Black Ops Cold War’s Milano 821 is back in the meta and can be a beast of an SMG in Warzone with the right build. To help you get ahead of the competition, we’ve put together the optimal loadout to dominate the competition.

Ever since its arrival with the release of Black Ops Cold War, the Milano has seen its fair share of highs and lows in Warzone. The SMG has never quite reached the top of the pack, though it’s certainly still a contender in the right hands.

However, thanks to changes in the recent Season 2 Reloaded patch, it’s now secured a spot as a top-tier SMG and one of the most popular weapons currently in the game.

With that in mind, here’s a guide on how to get the most out of the SMG; from how to unlock it, to the best attachments, we’ve got everything you need to know.

The Milano is deadlier than ever.

Attachments

Muzzle: Agency Suppressor
Barrel: 10.5 Ranger
Laser: Tiger Team Spotlight
Stock: Raider Stock
Ammunition: STANAG 55 Rnd Drum.

Despite having a fairly slow fire rate, the Milano is now one of the strongest of any gun in the category. And along with the recent TTK changes, the gun holds up fairly well for both Rebirth Island and Caldera.

Starting things out, the Agency Suppressor and 10.5″ Ranger Barrel are crucial. Both of these attachments combine to give the gun a huge boost in bullet velocity and overall damage, significantly increasing the Milano’s TTK.

As with most SMGs, aiming down sights is often a secondary consideration. As a result, adding the Tiger Team Spotlight laser will keep you as accurate as possible when you’re not doing so.

Last but not least are the Raider Stock and STANAG 55 Rnd Drum. The former will improve sprint to fire timing but will slightly hinder your hip-fire accuracy. For ammunition, the increased magazine size will keep you firing in more drawn-out engagements.

Every SMG setup needs the right perks to truly make the most out of it.

Perks

Perk 1: Double Time
Perk 2: Overkill
Perk 3: Amped

Equipment

Lethal: Throwing Knife
Tactical: Heartbeat Sensor

When it comes to just about any SMG loadout in Warzone, there’s only one set of Perks worth considering. Double Time, Overkill, and Amped are all equally essential when building the optimal SMG class.

For starters, Double Time allows you to sprint for greater distances. Combined with the mobility of an SMG like the Milano, this will have you dashing through Verdansk as quickly as possible. Meanwhile, Overkill and Amped let you swap between devastating primary weapons in the blink of an eye, adapting your playstyle at a moment’s notice for the situation at hand.

With the addition of the Combat Recon perk in Season 5, it could be an option to run Cold-Blooded if you feel like you’re being dominated by players using it. However, Double Time should always be your go-to, as it provides so much mobility.

In terms of equipment, nothing quite edges out the Throwing Knife and Heartbeat Sensor combo this season. The former will clean up kills as soon as you down an enemy while the latter will help give you the jump on nearby targets. Both are essential for high-kill games with the Milano.

How to unlock the Milano 821 in Warzone

Adding the Milano to your Warzone arsenal couldn’t be simpler.

No different from unlocking any other weapon that arrived with Black Ops Cold War, all you need to do here is level up. Getting your hands on the Milano 821 requires you to reach level 13.

That’s all there is to it. Once you’ve passed this level, the Milano 821 is all yours to experiment with and begin the real grind to unlocking all the attachments.

Alternative to the Milano loadout

The MAC-10 is still one of the best close-quarter guns in the game.
