The SVA 545 in Modern Warfare 3 will look familiar to many Call of Duty players and has remained a favorite since the game launched in November 2023.
While the SVA 545 is a great gun, it needs the right loadout to really maximize the range, accuracy, and recoil control expected of top-of-the-line assault rifles. But after a buff in MW3 season two, it’s become one of the favorites in the meta overall and has held strong right at the top of the most-used weapons in the game.
This is what we think is the best SVA 545 loadout and class in CoD: MW3.
Best SVA 545 loadout and class setup in MW3
When attempting to compete with the SVA 545 in sweaty multiplayer matches, you’ll need a handy set of attachments and a solid class setup to make the most of this one. That’s why we’re here to help build the best SVA 545 loadout possible.
Best SVA 545 build in MW3 multiplayer
- Muzzle: Zulu-60
- Barrel: STV Precision Barrel
- Optic: Cronen Mini Pro
- Stock: Smooth Fire Sniper Stock
- Rear Grip: Citadel Grip
The SVA 545 is a jack-of-all-trades, master of none. It’ll serve you well early on, but without a few key attachments, many players will find this one doesn’t cut the mustard. The weapon has a decent fire rate though, so we’ll be aiming to boost its range, accuracy, and recoil control for better consistency in the mid-range.
Thanks to the return of the radar red dot in MW3, we’ll start with a suppressor to keep hidden as long as we can. The Zulu-60 fits the bill perfectly as it grants a slight range boost plus a little recoil control. The barrel, stock, and rear grip combination give us a moderate jump in aim down sight speed while leaving recoil unaffected.
I prefer the Cronen Mini Pro personally, but by all means, alternate with your choice of short-range optics. If you like the iron sights (which honestly aren’t too bad at all), perhaps go for a magazine-size boost just to be safe.
Best SVA 545 class in MW3 multiplayer
- Vest: Infantry Vest
- Handgun: Renetti
- Tactical: Stun Grenade
- Lethal: Semtex
- Field Equipment: Trophy System
- Gloves: Marksman Gloves
- Boots: Lightweight Boots or Stalker Boots
- Gear: Tac Mask
Tac Mask is essential as many MW3 players are relying on flash or stun grenades to get them into advantageous positions. Nullify these effects with the Tac Mask or the Trophy System to destroy them before they even get close.
The rest of the class keeps you not only mobile but consistent when on the move. Improved strafing and ADS, as well as reduced flinch when taking fire, means you can keep your eye on the prize without dropping focus.
