Despite dominating the Warzone meta for a good chunk of time in Season 2, the MCW has seen a bit of a dropoff, but it’s begun to climb back up to the top for Season 4 Reloaded.

When using the right attachments, the MCW is still a great weapon choice in the game and should not be ignored.

Here is the optimal loadout we have for the gun that will give you the best chance of victory in Warzone Season 4 Reloaded.

Best MCW Warzone loadout

MCW assault rifle in MW3.
The MCW is a remarkably accurate weapon perfectly suited to Warzone’s long-range gunfights.
  • Conversion Kit: JAK Raven Kit
  • Barrel: Kimura Blackiron Heavy Short Barrel
  • Rear Grip: RB Rapidstrike Grip
  • Underbarrel: DR-6 Handstop
  • Magazine: 40 Round Mag

This MCW loadout begins with the JAK Raven Kit to make the weapon a little more efficient while in short- to mid-range combat scenarios. While this does reduce its power from the longest distances, this is completely fine as most skirmishes in Warzne will be closer.

Next up is the Kimura Blackiron Heavy Short Barrel will be a massive help in keeping your shots on-target and make each shot more accurate.

The RB Rapidstrike Grip and DR-6 Handstop are both going to help keep your mobility up-to-par through ADS Speed and movement speed. This is going to make you more accurate on the battlefield to nail your targets when you need to.

Finally, the 40 Round Mag offers you more bullets per magazine, which means that you can keep fire sustained on a target for longer, at the cost of a slight increase to your reload time.
