TAQ-56 Warzone

Despite MW3 weapons dominating Warzone, MW2’s TAQ-56 is still one of the most reliable Assault Rifle options available in the game. So, here’s the best TAQ-56 loadout in Warzone Season 2 Reloaded with the meta attachments, Perks, and Equipment.

Warzone’s Season 2 Reloaded is fully underway offering players a ton of content to dive into. This includes a brand-new POI in Fortune’s Keep, two new weapons, the SOA Subverter and Soulrender, and several weapon adjustments to the existing gun roster.

While the MW3 weapon roster dominates the game, MW2’s TAQ-56 Assault Rifle has preserved its popularity as a fantastic pick, with the potential to dominate both long and medium ranges. Additionally, you can boost the AR’s damage range and TTK with the right attachments, Perks, and Equipment.

With that said, here’s the best TAQ-56 loadout in Warzone Season 2 Reloaded.

Best Warzone TAQ-56 loadout attachments

The TAQ-56 is a lethal choice for mid-to-long range in Warzone.
  • Muzzle: VT-7 Spiritfire Suppressor
  • Barrel: 17.5″ Tundra Pro Barrel
  • Optic: Nydar Model 2023
  • Underbarrel: DR-6 Handstop
  • Magazine: 40 Round Mag

Since Warzone‘s TAQ-56 will be used for mid to long-range fights, you’ll need a nice optic that provides a clear sight along with some zoom for enemies slightly further away, so we’ve gone with the Nydar Model 2023. The VT-7 Spiritfire Suppressor Muzzle and 17.5″ Tundra Pro Barrel will buff your damage range, bullet velocity, recoil, and hip fire accuracy.

Next, the DR-6 Handstop Underbarrel is a great option for stabilizing the weapon while increasing the hip fire accuracy. Lastly, we have the 40 Round Mag so that you can take down multiple enemies without needing to reload.

Best Perks & Equipment for Warzone TAQ-56 loadout

  • Perk 1: Mountaineer
  • Perk 2: Sleight of Hand
  • Perk 3: Tempered
  • Perk 4: High Alert
  • Lethal Equipment: Semtex
  • Tactical Equipment: Flash Grenade

For Perks, we’ve opted for Mountaineer to vastly increase the distance you can drop from without taking damage, almost doubling it. Combined with Sleight of Hand, which is essential in Warzone, as a fast reload means you can be back in the fight in no time.

Next, we went for Tempered, which reduces to two the amount of armor plates you need to fulfill it. Lastly, High Alert will let you know when an enemy has you in their sights.

As for Equipment, we’ve gone for the Flash Grenade and Semtex combination to flush out enemies bunkered down in buildings.

The TAQ-56 is a fantastic long to medium-range Assault Rifle, so a great alternative to this weapon is the SVA 545 and RAM-7 Assault Rifles. But if you’re looking for something that can dish out more damage, you should try out the SOA Subverter.
