Best Warzone UGM-8 loadout attachments

player firing ugm-8 lmg in warzone and vanguard

Muzzle: MX Silencer
Barrel: Bernard XL214 736mm
Optic: 1229/Slate 3.25x Custom
Stock: Mercier WT Ancre
Underbarrel: M1930 Strife Angled
Magazine: 6.5mm Sakura 125 Round Box
Ammo Type: Lengthened
Rear Grip: Polymer Grip
Perk: Tight Grip
Perk 2: On-Hand

Combing the MX Silencer, Bernard XL214 736mm Barrel, Mercier WT Ancre Stock, Polymer Grip, and M1930 Strife Angled drastically increases the best Warzone UGM-8 loadout’s recoil control and accuracy. This lets you utilize the LMG’s blistering fire rate with more precision, turning it into a laser with a rapid TTK.

The 6.5mm Sakura 125 Round Box also helps in the accuracy department and makes the UGM more forgiving thanks to the extra ammunition. We load them with Lengthened rounds for extra bullet velocity which is essential in long-range fights.

The optic is largely down to personal preference, but we’ve gone for the 1229/Slate 3.25x Custom for the additional recoil control it provides. Finally, in terms of Perks, we’ve got Tight Grip for one final buff to recoil control, and On-Hand lets you pull the gun back out faster after using a Lethal or Tactical.

All in all, by applying these attachments, your UGM-8 LMG will be beaming enough enemies from across the map to rival Warzone’s best Assault Rifles.

Best Perks and Equipment to use with Warzone UGM-8 class

Perk 1: E.O.D
Perk 2: Overkill
Perk 3: Amped
Lethal Equipment: Semtex
Tactical Equipment: Stim

Explosives tend to fly across Caldera, so we recommend using E.O.D for some much-needed resistance to enemy projectiles. Overkill lets you pair the UGM-8 with a close-range option like an SMG or Shotgun. Lastly, Amped allows you to switch between the two guns faster.

When it comes to Equipment, it’s hard to go wrong with Semtex for an easy-to-use lethal, and Stims can offer a welcome health and movement boost perfect for escaping a tough situation.

How to unlock the UGM-8 in Warzone

While the UGM-8 was previously unlocked in the Season 4 Battle Pass, you’ll now need to get 15 bullet penetration kills if you want to get your hands on the LMG during Season 5 Reloaded.

This is extremely easy to complete in Vanguard but Caldera’s walls are paper-thin, so equipping Combat Scout and FMJ should net you the kills if you play for long enough.
