Viable burst guns, like the DG-56, are a versatile way to stay alive in Warzone Season 4 Reloaded. For optimal performance, check out our concise guide for the best DG-56 loadout, featuring recommended attachments and Perks.

Burst weapons have had a mixed history throughout Warzone with some having been excellent like Black Ops Cold War’s M16, but most failing to find their way into the meta.

Inspired by the real-world QBZ-97, the DG-56 is a three-round burst assault rifle that looks to change this offering a strong option thanks to its impressive accuracy and competitive TTK.

In saying that it isn’t the easiest gun to use and a suitable build is required to get the most out of it. That’s where we come in and provide a loadout that will let you dominate in Warzone Season 4 Reloaded.

Best DG-56 Warzone loadout

  • Muzzle: VT-7 Spiritfire Suppressor
  • Barrel: DG-58 LS18 Barrel
  • Optic: Corio Eagleseye 2.5x
  • Underbarrel: Bruen Heavy Support Grip
  • Magazine: 60 Round Drum

The goal with any burst weapon is to reduce recoil to make it more consistent and extend the effective damage range. Starting with range, the DG-56 LS18 Barrel and VT-7 Spiritfire Suppressor combine well to not only improve the range but also reduce recoil and silence your weapon.

As for recoil control, the Bruen Heavy Support Grip stock massively reduces Recoil Gun Kick, the most important stat on a burst gun. The best part is that the downsides to using this attachment are largely negligible.

Just like any other Warzone rifle, having a bigger magazine is always useful and the DG-56’s 60 Round Drum offers just that. This extended magazine goes a long way on the DG-56 which is already ammo efficient due to it being burst-fire.

Last, but certainly not least, is the Corio Eagleseye 2.5x optic which has emerged as a top-tier sight for assault rifles thanks to the low visual recoil and clear view it provides.

DG-56 Warzone Loadout: Perks and Equipment

  • Perk 1: Double Time
    • increases Tac Sprint duration
  • Perk 2: Sleight of Hand
    • reload faster
  • Perk 3: Quick Fix
    • inserting a plate or killing another player will trigger health regeneration
  • Perk 4: Resolute
    • move faster when hit by an enemy shot
  • Lethal: Throwing Knife
  • Tactical: Smoke Grenade

Double Time remains a meta option in Perk slot 1 as it not only doubles the duration of your tactical sprint but also reduces the refresh time letting you use it more often. This works well with Sleight of Hand, which lets you reload faster in a pinch and get back into the fight.

Quick Fix makes health regeneration a breeze through triggering it when inserting an armor plate into your vest.

Resolute is a powerful fourth slot Perk that increases your mobility even further through a movement speed boost when hit with enemy fire.

You can’t go wrong with a Throwing Knife for the lethal slot as it can be thrown quickly and reliably down enemy players. Meanwhile, the best tactical is still a Smoke Grenade as the improvised cover it can provide is impactful and will regularly make a big difference.
