The best 3-line rifle loadout in Call of Duty: Vanguard

While it may be too early to tell, the 3-Line Rifle is arguably the best sniper in Call of Duty: Vanguard. Even without accessories, the weapon is more likely to get one-hit kills than its counterparts and is fairly easy to control. However, once the 3-line rifle receives the Gunsmith treatment, the weapon has the potential to take you to Team MVP more often than not. So, here are our tips on how to get the most out of Vanguard's largest damage dealer.

For the best 3-line shotgun loadout ever, you'll put some accessories focused on increasing its target pretty slow to reduce sight time. Additionally, the following combination will provide quick reload, jerk resistance, and best of all, an even greater chance of one-hit kills. Here is what you will need.

• Muzzle: MX silencer
• barrel: 270 mm VOICE rifle
• under the barrel: Mark VI Skeletal
• Magazine: .30-06 20 round magazines
• Type of ammunition: incendiary
• Action: Zac Custom MZ
• Rear handle: Leather handle
• competence: Silent focus
• kit: Deep breath
• Benefits: Ghost, Forward Intel e Overkill
• Lethal: Throwing a knife
• Tactical: S-Mina 44

Firstly, yes, we're confident enough to recommend a silencer on your 3-line shotgun. Despite taking some of the speed off your ADS, the Zac Custom MZ, Mark VI Skeletal and Leather Grip all counteract this effect and ultimately boost the pace of the ADS to a level worthy of a quick scope. However, if you decide to equip a scope other than the default option, you may see that the ADS takes longer than expected

In terms of damage and range, the shotgun is second to none, as Mags .30-06 rounds and incendiary rounds combine to increase the power of each shot by more than 39 percent. Since you'll want to be completely unfamiliar on the minimap, the perks of Ghost, Forward Intel, and Overkill together will make you see nearby enemies first and have an additional weapon (preferably an SMG) to finish them off.

Finally, free to choose any lethal and tactical item that suits your play style. However, the S-Mine 44 is highly recommended for snipers looking to block an entrance near their camp point.
