Best Basilisk loadout for Warzone

Warzone has a wide variety of weapons, and the best Basilisk loadout can prove to be a strong choice for your Secondary slot.

Previously, the weapon was a meta option thanks to its overpowered Akimbo and Snakeshot attachment combo, but it fell down the rankings following major nerfs. Now, it has returned as a viable pick to cover close-range engagements.

Best Warzone Basilisk loadout attachments

• Barrel: 10.5″ FTAC Arrow
• Optic: Corio RV500 Optic
• Trigger Action: Bryson HTA
• Laser: Corvus LZR-790
• Ammunition: .500 High Grain Rounds

To maximize the Basilisk’s potential, we equipped the 10.5″ FTAC Arrow Barrel to improve bullet velocity, range, and movement speed. Paired with the Corvus LZR-790 laser you should have no problem hitting your shots with improved aiming stability and ADS speed.

The .500 High Grain Rounds ammunition will further improve the gun’s range and bullet velocity. Meanwhile, the Bryson HTA Trigger Action is a great pick to boost the fire rate and trigger response time.

Lastly, I picked the Corio RV500 Optic which allows me to hit shots accurately, especially in mid-range encounters. However, you can swap the Optic for one you feel comfortable with, especially if you’re using the gun at close ranges.

On July 10, 2024, the weapon received the JAK Gunslinger Aftermarket Part which provides a better fire rate and ammo capacity. However, players have slammed the attachment stating it’s “absolute trash in all aspects.”

Basilisk loadout best Perks & Equipment

• Perk 1: Double Time
• Perk 2: Sleight of Hand
• Perk 3: Tempered
• Perk 4: High Alert
• Lethal: Semtex
• Tactical: Smoke Grenade

As for Perks, we picked Double Time to grant quick movement, complemented by Sleight of Hand for faster reloads. This proves crucial for secondary weapons like the Basilisk.

Then, to reduce the armor plates required for full health I selected Tempered, allowing me to recover armor mid-fight easily. Additionally, High Alert will let you know when enemies have you targeted by providing a vision pulse around your field of view.

In terms of Equipment, the Semtex and Smoke Grenades combo is a must. This is effective for dealing with opponents within structures alongside providing a quick escape route.

Best Basilisk alternatives

The WSP Stinger and Renetti are powerful alternatives to the Basilisk in Warzone. Both Handguns have great damage output and mobility allowing you to dominate close-range encounters.

However, if you’re looking to bring in an SMG for close-range gunfights, then the FJX Horus is the way to go.

Make sure to use the best settings along with the loadout, including controller and audio setups to handle your enemy’s moves and hear them more clearly.
