Best Meta Loadouts for COD Warzone Season 2

By newsgame

Call of Duty: Warzone has entered Season 2 with its integration with Black Ops 7, bringing Winter Rebirth Island into the game with new locations and secret Easter Eggs to uncover. Players can also jump into Loaded Resurgence for a fresh game mode, as well as try their luck in Warzone Ranked Play.

Season 2 also introduces new weapons, alongside a range of nerfs and buffs to existing ones. As a result, the meta in Call of Duty: Warzone has shifted once again, allowing some weapons to rise through the ranks. For those looking to stay on top of the ever-shifting meta, here are the best loadouts to use in Warzone Season 2.

How to Get All SG-12 Camos & Attachments in Black Ops 7 & Warzone

Wield the SG-12 in Black Ops 7 & Warzone through the Escalation Directive Event and unlock its camos fast with this simple guide.

Best Hawker HX & M8A1 Loadout

First up is the unconventional pairing of the Hawker HX and the M8A1, two of the last weapons players might expect to use together. With the Hawker HX, players can create a superb infinite one-shot Sniper with the attachments below when landing headshots, making it one of the go-to options in its category when it comes to Black Ops 7 weapons.

As for the M8A1, while it is a burst weapon by default, the full-auto build below absolutely shreds. It offers almost no recoil, 1138.5 m/s bullet velocity for strong long-range potential, and a blistering fire rate that makes it a solid Sniper support option. For a full breakdown of the attachments used in each setup, see below.

Best Hawker HX Build:
- Monolithic Suppressor (Muzzle)
- 23.7″ Composite-11 Barrel (Barrel)
- Flatload Speed Mag (Magazine)
- Auroral Light Grip (Rear Grip)
- .338 LM Overpressured (Fire Mods)
Best M8A1 Build:
- Redwell 5.56 Compensator (Muzzle)
- M8A1 Autostrike-X8 Conversion (Barrel)
- Envoy Foregrip (Underbarrel)
- Redline Capacity Drum (Magazine)
- 5.56 NATO Overpressured (Fire Mods)

Best EGRT-17 & REV-46 Loadout

Next up is a meta pairing of two weapons new to Season 2, the EGRT-17 and the REV-46. Right off the bat, the EGRT-17 is an excellent fast-firing rifle with some of the cleanest iron sights in the game, but it suffers from a fair amount of recoil. This build tones that down while also giving players access to powerful ricochet rounds for improved damage range.

The REV-46 is equally deadly, featuring a rapid fire rate of 1154 RPM along with a very fast TTK. However, while the build below helps reduce its vertical kick, it is still present, so it is best to use the REV-46 within roughly 10 to 25 meters. Here is the best setup for both:

Best EGRT-17 Build:
- Monolithic Suppressor (Muzzle)
- 16.5” Bowen Resistor Barrel (Barrel)
- Fuel Cell-X3 Mag (Magazine)
- Frigate Control Stock (Stock)
- MFS Heated Echo Rounds (Fire Mods)
Best REV-46 Build:
- Lethal Tools ELO (Optic)
- Hawker Series 45 (Muzzle)
- 14.9” Caudal Target Barrel (Barrel)
- Force Stabilizer Handstop (Underbarrel)
- Komodo Drum Mag (Magazine)

Best VS Recon & AK-27 Loadout

For the third setup, we have the VS Recon and the AK-27. While the Hawker HX is currently the king of the Sniper class, the VS Recon is still excellent thanks to the fact that it boasts a one-shot headshot at all ranges by default and offers significantly better handling attributes when built correctly. In terms of versatility at range, however, both are fairly similar.

The AK-27, on the other hand, is a weapon that players can convert into a very dominant close-to-mid-range Assault Rifle if they use the attachments listed below. With improved recoil control and a focus on speeding up the weapon’s aim-down-sight speed, players end up with an aggressive setup that is perfect for Resurgence.

Best VS Recon Build:
- Monolithic Suppressor (Muzzle)
- 23.9” G-Force Barrel (Barrel)
- MFS R-Stop Handguard (Underbarrel)
- Dashline Speed Mag (Magazine)
- 7.62 NATO Overpressured (Fire Mods)
Best AK-27 Build:
- EMT3 Compensator (Muzzle)
- 14” Prism Light Barrel (Barrel)
- Flowguard Foregrip (Underbarrel)
- Epitaph Extended Mag (Magazine)
- Lithe Thin Grip (Rear Grip)

All Win Streak Camo Rewards in COD Warzone

Call of Duty: Warzone has received new Camos for Season 2, which can be unlocked by racking up consecutive wins. Here’s the intel.

Best Maddox RFB & Carbon-57 Loadout

Remaining a top meta contender is the Maddox RFB, one of the go-to Sniper support options from Season 1. With buffs to both its recoil and bullet velocity, it is a strong addition to any player’s loadout in Season 2 and serves as a very viable long-range option.

As for the secondary, the Carbon-57 is another excellent choice, remaining one of the top meta SMGs moving from Season 1 into Season 2. With better damage range than popular options like the Dravec-45, a competitive TTK, and a large magazine to match, it is a very solid pick. Find the best setup for both below.

Best Maddox RFB Build:
- EAM xL Reflex (Optic)
- Monolithic Suppressor (Muzzle)
- 19” Virtuous-OP Barrel (Barrel)
- Mandible Extended Mag (Magazine)
- Buffer Spring (Fire Mods)
Best Carbon-57 Build:
- K&S Compensator (Muzzle)
- Rockleigh Barrel (Barrel)
- Lateral Precision Grip (Underbarrel)
- Compact-246 Fast Mag (Magazine)
- Puck-57 Grip (Rear Grip)

Best M15 MOD 0 & Sturmwolf 45 Loadout

Last up is the M15 MOD 0 and the Sturmwolf 45, the closest thing players can get to an M4 and a UMP-45 in the Black Ops 7 arsenal for Warzone. While often overlooked, the M15 MOD 0 is a beast at mid-to-long range thanks to its fast fire rate, solid DPS, and fairly strong bullet velocity. Its recoil does require some adjustment, however.

As for the Sturmwolf 45, while it is not the fastest-killing weapon in its class, it is stable and offers respectable range for an SMG. With very low recoil, players can focus more on improving handling while also equipping a stealthy suppressor. Read on for the best setup for each.

Best M15 Mod 0 Build:
- EAM xL Reflex (Optic)
- Monolithic Suppressor (Muzzle)
- 16” Reticulated Barrel (Barrel)
- Axis Shift Vertical Foregrip (Underbarrel)
- Bowen Balwark Mag (Magazine)
Best Sturmwolf 45 Build:
- Bowen .45 Suppressor (Muzzle)
- 12.3” Lethal Conflux Barrel (Barrel)
