Why use the LR 7.62 in Black Ops 6?
All three Sniper Riflesin Black Ops 6 are rock solid, but on a spacious map, the LR 7.62 shines especially bright. It’s a big, slow gun, to be sure, but for lining up faraway shots, the low recoil and impressive power at your disposal will come in tremendously handy. In my book, this gun’s also a tad stronger than the other bolt-action sniping tool on the block, the LW3A1 Frostline.

At the moment, sniping in Black Ops 6 feels harder than in previous Call of Duty games due to a number of factors, including off-centre aiming and some very obvious vertical recoil. The LR 7.62 already features lower recoil than its competitors, so our attachments focus on improving this rifle in other areas, namely aim-down-sight speed, ammunition, and general handling.
Laser: Target Laser
Lasers are always a matter of personal preference, but considering the aiming issues that Black Ops 6 hits all snipers with, they feel more necessary here than in other Call of Duty games. I like theTarget Laser, personally. If you aren’t a fan of lasers, then swap this one out for a Muzzle or Barrel attachment - for instance, the Ported Compensator and the Gain-Twist Barrel.
Rear Grip: Quickdraw Grip
TheQuickdraw Gripwill provide a nice aid in reducing aim-down-sight speed. This is a great asset in those tricky situations when you need to duck into a new position after unleashing a successful shot. For alternate choices, the Ergonomic Grip works well too.
Stock: Combat Stock
Sticking theCombat Stockon the LR 7.62 will do a decent job of countering the heavy flinch that all snipers will find themselves up against in Black Ops 6. The Heavy Stock or Infiltrator Stock are also viable options; just be sure that you put at least some variety of stock on this gun.
Magazine: Fast Mag II
Fire Mods: Rapid Fire
Adding theRapid Firemod to all of the Sniper Rifles in Black Ops 6 is heavily recommended. Sniping guns have always been slow, but this unavoidable fact combined with the additional tough circumstances against snipers in Black Ops 6 means that Rapid Fire is essential.

Jackal PDW
Even the most skilled sniper can benefit mightily from a snappy, easy-to-shoot weapon that can have your back in tough situations. At the moment, the Jackal PDW is the one to pick. OurJackal PDW loadout guidewill give you all the details on this excellent SMG.
Best LR 7.62 class setup: Equipment and Perks
Equipment:Flashbang, Stim Shot, Assault Pack.
When sniping, I prefer equipment that can back me up in a tough spot and distract opponents if I require cover. A goodFlashbangdoes the trick, and theStim Shotis perfect for healing and refreshing Tactical Sprint. Finally, I almost always go with theAssault Packfor my field upgrade, especially when dealing with a low ammo gun like the LR 7.62.
Perks:Ghost, Engineer, Vigilance, Recon.
Once you equip these three blue Perks, you can equip theReconSpecialty Perk, which lets you see enemies through walls for a brief period after a respawn, and also alerts you whenever an enemy is outside of your view. Exceptionally handy!
Best LR 7.62 alternatives in Black Ops 6
LW3A1 Frostline, SVD.
TheLW3A1 Frostlineis your other bolt-action Sniper Rifle choice in Black Ops 6, and is excellent albeit heftier in the recoil department. Or if you’d like a semi-auto gun with a higher Mag size, give theSVDa try.
