Black Ops 6: Best KSV Loadout and Attachments in Season 1

What's the best KSV loadout in Black Ops 6 and Warzone? What are the best KSV attachments in Black Ops 6 and Warzone? The KSV is one of the best-performing SMGs in the game right now, so it's no wonder you're looking to put together an elite setup to let the gun thrive. In this Black Ops 6 guide, we're going to reveal the best KSV loadout and attachments during Season 1.

Best KSV Loadout and Attachments in Black Ops 6 Season 1

The best KSV loadout and attachments we recommend for Season 1 are as follows:

Muzzle

Suppressor

Barrel

Reinforced Barrel

Underbarrel

Reinforced Foregrip

Magazine

Extended Mag I

Rear Grip

Ergonomic Grip

Particularly on close-quarters maps like the ones you'll encounter in the Face Off mode, the KSV absolutely tears, so the attachments here are mainly designed to manage any recoil when you do need to properly aim. The standard iron sights get the job done, and given the very fast fire rate of the gun, an Extended Mag I ensures you can kill a few enemies without needing to immediately reload.

If you equip Gunfighter as your Wildcard, the KSV becomes even better with 3 more attachments on top of the above:

Optic

Merlin Mini

Stock

Balanced Stock

Fire Mods

Recoil Springs

Now we have the freedom to fill all the attachment slots except for one, we recommend swapping the iron sights for a Merlin Mini in the Optic slot. A small but worthy improvement that makes aiming that little bit easier. Then. the Balanced Stock increases your movement speed across the board and the Recoil Springs make — you guessed it — recoil even less of an issue.

The KSV is one of the earliest SMGs you'll unlock in the levelling process, so you'll have access to it most of the time — even when Prestiging. As for what equipment and Perks to pair it with, here are our suggestions:

Pistol

Grekhova

Melee

Knife

Tactical

Flashbang

Lethal

Semtex

Field Upgrade

Scrambler

Perk 1

Ninja

Perk 2

Dispatcher

Perk 3

Double Time

Given the KSV works best up close and personal, you're going to be wanting to sprint a lot, either behind enemy lines or towards their general position. Double Time lets you get there faster by extending your Tactical Sprint ability, and the Ninja Perk ensures the enemy won't hear you doing it as easily. It's also nice to have a UAV active so you know their positions, and the Dispatcher Perk makes it so you need to earn fewer points to unlock them for use during a match.
