The AS VAL boasts one of the fastest time-to-kill (TTK) rates in Call of Duty, making it a reliable secondary weapon choice. Discover the optimal attachments and perks for the top Warzone AS VAL loadout in Season 5.
While Warzone offers countless strong weapons thanks to Raven Software's balanced TTK philosophy, the AS VAL stands out as a surprise powerhouse. It's built for close-to-medium range dominance, where its rapid fire rate shines—though its small magazine limits long-range effectiveness.
The VLK 200mm Osa barrel features an integrated monolithic suppressor, boosting range and bullet velocity significantly. Pair it with the Merc Foregrip to tame recoil and enhance hip-fire precision during intense fights.
The Tac Laser and FFS Intl. GRU Generation 4 stock speed up aim-down-sight (ADS) time, letting you snap onto targets fast and capitalize on the AS VAL's elite TTK.
Given its blistering fire rate, the 30 Round Mags are essential—you'll drop one enemy per mag, making this ideal for Battle Royale Solos.
Pairing the right perks maximizes the AS VAL's potential, enhancing survivability and flexibility in Warzone's chaotic battles.
Cold Blooded counters Season 5's powerful Combat Scout by hiding you from thermal optics and AI targeting. Overkill lets you run two primaries (pair with a sniper), and Amped enables lightning-fast weapon swaps—crucial with the AS VAL's limited ammo.
The August 16 update boosted the AS VAL's damage range, but it still excels up close while faltering at distance.
The AS VAL (MW), post-balance changes, maintains one of the quickest TTKs. Though magazine size holds it back, its potential exceeded our targets.
Originally from Modern Warfare's Season 6 Battle Pass, unlock the AS VAL in Warzone Season 5 via challenge: Get 2 headshots with Assault Rifles in 5 different matches. Easy in multiplayer or BR—equip an AR and aim high.
For close-quarters solos, consider the buffed Modern Warfare MP5 or reliable Bullfrog SMG.
