Season two of Call of Duty: Warzone added a new Vanguard assault rifle to its already-existing gargantuan list of options. But thankfully, the KG M40 is worth the time to level up and use in Caldera or Fortune’s Keep.
“Boasting the second highest damage per shot in its category, a similar effective range to the NZ-41, and a fire rate above 600 RPM, this weapon can be a strong contender in mid- to long-range engagements,” Activision said. “Its strengths can be fully unlocked when an Operator can control its recoil, a mix of horizontal and vertical kicks like the Cooper Carbine, but with slightly better centering speed.”
Even several months after its release, including a couple of tweaks and seasonal additions from the Vanguard year, players are continuing to use it as a primary gun with high range and high accuracy to dole out damage from a distance.
In fact, the KG M40 is currently the most popular primary weapon in Warzone by a long shot. It’s got over a 10 percent pick rate on Caldera, with a 3.42 percent win rate and a 1.24 kill/death ratio across all players, according to WZRanked as of August 2022.
Here are the best attachments to run with in the summer of 2022.

The KG M40 is yet another Vanguard assault rifle that deals damage at high range with very little recoil, especially with this loadout equipped. These attachments will highly buff its accuracy and range while penalizing mobility, which isn’t the main point of an AR anyway.
This AR should be paired up with a submachine gun like the Welgun, MP-40, Owen Gun, or your favorite close-range option to swap to when you need to move quickly. Otherwise, pace yourself and pick off enemies at range without much gun kick to speak of.
