The HRM-9 has remained one of the most popular and powerful weapons to dominate close-range fights since it arrived in Warzone. So, here’s the best HRM-9 loadout to use in Warzone Season 3, including all the attachments, Perks, and Equipment.

The HRM-9 is one of Warzone’s top SMGs, despite several nerfs. As you’d expect, it thrives in close-range encounters, so choosing attachments that buff its mobility will keep you light on your feet, while improving its stability will help it compete over slightly longer distances.

With all this in mind, here is the best HRM-9 loadout in Warzone, complete with the meta attachments, Perks, and Equipment to run.

Best Warzone HRM-9 loadout attachments

  • Muzzle: ZEHMN35 Compensated Flash Hider
  • Stock: Folding Stock
  • Underbarrel: DR-6 Handstop
  • Magazine: 50 Round Drum
  • Ammunition: 9mm High Grain Rounds

The best Warzone HRM-9 loadout kicks off with the ZEHMN35 Compensated Flash Hider and Folding Stock combination to enhance its recoil and gun-kick control. Then, the DR-6 Handstop will help out with the mobility and handling, keeping you mobile. With how hectic Rebirth Island can get, you’ll appreciate being able to make a quick get away or finesse your opponent.

Using the 9mm High Grain Rounds boosts its bullet velocity which means your bullets register quicker, making the gun feel better overall. Lastly, the 50 Round Drum will prevent you from running out of bullets.

Best Warzone HRM-9 loadout Perks & Equipment

  • Perk 1: Double Time
  • Perk 2: Sleight of Hand
  • Perk 3: Tempered
  • Perk 4: High Alert
  • Lethal Equipment: Semtex
  • Tactical Equipment: Smoke Grenade

With Double Time equipped, you’ll be zooming across the map whether you have the nimble HRM-9 or your long-range weapon in hand. Then, Sleight of Hand will allow you to reload the weapon’s heavy 50 Round Drum quickly, getting you right back into the action.

Tempered adds to your ability to take on multiple enemies as you reach full health with two armor plates instead of three. Next, High Alert will notify you when enemy players have you in their sights, letting you quickly react.

Similarly, Smoke Grenades are a great tool to increase survivability and offer safe rotations, while Semtex can provide that extra bit of damage needed to send your enemies to the Gulag.

How to unlock HRM-9 in Warzone

The HRM-9 is an Armory Unlock in Warzone Season 3, and you can earn it by completing three Daily Challenges or getting three wins. However, you’ll have to activate the challenge first for progress to count.

When originally released in Season 1 Reloaded, it was unlocked through the Battle Pass. But, since the start of Season 2, it has been moved to the Armory to allow those who missed out to unlock it.

Best HRM-9 alternatives in Warzone

The Renetti is one of the best alternatives to the HRM-9 in Warzone, after emerging as another meta option. Meanwhile, the Striker 9 has remained a consistently powerful option that might become meta if these other close-range weapons get nerfed.
