  • Muzzle: Wrapped Suppressor
  • Barrel: 22.6″ Combat Recon
  • Underbarrel: Bipod
  • Rear Grip: SASR Jungle Grip
  • Ammunition: 7 Rnd

Our best Warzone M82 loadout class will focus on improving the bullet velocity and bullet drop. We’ll start off with the Wrapped Suppressor to boost its recoil control, bullet velocity, and effective damage range.

We’ll further improve the bullet velocity with the 22.6″ Combat Recon barrel at the cost of a slight reduction in aiming stability. We’ll then bring the weapon’s recoil under control with the Bipod underbarrel.

We picked the SASR Jungle Grip for this loadout because it provides a healthy boost to the weapon’s ADS speed, which is a weakness of most Sniper Rifles.

And finally, as the best Warzone M82 loadout is a semi-automatic sniper rifle, you’ll want to have a few more rounds in the mag. The 7 Rnd magazine is perfect as you’re capable of firing more shots down range without delay, and it offers no negative attribute.

Best perks for Warzone M82 class

  • Perk 1: Double Time
  • Perk 2: Overkill / Ghost
  • Perk 3: Amped

While sniping, repositioning between shots is vital. That’s why we recommend selecting Double Time to increase your Tactical Sprint duration along with your sprinting speed.

It’s always better to pair a Sniper Rifle with an Assault Rifle or SMG for close-range encounters. Overkill will allow you to take two primary weapons from your first loadout. Then you collect Ghost from your next loadout to hide from enemy UAVs.

Finally, you should pick Amped as it allows you to instantly change to your secondary weapon, further increasing your speed on the map.

How to unlock the M82

This is the max level you can reach, so play the game, take advantage of Double XP events, and complete challenges to quickly reach Rank 55. It will then be available for use in Warzone and Cold War.

Best alternatives

If you’re looking for some great alternatives to the best Warzone M82 loadout, then Warzone has many great choices. The Kar98k boasts high bullet velocity, one-shot headshots, and excellent mobility, making it the best Sniper Rifle for controller players.

The Swiss K31 Sniper Rifle is another great pick. It’s got excellent bullet velocity, incredibly fast ADS, and is just as good as the Kar98.
