↖ Why the AS Val?

The AS Val precision bow is an incredibly powerful hybrid weapon with the kind of versatility that is hard to match. It can annihilate any opponent in skirmishes with its high rate of fire, while mid and long range opponents can easily be targeted with the right attachments. Though these firepower comes with its own unique challenges: getting ammo and mantaining recoil. For an AS Val to be effective on the battlefields, it needs to be paired with the right setups.

↖ Best AS Val Loadouts

Make the most of this weapon by using the Gunfighter wildcard to equip 8 attachments. This is the best setup:

Barrel: Also Attach a Suppressed Reinforced Barrel

Boosts bullet velocity and damage range, making long-range engagements easier. Also suprresses your position for stealth.

↖ Underbarrel: Vertical Foregrip

The AS Val has one of the highest fire rates in the game, which makes recoil go through the roof. The vertical foregrip allows for better horizontal recoil control, enhancing sustained fire accuracy.

↖ Magazine: Extended Mag 2

With how fast the AS Val fires, the ammo is going to dwindle fast. The 40 round magazine provides good balance between mobility and capacity without heavily suffering from the penalties of Extended Mag 3.

↖ Grip: Quickdraw Grip

The AS Val's aim-down-sights speed is sluggish. With the Quickdraw Grip, the AS Val can gain target acquisition speed, which is important during rapid-paced combat.

↖ Stock: Infiltrator Stock

This stock improved aim-walking movement speed while looking down sights, making you a harder target to hit. Aiding strafing during combat engages without hindering agility, makes your gameplay super dynamic.

↖ Laser: Target Laser

Target Laser enhances accuracy by minimizing aiming idle sway and increasing aim-walking steadiness. With the Infiltrator Stock, it guarantees precision even while on the go.

↖ Recoil Control: Recoil Springs

Due to the AS Val's lack of a muzzle attachment, Recoil Springs are vital to control vertical recoil. This attachment adds horizontal recoil control as well, improving the ability to land multiple shots with ease.

↖ Optic (Optional): Microflex LED

Some players may prefer a more refined sight picture as the iron sights on the AS Val are adequate. Microflex LED is without a doubt renowned for precision aiming, which makes it an opt for those players.

↖ Complementary Equipment

Secondary Weapon: Gobi (or your desired pistol)

A good secondary weapon is a necessity in the event you are caught in a situation without any spare ammunition in your AS Val.

↖ Lethal Equipment: Blast Traps

They are extremely powerful in defending and capturing objectives. Their current strength makes them inarguably crucial for any player in the game.

↖ Tactical Equipment: Stim Shots

In the midst of intense gunfights, rapid health restoration stands to change the course of the game.

↖ Recommended Perks

Scavenger: Collect ammo and equipment from killed enemies to keep replenishing supplies during prolonged killstreaks.

Hunter's Instinct: Marks enemy locations on your minimap after each kill, providing you with valuable information during combat.

Slipstream: Increases your sprint speed which allows you to move around the map more quickly.

Enforcer: Grants you temporary movement speed and health regen after you get 3 kills. This is a very powerful perk for keeping the momentum going during your streaks.

↖ Gameplay Tips for Success

Positioning Matters:

The AS Val does best in mid-range fights, but it can also handle close and long-range fights when needed. Make use of cover and try to minimize being in the open areas where snipers can easily pick you off.

Control Recoil:

Due to its high fire rate, controlling recoil is a must if you want to be accurate. For longer ranges, shoot in controlled bursts to ensure precision.

Utilize Blast Traps:

Set these up beside objectives or popular flanking routes to help disrupt enemy movement while getting easy eliminations.

Adapt Your Playstyle:

The AS Val is versatile enough to let you play aggressively or defensively depending on what your team needs at the moment. Use this flexibility to outmaneuver your opponents.

↖ Final Thoughts
