    Looking for the best PDSW 528 loadout for Warzone 2 and MW3? Warzone boasts an incredibly diverse arsenal of weaponry with newer updates introducing even more guns to the game and switching up the previously existing meta that once dominated. 

    The PDSW 528 isn't greatly popular among Warzone players, but it has its enthusiasts that like to try out new guns to capitalize on its niche features, like an especially high fire rate. Still, it gets overshadowed by newer weapons introduced with the release of MWIII. 

    How to unlock the PDSW in Warzone?

    In order to use the PDSW in Warzone, you need to level up your level to Military Rank 5, a feat that isn’t extremely difficult or attainable especially if you own Call of Duty Modern Warfare III since eliminations in multiplayer game modes are much easier to attain. Playing MWIII will also allow you to progress through the PDSW’s levels faster and unlock its attachments quicker. 

    Best loadout for PDSW in Warzone:

    •    Muzzle: Lockshot KT85
    •    Rear Grip: Bruen Q900 Grip
    •    Comb: TV TACComb
    •    Rail: GR33 Light Rail
    •    Laser: VLK LZR 7mW

    The reasoning behind each attachment is clear-cut; incorporating the Lockshot KT85 Muzzle not only enhances your weapon's performance but also aids in maintaining accuracy. The inclusion of the GR33 Light Rail on the rail and the Cronen Mini Red Dot optic work in tandem to extend the weapon's range and improve target acquisition.

    These modifications aim to refine the PDSW's capabilities in various aspects, catering to different encounters and gunfight scenarios. The Lockshot KT85 Muzzle and Bruen Q900 Grip prioritize precision and control, making them beneficial in both short and mid-range encounters. Meanwhile, the TV TACComb and GR33 Light Rail focus on overall handling and range extension, enhancing the weapon's versatility.

    While this PDSW 528 loadout is recognized as optimal for Warzone gameplay, individual preferences can influence its performance. If any aspect of the loadout feels incongruent with your gameplay style, consider making adjustments using in-game sliders or swapping attachments to customize the loadout according to your preferences.

    Best perks for PDSW loadout in Warzone

    No loadout is complete without having a strong set of perks to back it if the mechanical operation of the weapon isn’t enough to outlast your opponent’s either in a direct gunfight or in events leading up to one. Here are our recommendations of the best perk for the aforementioned PDSW loadout:

    •    Base Perk 1: Bomb Squad/Overkill
    •    Base Perk 2: Double Time
    •    Bonus Perk: Fast Hands
    •    Ultimate Perk: Ghost
    •    Lethal Equipment: Drill Charge
    •    Tactical Equipment: Flash Grenade

    For our initial base perk, we have provided a couple of options to choose from and depending on your preference for having two primary weapons Overkill could be extremely effective especially if you have a Sniper as your second weapon and can switch between them quickly using Fast Hands and use Double Time to escape a cornered situation. Using Ghost is extremely clutch especially in Warzone where people don’t hesitate using UAVs frequently, as it will help you remain undetected, prepare for a counterattack or simply let the threat pass and engage later. 

    Best PDSW loadout in Modern Warfare 3 

    If you are looking to equip PDSW in Modern Warfare III, the loadout looks slightly different due to the structure of the game mode being more lenient towards affording deaths and promoting close proximity fights. Here’s our recommendation for the best loadout for PDSW in Modern Warfare III:

    •    Underbarrel: XTEN Gravedigger
    •    Barrel: 17″ Corvus Prorang
    •    Rear Grip: Bruen Q900 Grip
    •    Rail: Integrated Reflex Rail
    •    Laser: VLK LZR 7mW

    As opposed to the loadout suggested for Warzone, the MWIII loadout introduces changes primarily in the Underbarrel and Rear Grip since mobility is a crucial component in the latter game mode.

    FAQs

    Is there a one-shot sniper in Warzone?

    Yes, Warzone does feature several sniper rifles capable of one-shot kills, particularly to the head. The KATT AMR, Victus XMR, and FJX Imperium are the best examples right now. However, one-shot potential depends heavily on weapon setup, bullet velocity, and where you hit the target. Body shots generally won’t down a fully plated enemy, so accuracy and timing matter most. 

    What sniper has the longest range in Warzone?

    The HDR, Victus XMR, and KATT AMR are considered the top long-range sniper rifles in Warzone. The HDR offers excellent bullet velocity and minimal drop, making it perfect for extremely distant engagements. The Victus XMR delivers high stopping power and can maintain lethality at max distance, while the KATT AMR has the best balance between range and one-shot potential. For ultimate range, prioritize attachments that boost bullet velocity, stabilize aim, and reduce sway. 

    How to be a better sniper in Warzone?

    Becoming a better sniper in Warzone requires mastering both aim and positioning. Focus on headshots for quick eliminations and practice controlling recoil and timing. Choose high-ground positions with strong cover, and avoid staying still after a shot—relocate to stay unpredictable. Use attachments that increase bullet velocity and reduce ADS time for faster reactions. Pair your sniper with a strong close-range secondary, like an SMG or shotgun, for defense. Lastly, train in practice modes to refine your aim tracking and learn bullet drop across distances.
