We’ll start off this Warzone 3-Line loadout by equipping the Mercury Silencer muzzle, Kovalevskaya 820mm R1MN barrel, and Lengthened ammo type to give a boost to the weapon’s bullet velocity.
The Kovalevskaya S01 stock, Fabric Grip, and Heavy Foregrip underbarrel will stabilize the weapon. For our choice of ammo, we went with the .30-06 30 Round Mags to ensure that we have plenty of ammo to eliminate multiple targets.
We’ll equip the Silent Focus perk to improve stability even more, and On-Hand will decrease the cooldown time after using Equipment.
Best Warzone 3-Line Rifle Perks & Equipment
- Perk 1: E.O.D
- Perk 2: Overkill
- Perk 3: Amped
- Lethal Equipment: Semtex
- Tactical Equipment: Stim
First, you’ll want to make sure that you have E.O.D to protect you from a bombardment of explosives. Next, you should run Overkill so that you can grab a sniper support weapon like the Marco 5, and Amped to swap between the two weapons extremely fast.
For Lethal Equipment, we recommend Semtex in regular Battle Royale to dish out additional damage. A Stim will come in handy if you need a quick health and speed boost during battles.
How to unlock the 3-Line Rifle in Warzone
