Our Warzone Pacific KG M40 loadout starts off with the MX Silencer muzzle and Reisdorf 720mm Shrouded barrel to improve the weapon’s bullet velocity, damage range, and recoil control.
The Krausnick 12V, Hatched Grip, and M1941 Hand Stop will make the weapon easier to handle. We went with the 8mm Klauser 60 Round Drums and Lengthened ammo to get more bullets and improve the weapon’s range even further.
For our choice of perks, we went Tight Grip to increase the accuracy for continuous shots when firing and Fully Loaded to start you off with the max ammo. We went with the SVT-40 PU Scope 3-6x for its magnification that lers you pick off enemies from a distance.
Best Perks & Equipment to use with Warzone KG M40
- Perk 1: E.O.D

- Lethal Equipment: Throwing Knife
- Tactical Equipment: Stim
We recommend picking E.O.D in order to survive damage from grenades, rockets, and Semtex that enemies will throw your way. For your next Perk, you should pick Overkill to pair the KG M40 with a close-range SMG such as the Marco 5.
Finally, Amped will make swapping between the two weapons instantaneous. Coming to our choice of Equipment, the Throwing Knife will let you kill downed enemies quickly, and the Stim will replenish your health while granting a speed boost.
