Omnimovement is the biggest defining factor in Black Ops 6’s gunplay, allowing players to sprint, dive, and slide in all directions while simultaneously blasting at their opponents with an arsenal of familiar weaponry. While players looking to capitalize on the game’s fast movement may opt for weapons like the C9 to stay agile and quick on their feet, weapons like the AMES 85 are great for those looking to take a more tactical approach.
The AMES 85 is one of the few Assault Rifles available to players in Black Ops 6 and is best compared to the XM4 in overall stats. Like the XM4, the AMES 85 boasts high accuracy and decent mobility for an Assault Rifle, but differs in its faster fire rate. If players hit their shots, this gives the weapon a relatively fast TTK, but it can be improved even further with the right loadout.

Best Perks & Wildcard
First up is Assassin, a Perk that is particularly popular among aggressive players looking to locate high-streaked opponents on the minimap, along with gaining a score bonus for eliminating them. The next two Perks focus on mobility, with Gung-Ho being useful for countering movement penalties, and Double Time enhancing a player’s Tactical Sprint duration. Running all three Perks will grant players the Enforcer Speciality, which further boosts movement upon eliminating enemies and improves health regeneration. The final Perk in this package is Flak Jacket, which is essential for countering grenade spam, though it requires the Perk Greed Wildcard to equip it.
- Assassin (Perk 1)
- Gung-Ho (Perk 2)
- Double Time (Perk 3)
- Enforcer (Specialty)
- Perk Greed (Wildcard)
- Flak Jacket (Perk Greed)
Secondary Recommendations
The AMES 85 is one of the top weapons in Black Ops 6, so players often default to using it as their main weapon within their loadout. However, due to the weapon’s fast fire rate, players may find themselves needing to reload during hectic gunfights. This is where a good Secondary weapon proves useful, with options from the Handgun category being great choices to consider. Either the 9mm PM or the GS45 will do just fine, as both are more than capable of taking out opponents when a player’s Primary weapon is out of action.
