BOSG.12.2 with Magnified A, Angled Grip and laser — no barrel slot at all — SMG-12 with Holo A, Vertical Grip and laser as a full backup, and Impact Grenades for rotates and vertical lines.

Vote on This Loadout

Expert recommendation

Written and reviewed by hand for this patch. This is an opinion, not a win-rate measurement.

Why it works

The BOSG.12.2 has no barrel slot, so Magnified A and Angled Grip are the real decision: the reach to use its single powerful shot at range, and the faster ADS to actually land it before ghosting away. The laser sharpens hip-fire for the close trades that follow. The SMG-12 mirrors the Holo A, Vertical Grip and laser setup, giving Vigil a genuine second weapon rather than just a sidearm.

Who it is best for

Players who want Impact Grenades as the default utility — instant rotates and vertical lines to reposition once his own ERC-7 has already broken line of sight.

Primary weapon

2.5x. The old ACOG. Real reach down a sightline, at the cost of close-range swing.

Barrel

Not available

Faster aim-down-sights. Favoured by players who peek and reposition constantly.

Secondary weapon

Machine Pistol

NATO. Clear centre, but obstructs more peripheral vision than a red dot.

Barrel

Not available

Reduces vertical recoil. The default pick for sustained fire.

Gadget

Opens rotates and vertical lines instantly. The most flexible defender gadget.
