Best Weapons & Class Setups For Warzone Pacific Season 1 (Long-range & Close-range)

The following long-range setups focus on damage range but with little to no recoil in mind. The mobility on these long-range setups will not be the fastest, but it won't be the slowest either.

The first long-range weapon of choice is the STG. The STG is one of the most versatile weapons and can be used for every playstyle. Whether you're an aggressive player or a more laidback player, the STG should always be your go-to weapon when it comes to Caldera.

The significance of the STG can be compared to that of the XM4 of the Black Ops Cold War or the M4A1 of Modern Warfare (2019). It is very easy to handle and allows new players to get right into the action, if they have the proper attachments. You can build the STG for maximum damage and range while ensuring it has virtually zero recoil.

The following attachments provide you with the best STG class for Warzone. It has good damage, range, and almost no recoil. It is super easy to handle and deals excellent damage.

The Automaton is currently one of the most powerful assault rifles in Vanguard. It has a great rate of fire, and even with that phenomenal rate of fire, it has zero recoil with the attachments shown below.

The NZ-41 became the first meta gun during season 1 of Warzone and Vanguard. It started as a ground loot and was slowly discovered as one of the most hard-hitting weapons in Warzone and Vanguard multiplayer. The following attachments make this a very low recoil weapon while retaining its high damage profile.

There's only one downside to this weapon: a slow rate of fire. But, it can be countered by using the recoil booster as your muzzle attachment if you're not too bothered about staying hidden in Warzone. But, we all know how critical it is to remain hidden in Warzone, especially when you have a lot more open areas in the new map, Caldera.

The BAR is also a very hard-hitting gun similar to the NZ-41, but has a much slower rate of fire. It is even slower than the NZ-41, so it might be challenging for some to use. However, if you practice with this weapon and get the pattern down, you will be unstoppable. The gun already has very high recoil, so most of the attachments will assist in getting better accuracy and recoil reduction.

The Cooper Carbine was first seen as one of the best ground loots in Caldera, but as more and more people discovered this weapon, it became a meta in the new Warzone Pacific. With the right attachments, this weapon shreds in Warzone. It is possibly one of the best assault rifles in Caldera. It also has a high rate of fire, giving you insane TTK.

The following setups are for short to medium-ranged gunfights and CQC situations. The weapons listed here are some of the best new Vanguard SMGs, and they all shred in Warzone. We recommend the new PPSh, MP-40, or the Cooper Carbine. However, you're not restricted to just these SMGs. Feel free to check out all of them and decide for yourself as they are equally as good.

The close-ranged SMG builds listed below focus more on the mobility aspect of the class and accuracy. If you are an aggressive player and like to push players, these setups are exactly what you should be rocking in Warzone.

The Vanguard edition PPSh is one of the best, if not the best, SMG in Warzone. It deals great damage and provides excellent mobility, allowing players to push enemies with complete confidence.

The MP-40 is the definition of mobility and damage coupled together in both Vanguard multiplayer and Warzone. This is the second most used SMG (secondary) after the PPSh. The following class setup is the best for MP-40 in Warzone Caldera.

As stated earlier, with the ten attachment slots we get on the Vanguard weapons, the possibilities are endless. You can literally convert an AR into an SMG and an SMG into an AR with the proper attachments. This is precisely what we're going to do with the Cooper Carbine. You've already seen the long-range build for this weapon. Here's how you can modify it to clear out buildings and squad up close.

The M1928, also known as the "Tommy Gun," is everyone's favorite SMG in Warzone. There's no better way to describe this weapon other than it's a "feel good" weapon. You feel satisfied when using this weapon due to its almost non-existent recoil with proper attachments. On top of having low recoil, it is a great weapon for CQC situations. Here's the best setup for Warzone Caldera.

Finally, we have the Owen Gun. This gun might be a bit awkward to use at first because of how it is built and shaped. But, if you put on the right attachments, it can be an excellent substitute for your CQC engagements. Note that this build uses a barrel that removes the headshot bonus, but you get better overall body damage and limb damage in exchange. Thanks to this trade-off, the class setup is forgiving for players with a bad or an average aim.

Give these setups a try, and let us know what you think about them in the comment section below. Feel free to leave any suggestions on how these class setups can be improved. As we are still in the early stages of Warzone and Vanguard integration, we can expect a lot of meta shifts in the coming seasons. We will be sure to put out more loadouts for both Vanguard multiplayer and Warzone Pacific.
