Warzone has over 60 guns to choose from for players to add to their loadouts, but the RPK is one of its most vital and exciting options in the game, especially with the best attachments selected.

After multiple nerfs, the RPK isn’t as blisteringly dominant as it was throughout the first few months of Warzone. But it’s still worth using from within the game’s growing number of options.

Here’s a fun loadout with the RPK in Warzone to help you hunt down victories in the battle royale.

  • Muzzle: ZLR Talon Five
    • Recoil smoothness: +1.40oz
    • Bullet velocity: +1.00in
  • Laser: FSS OLE-V Laser
  • Optic: AIM OP-V4
    • Aim down sight speed: -3.00z
  • Underbarrel: FTAC Ripper 56
    • Recoil stabilization: +0.75oz
    • Aiming idle stability: +0.40in
  • Ammunition: 7.62 High Velocity
    • Recoil smoothness: -0.70g
    • Recoil steadiness: -9.00gr

This is an incredibly deadly loadout for the RPK, turning the LMG into a laser that fires seemingly non-stop. It had dominated the Warzone meta for months now, and for good reason, although it’s since been nerfed multiple times. At 75 rounds in the base mag, you don’t need to waste an attachment in the magazine slot, so the rest can be used to buff its accuracy.

The RPK significantly boosts accuracy and range with these attachments, with more minor damage and increased recoil control. There’s not much negation to speak of either, but it does take a bit of a hit regarding mobility and handling, as is par for the course with the Gunsmith.

However, after experimenting with the RPK, I found that this loadout is solid on Al Mazrah when used at mid-range. You may want something with a better range to pair it with, like a marksman rifle or sniper rifle, but this gun is a powerhouse for chunking down enemy armor and HP on battle royale.

Another option is to use this RPK as your primary source of long-range damage and use your secondary slot for something like a Vaznev-9KLachmann Sub, or Fennec 45.

Best perk package for RPK in Warzone

  • Perk Package: Double Time and Battle Hardened, Focus, Ghost

The go-to perk package for Warzone, this setup features everything a battle royale champion could need. Double Time is great for keeping yourself on the move, and Ghost will help you stay off the radar. Meanwhile, Battle Hardened will help lessen the effects of stun and flash grenades, and Focus will help keep your aim steady while taking enemy fire.

Tip: The best LMG’s utilize their fire rate as their strength

Focus on slowing a target’s mobility while pelting them with your high fire rate and range. The Lachmann 556 and RAAL MG are other alternatives worth a go.

Best equipment for RPK in Warzone

  • Tactical: Flash or Stun
  •  Lethal: Semtex or Throwing Knife

You can go right with a flash or a stun in Warzone since both tacticals are extremely powerful. When choosing a lethal, it’s the player’s preference on whether you like explosions or precision.
