The VST is an exceptional SMG in Black Ops 7, but what's the best loadout for it in multiplayer?
If the new VST submachine gun looks a little familiar to you, then you might have played Black Ops 2 way back in 2012. The Season 3 weapon is very close to the MP7 from that game, and it even shares the same prowess it had. However, if you want to get the absolute most out of the VST in Black Ops 7, then you’ll need the best loadout for the new SMG.
Below, you can see the strongest loadout of attachments for the VST in Black Ops 7 multiplayer.
Best loadout for the VST in Black Ops 7
The VST is a compact, fast-firing SMG with loads of mobility and moderate damage. Where you’ll notice some shortcomings with the weapon is in the recoil control department, as the gun has some kick when firing. After you unlock the VST, though, you can take care of all that recoil and make it one of the better SMGs in Black Ops 7 with the right attachments.
Here’s our recommended loadout for the VST:
- Muzzle: Hawker Series 45
- Underbarrel: Lateral Precision Grip
- Stock: VAS Blench Pad
- Laser: EMT3 Agile Laser
- Fire Mods: Buffer Spring
Loadout Build Code: S12-BIA3J-FLH51

Clearly, we’ve prioritized one specific area with this loadout, which is recoil control. The VST has a ton of kick by default, so we need to try to reduce that in any way possible with our attachments. While the VST will still have some recoil even with these attachments, it’s much easier to manage.
If you want to swap over to Warzone in Season 3, then make sure to also take a look at our best loadout guide for the VST in battle royale.
