Attachment Loadouts

Best Attachments for Close to Mid-Range

The attachments for the GVT 45-70 prioritizes the expansion of the weapon's default firepower while stabilizing its rather rough handling when firing between shots. At close range, opt out of aiming down the sights and instead fire from the hip, which the LS-1 underbarrel attachment will help with. Firing at enemies from mid-range can become much more effective with a stabilizer, hence the attachment of the Rattlesnake Light Grip. You can swap the K8 Holo and the 8R Holo with each other if one feels much easier to use at either range.

Best Attachments for Long Range

The GVT 45-70 has an impressive range at default settings already, and so the attachments to go along with making it an even more deadlier weapon at long-range is focused on stabilizing the weapon in order to give players more comfort when aiming at enemies, particularly running ones. The Maul Hybrid offers a nice zoom when aiming down the sight, and with the Tactical Compensator and the LWG Grip attached, will help to make aiming and firing at the same time an easier task than normal.

It is also a hybrid sight, allowing players to swap between its red dot sight and its magnified 3x scope on the fly, and all without crippling reductions to the weapon's handling compared to other sights with higher magnification such as the M11 6x.

Best Specialist for GVT 45-70

The GVT 45-70 is an effective Shotgun that is most effective during close-range encounters in confined spaces. This makes the weapon great for Specialists with defensive traits that can turn the tables as a playstyle.

Specialist	Strengths
Paik	EMG-X Scanner Specialty allows Paik to scan for enemy positions through walls – this gives her time to maneuver and flank for up-close shots with the GVT 45-70.
Boris	Can deploy SG-36 Sentry System as a defensive means equipment to keep away or provide fire support against enemies at distances exceeding the GVT 45-70's range.
Dozer	SOB-8 Ballistic Shield allows Dozer to come close to enemies before inflicting close-ranged blasts. Blast Resistant Trait guarantees strong survival odds when enemies try to inflict explosive damage, allowing for more opportunities for Dozer to attack close with the GVT 45-70.
