Although nerfs are coming for now this versatile marksman rifle remains one of the strongest weapons in Warzone, and this is the best MTZ Interceptor Warzone loadout to dominate games with.
Following community outcry, the devs have confirmed that an MTZ Interceptor nerf will be coming sooner rather than later. However, until then this dominant marksman rifle will remain one of if not the best long-range weapons to use on your loadout.
Rather than sitting around waiting for it to be nerfed, why not get stuck in and make the most of it while it lasts? After all, this is the closest we’ve gotten to another DMR-14 meta since the infamous Black Ops Cold War primary itself.
With that said, here’s the best MTZ Interceptor Warzone loadout perfect for dominating lobbies.

Best MTZ Interceptor Warzone loadout
- Muzzle: VT-7 Spiritfire Suppressor L
- Barrel: MTZ Blackthorn Barrel
- Optic: Corio Eagleseye 2.5x
- Stock: MCW Blackjack
- Magazine: 20 Round Mag
The main priority with the MTZ Interceptor is to maximize range while minimizing recoil. The two most impactful attachments for this are the MCW Blackjack stock and MTZ Blackthorn Barrel which when used together make the marksman rifle much more accurate.
Continuing the theme of recoil and range, the VT-7 Spiritfire Suppressor is an excellent attachment that not only bumps up those key stats but also silences the MTZ Interceptor. This keeps you off the minimap making it harder for enemies to find you.
As with most Warzone guns, a larger magazine is beneficial to reduce the amount of reloads required and the biggest on the MTZ Interceptor is the 20 Round Mag. Finally, an easy-to-use medium to long-range optic like the Corio Eagleseye 2.5x is perfect for a precision weapon like this.
The MTZ Interceptor is an unbelievable marksman rifle with a spectacular TTK from literally any range.
MTZ Interceptor Warzone Loadout: Perks and Equipment
- Perk 1: Double Time
- Perk 2: Focus
- Perk 3: Cold-Blooded
- Perk 4: Combat Scout
- Lethal: Proximity Mine
- Tactical: Smoke Grenade
As with most Warzone loadouts, Double Time is an excellent option that provides additional mobility by improving your Tactical Sprint. For Perk slot 2, Focus lends itself well to the MTZ Interceptor by reducing flinch ensuring your shots hit their mark even when under pressure.
Cold-Blooded is practically a must with a precision weapon like this as it negates High Alert making it harder for enemies to predict and dodge your shots. Furthermore, it stops you from showing up on thermal optics which is useful.
Though there are several good options in Perk slot 4, Combat Scout stands out as having the best synergy with the MTZ Interceptor. It automatically pings and marks targets you shoot at for your teammates providing unbeatable callouts and communication.
Since you are likely to be playing a little slower with the MTZ Interceptor, a Proximity Mine is a good idea to prevent enemies from flanking you as easily. Then when you need to rotate or move a Smoke Grenade can be used to cover open areas that would otherwise be dangerous.
How to unlock MTZ Interceptor in Warzone
The MTZ Interceptor is an Armory Unlock which can be activated after reaching Level 25 and then completing five daily objectives. Alternatively, extracting with an MTZ Interceptor in Zombies will immediately unlock the marksman rifle letting you skip the grind entirely.
Best alternative to MTZ Interceptor in Warzone
Another marksman rifle that excels in Warzone is the DM56. While it may not have the same punchiness as the MTZ Interceptor, the DM56 is significantly more mobile and better suited to a run-and-gun playstyle which some higher-skilled players may prefer.
