• Underbarrel: VX Pineapple
• Magazine: 45 Round Mag

We’ll start off the best Warzone 2 M16 loadout by equipping the FJX Fulcrum Pro muzzle and 14″ Carbine Shroud barrel to buff the weapon’s bullet velocity and recoil control. Next, we’ll equip the VX Pineapple, which buffs your hip-fire accuracy and reduces kickback.

You can then use the magnification of the Schlager 3.4X optic to take down enemies from a distance. Finally, we’ll cap off this loadout with the 45 Round Mag, which grants you enough ammo to eliminate multiple foes.

• Base Perk 1: Overkill
• Base Perk 2: Double Time
• Bonus Perk: Fast Hands
• Ultimate Perk: Ghost
• Tactical Equipment: Drill Charge
• Lethal Equipment: Flash Grenade

We chose Overkill to pair the M16 with an SMG like the Lachmann Sub for close-range battles and Double Time so that you can stay fast on your feet.

Fast Hands is useful for reloading and switching weapons fast, while Ghost ensures that your position stays hidden on the map. Coming to Equipment, we chose Drill Charges to deal explosive damage, and Flash Grenades to temporarily blind foes.
