The best sniper rifle in Black Ops 7 deserves a top loadout.
The VS Recon is the first sniper rifle that you'll have unlocked in Call of Duty: Black Ops 7. This is terrific news for any sniper fans in multiplayer, as the VS Recon is the only bolt-action option in the entire weapon class at launch. To make sure you're getting the most out of the VS Recon, though, you'll want to ensure you're using the best loadout for it in Black Ops 7.
Below, you can see the strongest loadout of attachments for the VS Recon in Black Ops 7 multiplayer.
Best loadout for the VS Recon in Black Ops 7
The VS Recon is easily the strongest sniper rifle in Black Ops 7 right out of the gate. It has tremendous handling, one-shot kill potential, and behaves just like the DSR-50 from Black Ops 2. However, you'll still want to equip some specific attachments on the loadout to give you the biggest advantage when sniping in multiplayer.
Here's our recommended loadout for the VS Recon:
- Barrel: 21" Engage-R Barrel
- Underbarrel: MFS R-Stop Handguard (Prestige Attachment)
- Magazine: Dashline Speed Mag
- Rear Grip: Kinesis Grip
- Stock: Outpost Raider Pad
Loadout Build Code: R01-6ZU6M-SH11

The main goal of this loadout for the VS Recon is to improve its overall mobility. It already has nearly maxed out damage, so you want to increase its quickscoping potential with most of the attachments. However, we have decided to use its Prestige Attachment, the MFS R-Stop Handguard, due to how strong it is across the board. If you don't have this attachment unlocked, then use one of the other underbarrels, such as the Stetig-C Handguard.
One of the other aspects of the loadout is using a smaller magazine to increase its recoil. While this might hinder your ability to go on quicker killstreaks, you'll see a noticeable improvement in mobility.
