Warzone Season 5 Patch has several powerful weapons in its armory and a fan-favorite among them is the FR 5.56. The gun is dependable, and can easily be tamed as it only features single and burst-fire modes. Fortunately, you can build it into one of the most lethal weapons in the game.

Warzone provides you with complete control over your weapon builds and can help you discover the best playstyle to secure multiple victories. The choice of weapons plays a major role as your loadout is the first and last line of defense against enemy squads. The FR 5.56 can be one of the best deterrents in such scenarios as it packs a heavy punch.

This article will highlight the most efficient FR 5.56 weapon build for Warzone Season 5.

The Shadowstrike Suppressor muzzle helps you stay off the radar and protects your positional information during a match. The DR-6 Handstop underbarrel increases aim-walking, aim-down-sight (ADS), sprint-to-fire, and movement speed.

The Slate Reflector is a perfect optic for this weapon as the iron sights can be difficult to operate around. The SA Ion rear grip increases recoil control and gun-kick control, providing much-needed weapon stability while participating in a gunfight.

The 45-round extended magazine helps you fight against multiple operators without having to reload frequently.

The FR 5.56 holds the middle ground in the loadout and can act as the primary weapon or sniper support as and when needed. That being said, it can be comfortably paired with any Sub-Machine Gun (SMG) like the WSP-9 that can be used in close-quarter combat.
