Best Ames 85 Loadout in BO6

Attachments are mostly positive, and for the Ames 85 in Black Ops 6, we simply want to boost what the weapon already excels in. Our attachments should increase the effective range, the overall accuracy, and the ADS speed for each encounter. With all of the pieces put together, the Ames becomes a dangerous tool at any distance. Versatility is the name of the game.

You can see the best loadout for the Ames 85 in BO6 below:

  • Barrel: Reinforced Barrel
  • Muzzle: Compensator
  • Rear Grip: Quickdraw Grip
  • Stock: Balanced Stock
  • Optic: Merlin Mini

There are a couple of changes you can make to the build over time as you get accustomed to the weapon. In general, the muzzle is better for vertical control, but the underbarrel slot can help even out the horizontal recoil if you prefer that. And if you want some extra firepower, try the Rapid Fire mod. Otherwise, it’s hard to mess this weapon up because of how strong the stats are by default.

Best Class for the Ames 85 in BO6

With all of the attachments in order for the Ames 85, the next step is to get the full class in order. Below you can find all the perks you need, along with equipment and a Field Upgrade to finish it all off.

Perks

  • Perk 1: Ghost
  • Perk 2: Dexterity
  • Perk 3: Double Time

Field Upgrades

  • Trophy System

Equipment

  • Stim Shot

Like the loadout, there are some areas of the class that you can rearrange as you see fit, but this is a fantastic Ames 85 build to get your Multiplayer matches going in Black Ops 6. If you get sick of the AR gameplay though, the Jackal PDW might be the way to go.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 will be available to play on October 25.
