Top 5 meta loadouts in Warzone 2 Season 5

Call of Duty: Warzone 2 Season 5 marks the game's nearly three-year cycle, which saw some famous metas emerge and disappear, from Verdansk to Caldera. Raven Software, the developer, has guaranteed that Cold War and Modern Warfare weapons will show up as ground loot with the Season 5 update. The Warzone 2 Season 5 meta is well balanced, with no single weapon standing out as particularly powerful.

The weapon meta in Warzone is constantly shifting. You need to keep up with the patch notes for each update to understand which firearms are rising, which are going downhill, and which you need to have a proper loadout for. Inspired by youtuber EyeQew’ s recommendations, this article presents the top five meta loadouts in Warzone 2 Season 5.

1) TAQ-V

The release of Warzone 2 Season 5 has shook up the meta with an extensive list of weapon changes. Battle rifles were largely unaffected. The TAQ-V benefits from maintaining its position as a solid choice for mid- to long-range combat.

Its base recoil can be hard, but with the correct attachments, you can make it into a highly efficient instrument to eliminate your enemies from long distances.

Recommended loadout:

• Muzzle: Sakin Thread-40
• Barrel: 18” Precision-6 Barrell
• Optic: SZ Recharge-DX
• Underbarrel: FTAC Ripper 56
• Magazine: 50 Round Drum

2) ISO 45

In Warzone 2 Season 5, the ISO 45 is an excellent close-range weapon, but its range is relatively limited. As a result, we recommend pairing it with a flexible, long-range assault rifle.

In Warzone 2, the ISO 45 is ideal for an aggressive playstyle. This SMG is the most powerful in Warzone 2.

Recommended loadout:

• Muzzle: Spiral v3.5 Flash Hider
• Stock: DEMO Fade Tac
• Magazine: 45 Round Drum
• Ammunition: .45 Auto Overpressured +P
• Rear Grip: EXP Shear

3) VEL 46

The VEL 46 performs well at close range, but struggles at longer distances. Its distinctive strength is its capacity to fire quickly. The build given below reduces recoil, and increases damage range and bullet velocity.

This loadout will increase the VEL 46's lethality at close range and make it competitive in previously unwinnable mid-range confrontations.

Recommended loadout:

• Laser: VLK LZR 7MW
• Muzzle: Spiral V3.5 Flash Haider
• Stock: VEL A-568 Collapsed
• Rear Grip: Schlager Soldier Grip
• Magazine: 50 Round Mag

4) ISO Hemlock

Through Warzone 2 Season 5, the ISO Hemlock has made its imprint on the Warzone 2 meta. It's a top-tier pick because of its high damage output and low recoil.

The ISO Hemlock has gained popularity among gamers due to its supremacy in mid-range confrontations. We can improve this assault rifle's low recoil and mobility, which are already important assets, by using the correct set of attachments. At the same time, we want to reduce its less potent long-range damage output.

Recomended loadout:

• Muzzle: Harbinger D20
• Barrel: Fielder-T50
• Optic: Aim Op-v4
• Magazine: 45 Round Mag
• Ammunition: 5.56 High Velocity

5) Vaznev-9K

The Vaznev-9K continues to be an amazingly versatile weapon. The fast rate of fire of this submachine gun makes it efficient at taking down foes quickly in close-range battles.

The mini-AK47 Vaznev-9K is a tiny SMG with a balanced fire rate and damage output. Aside from the Fennec 45, it is one of the best SMGs in Warzone 2, having the lowest TTK.

Recomended loadout:

• Muzzle: Spiral v3.5 Flash Haider
• Laser: FSS OLE-V Laser
• Stock: Otrezat Stock
• Ammunition: 9mm Overpressured +P
• Magazine: 45 Round Mag
