Best SVA 545 Loadout for MW3: Class setup, Attachments, Perks & more

The SVA 545 is a formidable weapon despite being the initial assault rifle available to players in MW3. To optimize its performance in Season 4 Reloaded, consider using the following loadout for the best results.

Players jumping fresh into Modern Warfare 3 will often run the SVA 545 as their first weapon. Considering it’s the first weapon in the jack-of-all-trades Assault Rifle category, it’s an easy first choice.

However, this weapon is still one of the best options for players to run with, even beyond those first few levels. It has some quirks that you have to get used to, but once you do, it becomes a real treat to use in the game.

Here is a complete guide to making the best SVA 545 loadout in MW3 Season 4 Reloaded including Class setup, Attachments, and Perks.

Best SVA 545 MW3 loadout

• Stock: Mane V6 Stock
• Barrel: NT Quietus Suppressed Barrel
• Optic: JAK Glassless Optic
• Rear Grip: Demo 650 Grip
• Underbarrel: SL Skeletal Vertical Grip

The SVA 545 has a unique firing sequence. It fires a two-shot burst when you first fire the weapon, followed by an automatic fire rate. While this may feel odd at first, it has proven to be a strong contender due to its high damage and fast TTK. Don’t be afraid to let go of the trigger here and there to burst fire this weapon and maximize your DPS.

This loadout begins with the Mane V6 Stock to help curb some of that gun kickback when firing. It gives you better recoil control to make sure that you can land your shots when you need to, and keep the pressure on your target.

Next up is the NT Quietus Suppressed Barrel which offers more handling and mobility so that you can get around the map much easier. It also helps you stay off the radar when you fire your weapon, which gives you an added element of stealth.

The focus on recoil control and firing stability is continued with the Demo 650 Grip and the SL Skeletal Vertical Grip. Both of these will improve your recoil (though the SL Skeletal will cause some more horizontal issues), and will also give you better overall stability when aiming.

Finally, the JAK Glassless Optic is one of the best sights in MW3 thanks to its clarity and excellent sightlines.

Best SVA 545 MW3 loadout: Perks and Equipment

• Vest: Infantry
  • increases the duration of your Tac Sprint and improves its refresh time

• Gloves: Scavenger
  • resupply ammo

• Boots: Stalker
  • increases your ADS and strafing speed

• Gear: Mag Holster
  • increases your reload speed

• Lethal: Frag Grenade
• Tactical: Flash Grenade
• Field Equipment: Trophy System

Modern Warfare 3 has removed the classic perk system with a new system involving using gear. Check out our complete guide on this if you need an explainer for what each gear item does. In this case, we recommend the Infantry Vest since it increases your Tac Sprint duration and reduces the refresh time.

A quick note on the choices here, there are several powerful gloves in MW3 but Scavenger helps since this thing shreds ammo. Additionally, Stalker boots are ideal as they boost your strafe and ADS speeds with the AR. The game is always getting faster, so being able to stay moving is paramount to your success.

Mag Holster is also geared towards speed by increasing how quickly you can reload your weapon in a bind. This will help you to get back into the fight at a better pace than before.

Your lethal and tactical equipment choices are whatever fits your fancy. That said, after the Season 1 Reloaded and Season 3 patches, the Thermobaric Grenade has become a top contender in the lethal equipment category.
