More than one SMG is viable in Warzone season 2 — rare for the battle royale. Usually, a single weapon dominates close-quarters engagements, whether it’s an SMG, shotgun, or even a pistol. Right now, one of the best options is the RAM-9 SMG, but what’s the best build for success in Call of Duty‘s last-man-standing mode?
And, to be clear, the RAM-9 SMG is different from the RAM-7 assault rifle. That single number difference is an easy one to miss, but with that said, let’s break down your next favorite Warzone loadout.
Best build for Warzone
In Warzone, you’ll typically carry two weapons. The majority of players choose a long-range automatic weapon, like an assault rifle or LMG, and a close-range weapon. Right now, the RAM-9 is a top-tier option for close range. As such, you’ll want to build it for maximum mobility and close-range damage. That means avoiding the damage-range attachments and most recoil stabilization but focusing on high damage output for fights inside buildings and maneuvering quickly to safety.
Here’s how to set up your RAM-9 loadout:
- Zehmn35 Compensated Flash Hider Muzzle
- DXS Flash 90 Laser
- DR-6 Handstop Underbarrel
- 50 Round Magazine
- Recon Comb
These attachments give the SMG great mobility, so you can easily run around and slide-cancel on the enemy. Additionally, the laser makes it even more accurate at close range. Adding a large magazine is essential for Warzone, especially if you’re playing trios and quads. When you’re competing against larger teams, the last thing you want is to die because your SMG ran out of ammo too quickly. This is especially common with SMGs, which tend to chew through ammo in a flash thanks to a high rate of fire.
