Attachment Setup For SKS

Mid to Long Range SKS

AttachmentReason
Monolithic SuppressorMonolithic SuppressorMonolithic Suppressor provides superior sound suppression and increased range. Moderate weight increase affects agility.
22 FSS M59/6622" FSS M59/66A modern take from FSS on the classic Yugoslavian sniper barrel. 22.0 barrel greatly increases muzzle velocity and extends range.
4.0x Flip Hybrid4.0x Flip HybridLong range 4.0x optic manually flips to closer range holographic sight.
Sawed-off StockSawed-off StockThe ultimate run and gun modification when agility is more important than precision. Sawing off the stock greatly increases movement
Operator ForegripOperator ForegripNo frills foregrip helps control vertical recoil for faster follow-up shots.

Increased Accuracy and Range

This setup doubles down on the SKS' excellent accuracy and range at the slight cost of mobility and control. Thanks to the hybrid optic, you will be able to engage against enemies that you encounter from mid to long range! Barrel and Underbarrel attachments also minimize recoil to help you land your shots.

Does Not Perform Well Up Close

Despite it being able to perform in mid to long range, this setup does not excel at close range due to its slow ADS speed and semi-automatic firing mode. You may need to look elsewhere to compensate for this.

Perfect For Dispatching Enemies At Range

This loadout rewards players who choose to stay far away from the action and opt to pick off unsuspecting targets from afar. The Cold-Blooded Perk makes you invisible to targeting systems, while High Alert warns you of impending danger! The Tracker perk will let you easily sniff out enemies to quickly take them out!

Cover Your Six

While sniping in your spot, it would be best to have a Claymore or Proximity Mine hidden near your position to avoid any enemy coming up and taking you out from behind. This gives you some insurance so you can wholly focus on taking out enemy targets!
