Call of Duty: Vanguard's Ranked Play is currently live in beta, which offers a much more competitive way to play than the standard multiplayer playlists. However, Ranked Play follows the official rules, maps, and game modes of the 2022 Call of Duty League, meaning this competitive mode contains plenty of perk, weapon, and attachment restrictions. Here we guide you through setting up the best loadouts available to use in Ranked Play.

Best primary weapon for Ranked Play

The primary weapon you decide to equip for Ranked Play will be determined by the role you prefer to play. If you're looking to hold down a lane in a slayer role then the Automaton assault rifle is the best choice, while you'll want the MP-40 submachine gun for close-quarters action near the objective.
