Idk why but the Ames 85 is probably my favorite gun in the game. Low recoil, solid fire rate, satisfying sound. It may not be the absolute best, but I love the gun personally.
Thank you for including the ranked setup for this gun. A lot of the pros do "feel tests" and make assumptions about attachments and guns. I appreciate you looking at the rules and using your metrics you've gathered to actually apply statistical reasoning for using certain attachments. The gaintwist vs reinforced is a great example of an attachment that is likely being used sub optimally.
Glad to see Rapid Fire is decent enough to use on this gun because I've been using it, and it definitely felt like it made a difference. Unfortunately it's still less than 100+ RPM. Really wish it made a bigger difference on all the weapons, especially since Rapid Fire has significantly more cons than it ever had in any other CoD.
Rapid fire as an attachment rides a very thin line between overpowered and useless. I think it's hard to make it powerful without it feeling like a crutch attachment.
@loadedexcrement - It should destroy your recoil control to the point that you need to run Compensator and/or a Foregrip for mid-long ranges. I think the Damage Range and Bullet Velocity fall-offs are a little overkill. Remove those cons, give it an RPM buff on all weapons, and make the recoil a bit worse.
I feel like a good class for this gun is to just optimize how much of a laser it is and account for that faster killing guns will inevitably miss some shots. So in a weird way this gun is great for people without struggle with aiming and recoil control because it’s easy to use but is also great for people with really good aim because they can genuinely laser people and really use their good aim to their advantage. For most people who fall somewhere in between, it might not be the best.
Unclear why anyone would use the AMES 85 over the XM4 except for the sake of variety in core game modes. XM4 shoots 50 RPM faster with a 4 shot range of ~40m, ~10m less than the AMES 85. AMES 85 is 5 ms slower ADS than the XM4 and the tradeoff is 20ms faster dive to fire time. XM4 reloads faster with both 45 round and 60 round mags. XM4 has faster movement speed in all 4 areas. The XM4's recoil is straighter in the first 10-15 bullets of a 30-round mag dump too. AMES 85 needs differentiation in terms of handling, movement speed, and/or recoil to give more reason to use it over XM4. The difference in TTK at 40m+ isn't enough to differentiate it.
Any gun in the last few CODs that's balanced in 6v6 to be a standout in something like Warzone is garbage, especially now that they don't even include Ground War or another mode where such guns can excel. They need to keep 6v6 balance relevant to 6v6. What map in this game has regular 40m+ engagements?
Guys! I got the HE gold camo! And I did it within a single week! I am so happy! Now I'm praying Dark Spine gets reworked because I don't hate myself enough to go through this nonsense again.
Yes, but it's short-stroke gas piston system ended up becoming the blueprint for most modern rifle platforms (SCAR, MCX, ACR, CZ Bren, etc.) so it's legacy still lives on, which I think is pretty cool
Pure LMG main here, the Ames is the only weapon you'll ever see me using outside of LMGs and Launchers for the pure fact that I also love grandiers, and since the Ames looked the best to me personally, I went with that. I think I made a good choice.
Mag extend II Standard Grandiers X4 sight Rapid fire Situational either stock for better ADS Movement speed or gain twist barrel when my mates are decent and I can stay further back most of the time
Seems like you would pair reinforced barrel with rapid fire in a gunfighter setup. based on the first damage range and hit scan chart the 2 would matchup perfectly.
Honestly I've never seen any noticeable difference to a gunfight by changing the velocity. Like we know where hitscan ends but how long does it stay indistinguishable from hit-scan after the first range is over? Probably quite a bit further.
Damn my natural gravitation towards high damage high recoil makes me absolutely hate this weapon but one thing I will say is that it is super consistent.
Doing the camo grind on this was some of the most miserable gameplay i've had on BO6. Moving onto the Krig afterwards felt like night and day with the TTK difference.
For Ranked/Best Long Range Build, I believe the Range Barrell to be much better. Say you are having a gunfight at 55-65m. Both of you are using ARs, one has BV barrel, other has Range Barrell. The range Barrell wins easily if they both hit all of their shots due to the extended 5shot kill range.
recently got my 100 headshots on this thing and it felt like it fired marshmallows. I unloaded nearly a full extended mag 1 into somebody in the nuketown window and DIDN'T get the kill. Mind you, my accuracy wasn't perfect but I landed way more than 6 hit markers lmao. Will give rapid fire a go to finish up the rest of the challenges.
Hi Ace, love the channel (been around for a decade ;-)). One thing I just notice; it’s a pity you don’t mention the real world counterpart of the gun at the intro (think you used to do this with the gun guides). So the “Ames 85, based on the XXX gun”. Loved the fact you used to mention this. I am no gun expert, so it would give some perspective / had me search the real version of it online. But other than that, quality of the vids is as high as it can be! Keep it up, thanks!
In some areas yes but in range and accuracy not really. Add that to the fact you van maintain alot of that accuracy with rapid fire on and its genuinely one of the better ARs to take long range fights with. With that being said, the krig is insane lol
I used to like the Ames 85 as my favorite gun in the game, but I feel like the TTK isn’t reasonable alongside the below average handling and mobility. In my opinion, I’d replace this one with the Krig C as my new favorite gun instead.
I haven't used it much I did a little bit because I had the blueprint you got for watching COD Next but it just felt slow so I ended up sticking with SMGs haven't really touched any of the ARs yet, granted also just haven't played a ton of Multiplayer yet still been playing mostly Zombies since you need XP to get Augments I always feel like I'm wasting XP if I go to Multiplayer even when I want a break from Zombies
Can u show us what ergonomic grip is doing compared to quickdraw? Cus in every situation i found the quickdraw speed was being used, I slide and dive alot and the quickdraw was quicker for all of that.
One question, how come you didn't go for the ported comp? those first shots look to be really off on the gun and if the recoil isn't that bad, would that not help to keep it more consistent?
Hi, please bring attention to the broken Aus / NZ servers at the moment. Noone can find a match within the region and are getting placed into matches after 10+min of searching in Asia and other regions etc. You deadset can not finding anything under 150ms.
Could you drop the one for the Jackal on Dec 6th & mention the CDL starting? I think it could be very beneficial for the scene & for those who dunno about it
@leons.kennedy4596 I'm working on getting all ar's gold in order. As much as I'm not liking the Ames I'll still feel accomplished when I have it max level/camo. It's just something I've done since the original mw3.
Hey guys I don’t know if ace will have time to answer but what does the game count as a headshot for the head shot challenge. Because I’ve noticed I get one bullet to hit the head but I don’t get the headshot medal for the kill. It seems like multiple shots have to hit the head to count towards camo challenged
@TheXclusiveAce This gun would've been the Krig of Black Ops 6 ... until they brought it back as the C in Season 1. Recoil wise, which is better? GPR 91, Ames, or the Krig C?
I understand they have to balance TTK, but making headshots useless is such annoying sacrifice. Even with the CHF barrel on any gun it doesnt help much.
Unrelated question to video, is there any equipment, tactical scorestreak, kill streak that allows you or your teammates to see enemies through walls like the recon perk?
You can spam it really fast in mp. Not like campaign where it takes time. You press it quick and it highlights players it spots and for about 1.2s after.
Nice video more ranked weapon loadout please. Would it be possible to put subtitles in Czech, please, please. the third-party program is good, but it can't find videos like on UA-cam
Please Ace I know it take a lot of time to do a secret lanes and sights for these 💩 maps but I need to gain an advantage on these sweet gods & really catch em lacking…
This was the first gun I got gold. The headshots were easy to get with this one and the rest of the guns I've worked on since then are making me dislike the game. The more I play blops 6, the less I like it. MW2023>Blops 6.

It’s basically the M27 of BO6
It goes prrrr like a pussycat.

He was MOOVING

Only gun I’ve felt a noticeable difference with rapid fire attached (so far) is the tanto. Absolutely rips.

@@DonDeLemI agree with this
Extra 100 fire rate is nuts I don’t agree that should be the norm for full auto rapid fire.

Exactly right
The Ames is heavily slept on. I just finished grinding the gold camo on it and it absolutely beams.
Definitely being enjoying this gun so far
yeah this is probably my favorite AR in the game, rapid fire absolutely shreds people on this thing and it has like zero recoil
Rapid fire on slower RPM guns really helps in this game. Had excellent luck so far with this, the Model L, and the Tanto with it.
I finished the dark matter grind, and I am so happy that to be using this gun again.
Oh sweet I literally just started working on the camos for this guy
AMES 85 with compensator, vertical foregrip, and recoil springs = LASER BEAM
This type of gun is usually ny go-to in a CoD game. Long range, dead on accurate guns that are easy to use.
Really appreciate these gun guides and look forward to them. I don't get why they seem get less views than your other videos

Reminds me a lot of the M13 from MW19
type 25 from bo2 aswell
The m13 has the same operating mechanism, so it makes sense
Kilo 141/Grau 5.56 more like. 5 shot kill is normal for this game.
I dropped the laser and use reinforced barrel. It just makes it feel better for ME anyway. Thanx Ace!!
Guys! I got the HE gold camo! And I did it within a single week! I am so happy!
Now I'm praying Dark Spine gets reworked because I don't hate myself enough to go through this nonsense again.
I'm right there with you, the HE was awful to get gold, really not looking forward to dark spine but super happy you got it gold! Congrats!
Congrats man but seems the new sirin can replace he1 so u get cigma dark matter
The AMES 85 is based on Tac ArmalLite AR-18 pretty cool gun but was a fail project and declined by the government and military personnel
The rifle is famous for two reasons:
It featured in Terminator and it was a favourite of the Irish Republican Army.
@@raptorcell6633 Proud to be Irish 💪
Yes, but it's short-stroke gas piston system ended up becoming the blueprint for most modern rifle platforms (SCAR, MCX, ACR, CZ Bren, etc.) so it's legacy still lives on, which I think is pretty cool
As usual, I'm a Hard Core fan and the Ames 85 is my go-to Assault Rifle. I love it.
Perfect timing, just starting the gold grind for this gun last night.
Thanks, great as usual Ace. It breaks my heart that the AR 18, known here as AMES, isn’t better than most of the other rifles in this game😢
you forgot to factor in packet loss.. haha
Thanks for the ranked loadout!
Great stuff as always!! Something about this gun I loved using it to get to gold fav gun so far
Pure LMG main here, the Ames is the only weapon you'll ever see me using outside of LMGs and Launchers for the pure fact that I also love grandiers, and since the Ames looked the best to me personally, I went with that. I think I made a good choice.
Mag extend II
Standard Grandiers
X4 sight
Rapid fire
Situational either stock for better ADS Movement speed or gain twist barrel when my mates are decent and I can stay further back most of the time
Ammo field upgrade is a must and the grandiers main function is dealing with SMGs in close range
Seems like you would pair reinforced barrel with rapid fire in a gunfighter setup. based on the first damage range and hit scan chart the 2 would matchup perfectly.
Yes i think it's very good with those
Gonna try this out
Honestly I've never seen any noticeable difference to a gunfight by changing the velocity. Like we know where hitscan ends but how long does it stay indistinguishable from hit-scan after the first range is over? Probably quite a bit further.
This gun shoots nothing but false hope. An absolute nightmare for headshot challenges
We’ve been gifted with that double upload
Damn my natural gravitation towards high damage high recoil makes me absolutely hate this weapon but one thing I will say is that it is super consistent.
I forget how beautiful Ace is
Doing the camo grind on this was some of the most miserable gameplay i've had on BO6. Moving onto the Krig afterwards felt like night and day with the TTK difference.
Ames goes crazy in ranked .
Thanks for the ranked setup!
I'm gonna make a rapid fire + CHF build after watching this.
This is my "go to" rifle
Love this gun it was the first gun I got gold
The gun deserved a decent headshot multiplier by default, that's only improved with the CHF
I love the Ames. Gotta remind myself it’s not an lmg
I use this rifle with rapid fire to counter sweats in my lobby. They get caught off guard wondering how they lost that gunfight lol
The skins available for the Ames 85 are BROKEN.
You can't change UnderBarrel Attachments.
You can, it will just always have the launcher and the underbarrel you choose just clips into the launcher
Cant wait to see the kreig video with the certain optic on it xD
He already covered the krig
@@ESPA_Dire you're right 😖
What optic? The hawk(tuah)er?
This gun feels like a modern cods version of the bo2 m27
For Ranked/Best Long Range Build, I believe the Range Barrell to be much better. Say you are having a gunfight at 55-65m. Both of you are using ARs, one has BV barrel, other has Range Barrell. The range Barrell wins easily if they both hit all of their shots due to the extended 5shot kill range.
Probably my favorite gun with rapid fire
Thanks for vidéo 🙏
I received notification when i searched for âmes ranked setup 😂😂
Now I have to go back and check his videos again to check if rapid fire increase TTK for other weapons too
I know it's a top-tier choice for the Krig C, all of the Snipers/Marksman Rifles/Pistols, and the Tanto,
I’d love to see a Launcher video discussing the speed of the projectile - this camo grind is making me lose my sanity

Ghost bullet is wild in this game
It's shocking that Ace didn't put the Infiltrator Stock on the balanced stealth or competitive build.
This thing feels like it needs 7 shots to kill every time. They really need to fix the desync

Pls cover enforcer specialty next. I want to know if bruiser health regen stacks with enforcer health regen.
Theres less LMGs in the game than ARs. Was hoping to see LMgs first. But i guess us LMGs mains has the less popular votes.
Please focus on ranked loadouts and build discussion
Is the CHF barrell more useful than the long barrell on most weapons?
Ames 85 is one of my favorite weapons but didn’t try rapid fire on it though, will now.
When are you going to do marksman rifles?
I personally don't understand why the XM4 gets so much hype but the Ames doesn't. For me they are identical
Can u show us what ergonomic grip is doing compared to quickdraw? Cus in every situation i found the quickdraw speed was being used, I slide and dive alot and the quickdraw was quicker for all of that.
This gun reminds me of Galil in blck ops 1
Day 2 of requesting the goblin mk2 lol that thing shreds once you get a handle on it
Can't wait to see semi autos and snipers covered 6 months from now lol
Yeah another ar or smg yay. Want to see aek or tsarcov.

Was using this heavy until it felt it got nerfed,

Hey Ace for the ak74u would you suggest running long barrel over reinforced for a balanced build?
If you mean the KSV, I personally run long barrel on all my SMG builds. The velocity isn't as important as damage range boost.
Ak74 is an assault rifle bro
@ ak74u is a AK platform smg though, which the KSV is close to.
The ak74u is an ar dude what are talking about. The ksv is basically an smg version of the as val
