April 10, 2024: Season 3 is in full swing and we've updated the best MCW loadout and the best attachments to reflect the current meta.

Curious to learn about the best Warzone MCW loadout? We've got everything you need to know.

Season 3 marks the halfway point of the current Call of Duty cycle and thanks to another round of weapon buffs and nerfs, the MCW assault rifle (AR) remains a viable option for mid-range combat thanks to its steady rate of fire and low levels of recoil.

Before we reveal more about the best MCW loadout for battle royale action, check out the best MORS loadout for long-range duels and how to get the Squad Rage field upgrade.

What is the best Warzone MCW loadout?

  • Perks - EOD, Battle Hardened, Escapist, High Alert
  • Equipment - Frag Grenade, Battle Rage

Best Warzone MCW attachments

Here are the attachments that you should get for the MCW 545 to make the best out of the gun, by improving its damage range, stability, bullet velocity, and more.

  • Muzzle - VT-7 Spiritfire Suppressor
  • Barrel - 16.5" MCW Cyclone Long Barrel
  • Optic - Corio Eagleseye 2.5x
  • Underbarrel: Bruen Heavy Support Grip
  • Magazine - 40 Round Mag

For enhanced bullet velocity, damage output, and range, the VT-7 Spiritfire Suppressor and 16.5" MCW Cyclone Long Barrel are excellent options. For a clear view of the action, the Corio Eagleseye 2.5x optic provides a slight zoom without distorting peripheral vision.

To minimise recoil, the Bruen Heavy Support Grip comes into its own while the 60 Round Drum increases ammo capacity to give you the best chance of dealing with a squad with a single magazine.

As for perks and equipment for the MCW in Warzone, check out our recommendations below.

Perks

  • Perk 1: EOD
  • Perk 2: Battle Hardened
  • B: Escapist
  • Ultimate: High Alert

The pairing of EOD and Battle Hardened is back in full force. EOD increases resistance to explosives while Battle Hardened increases resistance to tactical equipment such as stun, flash, and EMP grenades.

Escapist is a brand-new perk that increases downed, prone, and crouch speed which makes all the difference if you're trying to move around with an element of stealth.

Lastly is High Alert. Your vision will pulse when an enemy has clocked your location, giving you time to decide whether the best MCW loadout can take care of them or you need to retreat to safety.

Equipment

  • Lethal: Frag Grenade
  • Tactical: Battle Rage

You can't go wrong with a Frag Grenade, thrown into a group of enemies while you take cover. Battle Rage helps you recover health quickly while granting better vision, and you'll also gain resistance to tactical equipment.

Is the Warzone MCW meta?

Without a doubt, the MCW is indeed meta in Warzone. With these attachments and perks, you can push the gun's accuracy and damage to the absolute maximum.
