Attachment Loadouts

Best Attachments for Close to Mid-Range

The SVK is a high-power marksman rifle that deals high damage across all ranges. In close-range combat, using the 8R Holo is a sight that allows you to have quick aim and enough zoom to hit precise shots. Using a Tactical Compensator is also a must if you want to lessen your recoil in close-range. For mid-range, using the Bravo 3x allows you to take out enemies from a good distance, while keeping yourself mobile. The Extended Barrel gives you even more range, so combining this with the Bravo 3x is the ideal loadout.

Best Attachments for Long Range

At long-range, the M11 6x is the best sight for very distant targets. This combined with the Champion Muzzle Brake turns your gun into one of the best long-range weapons in the game, giving you superior range and damage output compared to other marksman weapons.

Best Specialists for SVK

Although SVK is a marksman weapon, it plays more like a Sniper Weapon. Specialists that are suited for long-range fights will do pair well with the SVK.

Specialist	Strengths
Angel	He can create a temporary wall as cover using his Loadout Crate and also have unlimited supplies.
Mackay	He can quickly go to high ground using his Grappling Hook to snipe targets with a better view.
Irish	He can make a small fortress to an area using his Fortification System and shoot from there.
