Best LR 7.62 loadout in Black Ops 6 beta: Class setup, attachments, perks
DexertoThe LR 7.62 is a powerful sniper rifle that deals more damage per shot than any other gun in the Black Ops 6 beta, and it can be made even better if you use a meta loadout.
Sniping in Call of Duty has always been strong, with Modern Warfare 3 alone seeing powerhouses like the Kar98k and XRK Stalker dominate MW3’s meta. Early impressions suggest Black Ops 6 won’t be any different, with the LR 7.62 already showing serious potential.
This heavy-duty sniper hits hard, killing in one shot almost anywhere to the body. It doesn’t have the fastest handling, and its flinch can be quite extreme at times, but that unrivaled raw damage makes it a great option regardless.
To get the most out of the LR 7.62, you’ll need the best loadout possible, and we’ve got you covered. Here’s the class you want to be using with Black Ops 6’s most powerful sniper rifle.
Best Black Ops 6 LR 7.62 loadout
- Barrel: Gain-Twist Barrel
- Underbarrel: Ranger Handguard
- Rear Grip: Quickdraw Grip
- Stock: Balanced Stock
- Fire Mods: Rapid Fire
The Rapid Fire mod is by far the most impactful attachment on the LR 7.62, as it increases the gun’s rate of fire. Although this requires weapon level 42, it is worth the grind. It makes the sniper much more forgiving when you miss a shot, which is incredibly valuable in such a fast-paced game.
Similarly, the LR 7.62’s handling is too slow by default. Thankfully, the Quickdraw Grip fixes this by increasing the gun’s aim down sights speed. Once again, this is invaluable to keep up with Black Ops 6’s rapid pacing.
The gun’s mobility can also be improved by using both the Ranger Handguard and Balanced Stock. These boost movement speed and even sprinting movement speed, letting you move around the map and reposition faster.
For the last attachment slot, you are best off using the Gain-Twist Barrel for the increased bullet velocity it provides. Alternatively, some players may prefer using a lower zoom optic, like the Kepler Microflex or PrismaTech Reflex, especially on smaller maps where close-range gunfights are the norm.
Best Perks, Equipment & Combat Specialty for LR 7.62 loadout
Recon is the best combat specialty to use with snipers like the LR 7.62, as it allows you to see enemies through walls for a short period after spawning. This provides valuable intel that can be used to pre-aim angles to punish reckless opponents.
To gain these benefits, you’ll want to use these perks and equipment:
- Wildcard: Perk Greed
- Perk 1: Ghost
- Perk 2: Engineer
- Perk 3: Vigilance
- Perk 4: Bankroll
- Lethal: Frag
- Tactical: Prox Alarm
- Field Upgrade: Acoustic Amp
With Perk Greed equipped, you can use four different perks. The first three should be blue perks, as these need to match to activate Recon. Ghost is the best blue perk in the game, making you undetectable by enemy UAVs and Scout Pulses.
For the other two slots, you should use both Engineer and Vigilance. The Engineer perk reveals enemy equipment through walls, while Vigilance shows you when you appear on the other team’s minimap, letting you better judge if it’s best to play safe or more aggressively in a given moment.
The fourth perk can be anything, as it does not affect combat specialties. There are several good options, but Bankroll stands out as the best, granting you 150 score at the start of each life. This makes earning powerful streaks easier, giving you the power to flip unfavorable games in your favor.
A Frag is a classic lethal that can be cooked to explode at just the right moment. The Prox Alarm is perfect for shutting down flankers, as it alerts you when other players are nearby. For Field Upgrade, the Acoustic Amp makes enemy footsteps louder, making it even harder for opponents to catch you off guard.
