Best FR 5.56 Warzone loadout

Muzzle: VT-7 Spiritfire Suppressor
Barrel: 600mm FR Longbore
Optic: Corio Eagleseye 2.5x
Underbarrel: Demo Cleanshot 40
Magazine: 60 Round Mag

While the FR 5.56 can be lethal its burst does kick a lot To improve recoil and make this AR more accurate it’s recommended to use the VT-7 Spiritfire Suppressor muzzle and 600mm FR Longbore barrel which also provide a sizable increase to range.

Keeping with the theme of accuracy, the Demo Cleanshot 40 underbarrel massively reduces aiming idle sway which is a must given the FR 5.56’s relatively slow fire rate. It is preferred over the more traditional FTAC Ripper 56 as it doesn’t hurt the burst gun’s mobility or handling nearly as much.

With the FR 5.56 being a precision weapon a suitable medium-long range sight is a must, and the Corio Eagleseye 2.5x optic offers just that. Finally, the 60 Round Mag is excellent for reducing the amount of reloading required and ensures you will have enough shots to get the job done when needed most.

FR 5.56 Warzone Loadout: Perks and Equipment

Perk 1: Double Time
Perk 2: Irradiated
Perk 3: Tempered
Perk 4: Resolute
Lethal: Semtex
Tactical: Smoke Grenade

The best Perk 1 is Double Time as the improved Tactical Sprint provided boosts mobility letting you get around Urzikstan more easily. Partnering that with Irradiated makes you move extremely fast in the gas which can be clutch in those final moments of a tense game.

Tempered is an excellent Perk 3 with it reducing the amount of Armor Plates required for a full heal from three to two. This not only lets you heal up faster but also improves Armor Plate economy reducing the amount of time you have to spend looting.

The last Perk is Resolute, a new addition in Warzone that boosts movement speed after taking damage. This can be a real lifesaver in those tight moments when you are under fire and need to find cover as soon as possible.

A Semtex is a classic choice for lethal equipment as it can be thrown quickly to deal damage to a target hiding behind cover. For a more defensive option, a Smoke Grenade is a good tactical to use as it can be thrown to obscure an open area that would otherwise leave you exposed.
