Call of Duty’s iconic Famas marked its return in MW3 as the FR 5.56 and is also available in Warzone after the integration. If you’re looking for the best loadout for FR 5.56 in Warzone Season 1, here are all the meta attachments for this burst AR, including Perks and Equipment.

Warzone Season 1 is in full swing, bringing a ton of new content and MW3 weapons into the battle royale, much to the excitement of Call of Duty fans worldwide. Much like Warzone’s previous iterations, Assault Rifles, and several long-range weapons have emerged as meta picks.

One of the new ARs to make its way into Warzone from MW3 is the FR 5.56, which is a burst rifle much like the DG-56. However, its exceptional accuracy at long ranges separates this weapon from others in the category.

So, if you’re wondering how to build the best FR 5.56 loadout in Warzone Season 1, here are all the attachments, Perks, and Equipment you need to equip.

Best Warzone FR 5.56 loadout attachments

  • Muzzle: VT-7 Spiritfire Suppressor
  • Barrel: 600mm FR Longbore
  • Optic: Corio Eaglesye 2.5x
  • Underbarrel: Demo Cleanshot 40
  • Magazine: 60 Round Mag

To kick off the best FR 5.56 loadout in Warzone, we equip the VT-7 Spiritfire Suppressor which increases the weapon’s recoil control and bullet velocity while keeping you off the minimap during gunfights. Then, for the Barrel, we recommend using the 600mm FR Longbore, further increasing the bullet velocity along with damage range, which is essential for battle royale.

While running the Optic boils down to personal preference, we’ve gone with the Corio Eaglesye 2.5x, giving you a clean zoom and minimal visual recoil. Next, the Demo Cleanshot 40 significantly improves the aiming idle sway, allowing you to land your shots a lot better with this relatively slow-firing AR. 

Finally, the 60 Round Mag will enable you to stick around during long gunfights and potentially wipe entire squads.

Best Warzone FR 5.56 loadout Perks & Equipment

  • Perk 1: Battle Hardened
  • Perk 2: Double Time
  • Perk 3: Tempered
  • Perk 4: High Alert
  • Lethal Equipment: Semtex
  • Tactical Equipment: Flash Grenade

To complete the best FR 5.56 loadout in Warzone, we’ll need the right Perks and Equipment. While Double Time will allow you to move around Urzikstan quickly for longer intervals, Battle Hardened will nerf the incoming explosive damage.

Tempered has become a go-to choice, allowing you to plate up quickly by using just two plates instead of three. Then, High Alert will notify you when the enemies have you in their line of sight, enabling you to react and take cover in time.

Finally, the Semtex is a strong and reliable choice for Lethal Equipment and the Flash Grenade can disorient the enemies, giving you a few seconds to close the distance and get an easy kill.
