The best FTAC Recon loadout in Warzone 2

The journey to finding your favorite gun in Call of Duty: Warzone 2 is a long, winding, neverending road.

Weapons are buffed and nerfed frequently, and new guns are added all the time. Plus it doesn’t help that there were 50-plus guns to begin with at Warzone 2’s launch. One of those weapons, the FTAC Recon battle rifle, hasn’t seen much playing time. But it’s a gun that fans of the M4 and semi-auto guns might find a home with.

The FTAC Recon is “a high-powered .458 battle rifle that delivers severe damage at medium range,” and medium range is exactly where you want to stay with this weapon. If an enemy rushes at you, you can quickly switch to full auto mode to try and spray them down, but it’s not recommended due to the gun’s smaller magazine size.

Here’s the best way to load up the FTAC Recon with attachments to make it viable in Warzone 2.
