Once you’re done with the loadout, you can start customizing your weapon’s looks by opting for the Abyss camo or Nebula camo boost.
