Rival-9 Best Loadout and Build

Rival-9 Attachment Setup

This build for the Rival-9 centers around enhancing its close-range prowess, letting you kill enemies much quicker than before by increasing its mobility and reducing its recoil.

The DR-6 Handstop and Rival-38E Fire Starter Barrel will buff up your movement speed, as well as letting you aim down your sights quicker after sprinting. This allows you to melt your opponents that you bump into in almost an instant.

To further overpower this beast of an SMG, you'll also want to chip in the Purifier Muzzle Brake S and Purifier Muzzle Brake S as it lessens the kick of the weapon when emptying a whole clip.

Rival-9 Loadout Setup

For the Rival-9 class setup, the Scavenger Gloves will come in handy so you can restock your ammo while you're out on the field since you'll often run out of bullets with this SMG.

While running around, you can attempt to slide-cancel with the Tactical Pads to evade the initial shots of your enemy and immediately fire back at them.

Since you'll be on a run-and-gun playstyle, the Tac Mask reduces the effect of stuns and flashes so you won't lose your groove when playing aggressively.
