Best Holger 26 Warzone loadout: Class setup, attachments, perks, more

Using a meta Holger 26 loadout can turn the powerful LMG into one of Warzone’s best guns, with its TTK and effective range rivaling the very best Call to Duty has to offer.

Since Modern Warfare 3’s integration, LMGs have played an important role in Warzone’s meta. One of the best examples of this is the Holger 26, which has been the number one option in the meta since the DG-58 LSW was nerfed back in Season 4.

This excellent machine gun offers some of the best accuracy and damage range of any weapon in Modern Warfare 3’s arsenal. This lends itself well to Warzone, where gunfights often take place at long range, especially in Ranked Play.

These strengths led the Holger 26 to become one of the most used weapons throughout both Season 3 and Season 4. That has continued into the current meta and doesn’t look likely to change anytime soon, so you’ll definitely want to try this gun out.

Best Holger 26 Warzone loadout

• Muzzle: Zehmn35 Compensated Flash Hider
• Barrel: Holger Factory Barrel
• Optic: JAK Glassless Optic
• Stock: Ascent Lord Stock
• Underbarrel: Bruen Heavy Support Grip

The Holger 26 is one of the easiest weapons to build in Warzone, as all you need to do is prioritize recoil control without negatively impacting aiming stability. The best attachment for this is the Ascent Lord Stock, which steadies any inaccuracy while firing while also massively increasing recoil control.

Equally, the Bruen Heavy Support Grip and Zehmn35 Compensated Flash Hider make for a great combination to further minimize recoil. When used together, these improve recoil control by about 20%, making the Holger 26 laser accurate at any range.

Next up, equip the Holger Factory Barrel, which is mainly used for the damage range boost it provides. The Holger 26 has a very competitive TTK, so extending its damage range to make it even better at long range is a must.

Finally, the JAK Glassless Optic is still the best overall optic in Warzone. It has crystal-clear sightlines and can help you line up and track enemies at any distance. This is fantastic on a primary like the Holger 26, which excels in long-range gunfights.

Best Holger 26 class: Perks and Equipment

• Perk 1: Double Time – Increases Tac Sprint duration and reduces refresh time.
• Perk 2: Sleight of Hand – Reload faster.

• Perk 4: High Alert – Vision pulses when spotted by an enemy player outside of view.
• Lethal: Frag Grenade
• Tactical: Flash Grenade

Double Time remains the best Perk 1 in Warzone, with the improvements it provides to Tactical Sprint being invaluable when moving around the map. Meanwhile, Sleight of Hand has a natural synergy with LMGs like the Holger 26, as it reduces its brutal reload time, which takes 4.6 seconds without the perk.

For Perk slot 3, Quick Fix is a fantastic choice, with it immediately restoring health every time you use an armor plate. This is great for when you are under pressure and need to heal. Relying on natural health regeneration won’t always be an option, especially in the midst of a heated duel.

In slot 4, High Alert is still a top-tier option after all these seasons, providing intel in the form of directional warnings whenever an enemy player aims in your direction. This will save your life more often than not, making it an obvious choice in a mode like Warzone where death can be so costly.

A Frag Grenade works well in the lethal equipment slot, giving you an excellent tool to clear out a room or lay some damage on an enemy behind cover. A well-placed grenade toss can cause a target to come running right into your crosshairs. Finally, the tactical slot is best used on a Flash Grenade to blind enemies, giving you a huge advantage in most gunfights.

The Holger 26 is unlocked through the armory, first accessible at level 25. After unlocking the armory, activate the Holger 26 and then either complete 5 daily challenges or win 5 matches. Alternatively, finding and extracting the MW3 LMG in zombies will also unlock it.

Best Holger 26 alternative in Warzone

The Bruen Mk9 is a direct competitor to the Holger 26, with both being relatively mobile LMGs that make up for their smaller magazines with superior handling and mobility. The Bruen fires faster, while the Holger is more accurate, ensuring that they both have a place in the meta.
