The best Nikita AVT loadout in Warzone

Call of Duty: Warzone’s gargantuan roster of assault rifles grew by one with the onset of Vanguard’s season three, adding the Nikita AVT to the always-changing meta on Caldera.

The Nikita AVT is described in-game as “accurate and reliable with best-in-class fire rate” that “can be outfitted to exceed in CQC or long-range combat scenarios.” It’s easily Vanguard’s fastest-firing AR to date.

The new AR functions as something of an AR-submachine gun hybrid due to its fire rate, high movement speed, and recoil. It’s meant to be used in specific scenarios, like close-range combat on Caldera or Rebirth Island, but it can be highly customized with the Gunsmith.

Here’s the best way to load up your Nikita for success on Warzone.

• Muzzle: MX Silencer

The Nikita is capable of dealing damage at decent range, but its fire rate lends itself to up-close engagements on Caldera or Rebirth Island. To strengthen it, this set of attachments will buff a number of its attributes, including accuracy, damage, and range.

It will have trouble holding its own in long-range gunfights against powerful meta assault rifles like the Cooper Carbine, XM4, or AK-47 or LMGs. Use the Nikita in situations that will be advantageous to its strengths and consider pairing it up with a more stable long-range option in an Overkill loadout.
