The AS VAL has always been a fan-favorite in Call of Duty, and for good reason! This assault rifle, often praised for its high fire rate and built-in suppressor, can be an absolute beast in the right hands. But like any weapon, it truly shines with the perfect GUNSMITH AS VAL THE FULL CLASS SETUP. I've spent countless hours experimenting, and I'm excited to share what I believe is the most effective AS VAL loadout to help you dominate your matches. First off, let's talk about why the AS VAL is so unique. Its integrated suppressor means you don't have to waste an attachment slot on a muzzle, freeing up space for other crucial improvements. This also means you stay off the radar, which is a massive advantage for aggressive playstyles. However, its main drawback is typically its small magazine size and potentially noticeable recoil, especially at range. Our class setup aims to mitigate these weaknesses while amplifying its strengths. Here's my personal go-to AS VAL class setup: Barrel: VLK 200mm Osa – This barrel is a game-changer. It significantly improves damage range and bullet velocity, making the AS VAL more viable beyond close-quarters. It also helps with recoil control. Laser: Tac Laser – For that crucial ADS speed and aiming stability. You'll be snapping onto targets much faster, which is essential for winning those split-second gunfights. Optic: G.I. Mini Reflex – A clean, low-profile optic that doesn't obstruct your view. Feel free to swap this for your preferred close-range optic, but I find this one offers the perfect balance. Underbarrel: Merc Foregrip – This is key for recoil control and hip-fire accuracy. The AS VAL can kick a bit, and the Merc Foregrip helps keep those shots on target, especially when pushing objectives. Ammunition: 30 Round Mags – Absolutely essential. The standard 20-round mag runs out far too quickly in intense engagements. The 30-round mag gives you that extra capacity to take on multiple enemies without reloading constantly. With this setup, you'll feel a noticeable improvement in the AS VAL's performance. The ADS speed remains competitive, the recoil is much more manageable, and the increased magazine size allows for more aggressive pushes. I remember a game on Shipment where I was just tearing through enemies, and this setup was the reason why. Every time I thought I was out of ammo, those 30 rounds saved me! Beyond the attachments, consider your perks and equipment to complement this aggressive AS VAL playstyle. I usually run: Perk 1: E.O.D. or Double Time – E.O.D. keeps you safe from grenades and explosives, while Double Time extends your tactical sprint for faster movement. Choose based on map and personal preference. Perk 2: Ghost – Staying off the radar is crucial, especially with the AS VAL's integrated suppressor. It allows you to flank enemies unnoticed. Perk 3: Amped or Battle Hardened – Amped for faster weapon swap (great if you run a secondary for long ranges), or Battle Hardened to reduce the effect of tactical equipment. For equipment, a Stun Grenade or Flash Grenade paired with a Semtex or Frag Grenade works wonders for clearing rooms and pushing objectives. Ultimately, the AS VAL is a high-skill, high-reward weapon. This full class setup is designed to make it more forgiving and incredibly powerful. Give it a try in your next Call of Duty session, and let me know how it feels! You might just find your new favorite loadout.
