Best Warzone MG 82 Loadout

Warzone’s MG 82 LMG boasts one of the highest fire rates of its category, making it a powerful choice for your Season 2 Reloaded loadout. Here are the attachments and Perks to make the best Warzone MG 82 loadout and maximize its potential.

Fans of the Automaton are likely to enjoy the MG 82 as it boasts an incredibly high fire rate, having one of the highest in its class. While it only does moderate damage, its fire rate, accuracy, and magazine size more than make up for it.

The MG 82 was nerfed following its brief run as the dominating force in the Warzone meta. However, as of April 12, 2022, it boasts the third-best K/D in the battle royale following a return to form.

With this in mind, here are the attachments and perks you should use to make the best Warzone MG 82 loadout.

Best Warzone MG 82 loadout attachments

MG82 Warzone attachments
  • Muzzle: Agency Suppressor
  • Barrel: 16.4″ Task Force
  • Optic: Axial Arms 3x
  • Underbarrel: Field Agent Grip
  • Rear Grip: Serpent Wrap

There’s no better choice than the Agency Suppressor for the muzzle attachment of the best Warzone MG 82 loadout. Not only does it hide your shots from the minimap, but it also increases the bullet velocity, damage range, and recoil control of the best Warzone MG 82 loadout.

The 16.4″ Task Force barrel is an ideal complement to this silencer. This barrel improves every aspect of the weapon’s long-range potential, giving a massive boost to recoil control, bullet velocity, and damage range.

For the optic, Axial Arms 3x is the perfect magnification for this LMG. You’ll have no issue taking out targets at a distance, but it isn’t so zoomed in that you’ll lose targets at closer distances. And to further help keep your shot on target, you should use the Field Agent Grip.

Lastly, the Serpent Wrap will counteract the LMG’s greatest weakness by speeding up the weapon’s ADS time.

Best Perks & Equipment for Warzone MG 82 class

best warzone mg 82 class perks
  • Perk 1: Double Time
  • Perk 2: Overkill then Restock
  • Perk 3: Amped
  • Lethal Equipment: Semtex
  • Tactical Equipment: Stun

As the MG 82 is a heavy LMG, you’ll move significantly slower than you would with an Assault Rifle. Double Time will increase your Tactical Sprint duration, allowing you to move around the map much faster.

As it’s much slower, the MG 82 won’t be as effective in close-range situations. Overkill will allow you to take a custom SMG along with the LMG straightaway, making you lethal at all ranges.

Then, it would help if you prioritized getting the Restock Perk from another loadout as a Season 2 Reloaded buff has made it extremely powerful thanks to a reduction in recharge time. To maximize Restock’s potential you’ll want to equip the Semtex and Stun equipment.

And finally, Amped will allow you to swap between your two weapons almost instantly.
