CoD: Warzone 2 And DMZ Best Weapon Loadouts And Attachment Tuning
Here are some recommended loadouts and weapon tuning for Season 3 of Warzone 2 and DMZ
M4
The M4 has returned as a top-tier assault rifle choice for medium- to long-range gunfights. This is a fairly easy-to-use weapon, and the recommended attachments will help boost ammo count, ADS speed, and bullet velocity to make the M4 even better to use. This is a solid build for any mode, but this is perfect for those long-range fights in DMZ or battle royale on Al Mazrah.
Recommended M4 attachments:
- Muzzle: Harbinger D20
- Barrel: Hightower 20" barrel
- Optic: AIM OP-V4
- Rear Grip: Sakin ZX Grip
- Magazine: 60 Round Mag
For further tuning, you can tune the muzzle with the left slider favoring recoil smoothness at +0.78, while the bottom slider is tuned towards bullet velocity at +0.80.
The barrel can be tuned with the left slider adjusted towards recoil steadiness at +0.20, and the bottom slider at +0.26 towards damage range.
For the optic, tune the left slider towards aim down sight speed at -1.05, while adjusting the bottom slider to -1.65 towards far. (Some players chose to max out the slider towards close instead of far, but it's going to be personal preference whether you want a really close and larger optic instead.)
Finally, tune to rear grip with the left slider favoring recoil steadiness at +0.50, while the bottom slider is tuned towards aiming idle stability at +0.18.
ISO Hemlock
Despite the Season 3 nerf, the ISO Hemlock is still one of Warzone 2's most powerful assault rifle options, but you'll want to switch up some attachments this season. The recommended attachments will help boost bullet velocity and damage range.
Recommended ISO Hemlock attachments:
- Muzzle: Harbinger D20
- Barrel: Fielder-T50
- Optic: AIM OP-V4
- Rear Grip: Sakin ZX Grip
- Magazine: 45 Round Mag

For the optic, tune the left slider towards aim down sight speed at -2.16, while adjusting the bottom slider to -1.65 towards far. (Some players chose to max out the slider towards close instead of far, but it's going to be personal preference whether you want a really close and larger optic instead.)
The rear grip can be fine tuned by adjusting the left slider to +0.50 towards recoil steadiness, while tuning the bottom slider to +0.15 towards aiming idle stability.
Sakin MG38
The Sakin MG38 light machine gun is the top option for light machine guns to use in Warzone 2, especially as a long-range powerhouse for Al Mazrah or for mowing down AI in DMZ. The recommended attachments will help with mobility and control.

For the rear grip, the Bruen G305 Grip Wrap can be adjusted with the left slider favoring recoil steadiness at +0.52, and the bottom slider at +0.28 of aiming idle stability.
Vel 46
The Vel 46 is now one of the best close-range options in Warzone 2, especially after the added headshot damage buff for the Season 3 update. The recommended attachments will help you make the most out of the weapons mobility, while also helping with recoil control.

Bas-P

(Some players chose to max out the slider towards close instead of far, but it's going to be personal preference whether you want a really close and larger optic instead.)
The rear grip can be adjusted by tuning the left slider to +0.80 recoil steadiness, while the bottom slider to +0.20 towards aiming idle stability.
MCPR-300
One of the overall best sniper rifles in Warzone 2 is the MCPR-300, and the Season 3 buff with added explosive ammo makes this an even more powerful sniper capable of knocking players with one-shot headshots.

FJX Imperium
Season 3's new FJX Imperium is the rebranded version of the original Modern Warfare 2's Intervention sniper rifle, and this is also a powerful choice for sniping in battle royale or DMZ. Like the MCPR-300, this is a bolt-action sniper capable of one-hit snipes with the explosive ammo equipped.
