Best KSV loadout attachments in Black Ops 6
- Muzzle: Suppressor
- Barrel: Long Barrel
- Rear Grip: Quickdraw Grip
- Stock: Infiltrator Stock
- Magazine: Flip Mag
Starting with the Suppressor, this attachment not only suppresses the firing sounds but also hides you from the mini-map. It unlocks at level 2 which is very easy to do.
Long Barrel increases the firepower of the SMG by increasing the damage range. It unlocks when the KSV reaches level 3 and helps deal with more damage in medium-range combat. Right after this one, the Quickdraw Grip will unlock at level 6, attach it immediately. This attachment significantly increases the Aim Down Sight speed of the gun and helps you aim faster, enhancing its handling.
The Infiltrator Stock unlocks at level 8 and will improve your mobility by enhancing the Aim Walking Movement Speed. Lastly, get the Flip Mag after reaching weapon level 17 to improve the reload speed of the KSV.

Best Perks, Wildcard & Equipment for KSV
- Perk 1: Ghost
- Perk 2: Tracker
- Perk 3: Cold-Blooded
- Perk 4: Gung-Ho
- Wildcard: Perk Greed
- Lethal: Semtex
- Tactical: Stim Shot
- Field Upgrade: Tactical Insertion
Ghost leaves you undetected by Scout Pulse or UAV and Tracker allows you to see enemy footsteps. Use Cold-Blooded as the third Perk to remain undetected under thermal optics. These perks will activate Recon – the ability to see enemies through walls briefly.
Use the fourth Perk slot to equip Gung-Ho. This will increase Sprinting speeds while reloading or using Equipment. Semtex will add more firepower to the loadout while Stim Shot will help you heal up quickly. For the Field Upgrade, use the Tactical Insertion for custom spawn points in the map.
Best Secondary for KSV
The ideal secondary weapon options for the KSV are Stryder .22 and GS45.
