Best BAS-P loadout for Warzone & MW3
Once upon a time, no one would have believed that the poor-man’s BAS-P would ever become one of Warzone’s best SMGs… and yet now, here we are. Yes, the BAS-P is an absolute pitbull, dominating the gun meta in Warzone and MW3 as though it always planned on doing exactly that.
With its aggressive fire rate and modular frame, it’s no wonder the A-Tier BAS-P is praised as being “perfect for the discerning operator who wants to customize their submachine gun.”
The BAS-P became so popular, plenty of players were worried it would be knocked down a peg or two with some nasty nerfs with the release of Modern Warfare 3 and the latest Warzone developments.
Those fears were dead wrong, especially for those with a top BAS-P loadout to fall back on. And speaking of a top build for this beast of an SMG…
How do you unlock the BAS-P?
You can unlock the BAS-P by progressing through the Season 1 Battle Pass in Warzone or Modern Warfare II/III. Specifically, it’s found in Sector A6 of the Battle Pass. To access it, you need to unlock the preceding sectors that lead to A6, which can be done with either the free or premium track, you don’t have to buy the paid pass to get it. Once you reach that sector, you can claim the BAS-P as a free weapon reward. After unlocking it, level up the gun to access attachments and tuning options for your preferred loadout.

Attachments
Don’t you just hate recoil? Well, that’s why we’ve chosen the Lacerta Compensator muzzle – to tame the often potent kick from the BAS-P.
This choice of laser, stock, and rear grip in your BAS-P build will enhance your SMG with a fiery speed boost to your ADS and sprint-to-fire, and that basically turns this already formidable firecracker of a gun into a deadly dragon your enemies are sure to get burned by.
Perks and equipment
We feel that Double Time and Fast Hands complement the vibe of the BAS-P too well to ignore. This SMG is all about becoming a total speed freak killstreak monster, and these two perks will help you do just that.
Ghost, because… well, it’s tough to argue with being hidden from enemy UAVs while you swoop in close for the kill.
Meanwhile, Semtex is just great for any camping enemies you come across, and Flash ‘nades are the perfect companion for your up-in-your-grill kills.
FAQs
What is the BAS-P in Call of Duty?
The BAS-P is a submachine gun weapon added to the Call of Duty series during Season 1 of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II. It uses the Bruen Ops platform and is designed for aggressive play: high fire rate, modular attachments, and good mobility. It’s often compared to other fast-SMGs and is aimed at players who want to dominate close-to-mid-range engagements.
Is the BAS-P good in Call of Duty: Warzone?
Yes—but with caveats. The BAS-P is strong in Warzone for close-to-mid fights because its fire rate and maneuverability give it an edge in those ranges. However, it struggles at longer distances due to lower bullet velocity and more noticeable recoil. With the right attachments (for recoil control and velocity) it becomes a viable choice; without tuning, its performance drops off in broader open-combat areas.
