Best Warzone EM2 class loadout: Attachments, perks, setup
The EM2 assault rifle landed in Black Ops Cold War and Warzone as part of the Season 5 Battle Pass, and it’s slotted nicely into both games’ metas for Season 6. Here’s the best build for the new AR.
The Season 5 Battle Pass introduced two new weapons tothe game, the EM2 assault rifle and a new SMG called theTec-9. While the Tec-9 looks like a solid addition to the SMG class, the EM2 has really stolen the hearts of some players.
The weapon recoils slightly more than the standard meta assault rifle, but the damage it puts out seeks to balance that. Provided players can manage its kick, it can be a mid to long-range behemoth.
In order to help you get the most out of the EM2 in Warzone, we’ve outlined here the best attachments, perks, and overall setup for the EM2, as well as alternative loadouts that could take your fancy.

The biggest strength of the EM2 is its damage output. It’s not the fastest-firing assault rifle, nor the most sturdy, but the time to kill (TTK) on it is incredibly quick.
For the most part, this is set up like a standard assault rifle build in Warzone. TheAgency Suppressorand25.8″ Task Forcebarrel increase the gun’s effective damage range, bullet velocity, and recoil control, while offering the huge advantage of suppressing your gunfire.
For a long-range weapon, theAxial Arms 3xoptic is perfect, while theSTANAG 50 Rndmagazine ensures you’ll rarely have to reload mid-gunfight, even if it does lower the ADS speed slightly.

Finally, theField Agent Gripimproves recoil control, negating perhaps the biggest drawback of the EM2. Even with this attachment, it will take some time to fully master the gun’s kickback, but with enough practice, you’ll have this lethal weapon under control.

Perks & Equipment
Our suggestions follow that of most meta AR loadouts in Verdansk.E.O.D.helps to reduce explosive damage, whileAmpedmakes switching weapons in those close, intense gunfights even quicker.
Finally,Overkillis perfect on your first loadout so you can easily run an SMG with it, but if you’re approaching the later stages of the game, you might want to set up a class with Ghost too.
If you do opt for two primary weapons, we suggest running theOTs 9or the fan-favoriteMAC-10, so you’re always ready for a close-quarter gunfight if your opponents decide to push you aggressively.
As for your lethal and tactical equipment, these are pretty much bog-standard. You might wish to swap out aHeartbeat SensorforStun Grenadesif you’re in the later stages of the game and most players have Ghost, but this comes down to personal preference.
Alternative to the EM2 loadout
If you enjoy the high damage stats of the EM2 but looking for something a little more sturdy when gunning down opponents, you can’t go far wrong with thetried-and-true XM4.
There are several viable ARs right now, including the AK-47, Krig 6, and Grau among others, but the C58 slightly edges out the others due to its damage output.
At the end of the day, though, it all comes down to personal preference, so be sure to try out the EM2 and see how it feels for you.
