There’s no shortage of awesome assault rifles in Call of Duty, but we think we have a sleeper pick in our best SVA 545 loadout in Warzone.

While the continuous meta dictates that players use an LMG or sniper rifle, the assault rifles on offer from Modern Warfare 3 are also full of potential. We think the SVA 545 is slept on a little bit and have some tips on how to maximize your loadout for success in Urzikstan.

Here’s what we think is the best SVA 545 loadout in Warzone.

While the SVA 545 may lose out to some other MW3 assault rifles, it’s still a favorite of many players, especially those who leveled it up in multiplayer and found themselves trying it out in Urzikstan. And now in Warzone’s season three, players have found that it’s incredibly strong at long range when fired in burst or semi-auto mode.

If you can maintain its recoil, the SVA 545 is a solid gun in BR and it’s only gotten more popular over time, especially now in season three. It’s a good option for Resurgence, too, if you swap out for a smaller optic.

Best SVA 545 build in MW3 Warzone

  • Muzzle: VT-7 Spiritfire Suppressor
  • Barrel: STV Precision Barrel
  • Optic: Corio Eagleseye 2.5x
  • Underbarrel: Bruen Heavy Support Grip
  • Magazine: 45 Round Mag or 60 Round Mag

I like to use a similar set of attachments across several different assault rifles in Warzone, with two of the meta mainstays being the VT-7 Spiritfire Suppressor and Corio Eagleseye 2.5x optic because they excel in dealing damage at range.

This loadout works well as a long-range primary or even a sniper support secondary but can handle its own in a multitude of engagement varieties thanks in large part to the Bruen Heavy Support Grip, which does a masterful job of helping handle the weapon while firing at full auto.

Tip:

This SVA 545 loadout has an effective damage range of 37.5 meters, so keep that in mind when trying to hit enemies that are small on your screen at a distance.

The only swap I may suggest is switching to a 60 Round Mag for the magazine slot since Warzone has a higher time-to-kill than multiplayer and may require extra shots, but that means trading off some Aim Down Sight Speed along with general Mobility.

Best SVA 545 perks and equipment in Warzone

  • Perk Package
    • Perk 1: Double Time
    • Perk 2: Sleight of Hand
    • Perk 3: Tempered
    • Perk 4: Ghost
  • Secondary Weapon: WSP Swarm or Rival-9
  • Lethal: Frag Grenade
  • Tactical: Smoke Grenade

The SVA 545 works well with a standard set of perks that I like to run in Warzone that accentuates a faster playstyle, which can be done quite easily with the SVA 545, even as an assault rifle. Of course, when needing to move quickly across Urzikstan, I always pop a smoke grenade and pull out my SMG of choice (the WSP Swarm right now) before high-tailing it between cover.
