The long awaited, highly anticipated new Call of Duty: Warzone season is finally here! With new buffs and nerfs comes new metas! In today’s Don’t Miss the Meta installment, I will be covering the top 10 best Warzone metas post season 2 update! We will discuss the new weapons, weapon tuning as well as attachment changes. So, find a comfortable spot where you won’t be bothered, grab a pencil and some paper and let’s get started!

Before we hop into the good stuff, let’s talk about the standard BREN/MP40 combo. Both weapons saw nerfs in the update, the BREN got a slight multiplier nerf where the MP40 got a minor ranger nerf. Even with these miniscule adjustments the BREN is still by far the most dominate long range weapon in Warzone. And theMP40 is still one of the top close-range weapons. Having both weapons on at least one of your loadout classes is still going to be a valid way to drop into Caldera and even Rebirth Island.

Before we jump into the attachments for your BREN/MP40 class let’s look at the perks, lethal and tactical you should be running. On basically all your Warzone loadouts you should have E.O.D, Overkill and Amped as your perks. In some cases, you can get away with replacing E.O.D for double time as your perk one because the incendiary rounds are going to be less beneficial moving forward and E.O.D was the main way to counter that. For your lethal running the throwing knife is going to be the most effective for easy clean ups after you down enemy players. And the Stim Shot is a great choice for run and gun players that are needing to finesse and heal quickly after engagements.

Now that we got the pesky details out of the way lets jump into the meta-attachments!

LOADOUT 1

BREN:

·      Muzzle: MX Silencer

·      Barrel: Queen’s 705mm Royal

·      Optic: Player Preference 

·      Stock: Hockenson SP2B

·      Underbarrel: M1941 Hand Stop

·      Magazine: 6.5 Sakura 40 round Mags

·      Ammunition: Lengthened 

·      Rear Grip: Polymer Grip

·      Perk: Tight Grip

·      Perk 2: Fully Loaded

Players have been using this class for months now. It is straight forward, powerful, fluid and most importantly reliable. One major attachment change you are going to see after the season 2 update is going to be with the muzzle, you are no longer going to run the Mercury Silencer on any of your weapons. Instead, you are going to replace the Mercury Silencer with the MX Silencer. The MX Silencer has better control and velocity and is crucial for long range fights. 

MP40:

·      Muzzle: Recoil Booster

·      Barrel: Krausnick 317mm 04B

·      Optic: Krausnick ISO1M

·      Stock: Folding Stock

·      Underbarrel: Pistol Grip

·      Magazine: 7.62 Gorenko 45 Round Mags

·      Ammunition: Hollow Point

·      Rear Grip: Polymer Grip

·      Perk: Steady

·      Perk 2: Quick OR Fully Loaded

The biggest change to the MP40 and honestly all sub machine guns after the season 2 update is going to be the ammunition. You are going to swap out the Incendiary rounds for the Hollow Point rounds. The nerf to the incendiary rounds was so severe that you are going to lose more gunfights than you will win, because you are hitting shots but dealing less damage than before.  The increase in limb damage that the hollow point rounds offer will allow you to deal more damage no matter where you hit an enemy. 

LOADOUT 2

C58

·      Muzzle: Agency Suppressor

·      Barrel: 18.5” Task Force

·      Optic: Axial Arms 3x

·      Underbarrel: Field Agent Grip

·      Magazine: 45 Round Drum 

The C58 has not changed in forever, it did see a slight recoil nerf in the season 2 update, but it honestly does not feel like it at all. In terms of range, damage, and velocity you can’t go wrong with the C58.

OWEN

·      Muzzle: Recoil Booster

·      Barrel: Hockenson 142mm Rapid

·      Optic: M38/Slate 2.5 Custom

·      Stock: Removed Stock

·      Underbarrel: M1941 Hand Stop

·      Magazine: 7.62 Gorenko 72 Round Drums

·      Ammunition: Hollow Point

·      Rear Grip: Polymer Grip

·      Perk: Acrobatic

·      Perk 2: Quick OR Fully Loaded

The Owen has taken the Warzone community by storm and after the Season 2 MP40 nerf the Owen is truly better than ever. It is easily one of the top two SMGs to use right now.

LOADOUT 3

AMAX (MW)

·      Muzzle: Monolithic Suppressor

·      Barrel: XRK Zodiac S440

·      Optic: VLK 3.0x

·      Underbarrel: Commando Foregrip

·      Magazine: 45 Round Magazine

The AMAX from Modern Warfare is still going strong with an insane amount of damage over range and velocity. All the old Modern Warfare weapons have basic class set ups and that is why you don’t see a lot of attachments on this AMAX class. As my grandfather would say, “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it!”

LAPA

·      Muzzle: Agency Suppressor

·      Barrel:  7.9” Rifled

·      Laser: Tiger Team Spotlight

·      Optic: Microflex LED

·      Magazine: 40 or 50 Round Mag

One of the unfortunate draw backs of the LAPA is you must use an optic due to the iron sights being basically un-useable. This may scare some players away or turn them off from using this weapon. But I promise you the LAPA is a SLAPPA! 

LOADOUT 4

AK-47 (CW)

·      Muzzle: GRU Suppressor

·      Barrel: 20” Spetsnaz RPK Barrel

·      Optic: Axial Arms 3x

·      Underbarrel: Spetsnaz Grip

·      Magazine: 45 Round Mag

The Cold War AK is still dominating the long range meta. And again, since it is a weapon that we have seen in previous Call of Duty: Warzone titles we do not have to spend a ton of time on the attachments. 

PPSH

·      Muzzle: Recoil Booster

·      Barrel: Kovalevskaya 230mm B03P

·      Optic: G16 2.5x

·      Stock: Removed Stock

·      Underbarrel: m1915 Steady 

·      Magazine: 8mm Nambu 71 Round Mags

·      Ammunition: Hollow Point

·      Rear Grip: Pine Tar Grip

·      Perk: Tight Grip

·      Perk 2: Fully Loaded

The PPSH is an absolute hip fire machine! Whether you are running Caldera or Rebirth this is the SMG you are going to want in your back pock for close range gunfights. And remember this is a hip fire class, try not to aim down sights!

LOADOUT 5

XM4 (CW)

·      Muzzle: Agency Suppressor

·      Barrel: 13.5” Task Force

·      Optic: Axial Arms 3x

·      Underbarrel: Field Agent Grip

·      Magazine: 45 Round Mag

The XM4 as we know has been a top meta weapon ever since the Warzone: Pacific update happened. It really has not changed much and is still going to fry. It may have a little bit more recoil compared to some of the Vanguard weapons, but I promise you will not be disappointed in this XM4 class.

CX9 (MW)

·      Muzzle: Monolithic Suppressor

·      Barrel: CX-38

·      Stock: CX-FR

·      Magazine: 50 Round Drums

·      Perk: Sleight of Hand

The CX9 is a little bit of a sleeper weapon. It has good range for an SMG and a high TTK up close. It doesn’t get used a ton, but it can hold its own against the newer Vanguard weapons.

LOADOUT 6

AUTOMATON

·      Muzzle: MX Silencer

·      Barrel: Anastasia Sniper

·      Optic: G16 2.5x

·      Stock: Anastasia Padded

·      Underbarrel: M1941 Hand Stop

·      Magazine: 6.5mm Sakura 75 Round Drums

·      Ammunition: Lengthened

·      Rear Grip: Polymer Grip

·      Perk: Tight Grip

·      Perk 2: Fully Loaded

The Automaton may not be the crazy accurate rifle it once was when Warzone Pacific first dropped but it is still one of the top ARs after the Season 2 Update. It is time to dust this thing off and start dropping bodies on Caldera!

MP40:

·      Muzzle: Recoil Booster

·      Barrel: Krausnick 317mm 04B

·      Optic: Krausnick ISO1M

·      Stock: Folding Stock

·      Underbarrel: Pistol Grip

·      Magazine: 7.62 Gorenko 45 Round Mags

·      Ammunition: Hollow Point

·      Rear Grip: Polymer Grip

·      Perk: Steady

·      Perk 2: Quick OR Fully Loaded

LOADOUT 7

Cooper Carbine

·      Muzzle: MX Silencer

·      Barrel: 22” Cooper Custom

·      Optic: G16 2.5x

·      Stock: Cooper 45RS

·      Underbarrel: M1941 Hand Stop

·      Magazine: 9mm 60 Round Drums

·      Ammunition: Lengthened

·      Rear Grip: Polymer Grip

·      Perk: Hardscope

·      Perk 2: Fully Loaded

The Cooper Carbine has been a beast of a weapon since the beginning of time. This Cooper Carbine in specific is going to be a sniper support class. You can use this class for long and medium range engagements as well. It is all around a solid build for any situation you may find yourself in.

KAR-98 (MW)

·      Muzzle: Monolithic Suppressor 

·      Barrel: Singuard Custom 27.6”

·      Laser: Tac Laser

·      Optic: Sniper Scope

·      Perk: Focus

This KAR class is straight forward. There’s no tricks or gimmicks to this one. When it comes down to it this KAR class is going to pack a punch no matter the distance it is going to stay consistent. 

LOADOUT 8

KG M40

·      Muzzle: MX Silencer

·      Barrel: Reisdorf 720mm Shrouded

·      Optic: Player Preference 

·      Stock: VOD 22G Padded

·      Underbarrel: M1941 Hand Stop

·      Magazine: 8mm Klauser 60 Round Drums

·      Ammunition: Lengthened

·      Rear Grip: Polymer Grip

·      Perk: Tight Grip

·      Perk 2: Fully Loaded

This is a brand-new weapon! It may not be the best LMG to use, it is considered mid-tier compared to a lot of the rifles in Warzone but if you are interested in using the new gun this is going to be the class set up you are going to want to run.

Welgun

·      Muzzle: Recoil Booster

·      Barrel: 120mm Gawain Short

·      Optic: Slate Reflector

·      Stock: Gawain Skeletal

·      Underbarrel: M1941 Hand Stop

·      Magazine: 7.62 Gorenko 40 Round Mag

·      Ammunition: Hollow Point

·      Rear Grip: Polymer Grip

·      Perk: Acrobatic

·      Perk 2: Quick

The Welgun has been valid for quite some time now. This class is built for close range dominance. Run around the map with this weapon in your hands and have no mercy!

LOADOUT 9

Whitley

·      Muzzle: MX Silencer

·      Barrel: 28” Gracey Mk. 9

·      Optic:  SVT-40 PU Scope 3-6x

·      Stock: CGC R4

·      Underbarrel: M1941 Hand Stop

·      Magazine: .303 British 45 Round Mags

·      Ammunition: Lengthened 

·      Rear Grip: Polymer Grip

·      Perk: Hardscope

·      Perk 2: Fully Loaded

When it comes to the new weapons the Whitley is going to be your best option. It is hands down better than the KG M40. The Whitley has a high TTK, decent control and deals a significant amount of damage.

OWEN

·      Muzzle: Recoil Booster

·      Barrel: Hockenson 142mm Rapid

·      Optic: M38/Slate 2.5 Custom

·      Stock: Removed Stock

·      Underbarrel: M1941 Hand Stop

·      Magazine: 7.62 Gorenko 72 Round Drums

·      Ammunition: Hollow Point

·      Rear Grip: Polymer Grip

·      Perk: Acrobatic

·      Perk 2: Quick OR Fully Loaded

LOADOUT 10

You may look at this next class with a bit of confusion and that’s all right. Let me explain. This STG/Machine Pistol class is what I like to call a “regain” class set up. This is the class you are going to grab after a Gulag win, when you are looking for max ammo and a reliable AR. You should 100% be using any of the other 9 classes we talked about before you use this one if you are looking to slay out and win the game.

STG44

·      Muzzle: MX Silencer

·      Barrel: VDD 760mm 05B

·      Optic: G16 2.5x

·      Stock: VDD 34S Weighted

·      Underbarrel: M1941 Hand Stop

·      Magazine: 8mm Kurz 60 Round Drums

·      Ammunition: Lengthened

·      Rear Grip: Polymer Grip

·      Perk: Acrobatic or Sleight of Hand

·      Perk 2: Fully Loaded

Machine Pistol

·      Muzzle: M1929 Silencer

·      Barrel: VDD 140mm HE

·      Optic: 1229/Slate 3.25x Custom

·      Ammunition: Hollow Point

·      Rear Grip: Pine Tar Grip

·      Perk: Akimbo

·      Perk 2: Fully Loaded
