Best Warzone 2 loadout for Vondel DMZ exclusion zone

Call of Duty Warzone 2 DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) can be quite difficult on Vondel and hence requires the best weapons to survive. Despite the presence of some players on the map, the hordes of AI combatants can make both completing objectives and extracting tricky. However, the correct loadout choice can help squads clear out a way for themselves without losing any of the contraband loot.

The seasonal and mid-seasonal updates usually shift the gun meta due to the implementation of weapon adjustments. Fortunately, a few of the Assault Rifles and Sub Machine Guns (SMGs) remain evergreen and can be used despite new nerfs and buffs. The TAQ-56 and Vaznev-9k are two jewels of the game that pack both extreme precision and high damage output.

This article will highlight the best builds for TAQ-56 and Vaznev-9k for Warzone 2 Vondel DMZ mode.
