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.
Best Warzone 2 loadout for Vondel DMZ mode
Call of Duty Warzone 2 features several contraband weapons in Vondel DMZ mode. Players can pick up various weapons while being deployed in the survival mode and store them in their inventories to be used later. The guns are quite effective against enemies, but only the best loadout can help players survive intense gunfight scenarios.
The TAQ-56 is one of the most dependable Assault Rifles in the class and can be used for medium-range gunfights. The Vaznev-9k takes care of close-quarter combat and packs ample stopping power. Both weapons benefit from a build that can increase their mobility and handling stats alongside damage range.
