JAK Raven MCW SMG in Warzone

The best MCW SMG (JAK Raven) loadout in Warzone

A top-tier AR can also be a really strong SMG.

Aftermarket Parts are truly game-changing in Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone because of how they can completely change the identity and strength of a weapon.

The JAK Raven Kit is one of these Aftermarket Parts. This Conversion Kit completely transforms one of the game’s best overall guns into something entirely different, yet it’s still formidable in its own way. Your MCW assault rifle could and should also be used as an SMG with this kit.

Here’s our pick for the best attachments to use for the JAK Raven Conversion Kit on the MCW in Warzone.

This isn’t the MCW AR you’re used to using. The JAK Raven Kit sacrifices a lot of accuracy and recoil control to increase mobility and handling, turning the reliable rifle into a speedy SMG, making it a top choice for close-quarters combat.

Once you’ve unlocked the JAK Raven Kit and hit max level with the MCW, you can equip this Aftermarket Part. And with our attachments, you’ll be melting foes up close in battle royale or Resurgence in no time.

In season six, this AR-turned-SMG has remained a top meta pick for close-range damage-dealing. Make sure to use our guide to build your own and take it with you for BR and Resurgence alike.

Best JAK Raven MCW build in Warzone

  • Aftermarket Parts: JAK Raven Kit
  • Muzzle: ZEHMN35 Compensated Flash Hider
  • Barrel: Kimura Blackiron Heavy Short Barrel
  • Underbarrel: DR-6 Handstop
  • Magazine: 40 Round Mag

The 40 Round Mag is a necessity here, but the rest of the loadout is all about Mobility and Handling, really leaning into the SMG-like structure for the MCW that the JAK Raven Kit brings. This gun is unrecognizable from the MCW AR that you leveled up with.

But that doesn’t mean it’s bad. In fact, it’s performing quite well in Warzone as one of the top SMGs in the game when it comes to time-to-kill. You’re still likely better off with something like a Striker 9 or WSP-9, but this gun is fun to use if you’re looking to shake things up and will still allow you to hold your own up close.

According to WZRanked, the MCW has become the top pick for weapons in season six, thanks to its ability to be used both as a long-range assault rifle and this build which makes it a close-range killer. Whichever method you prefer, the MCW is a strong option in Warzone.

If ammo was no issue, or if the game actually let you, using two different MCW’s would be a fun time. It can be done if you buy multiple Loadouts, but cash is at a premium in Warzone, so stick with a second, long-range weapon as your primary if you want to use the JAK Raven as your CQC weapon.

Best JAK Raven MCW equipment and perks in Warzone

  • Perk Package
    • Perk One: Double Time
    • Perk Two: E.O.D.
    • Perk Three: Tempered
    • Perk Four: High Alert
  • Secondary weapon: DG-58 LSW or MORS
  • Lethal: Frag Grenade
  • Tactical: Smoke Grenade

This is the best kind of loadout to use in CoD: Warzone. The only changes I might suggest are swapping E.O.D. for something like Sleight of Hand, and High Alert for Ghost, but that’s entirely dependent on your own playstyle and the game mode you choose.

With this loadout equipped, head on out into Warzone solo or with a squad to rack up some high-kill games and dominate the competition with the JAK Raven. Just be careful, because you may end up loving the MCW as an SMG more than as an AR.
