With many of its main competitors getting nerfed, the MTZ-762 has established itself as one of the best rifles in Warzone, and this is our recommended loadout to get the most out of it.
The MTZ-762 has been hovering around the meta for some time, but the battle rifle has never quite been a top-tier option. Given that it didn’t receive a buff in Season 2 you would expect that to still be the case, but that isn’t true at all.
With several of its competitors getting hit by nerfs the MTZ-762 is now a more appealing option than ever before having finally made that jump into the meta. However, it isn’t the easiest weapon to use and a proper build is required to get the most out of it and take advantage of its incredible TTK.
To help you do just that and dominate lobbies using the MTZ-762, we’ve put together this optimized loadout to use in Warzone.

Best MTZ-762 Warzone loadout
- Muzzle: Casus Brake L
- Barrel: MTZ-Precision Blackthorn Barrel
- Optic: Corio Eagleseye 2.5x
- Stock: EXF Close Quarters Assault Stock
- Magazine: 30 Round Mag
While the MTZ-762 deals a lot of damage it does produce a lot of visual recoil under fire making it harder to hit targets consistently. To fix this a combination of the Casus Brake L muzzle and MTZ-Precision Blackthorn Barrel is recommended with these also improving bullet velocity and damage range.
While those two attachments largely fix the gun’s visual recoil problems they don’t impact its actual recoil nearly as much. For this, you’ll want to equip the EXF Close Quarters Assault Stock which makes the MTZ-762 very accurate even at extreme ranges.
As with any Warzone weapon, a larger magazine is typically best and the MTZ-762’s 30 Round Mag is no exception. Finally, a suitable medium to long-range optic like the Corio Eagleseye 2.5x makes landing shots from afar much easier.
The MTZ-762 has an incredible TTK, letting it down enemy players before they can even react.
MTZ-762 Warzone Loadout: Perks and Equipment
- Perk 1: Double Time
- Perk 2: Mountaineer
- Perk 3: Cold-Blooded
- Perk 4: Birdseye
- Lethal: Frag Grenade
- Tactical: Smoke Grenade
In slot 1, Double Time is always a strong choice as it doubles Tactical Sprint duration and reduces its refresh time. Partnering this with Mountaineer works well with this underrated Perk not only doubling your fall damage resistance but also completely removing the movement penalty after landing.
With the MTZ-762 being a precision weapon Cold-Blooded makes sense with it preventing enemy High Alert users from taking advantage of the meta Perk. Otherwise, players may preemptively dodge incoming shots making it harder to down them with a higher recoil weapon.
For Perk slot 4, Birdseye offers an interesting choice as it greatly enhances the effects of UAVs. When equipped it not only speeds up how fast they scan but until reveals Ghost users which is perfect for flushing out enemies hiding with the stealthy Perk.
The best lethal equipment to use is the Frag Grenade which can be cooked to perfection to prevent enemy players from dodging. Meanwhile, a Smoke Grenade reigns king in the tactical slot with it providing makeshift cover to cross open areas and rescue teammates.

Best alternative to MTZ-762 in Warzone
Another battle rifle with a great TTK is the BAS-B, which is easy enough to use but struggles to have quite the same impact at long range. Even so, its superior handling makes it a better sniper support and more suited to an aggressive playstyle.
