The Carbon 57 is beginning to become a meta SMG in Warzone.
The Carbon 57 has slowly been rising up the ranks in the close range meta of Call of Duty: Warzone. While submachine guns like the MPC-25 and Kogot-7 still reign supreme in the community, players have been taking notice of the Carbon 57 thanks to some recent buffs it received at the tail end of 2025. If you want to try out the Carbon 57 in Warzone, though, you need to ensure you're using its best loadout.
Below, you can see the strongest loadout of attachments for the Carbon 57 in Warzone.
Best loadout for the Carbon 57 in Warzone
The Carbon 57, after its buffs, now has extremely steady recoil, which was its largest problem shortly after Black Ops 7 was released. While its damage range still leaves something to be desired, we can attempt to make it stronger in that area with a key attachment on its loadout. Of course, we also can't forget about mobility, as that's crucial for an SMG in Warzone.
Here's our recommended loadout for the Carbon 57:
- Muzzle: K&S Compensator
- Barrel: 14" Rockleigh Barrel
- Underbarrel: Lateral Precision Grip
- Rear Grip: Bombus Quick Grip
- Fire Mods: Accelerated Recoil System
Loadout Build Code: S05-42HFV-VC51
The loadout we have for the Carbon 57 increases damage range, vertical and horizontal recoil control, and mobility, making it a much stronger weapon across the board. Thanks to the Carbon's default 50-round magazine, we don't have to use a magazine attachment, freeing up an additional attachment slot to improve those other areas.
This loadout for the Carbon 57 will need a strong primary weapon for any long-range gunfights, so make sure to check out our loadout guide for the Sokol 545 light machine gun.
