The Warzone Season 2 Reloaded update has arrived, bringing major buffs to the forgotten Bruen Mk9 LMG.

The powerful Bruen Mk9 LMG had its ADS speed, movement speed, and torso damage multiplier buffed with the Reloaded update. As it stands, the Bruen Mk9 is poised to fly up the LMG ranks and could just become one of the best weapons in Warzone.

Here’s the best Bruen Mk9 loadout to help you dominate Warzone Season 2 Reloaded.

Best Warzone Bruen Mk9 loadout attachments

  • Muzzle: VT-7 Spiritfire Suppressor
  • Barrel: 23″ XRK Horizon V2
  • Underbarrel: Bruen Heavy Support Grip
  • Optic: Corio Eagleseye 2.5x
  • Magazine: 60 Round Mag

We begin our best Bruen Mk9 loadout in Warzone with the 23″ XRK Horizon V2 Barrel, buffing the LMG’s bullet velocity to make it a monster at long range while keeping some of its recoil in check.

Next, we’ve doubled down on recoil control with the Bruen Heavy Support Grip and VT-7 Spiritfire Suppressor, making it much more manageable over larger distances.

The Bruen Mk9’s iron sights aren’t for everybody, so we’ve gone for the simple and clean Corio Eagleseye 2.5x, but this could easily be swapped for your preferred Optic. Finally, the 60 Round Mag offers enough ammunition to tackle multiple enemies in quick succession.

Best Warzone Bruen Mk9 loadout Perks & Equipment

  • Perk 1: Double Time
  • Perk 2: Sleight of Hand
  • Perk 3: Quick Fix
  • Perk 4: Ghost
  • Lethal: Semtex
  • Tactical: Smoke Grenade

To complete the best Bruen Mk9 loadout in Warzone, it’s vital to run the ideal Perks. We recommend starting with Double Time to increase your Tactical Sprint duration to make up for the LMG’s heavy nature and Sleight of Hand to speed up reloads.

The Bruen promotes an aggressive playstyle, so Quick Fix will offer a nice health boost anytime you down an enemy or apply a plate. Then, Ghost will keep you hidden from UAVs so you can sneak up on players undetected.

When it comes to Equipment, the Semtex is perfect for racking up a quick kill, while Smoke Grenades provide instant cover for a quick escape.

How to unlock Bruen Mk9 in Warzone

Warzone players can unlock the Bruen Mk9 by hitting Level 31. This can be done by playing battle royale or Resurgence matches within the game, as well as MW3 multiplayer.

While this shouldn’t take too long for those who play regularly, anyone looking to speed up the process can look out for Double XP events to fly through the ranks.
