The best CR-56 AMAX loadout and class in Black Ops 6

The clock has turned back to 2020 in Black Ops 6, as Call of Duty's season three revolving around Warzone nostalgia has brought back several classic guns from that era, like the CR-56 AMAX. The CR-56 AMAX's in-game description calls it "compact and powerful," an AR that's "built exclusively for military use" and "deadly at mid-range combat" while also being "easily configured for a variety of assault rifles." "Combining high-damage hits with a fast fire rate and good handling, the CR-56 AMAX is the perfect mid-range weapon for downing targets fast," Activision said of the classic gun. "Eliminate enemies in three to four shots up to 25 meters out, leaving plenty left over to chew through equipped armor. Quick reloads get you back into the action fast, a helpful trait no matter how you choose to customize the weapon via Gunsmith." There is some flexibility to be had with this weapon's attachments, but here's what we think is the best loadout build for the CR-56 AMAX in BO6 so far.
