Best C9 loadout in Black Ops 6 Ranked Play

Since Season 3 in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, Ranked Play has seen a massive shift in what weapons are used by a majority of the player base. While the AMES 85 is still the top dog in the assault rifle class, the submachine gun class is a different story. Due to some nerfs to the Jackal PDW, many players have swapped over to the C9 instead. If you're thinking about making the switch or you have already, you'll want to ensure you're using the best Ranked Play loadout for the C9 in Black Ops 6.

While many attachments are restricted for SMGs in Ranked, the C9 has a few more options than the Jackal PDW that make its loadout tricky to make.

Thanks to the Season 3 nerfs to the Jackal PDW, the C9 is a much more accurate SMG now. While the damage range between the two weapons is back-and-forth, if you want the most accurate SMG in Ranked, you'll want to equip the C9.

You can see our recommended loadout for the C9 in Ranked Play below:

The C9's loadout for Ranked Play is fairly similar to that of the Jackal PDW's loadout, but there are a few slight changes. Instead of using a stock on the loadout, we've gone with the Recoil Springs to give the C9 the most accuracy possible, allowing you to laser enemies across any map in Black Ops 6.

We're also using the Reinforced Barrel, which is restricted on the Jackal PDW in Ranked Play. This allows the C9 to more closely match the Jackal in terms of damage range and bullet velocity, making it an even more formidable SMG.

Finally, the C9 loadout also utilizes the Compensator muzzle, another restricted attachment on the Jackal. The Compensator also boosts the C9's accuracy, adding to its laser-like bullet pattern.

The loadout rounds out with the Vertical Foregrip and the CQB Grip. However, you can swap those attachments for the Ranger Foregrip and the Ergonomic Grip if you want some added mobility on the C9.

All in all, this C9 loadout for Black Ops 6 Ranked Play can easily match the Jackal PDW and even surpass it in some key areas. However, the Jackal PDW does become a slightly stronger SMG if you can manage to use its special VMP blueprint in Ranked.
