Best Striker loadout for Warzone Season 5 Reloaded
ActivisionThe Striker is a great SMG pick in Warzone Season 5 Reloaded, especially after nerfs to the Static-HV. It’s capable of dishing out a ton of damage up close and can produce great damage range if you’re running the best attachments for it.
For those looking to get the most out of the SMG, here’s the best Striker loadout.
Best Warzone Striker loadout attachments
- Muzzle: Quartermaster Suppressor
- Barrel: Striker Recon Long Barrel
- Underbarrel: JAK Slash
- Magazine: 48 Round Mag
- Optic: JAK Glassless Optic
To build the best Striker loadout in Warzone, you’ll want the Quartermaster Suppressor Muzzle to stay off the minimap and reduce the gun’s recoil and gun kick for better control. Then, the Striker Recon Long Barrel to increase the bullet velocity and range.
Running the Striker with JAK Slash Aftermarket Part will significantly boost its mobility, which proved great for me on small maps like Rebirth Island, and the JAK Glassless Optic offers a clean sight with some firing aim stability.
Finally, the 48 Round Mag will help you fire back without reloading too much during long gunfights. However, if you’re running out of ammo quickly and don’t mind lowering your mobility, you can swap the mag for the 60 Round Drum, which saved me a ton of times when facing multiple enemies.
Best Striker loadout Perks & Equipment in Warzone
- Perk 1: Double Time
- Perk 2: Mountaineer
- Perk 3: Tempered
- Perk 4: High Alert
- Lethal Equipment: Semtex
- Tactical Equipment: Stim
For Perks and Equipment, start with Double Time, which allows you to move around the map quickly. Combine this with Mountaineer to increase the distance you can jump from without receiving fall damage.
Tempered allows you to plate up with just two plates instead of three, making it much faster to return to full health. Next, one of my favorite picks, High Alert, lets you know when you’re within the enemy’s sights, keeping you from being killed by surprise.
Then, the Semtex is a powerful option for Lethal Equipment, and the Stim will increase your movement speed while healing you.

Best alternatives
If you want to try an SMG other than the Striker, the FJX Horus is an excellent choice for all close-range battles. You can also try out the BAL-27, which offers a fast TTK up close but can also perform well from medium to long range.
