[GameSpot] - CoD: Warzone 2.0 And DMZ Best Weapon Loadouts And Attachment Tuning

[343iBot]

Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0 arrived with the start of Season 1, and both battle royale and DMZ mode make use of Modern Warfare 2's entire weapons and attachments pool. Customizing the optimal weapon loadout in the Gunsmith can sometimes be overwhelming, so here we recommend some of the best loadouts to use in Season 1 of Warzone 2.0 and DMZ.

Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2.0's Gunsmith adds the ability to fine tune attachments to improve certain weapon stats, such as recoil control, bullet velocity, aim down sight speed, and more. This is done by adjusting two sliders towards one stat benefit or the other.

Weapon tuning feature in Warzone/MW2

It's important to note that not every attachment needs to be tuned just for the sake of tuning, as every adjustment has a pro and con tradeoff, but tuning attachments like muzzles and barrels can be beneficial. For our recommended loadouts, we do include a few attachments worth fine tuning for each build.

M4

M4 assault rifle

The M4 assault rifle is an easy-to-handle assault rifle with great range, so this specific build is focused on long-range combat. The recommended attachments will help give you the best performance for mid- to long-range engagements.

Recommended M4 attachments:

• Muzzle: Harbinger D20
• Barrel: Hightower 20" Barrel
• Optic: VLK 4.0 Optic

For further tuning, you can tune the Harbinger D20 muzzle with the left slider maxing out the recoil smoothness, while the bottom slider is maxing out bullet velocity.

And you can tune the Tundra Pro Barrel by sliding the left slider to max out recoil steadiness, and then move the bottom slider all the way over to max out the damage range.

TAQ-56

TAQ 56 assault rifle

The TAQ-56 is one of the most powerful assault rifles in Warzone 2.0 and DMZ, but it does have a bit more recoil than the M4, especially at longer ranges. The recommended attachments will help manage some of the gun's kick, and also give you a boost to the ammo count.

Recommended TAQ-56 attachments:

• Muzzle: RF Crown 50
• Barrel: Tundra Pro Barrel
• Optic: VLK 4.0 Optic

And tune the Tactique Brute Stock by sliding the left slider to max out the aim down sight speed, and adjust the bottom slider to max out aiming idle stability.

RPK

RPK light machine gun

The RPK is powerful and one of the best light machine guns to use, but you'll want the recommended attachments to help manage some of the weapon's recoil, and give the gun an additional boost to bullet velocity.

Victus XMR

Victus XMR sniper rifle

Season 1 brings the new Victus XMR sniper rifle in the free tiers of the battle pass. Sniping in Warzone 2.0 isn't quite as overpowered as the original Warzone, so one-shot kills are quite rare, but the Victus XMR can still be a great choice if you prefer to snipe for long-range engagements. Our recommended attachments will help add a little boost to the bullet velocity and ADS speed.

EBR-14 marksman rifle

The EBR-14 marksman rifle really packs a punch in Warzone 2.0, and it offers a more versatile, long-range playstyle than a sniper rifle. The recommended attachments will help further boost the bullet velocity and give better recoil control.
