Best SVD Loadout and Build

Best Attachment Loadout

Optic Blandwell 7x Scope
Muzzle Ported Compensator
Barrel Long Barrel
Underbarrel Ranger Handguard
Magazine Fast Mag II
Comb Quickdraw Riser
Stock Balanced Stock
Fire Mods Recoil Springs

The SVD is the best and fastest Sniper Rifle in its class. It performs best using a quickscope build and suffers no bolt-action waiting time like the LR 7.62 and LW3A1 Frostline.

For boosting ADS speed, equip the Quickdraw Riser and Fast Mag II.The weapon already has a consistent one-shot kill potential at close-range so you can drop the extra ammo. For better mobility in and out of ADS, equip both the Balanced Stock and Ranger Handguard.

For better recoil control on tap-firing with the SVD, equip the Ported Compensator and Recoil Springs. Add a Long Barrel to maximize damage range, then top it off with a Blandwell 7x Scope or any other scope that reduces ADS time.

Perk Loadout
Ghost Icon Ghost Tracker Icon Tracker Vigilance Icon Vigilance
Wild Card Gunfighter
Specialty Recon
Lethal Impact Grenade
Tactical Stim Shot
Field Upgrade War Cry

A Recon specialist build suited for the SVD for better situational awareness with a quickscope playstyle. The SVD is fast enough to not require an Enforcer build and you will benefit the most from the intel and protection offered by Recon perks at close quarters.

The Impact Grenade is a good for needing to clear enemy groups fast and the Semtex for quick heals and tactical sprint refreshes. War Cry is the best for fast movement speed and health regen, not only for yourself, but also for your team.

How to Unlock SVD

Reach Account Level 25

The SVD is unlocked by reaching Account Level 25. Use Double XP Tokens or participate in Double XP Events to quickly level up your account to level 25.
