[Top 15] CoD Warzone Best Loadouts For Kills (2022 Edition)

Updated:

23 Jun 2022

New year, new loadouts!

Season Two is here which means new weapons and updated loadouts! With new features ranging from Nebula V Ammo to Redeploy Ballons, updating your guns is key to surviving the changes you’ll come across in Caldera.

Before we get into the nitty-gritty of your loadouts, it’s best to review any perks, lethals, and tacticals that could use a change from last season. For instance, JGOD suggests E.O.D. for the 1st perk slot because of the heavy use of incendiary rounds in Season One. Pick the next perk with something that suits your playstyle: aggressive (Overkill) vs. passive (Ghost). The last slot should be Amped–for fast weapon swap if you’re running an LMG or sniper. Lethal is up to player preference, but heartbeat sensor or stim is still the top tactical choice.

15. Grau 5.56

Grau starts at 2:34

Paired with the next gun on the list, the Grau will be your trusty sidekick in Warzone. It’s always smart to run Overkill with an SMG primary loadout and MW’s Grau still finds its use even in Season Two. Its high accuracy makes it a dependable choice to swap for the long shots just out of reach of your SMG.

Grau:

Muzzle: Monolithic Suppressor
Barrel: Tempus 26.4” Archangel
Laser: Tac Laser
Underbarrel: Commando Foregrip
Magazine: 60 Rnd Mags

What’s great about this loadout:

Reliable AR
High accuracy
Still an OP MW rifle

14. META Type 100

Type 100 starts at 1:03

This is a new experimental SMG build that offers a ridiculous fire rate. Like other Meta SMGs, the Type 100 shreds at close range because of its fast TTK. Similar to the Season One VG PPSh, you can run the Type 100 as a quick Hipfire build.

Type 100:

Muzzle: Recoil Booster
Barrel: Shiraishi 374mm
Optic: Slate Reflector
Stock: Sakura Type 2
Underbarrel: Carver Foregrip
Magazine: 8mm Kurz 48 Rnd Drm
Ammunition: Hollow Point
Rear Grip: Pine Tar Grip
Perk: Gung-ho
Perk 2: Quick

What’s great about this loadout:

Insane fire rate
Fast on your feet
Run n’ gun setup

13. Meta Diamatti

Diamatti starts at 3:26

Aside from still being a powerful sidearm, the Diamatti makes a case for being your pistol in Rebirth. The fast fire rate makes it feel like a loadout weapon and it’ll better defend you while your grabbing floor loot over the RATT or M1911. People even prefer the new Machine Pistol, but that doesn’t offer the same range, let alone, recoil control as the Diamatti.

Diamatti:

Muzzle: Agency Suppressor
Barrel: 7.2” Task Force
Laser: Ember Sighting Point
Optic: Microflex LED
Magazine: Salvo 30 Rnd Fast Mag

What’s great about this loadout:

High damage
Recoil Control
Ideal CQC secondary

12. STG44 F. Loaded

STG starts at 2:48

The STG is one of the popular Vanguard AR picks in Warzone at the moment. Deadly at medium range, this rifle is a great alternative to the BAR or Automaton. Leveling it up takes no time, considering it’s a common floor loot weapon. It has great control, but I’d run it in an Overkill loadout throwing on a mobile secondary weapon such as the MP40 featured later.

STG44:

Muzzle: Mercury Silencer
Barrel: VDD 760mm 05B
Optic: G16 2.5x
Stock: VDD 27 Precision
Underbarrel: Carver Foregrip
Magazine: 8mm Kurz 45 Rnd Drm
Ammunition: Lengthened
Rear Grip: Polymer Grip
Perk: Vital
Perk 2: Fully Loaded

What’s great about this loadout:

Lethal at med. range
Excellent enemy tracking

11. FINN LMG

Finn starts at 4:14

Most competitive loadouts are either VG SMGs or Sniper Support builds. Rocking an MW LMG is huge! For players who don’t enjoy using the Meta Bren, the Finn has your back. It boasts the 2nd fastest TTK among ARs/LMGs. If you’ve unlocked this gun in the past, but are focused on using Vanguard weapons, the Finn will make you reconsider. IceManIsaac labels it a must-try for solos or duos!

FINN:

Muzzle: Monolithic Suppressor
Barrel: XRK LongShot Adverse
Laser: Tac Laser
Optic: VLK 3.0x Optic
Underbarrel: Commando Foregrip

What’s great about this loadout:

Highly accurate at long range
Top TTK in class
Dominates in solos/duos

10. LR Automaton F. Loaded

Automaton starts at 7:21

This automatic rifle manages to slip right into the top ten. It offers a quick fire rate against the other VG ARs and the huge 75 Rnd Drm mag will help you get more Team Wipes if you’re going into anything above Solos. A lot of players favor the 3-6x scope which makes this fit into the LR class of VG rifles, but I’d recommend an equally fast SMG secondary to help you in CQC combat.

Automaton:

Muzzle: MX Silencer
Barrel: ZAC 600mm BFA
Optic: SVT-40 PU Scope 3-6x
Stock: Anastasia Padded
Underbarrel: M1941 Hand Stop
Magazine: 6.5mm Sakura 75 Rnd Drm
Ammunition: Lengthened
Rear Grip: Polymer Grip
Perk: Tight Grip
Perk 2: Fully Loaded

What’s great about this loadout:

Highly accurate AR
Virtually no recoil

9. CW XM4

XM4 starts at 8:46

If you find yourself wanting an AR to support your Meta SMG build, there’s nothing wrong with the XM4. The Cold War XM4’s shots always seem to find their mark with its low recoil attachments. Slapping on the right scope can make up for your hipfire SMG primary. Controlled shots, a predictable fire pattern, and a high mag size can also improve your chances of making it to the final circle in solos/duos.

XM4:

Muzzle: Agency Suppressor
Barrel: 13.5” Task Force
Optic: Axial Arms 3x
Underbarrel: Field Agent Grip
Magazine: STANAG 60 Rnd

What’s great about this loadout:

Versatile AR
High DMG
Low recoil

8. PPSH-41

PPSH starts at 12:23

The classic Russian SMG holds its own and continues to remain at the top of JGOD’s TTK chart. It's a strong and extremely fast Meta gun at the moment, but be warned–it’s a hipfire build. Ignore the Scope featured, it's merely there because it increases in-game accuracy. This loadout destroys at close range and its large drum mag makes it an easy room cleaner.

PPSH-41:

Muzzle: Oil Can Silencer
Barrel: Kovalevskaya 230mm B031
Optic: SVT-40 PU Scope 3-6x
Stock: Removed Stock
Underbarrel: m1915 Steady
Magazine: Hollow Point
Ammunition: 7.62mm Gorenko 71 Rnd
Rear Grip: Pine Tar Grip
Perk: Tight Grip
Perk 2: Quick

What’s great about this loadout:

Hipfire accuracy king
Fastest TTK

7. Owen Gun

Owen Gun starts at 9:09

Now, a lot of people have a problem with the Owen Gun’s big mag blocking their FOV. This build’s variable scope trick fixes that issue when you switch to the slate option. Your aim gets bumped up and voila, your FOV is over the top of the clunky mag. The Owen Gun’s range and versatility are what makes this SMG beat out the Welgun from making the list.

Owen Gun:

Muzzle: Recoil Booster
Barrel: Gawain 188mm Shrouded
Optic: M38/Slate 2.5x Custom
Stock: Removed Stock
Underbarrel: M1941 Hand Stop
Magazine: 7.62 Gorenko 72 Rnd Drm
Ammunition: Hollow Point or Incendiary
Rear Grip: Polymer Grip
Perk: Steady
Perk 2: Quick

What’s great about this loadout:

Kills in ⅓ of a second
Superior range SMG

6. Meta Bren

Bren starts at 20:03

The Bren is still a top Meta weapon in Warzone, despite a Season Two nerf. Much like the Owen gun’s FOV issue, don’t let the tall mag shy you away. The SVT variable scope helps you regain your vision and keeps you lethal in long-range combat. Keeping a run n’ gun SMG build as your secondary using Overkill will also help you stay more mobile.

Bren:

Muzzle: MX Silencer
Barrel: Queen’s 705mm Royal
Optic: SVT-40 PU Scope 3-6x
Stock: Queen’s Model 11 BH or Hockenson SP2B
Underbarrel: Carver Foregrip
Magazine: 6.5 Sakura 40 Rnd
Ammunition: Lengthened
Rear Grip: Polymer Grip
Perk: Tight Grip
Perk 2: Fully Loaded

What’s great about this loadout:

Min. recoil during heavy fire
Fast kills
Accurate at long range

5. LR Cooper Carbine

Cooper starts at 4:15

This Cooper is a Sniper Support build and features virtually no changes save from its Season One entry. It barely has any recoil which makes it a reliable choice for a VG AR during heavy sustained fire. With its large 60 Round Mag size, you can increase your K/D by getting more kills before you need to reload. For Veteran Warzone players, this is a throwback to your M13 no recoil setups.

Cooper Carbine:

Muzzle: Recoil Booster
Barrel: 22” Cooper Custom
Optic: Slate Reflector
Stock: Removed Stock
Underbarrel: M1941 Hand Stop
Magazine: 9mm 60 Rnd
Ammunition: Compressed Rnds
Rear Grip: Leather Grip
Perk: Tight Grip
Perk 2: Fully Loaded

What’s great about this loadout:

Kitted out for sniper support
Minimal recoil

4. KG M40

KG M40 starts at 0:02

One of the new weapons had to make a top-five appearance, right? Since it’s new, there are many different builds you can create, but JGOD’s video shows why the KG M40 should be in one of your Range loadouts. Overall, the M40 is fun and easy to use no matter what mags you slap on it, but it doesn’t crack into Meta territory when compared to the other ARs out there. Since it’s a range AR, I’d recommend pairing it with something like the Owen Gun build featured earlier.

KG M40:

Muzzle: MX Silencer
Barrel: Reisdorf 720mm Shrouded
Optic: G16 2.5x
Stock: Krausnick 12V
Underbarrel: M1941 Hand Stop
Magazine: .30-06 60 Rnd Drums
Ammunition: Lengthened
Rear Grip: Polymer Grip
Perk: Tight Grip
Perk 2: Fully Loaded

What’s great about this loadout:

Fun, b/c low recoil
Accuracy
Tight recoil pattern
Easy to control

3. MW MP5-10mm

MW MP5 starts at 3:16

Making a comeback, this Modern Warfare MP5 needs to be a staple in your SMG loadout. It remains one of the fastest SMGs in the game despite it being an MW weapon. The high-damage 10mm mag is what’s going to give you the advantage over your enemies. But IceManIsaac recommends using it in Solos or Duos because of its smaller 30-Rnd mag size.

MP5-10mm:

Barrel: Monolithic Integral Suppressor
Stock: FTAC Collapsible
Underbarrel: Operator Foregrip
Magazine: 10mm Auto 30-Rnd Mag
Perk: Sleight of Hand

What’s great about this loadout:

One of the fastest TTK guns
Lethal close-range
Suppressed
Snappy aim

2. MW Kar98k

MW Kar98k starts at 5:02

The Modern Warfare Kar98k continues to be the tried and true sniper of choice. If you’re running a Sniper Support class, like many of the previous builds, this should be your pick. It’s the fastest ADS sniper–356 ms–out there. Even though the Sniper Scope is 4x and the Variable Zoom goes up to 6.2x, I’ve dropped players from 397 meters in Warzone. Like any other gun, it requires skill and handling, but it remains extremely lethal in the right hands.

MW Kar98k:

Muzzle: Monolithic Suppressor
Barrel: Singuard Custom 27.6”
Laser: Tac Laser
Optic: Sniper Scope or Variable Zoom Scope
Stock: STVOL Precision Comb

What’s great about this loadout:

Top one-shot kill sniper
Best long-range option
Highly accurate

1. META MP40

MP40 starts at 6:31

Arguably one of the best SMGs in Warzone, the MP40 secures the top spot! It has your back in those mid-range gunfights where the Welgun and other SMGs don’t seem to. This Meta build caters to Sniper Support making it a deadly duo if paired with the Kar98k loadout above. Nothing comes close to another accurate and mobile SMG while also remaining so lethal.

MP40:
