The build code for our VS Recon loadout is R01-91MUU-VBI11. If you’re new to using weapon codes work, check out our detailed guide on importing and sharing loadout codes in BO7.
This VS Recon build maximizes ADS speed, sprint to fire time, and rechamber efficiency, turning the sniper rifle into a true quickscoping beast that lets you chain kills with ease. To boost ADS and sprint to fire speed, I recommend you equip the RistRauch Nimbus Barrel, DashLine Speed Mag, and R-1 Shelf Grip. These attachments not only speed up your handling but also provide additional benefits that enhance your quickscoping performance.
You’ll need to prestige the VS Recon to unlock the MFS R-Stop Handguard, but it’s well worth the grind. It improves rechamber stability for cleaner follow-up shots while also trimming down ADS and sprint to fire times. Pair it with the Light Bolt to further increase rechamber speed and fire rate, giving you quicker follow-ups for dealing with multiple enemies.
To complete the build, the Stability Heavy Pad helps keep your aim steady even when you’re under fire, and the 5MW Lockstep tightens accuracy during hipfire-to-ADS transition, which is crucial as you’re constantly on the move.
Best VS Recon class setup in BO7
- Wildcard: Gunfighter
- Secondary: Personal preference
- Melee: Personal preference
- Field Upgrade: Mute Field (with Null Signature Overclock)
- Tactical: Stim Shot
- Lethal: Semtex
- Perk 1: Lightweight
- Perk 2: Scavenger
- Perk 3: Dexterity
- Specialty: Enforcer
The Gunfighter Wildcard is required for this VS Recon class setup since we’re equipping eight attachments to maximize the sniper’s quickscoping potential.
Going to field upgrade, go with Mute Field to gain the benefits of Ninja, Ghost, and Cold Blooded for a stealthier playstyle. Overclock it with Null Signature so you stay off enemy minimaps even when firing an unsuppressed weapon, especially useful since this build rocks a brake muzzle. Take Stim Shot for an instant burst of speed and healing, and Semtex for a reliable lethal option.
For perks, pick Lightweight, Scavenger, and Dexterity. Lightweight boosts mobility and helps you recover movement after sliding and diving, Scavenger keeps your ammo and equipment resupplied from eliminated enemies, and Dexterity reduces weapon motion. This combination of perks are perfect for aggressive quickscoping. Plus, having all three red perks activates the Enforcer Combat Specialty, granting bonus movement speed and faster health regeneration after each kill.
