Warzone’s Chimera Assault Rifle allows players to engage in mid to long-range combat while being quick on their feet. Here are the meta attachments you need to equip to create the best Chimera loadout in Warzone Season 2 Reloaded.

Assault Rifles in Warzone continue to be a popular choice as they provide range versatility along with a reliable TTK. The Chimera from Modern Warfare 2 hasn’t hit the top of the Warzone meta, but it’s proving to be an underrated option in Season 2 Reloaded.

The Chimera is deadly in the hands of players looking to shred their enemies as a Sniper support weapon. So, if you’re looking for the best Chimera loadout, here are all the attachments, Perks, and Equipment to use in Warzone Season 2 Reloaded.

Best Warzone Chimera loadout attachments

  • Barrel: 6.5″ EXF Vorpal
  • Laser: VLK LZR 7MW
  • Underbarrel: Schlager Tango
  • Rear Grip: Bruen Flash Grip
  • Magazine: 45 Round Mag

This Warzone Chimera loadout uses the VLK LZR 7MW Laser and Bruen Flash Rear Grip to vastly improve the weapon’s overall speed, including ADS, movement, and sprint-to-fire speed. The 6.5″ EXF Vorpal Barrel buffs the damage range, movement speed, and ADS speed.

Then, we opted for the Schlager Tango Underbarrel to enhance aim walking and recoil steadiness allowing players to take advantage of the weapon’s mobility and still hit distant targets.

Finally, we opted for the 45 Round Mag which is essential to ensure you won’t run out of ammunition and therefore be able to eliminate multiple enemies, especially if you’re using the Chimera as a Sniper support weapon.
