Attachments

  • Muzzle: F8 Stabilizer 
  • Barrel: Wilkie W-4 Stub 
  • Trigger Action: Hair Trigger 
  • Magazine: 30. Russian Short
  • Ammunition: M15 Shot Shell
  • Rear Grip: Fabric Grip 
  • Perk 1: Akimbo 
  • Perk 2: Quick

The best Top Break Warzone loadout boosts the gun’s damage and fire rate, which allows you to quickly eliminate opponents before they can even react. First up are the F8 Stabilizer, Wilkie W-4 Stub, and 30. Russian Short mags. All three of these attachments drastically increase the Top Break’s damage and bullet velocity. 

When this is combined with the added fire rate from the Hair Trigger and damage radius from the M15 Shot Shell, you have an incredibly hard-hitting secondary. Once you get within range of your target, simply spam your shots and watch as your foe’s health bar drops to zero. 

If that wasn’t good enough, the added mobility and sprint to fire speed from Quick and the Fabric Grip enables you to aggressively rush enemy squads. Of course, the main thing that makes the Top Break so oppressive is the Akimbo perk.

This enables players to use two handguns, giving the user even greater DPS. This does come at a sacrifice to accuracy and range, but the close-quarters kill potential more than makes up for these negatives.

Perks & Equipment

  • Perk 1: E.O.D.
  • Perk 2: Ghost
  • Perk 3: Amped
  • Primary: STG44
  • Lethal: Semtex
  • Tactical: Stim

Our best Top Break Warzone loadout utilizes EOD, Ghost, and Amped. EOD and Amped keep you safe from explosive blasts, while also giving increased speed when swapping to your secondary weapon. 

The latter is incredibly important as you’ll be switching to the Top Break in close-quarter engagements. Lastly, Ghost keeps you hidden from enemy UAVs and Heartbeat Sensors. 

As the Top Break lacks any form of range, we recommend using the STG44 or Automaton ARs. Both these loadouts deal fantastic damage in mid-range firefights, which enables you to remain effective across the majority of Caldera’s environments.

Lastly, both the Semtex and Stim will give you the tools needed to flush out pesky campers and survive any lethal damage. 

How to unlock the Top Break in Warzone

In order to unlock the Top Break in Warzone, you’ll need to reach level rank 12 in Warzone or Vanguard. This means most players will already have access to this handgun, but for those that don’t, you’ll simply want to play matches in Warzone or Vanguard’s multiplayer.

Once you’ve got your hands on the Top Break, you’ll be able to start grinding out the best attachments.
