The Best Warzone Nikita AVT Loadout | The New Cooper

One of Warzone & Vanguard's Season 3 weapons is the Nikita AVT. It has a very high rate-of-fire, and feels similar to the Cooper Carbine. If that sounds like the weapon for you, here's the current meta attachment setup.

The Nikita AVT is one of those weapons that when you first look at, you expect it to behave like the AS44. And by that, we mean pointless. It's very fast-firing, and it seems on paper like it's going to be uncontrollably fast and have too much recoil to be effective. However, with the right combination of attachments, we can reduce the recoil enough to make this an effective rifle for a sniper support build. This is the best Nikita Loadout.

This set up finds the right mix between recoil control and mobility. As this is an AR, it will be more effective at those mid-range engagements, from 15-30/40 m. In a pinch, it can compete with some SMGs up close, but it would be recommended you avoid fights in tight confined spaces, since SMGs will still outgun you. This gun has a super high fire rate, so it is quite forgiving, if you do miss a shot every now and then.

Since we are building a sniper support class, we obviously need a sniper rifle, and the best option for that is the ZRG. It's just the best all round sniper in Warzone. It has a good ADS time, superb bullet velocity and is still a one shot headshot, at all ranges. You just can't go wrong with this sniper rifle. Here is our best ZRG 20mm setup.

The Best Equipment For The Nikita AVT

LethalThrowing Knife
TacticalStun Grenade

The throwing knife shouldn't surprise anyone anymore, it's just undisputedly the best lethal equipment in the game. As for the stuns, we opted for them, to help us in close range gun fights. To make up for our lack of SMG mobility and TTK, we use the stuns, so we can shift those gun fights back into our favour.

The Best Perks For The Nikita AVT

Perk 1Cold-Blooded
Perk 2Overkill

Perk 3

Combat Scout

Combat Scout is fantastic on Caldera, as it will mark enemies for the team automatically when we deal damage, so no matter which bushes they try to hide in, we'll find them. And we're taking Cold-Blooded to hard counter enemies who try to use Combat Scout against us. While, in the second perk slot, we obviously had to go with Overkill, so we can run two primary weapons.

If the Nikita is still too bouncy for you, and you'd rather a more steady option, then perhaps the STG with 50 round Gorenko mags is more your style?
