The Best LW3A1 Frostline Loadouts In Call Of Duty: Black Ops 6

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 has the weapon diversity we’ve come to expect from a CoD release, and so naturally includes that same weapon class that’s always held in either high reverence or complete disdain: sniper rifles. Whether you enjoy sniper rifles or not, it’s worth understanding how they work best, and the best load-outs that contain them.

The LW3A1 Frostline sniper rifle is the first sniper unlocked out of three total (so far) in the class. As with every sniper rifle, it has the potential to be a massive problem for the enemy, but in the wrong hands, or built poorly, can be a detriment.

LW3A1 Frostline Strengths And Weaknesses

Many of the strengths of the Frostline are strengths that every sniper rifle share: one-shot possibility, even to the body. The ability to completely close down a lane. And flexibility in scopes, allowing you to use it in various ranges.

The Frostline’s Weaknesses

What the Frostline doesn’t have that the other two snipers do is the increased damage potential of the LR 7.62 or the rate of fire of the SVD. The Frostline is somewhat of a middle ground between these two extremes, with a slightly higher fire rate than the LR 7.62, but a bit more damage than the SVD.

LW3A1 Frostline | Marine SP

This loadout is the epitome of all or nothing, but for a player who understands where and when to swap between these weapons and puts themselves in the right positions, this loadout is going to perform exceptionally well. Both of these weapons easily one-shot an enemy in their respective situations. And, each of these weapons is largely ineffective outside their situations.

Map knowledge and game sense are going to be every bit a part of this loadout as any item you equip.

LW3A1 Frostline Gunsmith Build

The Frostline gets to be exactly what it wants to be, here; a sniper rifle capable of winning every medium and long-range engagement that it gets into. These attachments are going to balance each aspect of it a little bit, shaving down the rougher edges of the weapon and making it easier to use in its ideal scenarios.

The rapid-fire mod is going to allow you to shoot almost one shot per second, getting a follow-up shot out much quicker on a miss, or for better multi-kill potential. The decreased sway and the flinch resistance are going to go a long way toward ensuring you miss fewer shots overall, and the commando riser is going to make the sniper a bit more friendly to use.

Marine SP Gunsmith Build

This Marine SP build is, similarly to the Frostline build, going to help the weapon do what it’s already good at, and not try to give it extra capabilities. One of the biggest priorities with a shotgun is getting the sprint-to-fire speed up, followed closely by increasing the lethal range as much as possible.

The Marine SP can be a wildly effective gun with the right build, and this is one of those builds that make it into a beast. Activating tactical stance makes this weapon tremendously accurate, even more so than in ADS (aiming down sights), and the combat stock is going to help you win those more acrobatic gunfights.

The LWA31 Frostline | Marine SP Full Loadout

This loadout is built to support your ability to stick the fight out in close combat when you’ve got your Marine SP in your hands. Your Frostline requires less support because generally, you’re in less immediate danger when using a sniper rifle compared to a shotgun.

The main perk that’s important here is Fast Hands; the ability to swap weapons quickly is even more important when you have two weapons with wildly different ideal engagements. That said, Ghost will help you take enemies by surprise and get that one shot you need off more often, and Bankroll is going to help you reach scorestreaks more consistently.

LW3A1 Frostline | Grekhova

This weapon combination foregoes bringing Overkill, making the Frostline the undisputed star. The Grekhova pistol is full auto and can dispatch enemies extremely quickly in close range, but the multi-kill potential on it is very low, making it a firm secondary.

Primarily, this loadout is for a focused sniper. It’s going to give you maximum freedom to fully build the sniper in the gunsmith with the Wildcard choice, ensuring you get everything you can out of it.

LW3A1 Frostline Gunsmith Build

This Frostline builds further on the last one, adding three more attachments that make it even easier to use.

The addition of the extended mag is going to increase your multi-kill potential without slowing down your ADS speed. While bullet velocity isn’t as important in multiplayer as it is in Warzone, your bullet traveling quicker will still be beneficial. And, the target laser is going to make the weapon easier to manage.

Grekhova Gunsmith Build

The Grekhova is what you’re likely going to pull out when an enemy gets too close for you to comfortably use your sniper rifle. With it being a secondary weapon, the magazine size isn’t going to be great, but for dispatching one or two enemies who’ve gotten too close, it can get the job done.

While the magazine size can be increased with an extended mag, it would hurt the weapons’ mobility. Since the function of the Grekhova in this loadout is as a backup when someone gets in close, the emphasis is on the weapon being fast and controllable, which this gunsmith build excels at.

The LW3A1 Frostline | Grekhova Full Loadout

This loadout is built to fully support a sniper playstyle; it’s not equipped to do anything else, nor is the weaponry. But, it’s going to be very effective for a full-time sniper.

This combination of perks is going to enable the Recon specialty, which is great for everybody, and perfect for snipers, as it reveals all enemy positions for a second when you spawn. Your prox alarms, blast traps, and spring mines are going to let you watch your own back in a variety of ways, letting you know when it might be worth either finding a new position or at least knowing you might have company soon.
