The Holger 556 is a powerful Assault Rifle that has proven extremely popular in Warzone as of late, and with a meta loadout, it is easily one of the best weapons altogether.

Warzone Season 6 is the final major update ahead of Black Ops 6, so players will be hoping to finish strong before the new era begins. Based on the fan-favorite G36, the Holger 556 has long wreaked havoc in multiplayer, but it’s no slouch in battle royale either after its latest buff.

So, here’s the best Holger 556 loadout in Warzone, including all the attachments, Perks, and Equipment you need for the meta build.

Best Holger 556 Warzone loadout

  • Muzzle: Zehmn35 Compensated Flash Hider
  • Barrel: Chrios-6 Match
  • Optic: JAK Glassless Optic
  • Underbarrel: Bruen Heavy Support Grip
  • Magazine: 40 Round Mag

With this build, the Holger is virtually unbeatable if you hit your shots.

Assault Rifles are best built for long-range combat, and the Holger 556 is no different. The Chrios-6 Match barrel and the Zehmn35 Compensated Flash Hider greatly improve recoil and vertical kick control, also increasing the damage range, and making those long-range engagements a breeze to win.

Equally, the Bruen Heavy Support Grip will boost the ADS speed while using the weapon, allowing you to move more freely in an engagement. It also provides increased horizontal recoil control.

While the optic you choose is up to personal preference, the JAK Glassless Optic has long since established itself as the meta option. It has a clear reticle and provides easy-to-use sights, giving it an edge over Warzone’s many other options.

Finally, the 40 Round Mag is the largest available on the Holger 556, and a larger magazine is always useful in Warzone. Admittedly, this relatively small magazine can be a hindrance in large-scale team fights, which is something to be mindful of when using this assault rifle.

Best Perks and Equipment

  • Perk 1: Double Time – Increases the duration of your Tac Sprint and reduces its refresh time when not using it.
  • Perk 2: Sleight of Hand – Gives you faster reloading.
  • Perk 3: Quick Fix – Killing players or inserting a plate immediately starts health regeneration.
  • Perk 4: Resolute – Gives you a boost of speed when hit with an enemy gunshot.
  • Lethal: Throwing Knife
  • Tactical: Smoke Grenade

Two of the best perks to run in Warzone if you like to play aggressively are Double Time and Resolute. The former gives you more Tac Sprint while also having it recharge faster, while the latter gives you a burst of speed when hit and can get you out of a sticky situation with ease. Both of these help increase mobility and make it easier to push and escape from other teams.

Quick Fix is another great perk, giving equipped Armor Plates the additional effect of immediately kickstarting health regen, an effect that is also triggered by killing players.

Similarly, Sleight of Hand is incredible on weapons like the Holger 556, as it helps keep your gun loaded at all times, which is especially important given this AR’s smaller magazine capacity. Without this perk, you run the risk of getting caught reloading, which is a death sentence at the best of times.

For equipment, the current Warzone meta still favors a Throwing Knife and Smoke Grenade, so that’s what you should use. Throwing Knives are great for quickly finishing off downed targets without having to waste shots, while a Smoke Grenade can be used to cloak open areas, making it easier to cross them safely.

Most recent buffs and nerfs

The Holger 556 was handed a buff in Warzone Season 6 that improved its maximum damage range from 41.91 to 50.8 meters. Given that range was already one of the AR’s strengths, it should be even more devastating after this change.

Is it in the Warzone meta?

Following its Season 6 buff, the Holger 556 has emerged as a top-tier weapon in Warzone. Although it can’t quite complete with the new DTIR 30-06, it’s comfortably established itself as the second-best long-range gun in the game.

This is partly due to the major nerf given to the STG44, which left a huge gap at the top of the meta that the Holger has gladly filled.

How to unlock the Holger 556

To unlock the Holger 556, you’ll need to reach Level 37. This shouldn’t take long at all, but the process can still be sped up by taking advantage of Double XP weekends and tokens. Alternatively, you can also extract with it in MWZ, and it’ll instantly unlock for use.

Best Holger 556 alternative in Warzone

Aside from the Holger 556, another strong option to use is the MCW, which is even more accurate from long range. The MCW has a slower TTK than the Holger 556, but makes up for it by being the easiest long-range weapon to use in Warzone.
