Burst weapons have solidified their place as good-to-great options in the Warzone meta, with the FR 5.56 leading the pack. Here’s your guide to the best FR 5.56 loadout for Season 4 Reloaded, ensuring you rack up wins effortlessly.
The FAMAS has been an iconic weapon in Call of Duty for years and it returns yet again in Warzone as the FR 5.56. While it has been a strong option in multiplayer this burst rifle has typically struggled in Warzone. That is until now.
Burst weapons are top-tier in the meta right now and the FR 5.56 is no exception. Its great range and accuracy make it an obvious pick in CoDs battle royale even if its lower fire rate can make it somewhat unforgiving.
With the FR 5.56 being such a unique weapon it demands a very particular setup. Thankfully, we’ve got you covered with this best FR 5.56 Warzone Season 4 Reloaded loadout.
Best FR 5.56 Warzone loadout
- Muzzle: VT-7 Spiritfire Suppressor
- Barrel: 435MM FR435
- Optic: Corio Eagleseye 2.5x
- Underbarrel: Bruen Heavy Support Grip
- Magazine: 60 Round Mag
ActivisionWhile 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 6435MM FR435 barrel which also provide a sizable increase to range.
Keeping with the theme of accuracy, the Bruen Heavy Support Grip underbarrel will help give you better ADS Speed and reduce the horizontal recoil for the gun. However, this does come at the cost of greater vertical recoil, but that’s worth dealing with for the benefits.
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.

- Perk 3: Quick Fix
- Starts health regeneration when killing a player or inserting a plate
- Perk 4: Resolute

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 Sleight of Hand helps you keep your gun locked and loaded whenever you need to get into a fight.
Quick Fix is an excellent Perk 3 with it kickstarting your health regeneration whenever you insert a plate of armor into your vest.
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 Throwing Knife is a classic choice for lethal equipment as it can be thrown quickly to deal damage to down an enemy. 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.
