The Bruen Mk9 LMG reappeared in the long-range meta thanks to its impressive damage and low recoil. Here’s the best Bruen Mk9 loadout in Warzone, including the attachments, Perks, and Equipment.

The Warzone Season 3 update is in full swing, bringing major buffs and nerfs to meta weapons, including a slight nerf to the beloved Bruen Mk9 LMG. This pushed the powerful Bruen Mk9 a few places back in the LMG ranks.

However, many players still find this weapon easy-to-use, comfortable, and powerful, so here’s the best Bruen Mk9 loadout to help you dominate Warzone Season 3.

Best Warzone Bruen Mk9 loadout attachments

  • Muzzle: VT-7 Spiritfire Suppressor
  • Barrel: 23″ XRK Horizon V2
  • Underbarrel: Bruen Heavy Support Grip
  • Optic: JAK Glassless Optic
  • Magazine: 60 Round Mag

We begin our best Bruen Mk9 loadout in Warzone with the 23″ XRK Horizon V2 Barrel, buffing the LMG’s bullet velocity to make it a monster at long range. However, if you prefer better recoil control, you can swap the Barrel for the Stip-40 Grip.

Next, we’ve doubled down on recoil control, bullet velocity and range with the VT-7 Spiritfire Suppressor and Bruen Heavy Support Grip, making it much more manageable and deadly over larger distances.

The Bruen Mk9’s iron sights aren’t for everybody, so I picked the JAK Glassless Optic which I think is the best cleanest sight for long-range fights in the game. Finally, the 60 Round Mag offers enough ammunition to tackle multiple enemies in quick succession.

Best Warzone Bruen Mk9 loadout Perks & Equipment

  • Perk 1: Double Time
  • Perk 2: Sleight of Hand
  • Perk 3: Quick Fix
  • Perk 4: High Alert
  • Lethal: Semtex
  • Tactical: Smoke Grenade

We recommend starting with Double Time to increase your Tactical Sprint duration to make up for the LMG’s heavy nature and Sleight of Hand to speed up reloads.

The Bruen promotes an aggressive playstyle, so Quick Fix will offer a nice health boost anytime you down an enemy or apply a plate. Then, High Alert will keep you informed if an enemy has you in their sight.

When it comes to Equipment, the Semtex is perfect for racking up a quick kill, while Smoke Grenades provide instant cover for a quick escape.

How to unlock Bruen Mk9 in Warzone

Warzone players can unlock the Bruen Mk9 by hitting Level 31. This can be done by playing Plunder or Resurgence matches within the game.

While this shouldn’t take too long for those who play regularly, anyone looking to speed up the process can look out for Double XP events to fly through the ranks.

Best Bruen Mk9 alternatives in Warzone

If you prefer a long-range weapon in Warzone, the TAQ Eradicator LMG also boasts great damage and mobility. Also, the SVA 545 AR is incredibly easy to use and has no recoil.
