How to INSTANTLY Improve in BO6 Ranked Play in 2025

[@danielcalderon5342]

Im Diamond 2, I think the gameplay is fantastic. Movement feels great, gunplay was better in MW3 but it’s not bad for BO6. But the servers are absolutely horrid. I don’t remember ever getting this much Desync and packet loss. Sometimes it feels like I’m frying and the other team is horrible, others times I’m getting fried, my bullets aren’t registering and the enemy team has the connection advantage while I’m lagging my ass off.

[@topthesteppa]

Bingo, the inconsistency is tragic considering the overall gameplay is amazing.

[@evanjarvis7261]

This is why I quit. No point in playing ranked on a game that doesn’t provide an even playing field for both teams!

[@e_c6324]

Yeah completely agree

[@thelastMaster100]

@danielcalderon5342 for me it's like 50/50 I have god bullets or I have ghost bullets lol

[@joey4261]

this comment is dead on. i usually top frag every game in ranked with 4000+ scores and 45+ kills. then last night i was playing, top fragging every game then i got 2 games in a row where i went like 15-25 just because none of my bullets were registering.. literally couldn’t hit a shot even tho i was aimed right at them. i got off after those 2 games. bo6 is dogshit lol

[@fk12340]

Step 1: When you are crimson 3 or higher, activate walls or aimbot or both like everyone else there

[@Mcali1984]

Going against bots got my aim insane. This was back in OG black ops. That is the one thing I would say to try and master first. Because then it makes everything else less stressful. If you have situational awareness and bad aim, that will be frustrating cause you’re going to lose a lot of gun fights. Tour as at least your aim can make up For your bad awareness. I used to play bots one hour a day. I would put an extended mag on a gun that has a lot of recoil. After you feel like you got that down, their next move is just to play your favorite game mode. A lot. Just make sure when you are shooting bots, you use a gun that has a lot of recoil. Because when you use a gun that has little to no recoil, it feels like you’re cheating. Wish you guys the best.

[@JkeThe]

did you turn aim assist off for this ? coz bots have extremely high aim asssist

[@pizzajoe3343]

I used whatever gun I want to use in ranked, but the only attachments it has are fast/extend mag and an optic so when I put my attachments back it's that much better too, but I'm still using the same recoil pattern

[@AleX-fs4ww]

10:50 this. Always believe that your opponent is worse than you and always believe that you can win a gunny against anyone on the other team. It'll keep you cool during the game and it will make you more confident with your plays and your gunfights

Thanks for the vid Lunch been watching you since mw2 your warm up drills helped me reach my highest rank since mw2 of d3 I play mouse and keyboard but the movement and gun drills are most helpful!

[@CPGamingVidz]

I realized I was the problem (skill wise), thanks for sharing your videos. I’ve definitely improved, not to say it isn’t miserable as a solo que, but that makes me have to be on point at all times. One mistake, and things start going down hill.

[@thelastMaster100]

One thing i notice between me and my duo from last games is he always goes hard in in core modes and i fuck around. So when we hit ranked he hit crimson when i hit diamond. Even in the games i carried hard he would get 80 and i would only get 40.

[@evanjarvis7261]

Yep. They use hidden mmr in ranked as well and it tries to get you to the rank it thinks you should be. Kinda defeats the purpose of having separate pubs and ranked in my opinion!

[@grizzlymojo4260]

Enjoyed the vid bro! Good info. Going to try to incorporate some of this in my game play.

[@mirkotorres237]

Great video and great advice ! I'm gold3, soon plat, I feel like my game sense is ok from watching so many videos and the pro league, but definetly need to work on my aim and sliding more strategically into corners or out of the field of view of my oponents.

The long slide is NASTY it translates well into wz too and you can catch ppl off guard pretty bad

[@kalaniflores4461]

Your videos are amazing and super helpful. I really want to push ranked for season 2. I've been working on memorizing maps and trying to read. My aim isn't terrible. I could definitely try to work on my movement more. I have decent builds/classes for casual play. I'll usually run low recoil XM4 and KSV and Recon, but do you have any good recommendations for builds/classes in ranked?

[@AleX-fs4ww]

5:15 absolutely. spamming sliding doesnt make you a good player, it just makes you worse. Learn when you should hit movement and learn when you should hold an iron. This teq separates the diamonds from the higher ranks

[@coryeldridge4907]

The matchmaking algorithm actively tries to hinder your progress, sometimes the only way to out play the algo is to just stop playing so much. The game tries to make you want to play more and will incentivize you by turning down the fuck-o-meter against you temporarily

@ wym by not playing as much? Like not playing ranked as much or the game in general?

Good tips, but do not matter when the servers are so unstable, sometime the servers only registers 30% of packages that are sendt to it. and one more thing bo6 has your webcam and mic on when the games runs, even if you turned it off in windows settings.

[@joshkuznetsov6332]

Do you warm up on free for all or tdm with bots ?

[@klozyn]

anything to help improve with KBM, I mostly solo que. i know you use controller but its hard to win gunfights on KBM my aim is really good because im supreme master first class in CS2 so my aim isnt the problem. i just feel like i lose a lot of gun fights just because of not being on controller. I've used your classes in your videos they feel good but idk if I should change anything to win more gunfights. Ive felt good with the KSV Jackal and Ames. any advice would be appreciated with classes or wtv. I love your vids. hope to see you at Lunch time!

[@krash6951]

Games controller based bro just use it, the aim assist is broken. If not you’re going to have to aim train a lot like using kovaaks or shooting bots.

[@m4nd0r1an7]

I understand that spawns and what not, but my issue is that I'm constantly trying to play the objective when my teammates are just running around just for kills and then I'm being baited into being on time and not having anyone comm in the lobby, and it's annoying that you have AI moderating comms so it can just comm ban you for whatever reason because god forbid someone said something someone didn't like. like this game is completely unplayable. and the servers are just horrible I heard that they will try to match you to foreign servers that aren't close by just because of your skill level instead of matching to close by servers with the best ping like the game will say that you have perfect ping but you'll be rubber banding to the point where the server either dies on you or the game just crashes because Activision is worried about money instead of positive consumer experience, like right now I'm constantly stuck between 5100-5300 SR or stuck in plat 3 because it will match me with people who are of "similar skill level" and then get stomped because the team is just doing nothing but going for kills and not comming. I understand how to play ranked but at this point it's hard to even justify in playing bo6 with how rigged the game is.

[@ryanbennett3271]

I totally agree! The amount of times myself and my friend are joining lobbies and people just running around for kills and not wanting to do the objective? It’s wild to me!

[@m4nd0r1an7]

@ not only that but they like the push the old hard point instead of going to new or at least leaving one for scraps but at that point they are running around and baiting you to go new instead of playing as a team

[@lee223x]

@ I seen it as a couple peoples secondary and got tripped out lol i just now put 2 and 2 together and figured they were picking it up off people

[@AleX-fs4ww]

in this game (and all treyarch games) most situations you shouldnt jump-chall. The game isnt like mw2 or mw3 where your gun is steady when landing on the ground. The gun will bob down whenever you hit the ground, screwing up your aim. use the omnimovement sliding to chall instead of jump-challing. however, jumping mid-gunfight isnt a bad idea and can help you win gunfights. therefor, slide-challing then going prone then jumping is a great method to break kids' cameras.

[@davedanger4414]

Unless you're playing at a high level, you should be doing everything. Role fill is what you do in every FPS game. Some games I AR. Some I SMG. Some I watch lanes and quick rotate. Some games I sit in hill the whole time. And most games I do a bit of everything. If you don't switch between SMG/AR depending on the hill or your spawn point, then you're making a mistake.

[@andresp5402]

@ that’s solid advice .. I just suck at the Ames so much it seems lol. But no I’ll take that into consideration to use the AR more especially for places like P3 in skyline.

How do you improve ping lol. I’m constantly at 30 or more so I feel like I’m automatically at a disadvantage specially playing on console. But ultimately I solo Q all the time so I think what would help most is making a video about what a solo Q player should do to increase the chances of winning. For example should I focus on playing for the objective in Hardpoint games or controlling spawns to get an advantage of the next point.

[@SLIGHTMARE]

Honestly I’m irri and I play against console kids all the time that win and are good, I don’t think it gives you the advantage we think, it’s all ping.
