Best Loadout for Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Ranked Play

While most squads will favor ARs, it can still be helpful to have an SMG or two on a team. This is especially true in Hardpoint, where their mobility over ARs can help teams get an advantage by rotating to a hill early. For the best SMG build, we recommend using the Gunfighter Wildcard and loading the C9 up with the following attachments:

• Kepler Microflex Optic
• Compensator – Improves Vertical Recoil Control
• Long Barrel – Improves Damage Range
• Vertical Foregrip – Improves Horizontal Recoil Control
• Flip Mag – Improves Reload Speed
• Quickdraw Grip – Improves Aim Down Sight Speed
• No Stock – Improves Hipfire Movement Speed, Movement Speed, and Strafing Movement Speed
• Recoil Springs – Improves Horizontal Recoil Control and Vertical Recoil Control

With this build, the C9 looks and feels a bit like the classic MP5K from the original Black Ops. It has great mobility and handling, which makes it a great fit for rushers and players who like to rotate early. Its biggest bonus, though, is the Flip Mag attachment, which is one of the few available magazines that improve reload speed without reducing magazine size in Black Ops 6 Ranked Play.

Best Sniper for Ranked Play in Black Ops 6

At Ranked Play launch, it appears as though the two snipers available for use in Control and Hardpoint have all their attachments restricted. Do note that neither are available for use in Search and Destroy.

So, which should you pick? The LW3A1 Frostline is likely the best option for most players and teams. It is far more mobile than the LR 7.62, so quickscoping is an option with it. Just be sure to hit the mid-torso or above for consistent one-shot kills.

Non-Meta Weapons to Watch in Black Ops 6 Ranked Play

While the Model L and C9 are the best weapons to use at launch, there is always the possibility weapons will get adjusted – if not outright removed – according to Ranked Play feedback. Here are some other weapons we recommend experimenting with in the event they fit your play style better than our top picks:

• XM4
• GPR 91
• Krig C
• Jackal PDW

And that’s the best loadout to use in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Ranked Play.
