The Nikita ATV already has a high fire rate, and the Recoil Booster makes it fire even faster, allowing you to quickly tear through enemies. To boost its damage and range, we’ve also added the Kovalevskaya 546mm Sniper barrel paired with the Lengthened Ammo.
The optic choice is up to you, but we’re big fans of the Slate Reflector. The ZAC MS is an interesting Stock because it increases the Nikita’s horizontal accuracy and lowers its ADS time, making it a powerful choice.
We’ve opted for the M1941 Hand Stop for extra accuracy and the 7.62x54MMR 45 Round Mags to allow you to take down several enemies before having to reload.
The Fabric Grip increases the Nikita AVT’s mobility, and then you can use the Brace Proficiency to have high accuracy as soon as you aim. Finally, Fully Loaded ensures you have enough bullets at your disposal.
Best Vanguard Perks & Equipment to use with Nikita AVT
- Perk 1: Ghost
- Perk 2: Forward Intel
- Perk 3: Lightweight
- Lethal Equipment: Sticky Bomb
- Tactical Equipment: Stun Grenade
- Field Upgrade: Trophy System
For Perks and Equipment, we recommend the Ghost Perk to hide from enemy UAVs and pull off some nifty flanks. Then, Forward Intel allows you to know exactly where the enemies are spawning and easily control the map. Finally, Lightweight allows you to speedily move around the map and reposition.
The Sticky Bomb and Stun Grenades are a powerful combo, where you can use the Stun to lock an enemy in place while the Sticky Bomb goes off. And Season 3’s new Trophy System will also be a powerful choice in objective modes.
