Best MTZ-556 Warzone loadout: Class setup, attachments, perks

The MTZ-556 has been one of the best assault rifles in Warzone since its buffs back in Season 3, and that remains the case for Season 4 Reloaded, especially if you use this meta loadout.

For most of Warzone’s history, the MTZ-556 has been a decent but unspectacular option. The combination of its lower damage range and high recoil made it better suited to multiplayer’s meta than Warzone.

However, the MTZ-556 has since received several consecutive buffs across both Season 4 and Season 4 Reloaded. These big boosts to damage range, damage multipliers, and bullet velocity have ensured the once-irrelevant AR is now a meta option.

To make sure that you get the most out of this top-tier assault rifle, you’ll want to use this MTZ-556 loadout which can dominate any Warzone lobby.

Best MTZ-556 Warzone loadout

Here’s the best MTZ-556 loadout to make the meta AR excel at just about any range:

• Muzzle: Casus Brake
• Barrel: MTZ Drifter Heavy Long Barrel
• Underbarrel: Bruen Heavy Support Grip
• Stock: MTZ Marauder Stock
• Magazine: 50 Round Drum

Bringing out the accuracy for the MTZ-556 is going to be the best part of this loadout, so you can land shots at long ranges. To do this, you’ll want to use the Casus Brake, which noticeably improves both recoil control and firing aim stability.

Equally, the Bruen Heavy Support Grip provides even more vertical and horizontal recoil control, which will keep your shots stable when shooting at enemies from afar. This combination makes the MTZ-556 extremely accurate while retaining its above-average handling and mobility stats.

To make sure those long-range shots are dealing enough damage to consistently down enemies, the MTZ Drifter Heavy Long Barrel is a must. This powerful barrel attachment boosts damage range and significantly boosts bullet velocity, making it much easier to take out enemy players from far away.

Finally, the 50 Round Drum is the largest magazine attachment available on the MTZ-556. It’s a great option, as it allows you to keep firing without having to stop to reload. This attachment is especially important in Trios and Quads, where larger magazines are often necessary to take down the larger squads found in those modes.

Best MTZ-556 Warzone class: Perks and equipment

These are the best perks and equipment to use with the MTZ-556:

• Perk 1: Double Time – Increases Tac Sprint duration and reduces refresh time.
• Perk 2: Sleight of Hand – Reload faster.
• Perk 3: Quick Fix – Killing players or inserting a plate immediately starts health regeneration.
• Perk 4: Resolute – When taking damage from gunfire, provides a small bonus to movement speed.
• Lethal: Sticky Grenade
• Tactical: Battle Rage

Using Double Time will help you cover long distances faster, so you don’t get shot at while you run across open areas. If that alone doesn’t keep you alive, Resolute provides a reliable backup, letting you run faster when being shot at by any enemy squad.

Similarly, you will be able to reload a lot faster with Sleight of Hand, which is always useful to avoid getting caught out reloading. The last recommended perk is Quick Fix, which immediately begins health regeneration after getting a kill or even just inserting an Armor Plate.

As for equipment, a Sticky Grenade is a classic option that provides a strong lethal to pressure other teams with. Finally, Battle Rage is an underrated piece of equipment that improves several key stats while active, including Tactical Sprint refresh time, damage resistance, and tactical equipment resistance.
