Best Holger 556 Warzone loadout: Class setup, attachments, perks, more

John Esposito

The Holger 556 is a powerful assault rifle that has proven extremely popular in Warzone as of late, and with a meta loadout, it is easily one of the best weapons altogether.

Based on the fan-favorite G36, the Holger 556 has long since wreaked havoc in multiplayer, but it’s no slouch in battle royale either. In fact, this iconic assault rifle has established itself as a top-tier option, especially in Solos and Duos, where its smaller magazine isn’t a problem at all.

This smaller magazine doesn’t lend itself as well to Trios and Quads, but it has a relatively slow fire rate for an AR, so it’s not a dealbreaker. You just have to make sure every shot counts, which isn’t too difficult given the Holger 556’s incredible accuracy.

As for what makes the Holger 556 so good, its biggest strength is its lack of weaknesses. There’s no reason to avoid this meta assault rifle, as it either excels or performs well in every notable stat. That is true of only a small handful of weapons, making this rendition of the G36 rather special.

  • Magazine: 40 Round Mag
The best Holger 556 loadout to use in Warzone.

Assault Rifles are best built for long-range combat, and the Holger 556 is no different. The Chrios-6 Match barrel and the Zehmn35 Compensated Flash Hider greatly improve recoil and vertical kick control, also increasing the damage range, and making those long-range engagements a breeze to win.

Equally, the Bruen Heavy Support Grip will boost the ADS speed while using the weapon, allowing you to move more freely in an engagement. It also provides increased horizontal recoil control.

While the optic you choose is up to personal preference, the JAK Glassless Optic has long since established itself as the meta option. It has a clear reticle and provides easy-to-use sights, giving it an edge over Warzone’s many other options.

Finally, the 40 Round Mag is the largest available on the Holger 556, and a larger magazine is always useful in Warzone. Admittedly, this relatively small magazine can be a hindrance in large-scale team fights, which is something to be mindful of when using this assault rifle.

Picking best perks and equipment to use with Holger 556 in Warzone.

Two of the best perks to run in Warzone if you like to play aggressively are Double Time and Resolute. The former gives you more Tac Sprint while also having it recharge faster, while the latter gives you a burst of speed when hit and can get you out of a sticky situation with ease. Both of these help increase mobility and make it easier to push and escape from other teams.

Quick Fix is another great perk, giving equipped Armor Plates the additional effect of immediately kickstarting health regen, an effect that is also triggered by killing players.

Similarly, Sleight of Hand is incredible on weapons like the Holger 556, as it helps keep your gun loaded at all times, which is especially important given this AR’s smaller magazine capacity. Without this perk, you run the risk of getting caught reloading, which is a death sentence at the best of times.

For equipment, the current Warzone meta still favors a Throwing Knife and Smoke Grenade, so that’s what you should use. Throwing Knives are great for quickly finishing off downed targets without having to waste shots, while a Smoke Grenade can be used to cloak open areas, making it easier to cross them safely.

How to unlock the Holger 556

To unlock the Holger 556, you’ll need to reach Level 37. This shouldn’t take long at all, but the process can still be sped up by taking advantage of Double XP weekends and tokens. Alternatively, you can also extract with it in MWZ, and it’ll instantly unlock for use.

Best Holger 556 alternative in Warzone

Aside from the Holger 556, another strong option to use is the MCW, which is even more accurate from long range. The MCW has a slower TTK than the Holger 556, but makes up for it by being the easiest long-range weapon to use in Warzone.
