Overview
Edit
SVD stands for Snayperskaya Vintovka Dragunova, which translates to Dragunov's Sniper rifle. Therefore, having the word "dragunov" in front of "SVD" is redundant, as the meaning would then be Dragunov Dragunov's Sniper rifle.
The Dragunov SVD houses high damage (for a semi), very high stability, acceptable accuracy and mobility but low range. The Dragunov is a very good choice for people who decide to use a semi-auto sniper rifle instead of a bolt-action, but comes with low range and other drawbacks experienced by semi's like less peripheral vision and lowered mobility (maybe not mobility) when scoped in.
One of the biggest draws to the Dragunov is that it has arguably one of the best moveshots in the game with low recoil and a consistent 1 hit kill rate (within range), on top of its semi-auto nature. This is balanced by having a painfully low amount of ammo (10 in clip, 10 in reserve) and aforementioned low range.
It should be noted that when zoomed once with the regular scope, recoil is substantially lower compared to when fully zoomed in.
Edit: it has been confirmed scoping ing does not affect movement speed, although moving will affect accuracy evident in the inaccuracy meter on the right when scoped in.
The Dragunov is unique in that its mods can greatly affect its playstyle, as it can either embrace its traditional sniper role with higher accuracy at the cost of mobility or become more rifle-like with an emphasis on stability and RoF. Either way, this weapon remains highly effective and easily one of the best cost/preformance ratios in the game.

Recommended BuildsEdit
Build 1Edit
Sharp Shooter Barrel, Rapid Fire Mechanism, Weight Grip, Heavy Stock (optional)
Sight is up to personal preference.
(+2 Accuracy, +1 RoF + 3 Stability - 3 Mobility)
Build 2Edit
Lightweight Barrel, Weight grip, Rapid-Fire Mechanism, Fast Reaction Stock.
Sight is up to personal preference, though the Quick Scope takes less time to view through the scope.
(-1 range, +3 Stability, -3 Mobility, +5 RoF)
NOTES: The Fast Reaction Stock's description claims to lower range, but it has no statistical change on range. However, after some testing this statement appears to be true though to what degree is uncertain.
Also, Some guns lose moveshot accuracy and gain standing/crouching accuracy when a stock is added. This seems to hold true to the Dragunov, though there is currently no video evidence of it.

TriviaEdit
- It is a common misconception that the SVD is the sniper rifle variant of the AK47. This is totally wrong, as the only similarties between the two are exterior. They feature completely different firing systems and use different caliber ammunition.
- The variant of the SVD in game is the SVD-M. It features a modern polymer stock, unlike the wood stock and grip in the classic version.
