The best AMR9 loadout in Warzone season 2

This easy-to-use SMG can fit any role.

Call of Duty’s massive roster of guns can be tough to navigate. What sets the AMR9 SMG apart from the rest of the competition in Warzone is an easy-to-control recoil pattern and no significant damage drop-offs at range.

As part of the season one reloaded update, the AMR9 had its max, near to mid, and minimum damage values increased. After the buff, the SMG skyrocketed in popularity rankings and became the most used weapon in the game, according to WZ Ranked. A second surprise buff only elevated the weapon’s status even more, and everyone should give this SMG a go.

In the previously mentioned surprise buff, the AMR9 had its fire rate increased from 789 rpm to 833 rpm. Because of the increased fire rate, the AMR9’s time-to-kill (TTK) speed now leads all short-range-meta options at 576 milliseconds, and that extends out to 20 meters. Previously, the SMG’s TTK speed was around 600 ms, and that number was even worse because of the weapon’s slow sprint-to-fire speed. There aren’t many short-range meta weapons better than the AMR9.

Best AMR9 weapon build in Warzone

  • Muzzle: Spiral V3.5 Flash Hider
  • Barrel: AMR9 Commando Pro Barrel
  • Optic: MK.3 Reflector
  • Stock: DAV15 Light Tactical Stock
  • Magazine: 50 Round Mag

The Spiral v3.5 Flash Hider was a popular attachment in MW2 multiplayer and WZ2, and the muzzle makes the same positive impact on Urzikstan. The attachment slightly decreases ADS speed but greatly improves recoil control across the board.

As a countermeasure, the AMR9 Commando Pro Barrel recoups some mobility at the cost of recoil control. Next, the DAV15 Light Tactical stock improves aim walking speed and movement speed to round out the loadout evenly. Unfortunately, the iron sight doesn’t provide a clean sightline, so we recommend using the MK.3 Reflector. Finally, a 50 Round Mag makes it effortless to take on multiple enemies at once.

Best AMR9 class perks and equipment in MW3 Warzone

  • Perk Package
    • Perk One: Double Time
    • Perk Two: Sleight of Hand
    • Perk Three: Tempered
    • Perk Four: High Alert
  • Secondary weapon: BAS-B or Pulemyot 762
  • Lethal: Frag Grenade
  • Tactical: Smoke Grenade

There isn’t too much variation in our perk selection from loadout to loadout, but it’s clear to see why. Double Time is an absolute must on Urzikstan, as players will need to evade gunfights or rotate quicker to withstand fast time-to-kill speeds. The extra sprint duration and quicker refresh times could be the difference between life and death.

Sleight of Hand speeds up reload times, which is essential for returning to a gunfight faster. Tempered is our early pick for the best perk in Warzone, as it makes full armor possible with two plates instead of three. Finally, High Alert gives players an extra second to respond before getting shredded by rapid TTK weapons. Frag Grenades make it easy to flush out enemies hiding behind an object, while Smoke Grenades will be your savior when running across an open space. Lastly, We recommend pairing this loadout with a long-range meta weapon.
