The Best KSV Loadout In Black Ops 6

Submachine guns are incredibly powerful within their optimal range in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, and the KSV has the fortune of being a four-shot kill to any part of the body, putting it squarely in the upper-mid tier of SMGs in the game. That power only grows when you give it the best attachments and loadout possible, making it capable of some absurd damage.

Make the Tanto the ultimate SMG with these Gunsmith builds.

The best KSV loadout has a few things going for it, regardless of whether you have five or eight attachments. The equipment and perks you use will vary somewhat based on your tastes, but the core will be the same.

Best Attachments

An eight attachment KSV SMG build in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6.

The right attachments can improve the performance of any weapon in Black Ops 6, and the KSV is no exception. It’s incredibly strong without them, but suffers from an SMG’s main weakness: range.

The build presented here aims to improve the KSV’s range and lethality up close without additional complications. As such, we’ll be using the Gunfighter Wildcard to get eight attachments in total.

Attachment	Slot	Description
Kepler Microflex	Optic	This optic gives one of the cleanest sight pictures available in Black Ops 6 without its edges occluding much into your vision.
Muzzle Brake	Muzzle	The Muzzle Brake outshines its competition by improving the KSV’s ability to stick to a target at the beginning of a spray. It trades flat recoil reduction for first-shot controllability.
Reinforced Barrel	Barrel	The KSV gets tons of value out of both increasing its range and bullet velocity, and the Reinforced Barrel provides a good dose of both.
Precision Foregrip	Underbarrel	Accounting for vertical recoil is easy enough. Horizontal recoil can cause problems, and the Precision Foregrip improves both it and the KSV’s idle sway amount.
Extended Mag 1	Magazine	With a fire rate of 800 rpm, the KSV can put a lot of shots downrange quickly, and you’ll feel the effects of ten extra bullets with the Extended Mag 1.
CQB Grip	Rear Grip	Sliding is a huge part of the Omnimovement system in Black Ops 6, and the CQB grip allows the KSV to ready faster from slides, dives, and sprinting, all in one.
No Stock	Stock	If you ever wanted extra movement speed on your SMGs, the No Stock attachment provides it for standard movement, strafing, and shooting from the hip.
Rapid Fire	Fire Mods	Rapid Fire on the KSV only adds 57 extra rounds per minute, but that increase can determine who wins a gunfight.

If you want to use a different Wildcard than Gunfighter, feel free to remove the optic, underbarrel, and stock attachments.

Best Class Loadout

A Gunfighter Strategist KSV SMG build in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6.

The KSV, like all SMGs, is about speed and efficiency, so our class loadout should be too.

Slot	Equipped Item	Description
Primary	KSV	The KSV is our weapon of choice for this loadout.
Secondary	Pistol of choice	Pistols are strong across the board in Black Ops 6, so use whichever one you like most.
Melee	Weapon of choice	The Knife is functionally better than the baseball bat, but the bat’s more amusing, so which you use is up to you.
Tactical	Stim Shot	Even when using the Enforcer Specialty, having a free full heal on hand between fights can be incredibly valuable.
Lethal	Semtex or Frag	The Semtex and Frag grenades serve the same purpose in different ways. The Semtex gives you a consistent detonation time and location, but you can throw the frag further and cook it to explode exactly where you want.
Field Upgrade	Assault Pack	Unlike in previous games, the Scavenger perk is not a must-equip perk, or nearly so. Instead, having an Assault Pack handy will let you quickly restock, and there are teammates nearby who can also benefit.
Perk 1	Flak Jacket, Tac Mask, or Dexterity	The first perk slot is chock-full of fantastic choices, but Flak Jacket and Tac Mask are so good they’re hard to give up. If you want an Enforcer loadout, it’s hard to beat Dexterity’s improved weapon performance while moving.
Perk 2	Dispatcher or Assassin	For Strategists, Dispatcher is a no-brainer pick for the second slot, as it reduces the cost of all non-lethal scorestreaks. Assassin is the better of the Enforcer options, as it pinpoints high-value targets on the minimap and rewards you for killing them.
Perk 3	Quartermaster, Double Time, or Bankroll	Quartermaster is fantastic as it reduces the Stim Shot’s cooldown by 50% and puts your lethal equipment on a cooldown of its own, ensuring you consistently have access to it. Double Time extends your Tac Sprint, and Bankroll gives you a free 150 score every life.
Wildcare	Gunfighter, Perk Greed, or Tactical Expert	The fact Gunfighter enables eight weapon attachments is tough to give up, but with Perk Greed’s fourth perk option and Tactical Expert giving you three total Stim Shots, which one you choose is ultimately up to preference.

Remember that the KSV loadout presented here is one of the best in the game, but far from the only one. If you have a setup that works for you, or you find that ours doesn’t quite gel with your playstyle, don’t hesitate to experiment. There aren’t all those attachment and equipment choices for nothing.
