The best Armaguerra 43 loadout in Warzone

Probably the strongest WWII SMG.

Call of Duty: Warzone Pacific’s Season Two Reloaded update brought the Armaguerra 43 submachine gun to the meta, and it’s become one of the best guns in the game since.

The gun’s in-game description calls it a “very high rate-of-fire SMG” that is “effective at short to medium range engagements,” and it’s a very apt way to describe the new gun. It’s a bullet hose, especially up close, but not meant for long-range engagements on Caldera or elsewhere.

Since its inception, the Armaguerra has become a popular pick in the Warzone meta, especially during the summer of 2022 when Resurgence on Fortune’s Keep is available. Along with the MP-40n and Marco 5, it’s a top-three SMG in the game whether players are hopping into Caldera for BR or Fortune’s Keep or Rebirth Island for Resurgence.

Boasting nearly a 10 percent pick rate on Fortune’s Keep according to WZRanked, the Armaguerra is a meta mainstay in loadouts everywhere on the game’s small-scale maps.

Here’s how to load up your Armaguerra 43 for success in Warzone.

  • Muzzle: Recoil Booster
  • Barrel: Imerito 180mm Short
  • Optic: Slate Reflector
  • Stock: Imerito TA Skeletal
  • Underbarrel: SG98 Compact
  • Magazine: 9mm 60 Round Mags
  • Ammo Type: Lengthened
  • Rear Grip: Grooved Grip
  • Perk 1: Steady
  • Perk 2: Quick

The Armaguerra fits in with the rest of the current Warzone SMG meta, which means it’s time to boost its already-high fire rate for an even stronger DPS, its range so it can be useful in multiple situations, and its control to rein in its recoil.

This set of attachments will do all of those things. The only thing we suggest changing up is the optic. If the Slate Reflector is not your style, try something like the MM Largo or MM SC iron sights for even faster target acquisition.

Pair the Armaguerra 43 with a long-range weapon like a sniper, your favorite assault rifle, or a light machine gun and it’s a killer combo whether you’re dropping into BR or Resurgence.
