Let's dive into the Meta!

With Season 2 dropping on February 14th, you want to make sure you’re geared up with the right loadouts. JGOD’s setups help keep my K/D positive, whether you’re looking for something versatile or the fastest TTK, let’s take a look at the top 5

5. Hipfire VG PPSh + AR

JGOD's experimental VG PPSH starts at 0:09

Right out the gate, this is something you should try. It’s currently the fastest TTK SMG and worth having as an experimental loadout. The PPSh delivers centered kills from the hip up to 15-20 meters out which means you’re covered at close range. JGOD considers this gun to be one of the Meta SMGS to have in your arsenal; just make sure you pair it up with a reliable AR, such as the XM4, BAR, or NZ41, as your secondary using Overkill. 

The following perks, lethals, and tacticals are really interchangeable among the top 5 loadouts, but use what suits your play strategy. JGOD recommends either E.O.D. or Cold Blooded as the 1st perk slot, followed by either Overkill–to run two primaries–or Ghost, and either Combat Scout or Amped–for fast weapon swap–for the last slot. Lethal is up to player preference, but heartbeat sensor or stim is still his top choice for tactical 

VG PPSh:

• Muzzle: Recoil Booster
• Barrel: Empress 140mm Rapid
• Optic: M38/Slate 2.5x Custom
• Stock: Removed Stock
• Underbarrel: SMLE Pistol Grip
• Magazine: 7.62mm Gorenko 71 Rnd Mags
• Ammunition: Incendiary
• Rear Grip: Pine Tar
• Perk: Tight Grip
• Perk 2: Quick 

What's great about this loadout:

• Fastest TTK SMG
• Tight hipfire spread
• Dmg per mag

4. Cooper Carbine

Cooper Carbine starts at 5:48 

This long-range AR has quickly reached Absolute Meta territory during Season 1 of Warzone Pacific. Don’t let the fact that it’s floor loot fool you! According to WZranked, a site JGOD features in his videos, it’s the top picked VG AR with a K/D ratio of 1.02. There’s nothing wrong with grabbing a base Cooper Carbine. It’s easy to level up naturally and it slaps after throwing some late unlocks on it.

Cooper Carbine:

• Muzzle: Recoil Booster
• Barrel: 14” Gracey Rapid
• Optic: Slate Reflector
• Stock: Removed Stock
• Underbarrel: m1941 Hand Stop
• Magazine: 9mm 60 Rnd Drums
• Ammunition: Compressed Rounds
• Rear Grip: Leather Grip
• Perk: Tight Grip
• Perk 2: Fully Loaded

What’s great about this loadout:

• Highly versatile
• Almost no recoil
• Kitted out for sniper support

3. MP40 

MP0 setup starts at 10:35

Unlike the experimental hipfire PPSh that came in at #5, JGOD’s MP40 is built to ADS. This SMG setup is based on its accuracy as well as its lethal fire rate, making it less spray-n-pray and all the more precise. Paired up with the Bren, the two make a killer combo. 

MP40:

• Muzzle: Recoil Booster
• Barrel: Krausnick 317mm 04B
• Optic: Slate Reflector
• Stock: Krausnick 33M Folding/Removed Stock
• Underbarrel: Mark VI Skeletal
• Magazine: Incendiary
• Ammunition: 7.62 Gorenko 45 Rnd Mags
• Rear Grip: Polymer Grip
• Perk: Unmarked/Momentum
• Perk 2: Quick

What’s great about this loadout:

• Clean pop shots
• Fast fire rate
• Lethal at close range

2. Bren

Bren setup starts at 10:51

If you need a break from CW’s Meta MG82, then the Bren is a must-try! Much like the Owen gun, don’t let the mag’s location shy you away. JGOD’s Bren build kills very fast and is easy to use. The fact that it’s lethal at such long-range as an LMG makes it competitive against Sniper Support builds. 

Bren:

• Muzzle: Mercury Silencer
• Barrel: Queen’s 705mm Royal
• Optic: SVT-40 PU Scope 3-6x
• Stock: Hockenson SP2B
• Underbarrel: m1941 Hand Stop
• Magazine: Lengthened
• Rear Grip: Polymer Grip
• Perk: Tight Grip
• Perk 2: On-Hand

What’s great about this loadout:

• Fast kills
• Easy to use
• Accurate at long range
• Min. recoil during heavy fire

1. AS44

AS44 Meta gameplay starts at 1:37

Much like in Vanguard, I find myself leaning toward the AS44 for my go-to AR build. Having maxed out the STG44 and not knowing which gun to grind next, JGOD’s AS44 setup has me completely sold. Its accuracy and tight control help make it an extremely fun primary if you don’t want to model JGOD’s sniper support pairing.

AS44:

• Muzzle: Mercury Silencer
• Barrel: None, unless running a hip-fire build
• Optic: Slate Reflector
• Stock: ZAC 12B Custom
• Underbarrel: m1941 Hand Stop
• Magazine: Lengthened
• Ammunition: .30 Russian Short 60 Rnd
• Rear Grip: Stippled Grip
• Perk: Momentum
• Perk 2: On-Hand

What’s great about this loadout:

• Close range (room clearer)
• Accurate long-range option
• Reliable sniper support Meta
