The best AS VAL in Black Ops 6: class configuration, perks, perks

Based on early impressions, the XM4 and AK-74 seem to be the best assault rifles in Black Ops 6, but the AS VAL stands out from the competition with its impressive damage profile.

Black Ops 6 AR they usually fit one of two roles. For example, the XM4 is a versatile model that doesn’t necessarily have one standout feature, but does everything well. On the other hand, some players prefer weapons like the AK-74 because they deal massive damage at the expense of recoil control.

The AS VAL matches the similar AK-74 model, but is even more extreme, as it takes out enemies faster than any other AR, but also has the worst recoil. The high-risk, high-reward nature of this weapon makes it an attractive option, but only in the right hands.

Let’s get straight to which attachments make AS VAL easier to control.

Best Black Ops 6 AS VAL gear

Dexerto

• Barrel: Damped, reinforced barrel
• Underbarrel: Vertical front grip
• Warehouse: Extended magazine II
• Underbarrel: Ergonomic grip
• Fire Mods: Recoil springs

The two main weaknesses of the AS VAL are the difficult-to-control recoil and small magazine capacity. Our kit focuses on solving these problems. For starters Vertical handle significantly improves horizontal recoil, however Recoil springs help with first shot recoil and vertical recoil.

Next, Damped, reinforced barrel increases AR damage range and bullet speed. Some players prefer the Reinforced Gain-Twist Barrel because it provides a better bullet velocity boost, but it is more cost-effective to add a few more meters to the maximum damage range.

It’s hard to find an attachment better than that Ergonomic grip as it provides huge bonuses to sliding into fire, diving into fire, and aiming down at aim speed.

To complete our equipment, every AS VAL equipment should have Extended magazine II equipped because it increases magazine capacity from 20 to 40 at the expense of reload speed, aiming speed, and sprint-to-fire speed.

You never want to lose mobility, but 20 rounds is not enough. Therefore, this attachment is a necessary evil.

• Perk 1: Skill
• Perk 2: Abstract
• Perk 3: Double time
• Greed for benefits: Gung Ho
• Specialty: Executor
• Mortal: Frag
• Tactical: Flash
• Field update: Executor

Most Black Ops 6 multiplayer maps are small or medium-sized, so our perks and perks are tailored to the needs of fast and aggressive players.

Double time is a must have in every kit as it significantly increases tactical sprint time. This skill will save you many times when you try to escape from a shooting or outmaneuver your opponent.

In a similar way, Gung Ho allows you to move faster when reloading or using equipment, and reload while tactical sprinting.

Abstract makes it easier to always know where the opposition is because it reveals the enemy’s tracks.

Because we have an ergonomic grip that improves the speed of gliding to shoot, diving to shoot and aiming down, Skill this is a must-use feature because it limits the movement of the weapon while sliding or diving.

Pros and cons of AS VAL
