Zofia is an offensive powerhouse. One whose weapons, special gadget, and utilities are all for offense and not so much for team play. But dishing out heavy firepower on enemies is really how Zofia contributes to her team. She’s an excellent roam clearer, crowd control, and flanker.
It’s very hard to beat Zofia one-on-one since she’s really all about offensive capabilities, and in this article, we’re going to discuss the best loadout setups that will definitely provide the player with the best experience when playing this offensive juggernaut of an operator.
5. LMG-E with Scope 2.0x, Muzzle Brake, and Vertical Grip + RG15 with Suppressor Brake and Laser + Breach Charge
The LMG-E used to be Zofia’s best primary weapon, but since the recent recoil progression overhaul, it has become very hard to control. That and its very slow reload animation pushes it back in rankings when it comes to the best Zofia loadouts, but that doesn’t mean it’s not viable for her anymore. With the muzzle brake barrel attachment, its first shot recoil would be greatly lowered, and that has the tendency to stabilize the subsequent shots. And as you can see from the recoil test screenshot below, one could continuously fire 23 bullets with the LMG-E in this setup without losing much control.
So you could think of it as just having an assault rifle or a submachine gun which you can continuously fire for up to 20-30 bullets before reloading. Only, with this one, you wouldn’t need to reload. You will only need to stop shooting when you feel like you’re losing control. So when using Zofia’s LMG-E with this setup, stick to firing in short sprays and you’ll still get to take advantage of its heavy damage, high rate of fire, and huge magazine capacity. As for the suppressed RG15 handgun, it’s a useful utility for shooting defender gadgets like CCTV cameras without compromising your location to the enemies.
Excels in:
- Lowering the first shot recoil of the LMG-E which has a high tendency of stabilizing the overall recoil of its subsequent shots
- Maintaining a good overall vertical recoil control on the LMG-E through the use of the vertical grip attachment
- Providing Zofia with a good amount of zoom level through the scope 2.0x without compromising so much on peripheral view
- Having a great utility in the suppressed RG15 handgun which Zofia can use to shoot defender gadgets without giving away her location
- Breaking large portions of the wooden floor above objective spots through the use of the three breach charges in Zofia’s inventory
Build Details:
- Primary weapon - LMG-E with Scope 2.0x, Muzzle Brake, and Vertical Grip
- Secondary weapon - RG15 with Suppressor Brake and Laser
- Generic gadget - Breach Charge

4. LMG-E with Scope 2.0x, Compensator, and Vertical Grip + RG15 with Suppressor Brake and Laser + Claymore
For those who still prefer the LMG-E as their primary weapon when playing Zofia, this loadout setup is for you because it offers the best recoil control on the weapon. That’s because the compensator barrel attachment stabilizes the overall recoil of the LMG-E by reducing the size of its recoil diamonds, therefore, reducing its tendency for horizontal and random recoil from all directions. With this loadout setup, the user will just have to worry about holding down the weapon’s vertical recoil which will be very manageable to do with the vertical grip present on the weapon as well.
And since the primary weapon in this loadout setup will have loud gunshots, it’ll be best to run with the suppressed RG15 handgun as your secondary weapon. That way, when you want to shoot defender cameras or other gadgets silently, you can just switch to it and that will minimize the risk of enemies knowing where you are. The RG15 handgun also has an excellent stock 1.0x sight which offers pinpoint precision due to its simple center dot reticle, and that’s why this handgun is great for medium to long-range shooting.
Excels in:
- Having the most stable shooting experience with the LMG-E due to the compensator barrel attachment reducing the size of its recoil diamonds
- Maintaining a great deal of vertical recoil control on the LMG-e through the use of the vertical grip attachment
- Providing Zofia with a really good zoom level through the scope 2.0x while maintaining a wide peripheral view
- Being able to shoot defender cameras and other gadgets while minimizing the risk of enemies being alerted to your presence with the use of the suppressed RG15 handgun
- Countering roamers and flankers with the use of the two claymores in Zofia’s generic gadget slot
Build Details:
- Primary weapon - LMG-E with Scope 2.0x, Compensator, and Vertical Grip
- Secondary weapon - RG15 with Suppressor Brake and Laser
- Generic gadget - Claymore

3. M762 with Scope 2.0x, Flash Hider, and Vertical Grip + RG15 with Suppressor Brake and Laser + Breach Charge
Basically, what happened with Zofia is that her LMG-E which used to be a very controllable weapon, now has a very rough recoil, and her M762 assault rifle which used to have a very rough recoil is now very controllable. That is why the M762 is now the best primary weapon for Zofia, and for players who always want to have the best vertical recoil control possible on their weapons because they feel like it’s the best way to handle the weapon’s overall recoil, this loadout setup would be the best. That’s because the flash hider and the vertical grip attachments would be working hand in hand to lower the M762’s vertical recoil.
With the vertical weapon kick of the M762 assault rifle minimized, the user would mostly only have to worry about managing its horizontal and random recoil from all directions. The flash hider would also remove the M762’s muzzle flash, making it harder for enemies to see exactly where you’re shooting them from. This loadout setup is also excellent for performing vertical plays because Zofia would be able to use the breach charges for destroying large portions of the wooden floor above the objective spot, exposing the defenders below or forcing them out of their entrenched positions.
Excels in:
- Minimizing the vertical recoil of the M762 with the flash hider and vertical grip working hand in hand to weaken its vertical recoil
- Making it harder for enemies to see exactly where you’re shooting from with the flash hider removing the M762’s muzzle flash
- Having a really good zoom level on the M762 through the scope 2.0x which provides a good balance between zoom levels and peripheral view
- Having the ability to silently shoot defender cameras and other gadgets with the suppressed RG15 which is also great for fragging enemies at medium to long-range
- Performing vertical plays with Zofia through the use of the three breach charges which she can use to destroy large portions of the wooden floor above the objective spot
Build Details:
- Primary weapon - M762 with Scope 2.0x, Flash Hider, and Vertical Grip
- Secondary weapon - RG15 with Suppressor Brake and Laser
- Generic gadget - Breach Charge

2. M762 with Scope 2.0x, Compensator, and Vertical Grip + RG15 with Suppressor Brake and Laser + Claymore
This loadout setup is in such a high ranking because it offers the best recoil control possible for Zofia’s M762 assault rifle. That’s because the weapon is quite prone to horizontal recoil and the compensator barrel attachment will lower its horizontal and random recoil from all directions by reducing the size of its recoil diamonds. So with less propensity for horizontal and random recoil, the M762 assault rifle in this loadout setup will provide Zofia with a more stable shooting experience, even when it comes to longer sprays.
So when you’re playing Zofia and what you want is to have the best stability and accuracy when using her M762, this loadout setup is for you. The vertical grip will maintain good vertical recoil control on the M762 while the scope 2.0x’s high zoom level will allow you to hit your targets much easier because they will appear bigger on your screen. And even though the scope 2.0x provides a high level of zoom, it’s not too high that the user will be too limited when it comes to peripheral view. As for the claymores, they’re great utilities for countering roamers and flankers as well as run outs when Zofia is rappelling by a window.
Excels in:
- Having the best recoil control possible on the M762 assault rifle with the compensator barrel attachment reducing its horizontal and random recoil from all directions
- Maintaining great vertical recoil control on the M762 assault rifle through the use of the vertical grip attachment
- Being able to see your targets better due to the high zoom level from the scope 2.0x while maintaining a wide peripheral view
- Silently shooting defender gadgets such as cameras with the use of the suppressed RG15 handgun which also offers precision shooting due to its stock 1.0x sight
- Scoring easy kills on roamers, flankers, and defenders who would run out of windows through the use of the two claymores in Zofia’s generic gadget slot
Build Details:
- Primary weapon - M762 with Scope 2.0x, Compensator, and Vertical Grip
- Secondary weapon - RG15 with Suppressor Brake and Laser
- Generic gadget - Claymore

1. M762 with Scope 2.0x, Suppressor, and Vertical Grip + RG15 with Muzzle Brake and Laser + Claymore
Zofia’s special gadget, the KS79 Lifeline, fires two concussion grenades and two impact grenades. Of course, that creates a lot of noise, and they practically advertise the general location of Zofia, so she’s not really the stealthiest operator out there. However, the stealth benefits from the suppressor would still benefit her greatly, because with a suppressor on her M762 assault rifle, she’d be able to shoot enemies without them receiving a directional threat indicator of where she’s shooting from. That usually leads to enemies not being able to react and counter attack immediately and effectively.
The suppressor will also hide the M762’s muzzle flash, making it even harder for enemies to see where exactly Zofia is shooting from. It will also greatly reduce the gunshot sounds from Zofia’s M762, thus making it much harder for enemies to ascertain where Zofia is. The great thing is, as shown in the recoil test screenshot below, even without any additional recoil control benefits from its barrel attachment, the M762’s recoil remains very manageable as long as the vertical grip is present as one of its attachments. So, not only will you be shooting opponents stealthily with this loadout setup, you’ll also be able to hit them with good accuracy and stability.
Excels in:
- Shooting enemies with the M762 assault rifle without providing them a directional threat indicator of where your shots are coming from
- Making it harder for enemies to know your location with the suppressor greatly reducing the gunshot sound of the M762 assault rifle
- Lessening the visual cues that enemies could see when trying to determine your location with the suppressor removing the muzzle flash of the M762
- Having the best recoil control and tight hip fire on the RG15 handgun due to the muzzle brake and laser attachments
- Being able to protect yourself from run outs, roamers, and flankers through the use of the two claymores in Zofia’s inventory
Build Details:
- Primary weapon - M762 with Scope 2.0x, Suppressor, and Vertical Grip
- Secondary weapon - RG15 with Muzzle Brake and Laser
- Generic gadget - Claymore
