The only semi-automatic sniper rifle inCall of Duty Black Ops 6and one of my all-time favorites, the SVD offers a great compromise by allowing you to shoot continuously while staying lethal no matter your distance from your target.

But as you can guess, unlocking the gun’s true potential as a true one-shot one-kill machine will demand both the right attachments and equipment. Here’s the best SVD Loadout inCall of Duty Black Ops 6.

Best SVD Loadout in Call of Duty Black Ops 6

As the bread and butter for the SVD will lie in quickly going into ADS while keeping your aim steady even after consecutive shots, we will start by adding theMuzzle Braketo lower its recoil/mitigate its kick and theLong Barrelfor a welcome boost in range. As you’re able to see in the image below, we will also add thePrecision Handguardand theRecoil Springsfire mod to further boost the gun’s instability. To finish it up, we will go with theFast Mag IIto guarantee you will be able to switch to ADS in the blink of an eye.

If you want to further boost the weapon’s steadiness or don’t want to take your chances with a smaller magazine, going with either the Target Laser or the Commando Riser in place of the Fast Mag II can work great. To recap, here are the best attachments for the SVD sniper rifle inCOD BO6:

Best Equipment and Perks for the SVD

So that you’re able to ensure you won’t be overwhelmed while on the move or spotted when in the perfect vantage point, we will be focusing on getting a set of three Recon perks to unlock its specialty. This is a must, as the latter will allow you to pinpoint the locations of all enemies after respawning, all while stopping you from leaving skulls after kills. I also consider the Overkill Wildcard a mandatory pick, as having two primary weapons will allow you to have an ace up your sleeve, as well as a gun fitter when the subject is rushing in or out of trouble.

A weapon capable of making quick work of some of the mode’s bosses as well as double as a devastating auto-shotgun once Pack a Punched, the best SVD loadout forCOD BO6 Zombieswill add theLight Stock,Target Laser, andCommando Risercomb to our overall best build. Among the three, the latter’s boost in ADS speed will help make up for the exclusion of the Fast Mag II magazine, as having to reload all the time equals death here.

While any Lethal among the game’s selection can work given their similar effects when inZombies, I recommend using the Stim Shot as your Tactical for its boost in survivability. Field Upgrade-wise, its ability to conceal you from enemy detection makes the Aether Shroud by far the best píck.
