Black Ops 6 Ranked Play allows players to test their might against similarly skilled players for rewards and bragging rights. To even out the playing field, only certain weapons, attachments, Equipment, and Perks are available.
You can only pick from a pool of Assault Rifles, SMGs, and Sniper Rifles, so many are wondering what the best loadout is for each category. To help you dominate every map and mode in BO6 Ranked Play, here are the best loadouts to build.
