The AMES 85 is ideal for players who excel at medium to long-range combat. This assault rifle, with the right attachments, allows you to stay highly mobile while landing damage-boosted headshots. Unlike the fast-paced SMG meta, the AMES 85 shines on maps like Derelict and Rewind, where long sightlines and ambush opportunities are plentiful.

The ability to multiply your damage output with headshots makes the AMES 85 one of the deadliest options in Black Ops 6. Paired with extended mags and enhanced handling, this loadout ensures you dominate your enemies while still maintaining mobility.

Here’s the best loadout to get the most out of the AMES 85.
