Best SVD loadout in Black Ops 6: Class setup, attachments, perks

Sniping in Black Ops 6 is a delight, and the SVD is, in BO6’s release state, one of the best quickscoping snipers in CoD history. Using this gun feels like cheating.

Movement is king in BO6. Operators can fly around the map, over ledges, and around corners thanks to the new omnimovement system. Landing a shot on opponents is harder than its ever been in Call of Duty.

But, with the right setup, the SVD one shots without even having to scope all the way in, giving you the speed and precision you need to dominate lobbies. Here’s what you need to make this gun an elite weapon.

Best Black Ops 6 SVD loadout

• Barrel: Long Barrel
• Magazine: Extended Mag 1
• Comb: Quickdraw Riser
• Stock: Light Stock
• Laser: Strelok Laser

This loadout is all about ADSing as fast as possible and taking down enemies with more precision than other snipers in the category. It shoots faster than the other rifles, it’s got more ammo than other rifles, you don’t even have to fully aim it to be accurate, and it still one shots. This thing hits like the MW2 2009 Barret 50 cal.

To start, the Strelok Laser is the key to what makes this weapon so good. Once you learn when to shoot, you’ll be able to get fully accurate shots before the weapon is fully scoped. You can sort of half-scope like old-school CoDs. But the Quickdraw Riser helps this even further, and you’ll want both.

The Light Stock will help you with getting around faster and running through your opponent, while the Long Barrel will extend your one-shot range. It’s got shorter one-shot range than other sniper rifles even with this attachment, but you’ll still kill in one hit to the chest even at mid range.

Lastly, the Extended Mag 1 will help you to keep going without reloading, although this is up to personal preference. Fast Mag 1 is a viable choice if you prefer faster reloads and movement in exchange for a smaller mag size.

Best Perks, Equipment & Combat Specialty for SVD

Dexerto

Although challenging, pulling off sniper trick shots in Black Ops 6 is more fun than ever thanks to ominovment. Its possible to dive off ledges and shoot enemies while in mid-air, and these Perks help make that task easier.

Dexterity, for example, reduces weapon motion while jumping, sliding, and diving, while Double Time increases the duration of tactical sprinting.

And since we have three red Perks equipped, this unlocks the Enforcer Speciality, which grants a movement boost and quicker health regeneration after every kill.

To gain these benefits, you’ll want to use these perks and equipment:

• Wildcard: Perk Greed
• Perk 1: Ghost
• Perk 2: Gung-Ho
• Perk 3: Double Time
• Perk 4: Dexterity
• Lethal: Thermo Grenade
• Tactical: Concussion
• Field Upgrade: Trophy System
