The assault rifle AS VAL is a strong choice for multiplayer in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 due to its high mobility. We will show you 2 builds that allow you to play the meta rifle.
In CoD Black Ops 6 there are numerous different weapons, ranging from assault rifles to sniper rifles. Although the first meta of BO6 is currently dominated by submachine guns, the AS VAL is also popular among players.
What kind of weapon is this? You unlock the AS VAL quite late in Black Ops 6 – only at player level 55. However, once you can equip the assault rifle, you have a strong choice for short and medium ranges. The AS VAL features a built-in suppressor, high fire rate, and quick time-to-kill.
Below we will show you two strong builds that allow you to play the assault rifle in multiplayer.
CoD Black Ops 6: AS VAL – Meta Build
What kind of build is this? According to current statistics, a large part of the community is currently playing the AS VAL with this build (Status: Season 1 starting November 14 via wzstats.gg). Below we will show you the setup that is considered the meta build for the assault rifle.
- Barrel: Long Barrel with Suppressor

- Magazine: Extended Mag II
Attachments in English
- Barrel: Suppressed Long Barrel
- Rear Grip: Commando Grip
- Underbarrel: Vertical Foregrip

What makes the setup strong? The underbarrel increases recoil control, while the grip improves fire rate after sprinting and aiming speed. The recoil springs also reduce noticeable recoil when firing. The long barrel improves damage range and additionally, your position is concealed by the suppressor.
The Extended Mag II increases your magazine capacity to 40 rounds. However, you will sacrifice speed when it comes to reloading and aiming. If that is too slow overall, you can also use the Extended Mag I, which gives you 30 rounds.
CoD Black Ops 6: AS VAL – 8 Attachments
If you plan to equip the wildcard “Gunslinger,” which you get at player level 33 to use 8 attachments, you can additionally to the 5 mentioned:

The stock increases your aiming speed, while the laser provides increased precision when firing from the hip. Be aware that it is visible to your enemies when you aim.

For your loadout, it is advisable to play the AS VAL with a strong submachine gun like the KSV. The KSV, with its high fire rate and very good time-to-kill at close range, is currently one of the most popular weapons in multiplayer. For the combination, you need the “Overkill” wildcard.
However, if you are more looking for a strong alternative to the AS VAL that can also perform well at longer distances, we recommend the XM4. The assault rifle is a true jack-of-all-trades and a good choice for beginners since: You can equip it from the start.
