Using a low recoil and high-damage Assault Rifle is essential, and the best MTZ-556 loadout is the perfect choice to cover long ranges in Warzone.

Following the Season 5 update, the Assault Rifle’s damage range was buffed, solidifying its position in the meta as the best overall weapon.

Here are the ideal attachments, Perks, and Equipment to maximize its potential.

Best Warzone MTZ-556 loadout attachments

  • Barrel: MTZ Clinch Pro Barrel
  • Muzzle: VT-7 Spiritfire Suppressor
  • Underbarrel: Bruen Heavy Support Grip
  • Optic: Corio Eagleseye 2.5x
  • Magazine: 50 Round Drum

The MTZ Clinch Pro Barrel and VT-7 Spiritfire Suppressor are perfect for reducing recoil, improving firing stability, and increasing damage range and bullet velocity.

Next up, the Bruen Heavy Support Grip further boosts recoil control. I found the Corio Eagleseye 2.5x great as a clear zoomed sight to lock onto targets at range. However, feel free to swap it for other popular options like the JAK Glassless or the one that fits your style best.

Finally, the 50 Round Drum ensures you can deal with multiple enemies before reloading, which is essential on playlists with larger squads.

Best Perks & Equipment for MTZ-556 loadout

  • Perk 1: Double Time
  • Perk 2: Mountaineer
  • Perk 3: Tempered
  • Perk 4: High Alert
  • Lethal: Semtex
  • Tactical: Flash Grenade

Double Time and Mountaineer are a great combo that allows you to sprint for longer and jump from higher buildings without taking too much damage.

Tempered is also a must-have, reducing the number of plates needed for maximum health. Then, High Alert will inform you whenever an enemy looks at you, giving you a chance to react and get to safety.

In the Equipment slots, I picked the Semtex, which is ideal for quickly downing enemy players and clearing out tight rooms, while Flash Grenades can disorient enemies before moving in for the kill.

How to unlock MTZ-556 in Warzone

You can unlock the MTZ-556 by reaching Level 12. This can be done in Battle Royale, Resurgence, or MW3 multiplayer, so it shouldn’t take too much time to get your hands on the AR.

Alternatively, you could unlock it instantly by finding it in Zombies and successfully extracting it.

Best alternatives

If the MTZ-556 isn’t working for you, the SVA 545 is arguably one of the best Assault Rifles in the game right now. The BAL-27 is also a great option, performing great at all ranges thanks to its low recoil and high damage.

To make the most out of this loadout, be sure to use the best controller, audio, and PC settings to level up easily and unlock all the new content.
