The AS VAL has landed in Season 6 as one of the best ARs in the game. Its high damage, fire rate and accuracy make it lethal on the battlefield. The weapon is balanced by having a low magazine capacity and heavy recoil.
Today’s guide goes through the AS VAL stats and recommends the best class setups and attachments to run with the weapon.
Weapon background
The AS VAL is the first of its kind in Call of Duty. It is a Russian made assault rifle by the same company that makes the VSS sniper rifle.
Stats
- Damage: 30-23 / Upper Torso: 37-28
- Rate of Fire: 923RPM
- Recoil: High vertical
- Time to Kill: 130ms to 195ms depending on where shots land
Best Attachments
The best attachments for the AS VAL in Modern Warfare are:
- VLK 200mm Osa barrel
- Merc Foregrip
- 30 Round Mags ammo
The VLK 200mm Osa increases the weapons damage range and bullet velocity, The Merc Foregrip provides much-needed recoil control, and finally, the 30 Round Mags increases the weapons ammo capacity. The weapon’s ammo capacity is its biggest weakness at only 20 rounds.
Best Class Setups
The following class setups are the 3 best class setups we recommend to run with the AS VAL.
Class 1 – Warzone ready
This class is built for Warzone heads. It’s a season 6 special with the SP-R 208 Marksman rifle as secondary. Attach the following onto the weapon:
- VLK 200mm Osa
- VLK Strelok Stock
- Merc Foregrip
- 30 Round Mags
- Stippled Grip Tape
Class Setup
As mentioned before, the remainder of the class is geared towards Warzone.
- Secondary: SP-R 208
- Perk 1: Cold Blooded
- Perk 2: Overkill
- Perk 3: Amped
- Lethal: Frag Grenade
- Tactical: Smoke Grenade
Cold Blooded, Overkill and Amped are a great trio in Warzone. Cold Blooded keeps you hidden from enemy thermals, Overkill allows you that SP-R 208 and Amped allows you to flick out your secondary faster to finish off an enemy from a distance.
Class 2 – Balanced MP
This class setup works great across all game modes in MP. Attach the following onto the AS VAL:
- VLK 200mm Osa
- Stovl 6P30 Skelet
- Merc Foregrip
- 30 Round Mags
- Stippled Grip Tape
Class Setup
The rest of the class works well for all playstyles.
- Secondary: 1911
- Perk 1: E.O.D.
- Perk 2: Restock
- Perk 3: Shrapnel
- Lethal: C4
- Tactical: Stun Grenade
E.O.D., Restock and Shrapnel works great in objective based game modes especially for those players that like to attack and defend the objective. Shrapnel gives you two C4 while Restock keeps them coming in as long as you stay alive.
Class 3 – SnD Godz
The final class setup for the SP-R 208 is the SnD Godz class. This setup is perfect for players that love to rush the enemy. Load the following onto the AS VAL:
- Stovl SOF
- Stovl 6P30 Skelet
- Commando Foregrip
- 30 Round Mags
- Stippled Grip Tape
Class Setup
The remainder of the class takes into consideration speed and aggression.
- Secondary: Renetti
- Perk 1: Double Time
- Perk 2: Ghost
- Perk 3: Tracker
- Lethal: C4
- Tactical: Stun Grenade
This class setup works perfect to keep you fast and stealthy. Tracker works great incase you miss someone running close by.
