Looking for a new Warzone 2 loadout? Content creator and Warzone pro JoeWo may have the class set up you’re looking for as he has revealed what he believes is the game’s “hardest hitting” rifle loadout.

There’s so many weapons to choose from in Warzone 2, but only a handful are really considered meta. The ISO 45 SMG introduced in Season 4 has shot straight up to the top, but when it comes to long-range, weapons like the Lachmann-556 and SO-14 are dominating.

That said, there are always a few overlooked weapons and Warzone pro JoeWo believes he has found the “hardest hitting” rifle loadout.

The weapon JoeWo believes is worthy of the “hardest hitting” title is the TAQ-V, which is a weapon that has been in and out of the meta-conversation in Warzone 2 through the seasons.

JoeWo calls the TAQ-V the “new king” of hardest-hitting rifles and also claims that the loadout is good for any of the game’s maps, including Vondel, due to its easy-to-control recoil, which is “pretty much verticle.”

If you’re interested in testing out whether the TAQ-V truly is the hardest-hitting rifle in the game, check out JoeWo’s full loadout for the weapon below.

JoeWo’s Warzone 2 TAQ-V loadout

  • Muzzle: SA Leveler 55
  • Underbarrel: FTAC Ripper 56
  • Ammunition: 7.62 High Velocity
  • Magazine: 50 Round Drum
  • Optic: SZ Recharge-DX

First off, JoeWo opted for the SA Leveler 55 muzzle to provide some verticle and horizontal recoil control, as the TAQ-V does have some strong recoil that needs to be tamed.

To bring some aiming idle stability, hip fire accuracy, and further recoil stabilization, JoeWo went for the FTAC Ripper 56 underbarrel.

The 7.62 High Velocity ammunition will boost the weapons bullet velocity for those longer-ranged engagements, while the 50 Round Drum allow you to finish off enemies and get enough damage off without needing to reload.

Lastly, for a nice clean sight, JoeWo added the SZ Recharge-DX, which is a nice balance of zoom for all ranges.

Definitely give this weapon a try if you’re looking for a new gun to use in Warzone 2. For more guides, check out some of our others below:
