We’ll start off this Warzone Pacific loadout by improving the SMG’s hip-fire accuracy and recoil control with the help of the Recoil Booster muzzle and Taped Grip rear grip.
We went with the 8mm Nambu 64 Round Drums, and the Subsonic ammunition type ensures that your shots don’t ping on enemy minimaps. The Perfetto Lesto 355mm barrel, Mark VI Skeletal underbarrel, and Imerito FR stock will boost your movement speed.
The Slate Reflector is an unobtrusive and reliable optic choice. Momentum increases your movement speed after getting kills. Finally, we’ll cap off this loadout with the Quick kit to buff your mobility by increasing your sprint speed.
Best Warzone Marco 5 Perks & Equipment
- Perk 1: E.O.D
- Perk 2: Overkill
- Perk 3: Amped
- Lethal: Semtex
- Tactical: Stim
Enemies will throw Grenades and Thermites your way in close-range combat, so you should equip the E.O.D Perk to make you resistant to explosive damage. Overkill will allow you to pair this SMG with a long-range option like the STG44.
Our final Perk choice is Amped, and this lets you quickly swap between weapons. The Semtex dishes out explosive damage to multiple targets, and Stims will provide you with a health and speed boost.
How to unlock Marco 5 in Warzone Pacific
