Best BAS-B loadout in Warzone

With the arrival of the December 14 mini-patch, popular Warzone content creator IceManIssac has released a video on his YouTube channel listing what he feels are the best weapons in the game after the latest nerfs.

According to him, players should still use the BAS-B battle rifle in Warzone as it remains quite overpowered despite being at the receiving end of two minor damage nerfs. Although the minimum and maximum damage values of the gun have been brought down by a few ticks, the recoil stats of the gun are untouched.

The BAS-B is still an exceptional firearm for mid-to-long-range engagements, with its minimal recoil feedback and meta-tier damage output. To get the best performance from this gun, players can equip it with the following attachments:

• Muzzle - VT-7 Spiritfire Suppressor L
• Barrel - Bruen Venom Long Barrel
• Optic - Corio Eagleseye 2.5x
• Underbarrel - Bruen Heavy Support Grip
• Magazine - 45 Round Mag

The VT-7 Spiritfire Suppressor L improves upon the recoil control, bullet velocity, and damage range of the firearm. Alongside that, it also muzzles the sound of gunfire and keeps the operators from being pinged on the tac map while firing the gun.

The Bruen Venom Long Barrel reduces the recoil feedback even more, alongside increasing the bullet velocity and range, aiming idle sway, and gun kick control.

The Bruen Heavy Support Grip massively improves the gun kick control, horizontal recoil control, and aiming idle sway. Plus, it also increases the firing aim stability by a small margin.

For the scope, players can equip the gun with the Corio Eagleseye 2.5x. It is an exceptional optic for mid-to-long-range engagements with its clear view of the downrange and precise reticle.

Lastly, that 45 Round Mag is necessary as the default magazine is quite inadequate for engaging against multiple enemies in battle royale matches.

The BAS-B battle rifle is mainly used for engaging against enemies at a distance. Thus, players need a good secondary for close-range engagements, and as such, the recommended pair for this gun is the Lockwood 680 shotgun.

Lockwood 680 is superb for CQC engagements, as it boasts exceptional mobility and strafe speed. The damage output of this gun is also nothing to scoff at as it can down close-range enemies in just two rounds.

Players can equip the Lockwood 680 with the following attachments for excellent results:

• Muzzle - Bryson Improved Choke
• Barrel - Lockwood Defender Heavy Long Barrel
• Stock - Sawed Off Mod
• Guard - Matuzek Xray Skeletonized Guard
• Bolt - Express Light Bolt
