Best loadout for the VEL 46 in Modern Warfare 4

The VEL 46 is designed for faster engagements, so we want to build its loadout around mobility while also ensuring that you can stay on target at longer ranges. You’ll also want to make the VEL 46 slightly better in the time-to-kill department if you want it to become a meta weapon, like the WZ.55 Striga SMG.

• Barrel: VB-46 Series 11
• Muzzle: TA TacPro-56
• Underbarrel: FSS Tac90 Grip
• Rear Grip: LM Combat Grip
• Stock: VEL 46 Extended

For this VEL 46 loadout, we’ve vastly increased damage range, making the SMG much stronger overall. You’ll also see a slight accuracy buff so you can hit more shots consistently. We also can’t forget about mobility, but there will be a slight decrease in this area due to the other attachments we have equipped.

With the VEL 46 having such good iron sights, there’s no optic equipped, and the Apex Attachment isn’t in use either. However, both of those attachment slots can be filled if you want an alternate build for the SMG.
