The best Warzone loadouts and class setups

Want to find the best Warzone loadout? Season 4's Reloaded update is well underway and has brought balance changes to many of the best Warzone guns. A useful loadout feature was also added, allowing you to sort out your custom weapon loadout in the pre-game lobby, but was then removed by Raven when it turned out to be extremely buggy. Hopefully it returns in a more polished state soon.

Anyway, having the best Warzone loadout is vital if you want to have the edge over your enemies and make it to the final circle. So if you're looking for an optimised setup that's ready to go, this guide should help you find your ideal build. Here are the best Warzone loadouts, including attachments, perks, and throwables to help you get the most out of your setup.

Best Warzone loadout list: The best setups for Season 4

The best Warzone loadouts are:

MG 82 & LC10

MG 82

Muzzle: Agency Suppressor
Barrel: 16.4” Task Force
Optic: Axial Arms 3x
Underbarrel: Field Agent Grip
Ammunition: 125 Rnd

Season 4 did not mess around in getting us some brand spanking new weapons with a whole lot of power behind them. The MG 82 offers a ridiculous amount of stopping power along with a fast fire rate so it’s nice and forgiving at longer ranges. The Task Force barrel is great for minimising horizontal shakiness, and it boosts your bullet velocity to make sure your shots are just where you aim them. Check out our best MG 82 loadouts page for more.

LC 10

Muzzle: Agency Suppressor
Barrel: 13.9” Task Force
Underbarrel: Field Agent Grip
Stock: SAS Combat Stock
Ammunition: Salvo 52 Rnd Fast Mag

I absolutely adore the LC10. It’s got the perfect combination of mobility and power, and the way it’s setup here means you can shred at mid-range too thanks to the Field Agent Grip: It stops foes from being able to duck and dive through your recoil. It’s got a high magazine capacity, you can run around pretty quickly with it. It just does its job very, very well.

C58 & Milano

C58

Muzzle: Suppressor
Barrel: 18.5” Task Force
Optic: Axial Arms 3x
Ammunition: STANAG 55 Rnd
Rear Grip: Airborne Elastic Wrap

Season 4 brought about not one, but two really strong weapons for mid-to-long-range engagements. Check out our comprehensive Warzone C58 loadout guide for more on how to run this weapon, but what you really need to know is it’s a versatile weapon that’ll serve you extremely well when you're in the flow of a game.

Milano 821

Muzzle: Agency Suppressor
Barrel: 10.5” Ranger
Stock: Raider Stock
Underbarrel: Field Agent Grip
Ammunition: STANAG 55 Rnd Drum

The Milano was buffed for Season 4, and to celebrate, you should use it! It’s not going to beat out the big dogs with regards to time-to-kill, but it’s extremely easy to use with some fantastic mobility, and can actually win you gunfights now, unlike before.

CR-56 AMAX & Nail Gun

CR-56 AMAX

Muzzle: Monolithic Suppressor
Barrel: XRK Zodiac S440
Optic: VLK 3.0x Optic
Underbarrel: Commando Foregrip
Ammunition: 45 Round Mags

The king is not dead. Don’t let anyone tell you the AMAX is unviable now, it’s just been pegged back to let other weapons into the meta. You can still shred enemies at range with this gun, though, and if you’ve got used to it throughout the last meta, it’s going to help you out in Season 4 as well. You’ll need to get 3 gunbutt kills with an AR in 10 different matches to unlock it, but the grind is still worth it.

Nail Gun

The Nail Gun doesn’t come with any attachments, so there’s not a whole lot to mess around with here. What it does do is blow enemies to smithereens with one of the fastest time-to-kills in the game. It’s also hilariously satisfying to use. You’re shooting heavily-armoured soldiers with a nail gun. Come on.

CR-56 AMAX & MP5 (CW)

CR-56 AMAX

Muzzle: Monolithic Suppressor
Barrel: XRK Zodiac S440
Optic: VLK 3.0x Optic
Underbarrel: Commando Foregrip
Ammunition: 45 Round Mags

Unsurprisingly, the CR-56 AMAX is still worth using after the recent round of nerfs. If you prefer engaging in mid-ranged firefights, try this firearm in your next match. This AR is fully automatic and it manages to deal even more damage than the standard M4A1. You need to unlock it by getting 3 gunbutt kills while using an assault rifle in 10 different matches, but it's worth the grind.

MP5 (Cold War)

Muzzle: Agency Suppressor
Barrel: 9.5" Task Force
Stock: Raider Stock
Underbarrel: Field Agent Grip
Ammunition: STANAG 50 Rnd Drum

The MP5 is often the go-to SMG, courtesy of its low recoil and impressive fire rate. It's managed to outlive the MAC-10 and AK-74u, and remains as a reliable constant in Warzone's meta.

AK-47 (CW) & Kar98k

AK-47 (Cold War)

Muzzle: GRU Suppressor
Barrel: 15.5” Ultralight
Stock: KGB Skeletal Stock
Underbarrel: Spetsnaz Speedgrip
Ammunition: Bakelite 60 Rnd

The AK-47 is effective at most ranges, but you'd be surprised how well it performs from close up. With this loadout, the Cold War AK has a surprisingly fast strafe and movement speed thanks to the Ultralight barrel and KGB Skeletal Stock, so give it a go alongside a speedy sniper like the Kar98k and you’ll have a brilliant time.

Kar98k

Muzzle: Monolithic Suppressor
Barrel: Singuard Custom 27.6"
Laser: Tac Laser
Optic: Sniper Scope
Stock: FTAC Sport Comb

The Kar98k is the best Warzone Marksman rifle, as it's very reliable when you need to pick off enemies in the distance. This particular setup increases your ADS speed, so if you spot an opponent, you can take them down instantly. It’s shockingly fast compared to other sniper rifles, but remember that you’ll need to account for bullet velocity much more than with heavier rifles like the HDR.

Krig 6 & Bullfrog

Krig 6

Muzzle: Agency Suppressor
Barrel: 19.7" Ranger
Optic: SUSAT Multizoom
Underbarrel: Field Agent Grip
Ammunition: STANAG 60 Rnd

If you're on the hunt for an AR with high accuracy and low recoil the Krig 6 won't let you down. It's worth calling in your personal loadout drop to benefit from the range buffs in this setup, especially the Ranger barrel and Field Agent Grip. But remember: This all comes at the cost of mobility, so be sure to find some cover before engaging with another squad.

Bullfrog

Muzzle: GRU Suppressor
Barrel: 7.4" Task Force
Optic: Millstop Reflex
Stock: KGB Skeletal Stock
Ammunition: 65 Rnd

The Bullfrog remains up there as a top SMG, and it pairs perfectly with the long-range Krig. With a big ol’ magazine capacity and great range for an SMG, this one is great to switch to while you run around indoors, or to follow up on shots if you run out of ammunition in your primary weapon at range.

RAM-7 & LC10

RAM-7

Muzzle: Monolithic Suppressor
Barrel: FSS Ranger
Optic: VLK 3.0x Optic
Underbarrel: Commando Foregrip
Ammunition: 50 Round Mags

The RAM-7 may be an assault rifle from Modern Warfare, but it has no trouble holding its own in Warzone Season 4. To this day it offers respectable range and accuracy compared to others in its class, making it the perfect companion for SMGs and other ARs.

MP5 (Cold War)

Muzzle: Agency Suppressor
Laser: Tiger Team Spotlight
Grip: Serpent Grip
Stock: Raider Stock
Ammunition: STANAG 50 Rnd Drum

The Cold War MP5 still packs a brutal punch indoors and at close ranges, with the likes of the Raider Stock, Serpent Grip, and Tiger Team Spotlight all doing wonders for the weapon’s mobility and your movement speed. Get it out when your RAM-7 feels that little bit too cumbersome close up.

M4A1 & FFAR 1

M4A1

Muzzle: Monolithic Suppressor
Barrel: Stock M16 Grenadier
Laser: Tac Laser
Underbarrel: Commando Foregrip
Ammunition: 60 Round Mags

The M4A1 was the best all-rounder when Warzone released, and it's still a competitive assault rifle when it's decked out with the best attachments. If stealth is your style, this build has excellent stability while remaining silent. There's room to customise it to support more aggressive builds, just take a look at our best M4A1 loadouts for more choices.

FFAR 1

Muzzle: Agency Suppressor
Barrel: 19.5" Task Force
Stock: Raider Stock
Ammunition: Salvo 50 Rnd Fast Mag
Rear Grip: Speed Tape

The FFAR 1's quick fire rate and snappy reload speeds make it feel closer to an SMG than an assault rifle. This loadout supports the M4A1, while extending your magazine to ensure you have enough bullets to take down an enemy squad before you need to reload. It’s no longer the meta-ruining monster it once was, but the FFAR still feels good to wield as an SMG replacement. For a more detailed breakdown, check out our other best Warzone FFAR 1 loadouts.

Stoner 63 & PPSh-41

Stoner 63

Muzzle: Agency Suppressor
Barrel: 21.8" Task Force
Optic: Axial Arms 3x
Underbarrel: Field Agent Grip
Ammunition: Fast Mag

Often slept on, and even more so now the MG 82 is in the meta, the Stoner 63 undoubtedly has what it takes to steal the show in Warzone Season 4. It can down an entire squad without the need to reload, and the damage combined with your excellent accuracy can completely dominate at long range.

PPSh-41

Muzzle: Sound Suppressor
Laser: Tiger Team Spotlight
Stock: Raider Stock
Underbarrel: Bruiser Grip
Ammunition: 55 Rnd Drum

The PSSh-41 can take out enemies quickly, especially when they're right on top of you. It's also very easy to control, and you won't need to restrict your movement to yield good results. For more ideas on how to round off your build, check out our best PPSh-41 Warzone loadouts.

ZRG 20mm & Sykov

ZRG 20mm

Muzzle: Sound Moderator
Barrel: 43.9" Combat Recon
Optic: Royal & Kross 4x
Ammunition: 5 Rnd
Rear Grip: Airborne Elastic Wrap

The HDR has been many Warzone players' favourite sniper rifle for a while now, but it's time to switch to the ZRG 20mm. It has the least bullet drop without having to compromise range, and last season’s buffs made it even better leading to an extremely speedy bullet velocity. If you need help choosing attachments for this gun, we have a page for the best ZRG 20mm Warzone loadouts.

Sykov (Single)

Muzzle: Monolithic Suppressor
Barrel: Sorokin 140mm Auto
Laser: Tac Laser
Ammunition: 80 Round Drums
Rear Grip: VLK Prizrak

The Sykov pistol isn't quite as potent as it was when it was first released, but it's still worth saving a spot for it. Now that we're over dual-wielding it using the Akimbo perk, we can focus on its single build. It's an aggressive little firearm that deals impressive damage. You'll want to equip its whopping 80 Round Drums to take full advantage of its stellar fire rate. These are the best Sykov Warzone loadouts, if you want to explore alternative setups.

LW3 - Tundra & FARA 83

LW3 - Tundra

Muzzle: Wrapped Suppressor
Barrel: 29.1" Combat Recon
Laser: SWAT 5mw Laser Sight
Optic: Royal & Kross 4x
Rear Grip: Airborne Elastic Wrap

The LW3 - Tundra came into the meta shortly after it was discovered that its bullet velocity beat that of the HDR, a favourite from Modern Warfare. This Cold War sniper rifle offers one-shot headshots as well as a ridiculous range, making it a lot of people’s favourite long-range weapon.

FARA-83

Muzzle: Suppressor
Laser: Tiger Team Spotlight
Underbarrel: Bruiser Grip
Ammunition: Spetsnaz 60 Rnd
Stock: KGB Skeletal Stock

Just like the FFAR 1, the FARA 83 works exceptionally well as a sniper support. It's best used to get up close and personal with enemy squads, but it can be customised for medium-long ranges, which I cover in more detail in our best FARA 83 Warzone loadouts guide. You'll really feel the benefit of having the Spetsnaz 60 Rnd extended magazine.

CARV. 2 & AMP 63

CARV.2

Muzzle: Agency Silencer
Barrel: 20.8" Strike Team
Optic: Axial Arms 3x
Underbarrel: Field Agent Foregrip
Ammunition: 45 Rnd Speed Mag

The CARV.2 joined the Tactical Rifle category late in Season 3. It's fun to run alongside a capable rifle, and performs well at medium ranges. You'll have to unlock this weapon by scoring rapid kills, or you can get your hands on it straight away if you buy the blueprint in the store. Either way, once it's in your inventory, pop it into a loadout with your favourite assault rifle and try it out in Verdansk '84. For more builds, take a look at our best CARV.2 Warzone loadouts guide.

AMP 63

Muzzle: Agency Suppressor
Barrel: 6.1” Reinforced Heavy
Laser: Tiger Team Spotlight
Ammunition: STANAG 25 Rnd
Rear Grip: Serpent Wrap

Want a nice automatic pistol and not a fan of the Sykov? Cold War’s AMP63 is the one for you. All you need to know is that this thing can go toe-to-toe with SMGs close up and allow you to run Ghost or Restock. What a treat.

Perks

E.O.D
E.O.D reduces the damage you take from non-killstreak explosives and fire, making it a popular choice for most loadouts. There are other options, but for the most part you’ll have your life saved by this perk more often than not.

Overkill/Ghost
If you want to run two primary weapons in your loadout, you need the Overkill perk. Alternatively, if you're happy to head into Verdansk with a handgun or launcher, it's worth doing so for the Ghost perk. You'll find a Heartbeat Sensor in most players' Tactical slots, and this perk makes sure you're undetectable by Heartbeat Sensors, UAVs, and Radar Drones.

Amped
Amped is useful in almost every single class in Warzone. If you're not using a pistol, that fast weapon swap speed is extremely important and can absolutely change gunfights in your favour. Getting that extra few frames to start shooting your secondary is often a life-and-death situation, and Amped has saved the skin of many a player.

Lethal & Tactical

Lethal: Thermite/C4/Semtex
Thermite is currently the meta choice, and it's easy to understand why. It's perfect for finishing off injured opponents quickly. If you're not a fan, C4 is a good alternative. This explosive can also be tossed on roofs to take out multiple squad members at once. That said, I prefer using a Semtex as it's easier to throw it at moving targets.

Tactical: Heartbeat Sensor
Verdansk is a large map, and even when you're skulking around indoors it can be very difficult to locate your enemies. Sniffing out the competition is much easier with the help of the Heartbeat Sensor, which also happens to be the best Tactical in Warzone. Just remember: Enemies with Ghost won’t show up, so keep an ear out for footsteps, too.
