The MCW has quickly become a frontrunner in the Warzone meta due to its outstanding accuracy. Here’s the ultimate MCW loadout, covering setup, attachments, and Perks.
Based on the real-world Remington ACR, this classic Call of Duty rifle makes its return – once again being an extremely strong weapon.
While potent in multiplayer the MCW’s focus on accuracy and long-range capabilities translate even better to Warzone making this AR a clear frontrunner to become meta. Its characteristics are comparable to historic top-tier weapons like the Grau 5.56, M13B, and RPK.

Best MCW Warzone loadout
- Muzzle: VT-7 Spiritfire Suppressor
- Barrel: 16.5″ MCW Cyclone Long Barrel
- Optic: VLK 4.0 Optic
- Stock: RB Regal Heavy Stock
- Magazine: 60 Round Drum
Given the MCW’s exceptional accuracy, it’s best to build for range. The two most impactful attachments to improve range are the VT-7 Spiritfire Suppressor and 16.5″ MCW Cyclone Long Barrel. Not only do these bump up the MCW’s effective range, but the Spiritfire also suppresses the gun keeping you hidden.
Thanks to the MCW’s low recoil it’s possible to use a long-range optic like the VLK 4.0 Optic which makes tracking enemies from afar very easy. This is a big advantage this gun has over its MW2 counterparts which struggle with high zoom optics due to their increased visual recoil.
Although its recoil is excellent already it doesn’t hurt to improve it further and make the MCW truly laser-accurate. To accomplish this we recommend equipping the RB Regal Heavy Stock which greatly reduces vertical kick.
Finally, the 60 Round Drum is excellent as it doubles the amount of shots you can fire before having to reload. This is especially important in large-scale Warzone game modes like Trios and Quads.

The MCW is a remarkably accurate weapon making it perfect for Warzone.
MCW Warzone Loadout: Perks and Equipment
- Perk 1: Double Time
- Perk 2: Bomb Squad
- Perk 3: Resupply
- Perk 4: Ghost
- Lethal: Throwing Knife
- Tactical: Smoke Grenade
Double Time remains an excellent Perk slot 1 option as it lets you move around Urzikstan faster by doubling the duration of Tactical Sprint. This partners well with Bomb Squad in slot 2 which can bail you out of an otherwise lethal explosive if you happen to run into an enemy Claymore or Proximity Mine.
For the third Perk slot, Resupply is an underrated choice that constantly replenishes your equipment. This is excellent for supporting your team, especially as it will keep you topped up on Smoke Grenades.
Ghost stands out as the best fourth Perk with this setup as it lets you take advantage of the suppressor and stay of the enemy radar at all times.
Finally, the combination of a Throwing Knife and Smoke Grenade works best for equipment. The former offers you a lethal that can immediately finish off downed enemies while the latter is a must-have for transitioning through open areas and reviving teammates safely.

Best alternative to MCW in Warzone
The closest competitor to the MCW is the BAS-B which is less accurate but hits considerably harder offering a much more competitive TTK. Higher skill players may prefer the battle rifle although it won’t perform as well at long-range.
