The best SVD sniper build in Black Ops 6 is extremely annoying - if you’re on the receiving end of the bullets, that is. As long as you know how to handle a sniper rifle, the Call of Duty SVD loadout is absolutely worth trying. Although the SVD is already one of thebest Black Ops 6 gunsavailable, keep in mind that it needs the right attachments to become one of the best builds. Choose a proper sidearm and matching perks, and your SVD build may become better than the popularC9 loadout.Without further ado, here’s everything you need to get the best SVD loadout in Black Ops 6.Best SVD loadout in Black Ops 6(Image credit: Activision)Recommended SVD attachments:Muzzle: Muzzle BreakBarrel: Long BarrelMagazine: Fast Mag IIComb: Quickdraw RiserStock: Heavy StockBlack Ops 6 loadoutsBest Black Ops 6 Jackal loadoutBest Black Ops 6 Ames 85 loadoutBest Black Ops 6 XM4 loadoutThis best SVD build for Black Ops 6 focuses on boosting firepower, handling and accuracy of this sniper rifle. Extending range is an important part of this loadout but being able to quickly aim down sights is also a must. The Quickdraw Riser takes care of the latter, while adding in a Long Barrel will increase the Damage Range. The SVD also excels at landing fast follow up shots if you miss, so Flinch Resistance has been added via the Heavy Stock.The Muzzle Break is a key aspect of this SVD build, increasing the Kick Reset Speed and the First Shot Recoil Control. This really makes a difference when firing that second shot. And, finally, I use the Fast Mag II attachment. This drastically speeds up ADS, meaning you can sprint around to find an enemy before quickly lining up and taking your shot.Best SVD class in Black Ops 6(Image credit: Activision)Secondary: Marine SPMelee: KnifeTacticalGear: FlashbangLethalGear: SemtexFieldUpgrade: Assault PackPerks: Ghost, Forward Intel, VigilanceSpeciality: ReconTo round out my best SVD loadout, you’ll want the Marine SP shotgun, so use the Overkill Wildcard to bring it along. This weapon is an absolute beast and can be used to clear buildings on your way to the next sniping position. Or, if you’re unexpectedly flanked and rushed, the Marine SP is great to fight back - just make sure to add the Balanced Stock and the Reinforced Barrel once you’ve unlocked them.For Gear, go with the Flashband and Semtex. The Assault Pack is a good Field Upgrade to bring along, though the Neurogas Mines can be a good way to cover your back in case of a sneaky ambush.In terms of Perks, go with Ghost, Forward Intel and Vigilance. This will activate the Recon Speciality and allows you to see enemies through walls for a short time after spawning in, and adds a HUD edge indicator to your map when an enemy is out of view. As we mentioned previously, the Wildcard should be Overkill, allowing you to bring in the shotgun. If you’d rather focus on the sniper rifle, then take in a pistol, and select the Perk Greed Wildcard. You can then pick Ninja, which will allow you to move much more quietly.We’ve also got everything we know aboutBlack Ops 6 Zombiesif you fancy a little co-op action online when BO6 arrives.© GamesRadar+.
