The Warzone meta seems to shift every few months whenever a new weapon comes to the game. Since the MAC-10 was added with the inception of Black Ops Cold War, it’s was a mainstay SMG for a long time in the game. Now, it’s seeing a resurgence in the summer of 2022 during the year of Vanguard, thanks to small-scale maps Rebirth Island and Fortune’s Keep.

The MAC-10 is a favorite for one of the best Cold War guns in Warzone. It’s a bullet-hose submachine gun that excels at close range but fails at a distance and it’s absolutely worth leveling up to see how you can play with it.

Here’s the best way to kit out your MAC-10 for success in Warzone.

This loadout is all about maximizing the MAC-10’s damage range while helping with its damage and mobility. The SMG absolutely shreds up close, actually making it a formidable counter to Warzone-heavy shotguns or other close-range options in the meta.

This MAC-10 needs to be paired with an assault rifle, like an NZ-41, Cooper Carbine, AMAX, or even an M16 or AUG. It’s best used when in close-quarters situations because you run the risk of being out-gunned by anything with more control or at mid to long-range distances.

Mobility is key here, too, allowing players to quickly swap to this instead of their primary weapon when it’s time to haul ass across Rebirth Island or Fortune’s Keep with swiftness.
