Best Warzone 2 TAQ-56 loadout attachments

• Muzzle: Harbinger D20
• Barrel: 17.5″ Tundra Pro Barrel
• Optic: Aim Op-V4
• Ammunition: 5.56 High Velocity
• Magazine: 60 Round Mag

Since Warzone 2‘s TAQ-56 will be used for long-range engagements, 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 Aim Op-V4. The Harbinger D20 muzzle and 17.5″ Tundra Pro Barrel will buff your damage range, bullet velocity, recoil, and hip fire accuracy.

Next, the 5.56 High Velocity Ammo ensures your bullets connect faster, increasing the weapon’s bullet velocity which allows you to get the first shot no matter the range. Lastly, we have the 60 Round Mag so that you can take down multiple enemies without needing to reload.

Best Perks & Equipment for Warzone 2 TAQ-56 loadout

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

For Perks, we’ve opted for Bomb Squad and Double time for the base Perks, as they offer protection from explosives and extra mobility. Next, we went for Fast Hands, which is pretty essential in Warzone 2, as a fast reload means you can be back in the fight in no time.

Lastly, Ghost is a no-brainer, as it will keep you hidden from enemy UAVs, which are extremely frequent in the BR.

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

How to unlock the TAQ-56 in Warzone 2

To unlock the TAQ-56 in Warzone 2 and Modern Warfare 2, players will need to reach Level 19, which shouldn’t take too long, especially if you have some Double XP Tokens or play during an event.

Best TAQ-56 alternatives in Warzone 2

The TAQ-56 is a fantastic long to medium-range Assault Rifle, so a great alternative to this weapon is the Kastov 762 Assault Rifle. But if you’re looking for something that can dish out more damage than the TAQ-56, you should try out the TAQ-V or the Cronen Squall Battle Rifle.
