The best Vanguard Type 99 loadouts are there for when you are looking for a quick-scoping haven in the latest Call of Duty. Vanguard only offers up three sniper rifles, but the Type 99 is the fastest of the lot, and will have you cracking off headshots in no time. However, you need to amplify its a performance a little before you quite there. That's why we've cooked up the best Vanguard Type 99 loadouts to walk you through the attachments, loadouts, and perks you should be looking for. 

In Call of Duty Vanguard, sniping isn't quite what it has been in previous titles, although it can still be effective with the right craft. Granted, you may have to grind painfully through the first few levels with your snipers, the Vanguard Type 99 does hit a rhythm down the line. patience is a virtue with Vanguard sniping, as it relives the slower and clunkier days that may benefit a more tame approach. 

With an infinite number of combinations for your Vanguard Type 99 loadout, you need to power through the levels in order to craft the weapon as both a quivering quickscoper or a steady-aimed cherry picker, boasting near-perfect accuracy and an unrelenting kill rate.

So, here's our guide to get the best out of your Vanguard Type 99 loadout, including the best class set-up and attachments.
