Best SVA 545 loadout and attachments in MW3

Here’s a solid SVA 545 loadout in MW3 that will help you dominate matches:

  • Muzzle: HMRES Mod Suppressor
  • Barrel: Authority IV Short Barrel
  • Under barrel: Chewk Angled Grip
  • Stock: Skelly Folding Stock
  • Rear Grip: Citadel Grip
  • Optic: MK.3 Reflector

For our attachments, we’re going to pick the HMRES Mod Suppressor. This will give us some bullet velocity, and keep us off the radar. Since the SVA 545 fires in short bursts, being silent improves your odds of racking multiple kills. Our barrel choice is the Authority IV Short barrel, which gives us additional movement speed, aim walking speed, and steadiness. For our Under barrel, we have the Chewk Angled Grip. This overall gives us a lot of additional control over our gun.

The Skelly Folding stock gives us more mobility. Our rear grip is the Citadel Grip, which gives us a very important aim down sight speed, and some more overall control. As for the scope, don’t be picky. The MK.3 Reflector is a good pick if the usual iron sights aren’t to your liking.
