Most optimal Delta Force SV-98 build

To optimally leverage the sniper's potential, you must customize it with the right attachments, as discussed below.

• Muzzle: Resonant Sniper Rifle Suppressor
• Barrel: SV-98 Sublime Ultra-Long Barrel
• Killflash: Honeycomb Killflash
• Optic: Insight 6/12 Sniper Scope
• Left Rail: PERST-7 Blue Laser-Light Combo
• Upper Rail: DD Python Handguard Panel

This build significantly increases the weapon's effective range, simplifying long-range battles. The muzzle velocity, which is 720 m/s in the base version, improves to 1152 m/s with the suggested attachments, resulting in a notable performance boost. Additionally, the build enhances weapon control, reducing gunkick for better precision. However, the handling stat is adversely affected, but this drawback is negligible given its focus on long-range combat.

The attachments required for this build must be unlocked by leveling up the weapon, which can be achieved by playing a few matches with it. Alternatively, you can use EXP Tokens to instantly upgrade the weapon.

How do these attachments affect the SV-98?

This section explains how each attachment enhances the sniper's performance, helping you craft the best loadout for optimal results.

The Resonant Sniper Rifle Suppressor significantly boosts both range and muzzle velocity, while also muffling your shots to reduce mini-map exposure when firing.

The SV-98 Sublime Ultra-Long Barrel further enhances the range and muzzle velocity, providing greater control and stability, ensuring the weapon remains steady with each shot, which improves long-range effectiveness.

The Honeycomb Killflash attachment reduces glint visibility, which is especially useful when using higher magnification scopes. Without it, the reflective shine from the scope can alert enemies from a distance, but the Killflash minimizes this glint, making it harder for them to spot you.

The Insight 6/12 Sniper Scope offers two magnification options — 6x and 12x — giving you greater flexibility and clearer sightlines across the map. It also features active trajectory calculation, providing valuable information about wind speed and the distance to your target.

The PERST-7 Blue Laser-Light Combo enhances handling and accuracy, compensating for the slight trade-offs in these areas from the other attachments.

Finally, the DD Python Handguard Panel further boosts handling, completing the build for improved performance.
