Best KV Inhibitor Attachments
Barrel – Kastovia GXR-12
By default, the KV Inhibitor sniper rifle has a very slow ADS speed. With the Kastovia GXR-12 attachment on this sniper, you will experience better ADS Speed and improved Movement to reposition yourself quickly.
Underbarrel – FTAC SP-10 Angled Grip
When you hit back-to-back shots with KV Inhibitor, you will experience more horizontal recoil than vertical. Therefore, I chose the FTAC SP-10 Angled Grip to improve the sniper’s shaky nature.
Ammunition – .338 Magnum Spire Point
In my opinion, I want my sniper to get more range and deal more damage to the opponent. The .338 Magnum Spire Point ammunition is to enhance the bullet speed, so no enemy can escape from your shot.
Magazine – 5 Round Mag
Instead of having a bigger magazine, I would prefer a single magazine with more rounds. This is essential because you wish to hit more shots with a sniper without reloading, as it slows you down and the opponents can hide.
Stock – Ivanov Wood Stock
At the cost of recoil, the Ivanov Wood Stock will get you extra points for ADS Speed stability. A more stable aim will keep your scope still for a longer time. Furthermore, it will help you get higher accuracy.
Rear Grip – Broadside Factory Grip
I strictly recommend you keep the Broadside Factory Grip with KV Inhibitor. It fixes the slow movement speed that comes with this sniper. Moreover, you will get significant points for gun handling.
Laser – SL Razorhawk Laser Light
Although your enemies can see the Laser, you can kill them before they react to it. This is possible with improved ADS Speed and better weapon accuracy, so you don’t miss your shots.
Optic – KR V4 1x Riser
With a semi-auto sniper, you need a scope like KR V4 1x Riser, so your vision is clear. I tried some other optic attachments as well, such as Axial Arms 3x and KR V2 3.25X Hybrid, but I recommend you stick with the KR V4 1x Riser.
Refer to the table below that contains the names of all KV Inhibitor attachments.

Best KV Inhibitor Loadout Equipment
Vest – Overkill
As an aggressive Call of Duty player, I prefer to keep a second primary weapon to back up the KV Inhibitor. The Overkill Vest allows me to keep dual primary weapons, so I recommend you choose the P90 SMG or the WSP Stinger. Moreover, it offers a large magazine with a high fire rate.
Gloves – Scavenger Gloves
Scavenger Gloves will improve your gun handling. It means that after switching from melee to primary weapon, you will draw KV inhibitor faster. This will reduce the delay and you can kill the enemy when they are still in your vision.
Boots – Lightweight Boots
KV Inhibitor is heavy, so it will slow down your movement speed. To cater to it, I strictly advise you to equip yourself the Lightweight boots, not only they will increase your movement, but you will also sprint for a longer period.
Gear – Bone Conduction Headset
When camping or inside the enemy territory, the Bone Conduction Headset will help you minimize the surrounding noise, so you can hear the enemy footsteps with higher accuracy.
Tactical – Flash Grenade
If you have given away your location and the enemies are pushing on you, hide behind a cover to throw a Flash Grenade discreetly. This will block enemy vision, and you can crawl out to finish them and stay safe.
Here is a short table that lists all the equipment for this loadout.
Vest Overkill
Gloves Scavenger Gloves
Boots Lightweight Boots
Gear Bone Conduction Headset
Tactical Flash Grenade
Secondary Weapon Choice
The convention with a sniper is to keep a light weapon that can handle close-quarter combat and leave the faraway enemies for the KV Inhibitor. Keeping that in mind, I will recommend you keep the P90 SMG as your secondary weapon.
Below are a few facts that explain why I prefer to pair the KV Inhibitor with the P90 in my loadout:
- P90 is an SMG. That means that it has high-performance output at close ranges. You can confidently pull it out if you are struggling with the KV Inhibitor.
- When repositioning yourself, carrying the sniper in your hands is not recommended, as it is heavy and offers lower mobility.
- Therefore, I prefer keeping P90, so I can get rid of the opponents if they appear by surprise.
- P90 has a large magazine of 50 rounds. This is insanely high for an SMG, and you can finish off a large group of enemies easily when a high fire rate is also kept in mind.
Pros
- Exceptional Bullet Speed.
- Low Recoil.
- Better Fire Rate due to Semi-Automatic nature.
Cons
- Reduced Accuracy for Hipfiring.
- Slow ADS Speed.
- Restricted Movement when sniper in hand.
My Thoughts On The KV Inhibitor Loadout
I believe that KV Inhibitor is an underrated sniper, and you should use it more often. It is a new addition to the COD world, so it still has to prove its worth. Moreover, if you keep all the attachments I listed, you can turn them into a quick scoping machine that can get you a lot of kills during spawn hunting or other enemy traps.
