Ranked Play has now released in Black Ops 6 and people are asking what are the best guns to use in the game mode.
Interestingly, the Ranked Play queue has different bans than the actual pros will be using, however, you will still be unable to use the AS VAL as well as three of the Pistols within the game.
There's still a reasonable amount of guns to choose from, including some that are part of the battle pass, so let's go over the guns you should be using in your Ranked Play games on Black Ops 6.
If you're an SMG player in COD, then there's only one gun for you in Ranked Play and that is the Jackal PDW.
By far the best SMG in the game, it has nice iron sights and good damage compared to the rest of the guns in it's class.
It's also the SMG that you will be given a class for when first loading Black Ops 6 Ranked Play, meaning you won't need to create one yourself and only have to edit it.
One of the biggest outrages within the community when the banned guns list was revealed was the absence of the XM4. The XM4 was the first gun GA'd by the pro players, and many had accepted that ban to be upheld by Treyarch for Ranked Play.
The XM4 is a solid damage Assault Rifle with low recoil and a fast rate of fire, making it the perfect AR for Ranked Play.
Unfortunately, there isn't a default class for the XM4 so you'll need to find the best attachments yourself, but we have you covered.
Due to the fast rate of fire, the XM4 Ranked Play loadout will feature a Light Stock, which allows you to be far more mobile than other options. If you do want to be more mobile, you may also want to use a Quickdraw Grip or Ergonomic Grip instead of a Vetical Foregrip.
Another gun that has been GA'd by pros but is allowed in Black Ops 6 Ranked Play is the Model L.
A slower fire rate Assault Rifle, the Model L is the perfect Assault Rifle for someone with a slower playstyle that likes to take long range fights with consistency.
The Ranked Play build for the Model L will be largely the same, however, we recommend using the Ported Compensator over the Compensator and an Ergonomic Grip just for the added mobility.
Finally we come to the Krig C, the most broken gun in Black Ops 6 Ranked Play.
The Krig C has a decent rate of fire, manageable recoil, but most importantly, it can kill with just four bullets at decent range, making it the meta Assault Rifle in Ranked Play until it is patched.
Because of all of these reasons, we're going to go with an equally non-meta loadout for the Krig C in Ranked Play as we did for the XM4, especially because it won't feature the Reinforced Barrel. This is because the Reinforced Barrel will give no benefit and the ranges in which you will take most of your gunfights.
Instead, we'll make a Krig C Ranked Play loadout that maximises mobility, helping you to turn the gun into an SMG with a greater effective range.
