As we mentioned earlier, the Armaguerra 43 has a blistering fire rate and an impressive TTK. So our setup is geared around keeping its recoil under control and making sure those first shots land every time.
We start with the Recoil Booster, which further increases the rate of fire at the expense of some accuracy, making the SMG utterly devastating at close range. Next up, we went for the Imerito 550mm 03P Barrel, which gives adds a great deal of recoil control, and makes the sway less noticeable.
ActivisionThe Carver Foregrip also helps with keeping the recoil in check and paired with the Imerito TA Skeletal Stock it turns the Armaguerra into a no recoil monster. We decided on a simple Slate Reflector for our optic, but feel free to swap this for whichever sight you feel comfortable with.
Then, our loadout uses 9mm 60 Round Mags. This new weapon chews through ammo at a stunning rate, so the extra capacity is vital. We stocked them with Lengthened ammo to boost the bullet velocity and reduce the TTK even further.
For the Rear Grip, we opted for the Fabric Grip, as this speeds up the ADS and helps you hit your first shots with more accuracy. We round out the loadout with Fully Loaded and Sleight of Hand, to ensure the gun always has plenty of rounds left, and to make reloading a breeze.
Best Armaguerra 43 Vanguard class
Activision- Perk 1: Ghost
- Perk 2: Piercing Vision
- Perk 3: Double Time
- Lethal Equipment: Frag Grenade
- Tactical Equipment: Stun Grenade
Ghost is still one of the most effective Perks in CoD Vanguard, and the ability to hide from enemy UAVs is just as useful with the Armaguerra as it is with any other weapon.
Piercing Vision lets you see enemies through walls once you hit them with a few bullets, making it perfect for clearing out a room of enemies. Meanwhile, Double Time lets you dart around the map with extra Tactical Sprint time, allowing you to get up close and personal with the rival team.
In terms of Equipment, we kept things simple with a Frag Grenade as the Lethal, paired with Stun Grenades as the Tactical. Stuns are an ideal way to get the drop on unsuspecting enemies, simply throw one into a crowded room then run in and clear it out.
How to unlock the Armaguerra 43 in CoD Vanguard
Players can unlock the new SMG by completing a challenge in-game. All you have to do to get your hands on the Armaguerra 43 in Vanguard is score 10 hipfire kills in a single match 15 times.
This may seem like a lot of kills to secure without aiming, but it should be fairly straightforward on close-range maps like Shipment or Das Haus. We recommend equipping another fast-firing SMG to get the job done.
Alternatives to Armaguerra 43 Vanguard loadout
ActivisionIf you’re looking for something with a similarly rapid-fire rate, the PPSH-41 is the best bet. It absolutely shreds at close range, and can its wild recoil can be curbed by equipping the right attachments.
Alternatively, it’s worth trying the other meta SMGs that are dominating multiplayer right now. The MP40 remains top of its class, and the Welgun’s impressive mobility and damage make it ideal for rushing.
