Ranked Play is getting even more intense in Black Ops 6 season four, especially after recent weapon adjustments and updates to the competitive ruleset.
If you’re grinding for Skill Rating (SR) and aiming to move up the ladder, here are the best loadouts you’ll want to be running in the current BO6 season to stay ahead of the competition.
Best ranked loadouts in BO6 season four
Best Kompakt 92 ranked loadout
| Slot | Attachment |
|---|---|
| Muzzle |
Ported Compensator (first shot recoil control, vertical recoil control) |
| Barrel |
Reinforced Barrel (damage range, bullet velocity) |
| Underbarrel |
Ranger Foregrip (horizontal recoil control, sprinting movement speed) |
| Rear Grip |
Ergonomic Grip (dive and slide to fire speed, ADS and jumping ADS speed) |
| Stock |
Infiltrator Stock (aim walking movement speed) |
The Kompakt 92 has a bit of a shaky recoil. So, if you’re also having trouble keeping it steady like me, I’d suggest running the Ported Compensator along with the Ranger Foregrip, as these two help a lot with control. However, if you’re already comfortable with the recoil, you can swap out the muzzle for the Volzhisky Reflex optic. The iron sights aren’t the greatest on this SMG, so having a cleaner sight can definitely make a difference.
Best Jackal PDW ranked loadout
| Slot | Attachment |
|---|---|
| Barrel |
Gain-Twist Barrel (bullet velocity) |
| Underbarrel |
Ranger Foregrip (horizontal recoil control, sprinting movement speed) |
| Rear Grip |
Ergonomic Grip (dive and slide to fire speed, ADS and jumping ADS speed) |
| Stock |
Infiltrator Stock (aim walking movement speed) |
| Fire Mods |
Recoil Springs (horizontal and vertical recoil control) |
With the C9 removed in Black Ops 6 Ranked Play this season, the Jackal PDW is now easily the top SMG. This setup is all about bumping up mobility, handling, and recoil control, making it perfect for close-quarters battle. You don’t have barrel options other than Gain-Twist, but that’s not a bad thing since it helps keep your TTK solid even when you’re taking fights at mid-range.
Best GPR 91 ranked loadout
| Slot | Attachment |
|---|---|
| Optic |
Kepler Microflex (clean sight picture) |
| Muzzle |
Ported Compensator (first shot recoil control, vertical recoil control) |
| Barrel |
Reinforced Barrel (damage range, bullet velocity) |
| Rear Grip |
Ergonomic Grip (dive and slide to fire speed, ADS and jumping ADS speed) |
| Stock |
Infiltrator Stock (aim walking movement speed) |
The GPR 91 is now part of the meta in ranked, thanks to the remarkable buff it got in the season four patch. Its medium damage range is gone, but now it only takes two headshots to enhance the TTK across all ranges. Basically, land two headshots and just one more to the body, and you’re dropping enemies fast. That’s why the Ported Compensator is a key attachment here, as it keeps those follow-up shots nice and steady.
Best AMES 85 ranked loadout
| Slot | Attachment |
|---|---|
| Optic |
Kepler Microflex (clean sight picture) |
| Muzzle |
Ported Compensator (first shot recoil control, vertical recoil control) |
| Barrel |
Reinforced Barrel (damage range, bullet velocity) |
| Underbarrel |
Vertical Foregrip (horizontal recoil control) |
| Stock |
Infiltrator Stock (aim walking movement speed) |
The AMES 85 is still the most well-rounded weapon in Black Ops 6 Ranked Play. I like going with the Vertical Foregrip here to turn it into a laser beam. But if you’re confident managing the recoil and like to play more aggressively, you can replace it with the Ergonomic Grip to get snappier handling when you’re on the move.
Best class setup in BO6 season 4 Ranked Play
- Secondary weapon: Stryder .22
- Optic: Kepler Microflex
- Magazine: Fast Mag II
- Rear Grip: Quickdraw Grip
- Melee: Knife
- Tactical: Concussion
- Lethal: Semtex
- Field Upgrade: Trophy System
- Perk 1: Ninja
- Perk 2: Fast Hands
- Perk 3: Double Time
- Perk Greed: Flak Jacket
- Wildcard: Perk Greed
I’d definitely recommend running Perk Greed over Gunfighter as your wildcard in BO6 Ranked Play, unless you’re more comfortable having an eight-attachment setup. With Perk Greed, you get more flexibility and utility, which really pays off in ranked matches.
Choose Flak Jacket in the first perk slot, which is a must-have to reduce damage from explosives, especially with all the frags and semtex flying around. You’re locked into Fast Hands in the second slot, but it’s still good since it helps with quicker weapon swaps and equipment use, which can give you an edge in fast-paced gunfights.
Grab Double Time for your third perk. It extends your tactical sprint, which is huge when you’re trying to rotate quickly in Hardpoint or close the gap in tight situations. And for your extra slot from Perk Greed, go with Ninja. It quiets down your footsteps, making it a lot harder for enemies to track you by sound, ideal for sneaky plays.
