Warzone 2 is in a constant state of flux. With how often updates come for the game, the meta loadout in the game can change frequently.

MW2 and Warzone 2 has one of the biggest selections of weapons in CoD history. This can make it incredibly difficult to find the best weapons to use in the different modes of the game.

What is the best Warzone 2 loadout?

As always, certain loadouts rise to the top of the pack when it comes to meta picks in Warzone 2. The best loadouts for Warzone are always tailored to specific playstyles and that is one of the big reasons behind the game's success.

When the ISO Hemlock came into MW2, it took over the meta. It is one of the most powerful weapons in the game and is loosely based on the ACR from Modern Warfare games gone by.

Best sniper loadout in Warzone 2

In Warzone 2, it is important for a sniper rifle to be both powerful and mobile. The MCPR-300 falls best into both of those categories. With explosive ammunition attached, it keeps its ability to down enemies in a single bullet.

If you want a faster sniper, then the SP-X 80 is the way to go but it will be far less reliable when it comes to taking down foes at range.
