Best AMES 85 Loadout in Black Ops 6

The AMES 85 assault rifle in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 can give players an advantage in long-range fights and can be made better with the right attachments. Here is the best AMES 85 loadout in Black Ops 6.

Best AMES 85 Attachments in Black Ops 6

• Barrel: Long Barrel
• Muzzle: Suppressor
• Optic: Merlin Mini
• Rear Grip: Quickdraw Grip
• Underbarrel: Vertical Foregrip

The AMES 85 has great recoil control for a weapon to be used at long range, though the Vertical Foregrip gives an extra boost, so the attachments will help in other areas, like keeping you silent with a Suppressor. The Long Barrel will give increased damage range, while the Quickdraw Grip improves aiming down sights faster.

The Merlin Mini optic is a great low-profile sight, though it cannot be unlocked by using the AMES 85. You will have to rank up the XM4 assault rifle to level 25 to unlock and use it.

Best AMES 85 Loadout in Black Ops 6

• Secondary: Grekhova
• Melee: Knife
• Tactical: Stim Shot
• Lethal: Semtex
• Field Upgrade: War Cry
• Perk 1: Gung-Ho
• Perk 2: Forward Intel
• Perk 3: Double Time
• Specialty: Enforcer
• Perk Greed: Dexterity
• Wildcard: Perk Greed

The Enforcer Specialty offers increased movement speed and health regen for killing an enemy, which is perfect for an aggressive playstyle. This can be activated by equipping three red perks, but the Perk Greed Wildcard will give you an extra perk to play with.

Gung-Ho, Double Time, and Dexterity all improve movement while aiming and reloading. Forward Intel helps with an increased minimap and gives the direction of revealed enemies. However, Fast Hands can be a suitable replacement.

How to Unlock the AMES 85 in Black Ops 6

The AMES 85 assault rifle can be unlocked at level 19. This can give players enough time with the XM4 to unlock the Merlin Mini optic before upgrading to the AMES 85.
