Sniper rifles in Black Ops 6 are quite the hassle. If you’ve got the right build equipped, however, they become troublesome for the enemy team very soon. An excellent example here is the LW3A1, the first Sniper Rifle players unlock in the game.

If you’re wondering about the perfect attachments for this weapon that could complement your sniping skills significantly, read on to learn more.

Best LW3A1 Loadout in Black Ops 6

Black Ops 6 LW3A1 build

It’s no secret that players can equip five attachments for any load-out they want to build in Black Ops 6. For the LW3A1, however, you’ll need a few extra attachments. To equip those, you’ll first have to activate the Gunfighter Wildcard which grants you 3 extra attachments for your primary weapon.

With that equipped, let’s dive into this gun’s build:

  • Muzzle: Muzzle Brake
  • Barrel: Reinforced Barrel
  • Stock Pad: Precision Pad
  • Magazine: Extended Mag 1
  • Comb: Quickdraw Riser
  • Stock: Heavy Stock
  • Laser: Sterlok Laser
  • Fire Mods: Rapid Fire

Details of the LW3A1 Build

While the class we’ve built is quite heavy on the attachments, let’s see if it actually performs. Below is a breakdown of each attachment.

The snipers in Black Ops 6 are quite bouncy. You cannot control them easily. In that case, you need attachments that encourage accuracy. Muzzle Brake, the first attachment in our build, is an excellent choice here. Precision Pad is another attachment that improves accuracy. In particular, the Horizontal Recoil, which sees a 20% increase.

Another attachment that increases the accuracy of LW3A1 is the Strelok Laser.

While Quick scoping and accuracy are crucial factors in a sniper, so is the fire rate. To encourage a greater fire rate for the LW3A1, the Reinforced Barrel is a great option. For an enhanced magazine, we’ve got the Extended Mag 1. Although this attachment introduces more rounds for your Sniper, it comes at the expense of a decreased Reload Quickness.

If you’re a sniper, you already know the importance of quick scoping. To enhance that, we’ve got the Quickdraw Riser in the Comb category. In particular, it decreases the ADS by 13%. However, there’s a detriment we see in the accuracy. To compensate for that, however, Heavy Stock is an ideal option. The last attachment to equip here is the Rapid Fire, available in the Fire Mods category.

As the name suggests, the attachment fundamentally improves the fire rate of your Sniper Rifle. However, it comes at the cost of a decreased Bullet Velocity and Accuracy.

The LW3A1: A Monster Sniper Rifle

With all the attachment slots equipped except the optic, here are the overall stats of the LW3A1 Sniper Rifle:

  • Fire Rate: 28% increase.
  • Bullet Velocity: 6% decrease.
  • Recoil Gun Kick: 25% decrease.
  • Horizontal Gun Kick: 4% increase.
  • Reload Quickness: 13% decrease.
  • Aim Down Sight Speed: 13% increase.
  • Vertical Recoil Control: 25% decrease.
  • Empty Reload Quickness: 7% decrease.
