Best Kar98k loadout for Warzone Season 5

When it comes to Warzone, there aren’t many more iconic weapons than the Kar98k, and the best loadout for it can dominate long-range fights.

Despite being nerfed in the Season 4 Reloaded and July 2 updates, it’s still a top quickscoping rifle in Season 5, especially when equipped with the right attachments.

So, here’s the optimal build to use, including Perks, Equipment, and more.

Best Warzone Kar98k loadout attachments

• Barrel: Prazisionsgewehr 762 Long Barrel
• Muzzle: Sonic Suppressor L
• Ammunition: 7.92 High Grain Rounds
• Slings: Target Sling
• Optic: Corio 13x VRS

This best Warzone Kar98k loadout is all about increasing bullet velocity, damage range, and ADS speed to give the Marksman Rifle its snappy, one-shot feel.

The Prazisionsgewehr 762 Long Barrel, Sonic Suppressor L, and 7.92 High Grain Rounds combination will boost the damage range and bullet velocity and maximize the rifle’s effectiveness in long-range engagements.

Next, I found the Target Sling essential in giving the Kar98k its fast ADS speed, enabling quick shots when moving in and out of cover during close-range engagements. Lastly, I’ve chosen my favorite Optic, the Corio 13x VRS, offering a nice long-ranged optic to excel from afar.

Best Perks & Equipment for Kar98k loadout

• Perk 1: Double Time
• Perk 2: Sleight of Hand
• Perk 3: Tempered
• Perk 4: High Alert
• Lethal Equipment: Frag Grenade
• Tactical Equipment: Smoke Grenade

As for the best Perks for the Kar98k loadout, you can’t go wrong with Double Time and Sleight of Hand, as these both aid your handling and mobility speeds.

Next, Tempered means you only have to use two Armor Plates to get back to full shield, while High Alert is the perfect choice for a Sniper, as it lets you know which direction you have been seen from so that you can aim in and clap back.

For Equipment, I love the classic Frag Grenade, as you can cook and throw them into positions enemies will find hard to escape from. Then, the Smoke Grenade provides cover when you need it most.

Best alternatives

If you haven’t unlocked the Kar98k yet and are looking for some good alternatives, give the MORS a shot, as it’s also quicker on the mobility and handling side offering a ton of damage to one-shot enemies.

Alternately, give the KATT-AMR a spin, offering a ton of damage and range while retaining one-shot capabilities.

Be sure to combine this best loadout for the Kar98k with the best Warzone PC settings. If you’re on console, you’ll want the most optimal controller settings to increase your accuracy.
