The best KSV set in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6

Published:

The KSV is a truly terrifying weapon in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, as it is something of a cross between an assault rifle and a submachine gun. With the right attachments, it can specialize in both without losing its core identity of being a solid jack-of-all-trades.

KSV is not unlocked at the beginning of the game and requires reaching it level 7 to access it. Properly configured with the KSV, it will allow it to attack enemies at all but the furthest ranges. Out of the box it is a mighty weapon, but proper customization makes it powerful in the hands of an aggressor.
