If you want a weapon that can act as an assault rifle and a submachine gun, look no further than our best AS VAL loadout in Black Ops 6.

The AS VAL is a top of the line assault rifle in Call of Duty's latest outing. If you want to give it a try, then we've got our best AS VAL loadout in Black Ops 6 available. It is perfect to increase your XP in any mode, but especially objective ones.

The AR, which can almost act as an SMG, sees improvements to all stat categories with the loadout we've put together. Whether you're farming on Nuketown or hitting the regular Core MP playlist, this AS VAL needs to be on your radar.

How to unlock the AS VAL

The AS VAL is a tricky one to obtain in Black Ops 6. You unlock it at level 55, the very last level before you hit Prestige and start back over. Of course, that locks every weapon and puts you back down to level 1.

So, we highly recommend you use your Permanent Unlock Token earned with each Prestige to keep the AS VAL with you at all times. This allows you to use it, all of your unlocked attachments, and camos from the moment you drop back to Rank 1.

Now, we're at the best loadout for the AS VAL in Black Ops 6. You'll use the standard five attachments for this one to receive increases in every statistical category:

  • Optic: Pinpoint Holoscout
  • Barrel: Suppressed Reinforced Barrel
  • Rear Grip: Ergonomic Grip
  • Stock: No Stock
  • Fire Mods: Recoil Springs

The Pinpoint Holoscout is a wonderful Optic that doesn't take up much space, and it has some great reticles to unlock and choose from. Follow that up with the Suppressed Reinforced Barrel to add some serious damage behind the shots you're sending out.

Next up, go for the Ergonomic Grip, No Stock, and Recoil Springs combo. These all increase your accuracy, mobility, and handling. ADS Speed is buffed, overall movement speed goes up, and both axes of recoil are much easier to control.

Best secondary weapon for the AS VAL

For the secondary weapon, you'll want to go with the Cigma 2B. This loadout is meant to see the AS VAL be the best speedy assault rifle in Black Ops 6. More often than not, you'll either escape to reload or be gunned down after netting a few kills.

Switching to a sidearm won't do you much good, so why not add a little bit of XP on top of the gunning you're doing? Grab this launcher to help take down aerial Scorestreaks like a UAV, or just send a rocket at the enemy to really surprise them.

Lethal and Tactical equipment to use

Every great loadout needs equipment to back it up. For this AS VAL loadout, we've chosen the following:

  • Lethal: Frag
  • Tactical: Flashbang

Nothing beats a good old fashioned Frag Grenade. You can cook it or simply throw it ahead of you to clear where you're going to hit. Put it together with the Flashbang and you can rush into angles or back off opponents by blinding them. Go with whatever Field Upgrade you'd like based on the modes you play.
