Best Warzone loadout for Rebirth Island Resurgence

Building a loadout for Resurgence maps requires a different set of criteria than a class setup for a standard battle royale map. Here are the two best Warzone weapons to use in tandem on Rebirth Island.

Warzone season three finally returned the beloved Resurgence map, Rebirth Island, to the game. Raven Software and Beenox made a few minor changes but delivered a faithfully remastered version of the Alcatraz-inspired environment. Since none of the POIs changed too much, we have a solid idea of which weapons will perform best.

Best Warzone long-range meta class setup for Rebirth Island Resurgence

SOA Subverter

• Barrel: Dozer-90 Long Barrel
• Optic: JAK Glassless Optic
• Muzzle: Casus Brake L
• Underbarrel: Bruen Heavy Support Grip
• Magazine: 50 Round Drum

In the season three update, the SOA Subverter’s max damage range decreased to around 22 meters, down from 25, and its near-to-mid damage range decreased from 46 to 41. Additionally, the battle rifle’s sprint-to-fire time increased from 256 milliseconds to 270 milliseconds, and its aim-down sight time increased from 270. None of those changes impacted the SOA Subverter’s time-to-kill speeds, so it now has the best time-to-kill (TTK) stats in the game from any range for long-range meta weapons. Previously, the RAM-7 was our go-to weapon of choice for Resurgence matches, because it shined in medium and long-range engagements. But after a massive nerf in the most recent seasonal update, we expect the SOA Subverter to be the best weapon to use on Rebirth Island while dealing with any enemy further than 10 meters away.

Our loadout focuses on improving recoil control, damage range, and aiming stability. This combination of attachments should make using the SOA Subverter from any range easy without too many difficulties. The battle rifle has a difficult-to-control recoil pattern, but the gunfights won’t be long enough where that would be an issue on Rebirth Island.

Bruen MK9

• Barrel: 23″ XRK Horizon V2
• Optic: MORS Dot Sight
• Muzzle: Casus Brake
• Underbarrel: Bruen Heavy Support Grip
• Magazine: 60 Round Drum

As one of the easier light machine guns to handle, the Bruen MK9 brings a ton of firepower at incredible ranges, making it a no-brainer when it comes to taking over the battlefield in Resurgence. It also wasn’t touched when it came to weapon adjustments for season three, making it an even stronger choice among the other guns that were changed in the recent patch.

With this build, you have plenty of recoil control to handle the Bruen’s hefty kick, along with plenty of boosts to accuracy and range while still maintaining decent handling so you can respond to threats whether they are relatively close or in long-range engagements.

MORS

• Barrel: Tonne Heavy Barrel
• Laser: Corio LAZ-44 V3
• Ammunition: HVP Anti-Materiel Slug
• Stock: Superlite-90 Stock
• Bolt: Quick Bolt

If you’re looking for a true long-range solution, the MORS is the defacto choice for any sniper rifle connoisseurs in Resurgence. This hard-hitting railgun boasts incredible stopping power at any range, due to the HVP Anti-Materiel Slug, which turns this weapon into a one-shot machine. It also has a very fast ADS speed, weapon swap speed, and reload time.

With the Quick Bolt, you’ll also chamber your next lethal shot with speed and ease, making sure you’re ready to take down the next foe at a moment’s notice. It also helps that this sniper doesn’t even need to reload since it chambers the next shot after every time you fire.

Best Warzone short-range meta class setup for Rebirth Island Resurgence

HRM-9

• Muzzle: ZEHM35 Compensated Flash Hider
• Barrel: Thorn-90 Barrel
• Underbarrel: XTEN Phantom-5 Handstop
• Stock: Folding Stock
• Magazine: 50 Round Drum

Raven Software finally nerfed a few of the best SMGs in Warzone season three. The RAM-9 and AMR9 had their damage values and sprint-to-fire speeds decreased, bringing them more in line with other class offerings. The RAM-9 will still be viable, but we expect the HRM-9 to take over as Warzone’s best short-range meta weapon. Our loadout focuses on improving mobility without sacrificing too much accuracy and range. Thankfully, the SOA Subverter makes up for the HRM-9’s deficiencies in medium and long-range engagements, so you will only have to use it for gunfights within 10 meters.

It’s quite possible the FJX Horus, otherwise regularly known as the MP9, could be one of the best SMGs in Warzone. But we haven’t had enough time to test the new season three weapon, so it’s still too early to tell if it will go toe-to-toe with other options. Based on first impressions, it’s safe to assume that the HRM-9 will be the new cream of the crop.

Striker-9

• Muzzle: JAK BFB
• Underbarrel: Bruen Heavy Support Grip
• Stock: Lachmann Recon Series Stock
• Magazine: 50 Round Drum

Although the HMR-9 is still the defacto best short-range choice, the Striker-9 isn’t lagging behind by any means in the same category. It still has a very short TTK when in the appropriate range, and can become a destructive threat for any players who are ready to run around and zip through the battlefield while getting up close and personal with their foes.

With these attachments, you maintain that same level of mobility while still having plenty of recoil control to reliably burst down any enemies that are in your way. The 50-round drum also ensures you can take down multiple threats at once if you end up running into a tightly grouped squad.
