With the best Black Ops 6 KSV loadout, you can easily realize an incredibly mobile playstyle without sacrificing damage or accuracy. This Call of Duty KSV build is especially handy if you’re looking to master the Omnimovement system, thus making it one of the best Black Ops 6 SMGs as well as one of the best BO6 loadouts overall. That said, even the overpowered KSV weapon won’t take you into the highest rankings without a proper setup.

This Black Ops 6 KSV build will show you how to make this awesome weapon even faster, gain amazing accuracy, suffer less recoil, and more.

  • Muzzle: Muzzle Break
  • Barrel: Long Barrel
  • Underbarrel: Vertical Foregrip
  • Magazine: Flip Mag
  • Rear Grip: Quickdraw Grip
  • Stock: Infiltrator
  • Laser: Strelok Laster
  • Fire Mods: Soviet Overpressured

This best KSV build for Black Ops 6 focuses on boosting the accuracy and handling of the weapon, primarily by boosting the Damage Range using the Long Barrel, and the ADS speed using the Quickdraw Grip.

The Flip Mag combines two magazines to increase reload speed, while the Strelok Laser tightens bullet spread during the transition between hipfire and aiming down sights. The 9x39mm Soviet Overpressured rounds increase Bullet Velocity, meaning your shots land even faster. The Muzzle Brake is an interesting addition to the KSV, as it stabilizes first shot recoil control, and the kick reset speed. While this may not sound like much on paper, it can really make the difference in how many of your shots land when hipfiring.

  • Secondary:Grekhova
  • Melee: Knife
  • Tactical Gear: Stim Shot
  • Lethal Gear: Semtex
  • Field Upgrade: Morphine Injector
  • Perks: Gung-Ho, Assassin, Double Time
  • Speciality: Enforcer 
  • Wildcard: Gunfighter

This best KSV loadout is rounded out by the Grekhova pistol. This is a full auto pistol that can be modified to be extremely accurate in hipfire by adding the Weighted Stock. Here’s the Grkhova attachments to aim for:

  • Muzzle: Compensator
  • Barrel: Long Barrel
  • Magazine: Extended Mag I
  • Rear Grip: Assault Grip
  • Stock: Weighted Stock

The Stim Shot is essential, giving you healing after being hit, and allowing you to jump back in and take your enemy unaware. The Semtex is particularly deadly in Black Ops 6, and the Morphine Injector gives you last stand, and another shot at your enemies before you die.

In terms of Perks, go with Gung-Ho, Assassin and Double Time. This will unlock the Enforcer Speciality, which grants a temporary buff to movement speed and health regen rate. The Gunfighter really amps up this build, allowing you to outfit the KSV with eight attachments.In terms of Scorestreaks, we recommend the Scout Pulse, and the UAV. These will give you more info on the location of the enemy team. For your third Scorestreak, consider trying out the Napalm Strike, especially on smaller maps like Babylon.
