Best SVT-40 gear in Call of Duty: Vanguard

Call of Duty: Vanguard players looking for a dominant marksman rifle like Warzone's Kar98k should look no further than the SVT-40. As many know by now, basic shotguns of any type are frustrating to level up, but this weapon is one of the few that is worth paying for. When fully leveled, the SVT-40 can be a one- to two-shot machine with fast aiming time and plenty of ammo. Here is the loadout that will help you witness it in person.

As a premise, this class is quite unique compared to the others, as it is successful at any distance and is compatible with almost any style of play. So whether you want to run and shoot or just stand behind at a high point and wait for the enemies, this setup will definitely work in your favor. Here are all the attachments needed to make it happen.

• Muzzle: Stabilizer F8
• under the barrel: Heavy handle
• barrel: Kovalevskaya 800mm B03
• Magazine: 6.5 Sakura 15 round
• Type of ammunition: stretched
• optics: STV-40 PU Scope 3-6x
• Rear handle: Fabric handle
• Action: Padded crown
• competence: Wrapped up
• kit: Fully loaded
• The best benefits for SVT: Ghost, Forward Intel e Scavenger

As shown below, the biggest contributor to the power of this equipment is the 800mm Kovalevskaya barrel. This adds over 15 percent more damage to the SVT-40 and reduces recoil by nearly 50 percent. Better yet, any blow to the chest or above will be a one-hit kill. As one of the first accessories you will unlock, equip it as soon as possible to level up faster.

Another important attachment that you may have to wait a while to get is the 6.5 Sakura 15 Round. This accelerates the rate of fire by 50 percent and also plays a role in calming the recoil of the gun. Finally, the remaining added pieces, such as Fabric Grip and Crown Padded, should help give you respectable ADS time for close combat.

In terms of optics, honestly, it's best to go with whatever works exclusively for you. We recommend the PU Scope for its ability to switch between 3.0x and 6.0 zoom levels, perfect for most situations. For perks, Scavenger is able to lend you additional ammo from all fallen soldiers on the map, while Forward Intel will tag nearby enemies directly in front of you. However, as Ghost simply clears your position from opponents' radars, more aggressive players may choose to have Ninja, which ultimately results in silent footsteps.

A great secondary weapon to pair this load with is the Top Break. It is a six-shot revolver that is remarkably quick to pass and is Vanguard's most powerful pistol to date. If the weapon is already level 46 for you, we recommend applying the Akimbo skill, giving you double the Top Breaks and double the damage.
