Modern Warfare 3 has hundreds of attachments (with many being virtual lookalikes that essentially do the same thing slightly differently), which makes building guns an incredibly confusing process! Looking up class setups online can be clouded by tons of clickbait and low-effort junk, so if you're looking for highly-researched and performance-tested class setups from an actual Call of Duty expert, you are in the right place! In this guide, we'll take a look at the best loadout and attachments for the SVA 545 on 6v6 maps.
Best SVA 545 Build & Attachments
The SVA clocks some absolutely incredible handling times at just 230ms ADS accompanied by 210 Sprint to Fire. While most people would probably default to the STV Precision Barrel, the only other range-increasing attachment, the High-Grain Rounds (HGR) can instead be used to extend the Damage Range just past the 35-meter breakpoint without compromising handling. While HGR do worsen the recoil, it is countered by the Mane V6 Stock (which also doesn't penalize handling) and especially the Demo 650 Grip - our critical and only source of Firing Aim Stability. The Citadel Grip looks more attractive than the Demo 650 due to the same recoil reduction with bonus ADS, but lacks the ever-important FAS.
The result is a blisteringly-fast and responsive AR with full Range capacity, enhanced Strafe speed, and beautifully-controllable recoil. The recoil is a tad bit intense, but is almost 100% vertical - so it's on you to control it properly to reap the incredible mobility gains.
- Muzzle: Shadowstrike Suppressor
- Underbarrel: DR-6 Handstop

Our Testing Process: What does "Mathematically Optimized" mean?
It means that I have personally conducted over 30 hours of dedicated testing across the entire MW2 & 3 attachment set, endlessly consulted high-quality external resources and databases, and tirelessly tested performance across separate attachment combinations to produce what I believe to be the optimal build of a weapon for a specific purpose. Weapons are carefully crafted considering every possible detail - attempting to deliver the mathematically best possible performance in every category - mobility, handling, recoil, range, and accuracy.
With my builds, I believe you should see creative, never-before-seen uses of attachments that create incredible weapons. Do keep in mind that these weapons will not do the work for you - while they have all been precision-crafted to reduce horizontal recoil as much as possible, some of them still have quite noticeable vertical recoil, and it is on you to manage that vertical recoil correctly. I sincerely hope you enjoy reading about this build and every other build I have to offer on Fanbyte!
DISCLAIMER: If you test these in the Firing Range, please note that the Firing Range is currently glitched and shows more visual recoil and different damage performance than actually experienced in-game; it is best that you test these in a custom match or online.
