Call Of Duty: Black Ops 6

The KSV in Call of Duty Black Ops 6 is an SMG made for players who can fire fast and well without much prep time. Its fast fire rate and noticeable recoil make it feel more like a close-quarters assault rifle. The KSV requires a specific build to maximize its effectiveness. It’s a good idea to go for attachments that help tame its recoil and boost its accuracy at closer ranges while sacrificing some control at further distances.

While it can be challenging to wield effectively, the KSV is very rewarding in closed-in maps like Nuketown in Black Ops 6. It’s a weapon that can be incredibly satisfying when you’ve mastered its use and are using the right loadout. The KSV feels like a more aggressive SMG than other weapons, but it’s worth learning how to use it. This is your close-up kind of weapon; don’t try to make it work for long ranges.

Best Attachments For Close-Range KSV

These Change Everything

The KSV is a weapon you use quickly in Call of Duty Black Ops 6 to take down enemies before they can set up their shots. It fires incredibly fast since it’s an SMG, and if you want this to be focused on taking out close-up enemies, you need to focus your attachments to it. While many will use the same attachments you would use for the best Tanto .22 build, that’s a mistake. This is a close-range type of weapon that can be very efficient if you use attachments that improve that aspect.

It can be tempting, but do not put a long barrel on the KSV. If you want a longer-range weapon, it’s wiser to go for the Tanto instead. However, add an Extended Mag I if you’re set on a long barrel for the KSV. It’s clear that you want to add an extended barrel for longer-range shots, and doing that with this weapon is hard. The Extended Barrel I will make up for that difficulty for you because you will have more ammo to use. However, it’s better to stick to the loadout above for close-range battles.

Best Perks For Close-Range KSV

To Complement Your Loadout

The KSV in Call of Duty Black Ops 6 is not for anyone who plays defensively or tries to move slowly. This is for players who can overwhelm enemies and get the drop on them to take them out, and that’s why perks like Assassin work so well. You’re basically being told where an enemy is (as long as they have a kill streak), making it easier to sneak up on them.

• Assassin: Marks enemies who have killstreaks and rewards you with extra points when you kill them.
• Dexterity: Reduces weapon sway and fall damage while performing acrobatic maneuvers.
• Double Time: Significantly extends the duration of your sprint.
• Enforcer: Killing enemies temporarily boosts your movement speed and health regeneration.

Assassin seems silly to have on here until you notice how often it shows you where enemies are you didn’t see before.

While you would want to replace the perks above, you shouldn’t. Dexterity lets you get out of bad situations by just jumping off roofs, double time lets you move faster, and Enforcer gives you boosts. It’s the perfect combination for someone actively moving around the map, shooting down enemies quickly. However, if you prefer to switch any perks out, make sure to keep Double Time, as it’s beneficial when you’re trying to reload and need to escape fast.

Best Equipment For Close-Range KSV

Never Hurts To Have Backup

The best equipment to take for a Close-Range KSV is the Stim Shot and Impact Grenade in Call of Duty Black Ops 6. Stim Shot is a recommendation everyone should get because it feels overpowered. The ability to undo a bunch of damage on top of being able to sprint again is too powerful. So never replace a Stim Shot if you can help it; it’s always going to come in handy, and there’s always going to be someone who tries to end you. Look at the video below for Skridley using the loadout well on YouTube.

The Impact Grenade is fantastic because it is an excellent way to react quickly to any situation. The frag and sticky grades take time to explode, and you don’t have that kind of time with a build like this. Instead, if you want to blow up that area quickly, it’s essential to use the Impact Grenade instead of other throwables in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6.
