Despite dominating the Warzone meta for a good chunk of time in Season 2, the MCW has seen a bit of a dropoff, but it’s still good enough to be worth your time kitting out on the battlefield.

The MCW was the king of Warzone for a while before seeing other weapons come to rise to the top in Season 3. But that doesn’t mean it needs to be overlooked.

When using the right attachments, the MCW is still a great weapon choice in the game and should not be ignored.

Here is the optimal loadout we have for the gun that will give you the best chance of victory.

Best MCW Warzone loadout

  • Muzzle: VT-7 Spiritfire Suppressor
  • Barrel: 16.5″ MCW Cyclone Long Barrel
  • Optic: Corio Eagleseye 2.5x
  • Underbarrel: Bruen Heavy Support Grip
  • Magazine: 60 Round Drum

The damage range, bullet velocity, ADS speed, and recoil will all be improved with the VT-7 Spiritfire Suppressor, and the 16.5″ MCW Cyclone Long Barrel will continue on the buff to damage range and velocity.

Using the Corio Eagleseye 2.5x will give you the chance to line up a better shot and more ADS speed to make your aiming super snappy.

The recoil is going to be further improved by using the Bruen Heavy Support Grip to give you the best shot at a longer range.

Finally, the 60 Round Drum will offer more shots per round which can be great if you have multiple enemies attacking you at the same time.
