Best TAQ-56 Loadout for Warzone
Warzone has an incredibly diverse gun arsenal, with newer updates, introducing even more weapons to the game and switching up the previously existing meta that once dominated the game. With developers introducing nerfs to certain weapons, the usage rates of their alternatives often tend to skyrocket, a trend that has been remarkably noticeable with the TAQ-56 Assault Rifle, especially after the nerfs to Kastov 762, an unfortunate outcome of Warzone 2 Season 6 update.
How to unlock the TAQ-56 Assault Rifle in Warzone 2?
In order to use the TAQ-56 in Warzone 2, players will need to reach military level 19, a feat that isn’t extremely difficult or attainable especially if you own Call of Duty Modern Warfare III since gaining XP in those modes are much quicker and allow you to progress through the weapon and also unlock its attachments relatively fast.
Best loadout for TAQ-56 in Warzone
TAQ-56 is an extremely effective mid-range weapon, but in order to reap its benefits further and make it more adaptable to in-game scenarios for Warzone, it is recommended to use attachments that can extend its range and boost its capabilities without having to leave your cover.
• Muzzle: Harbinger D20
• Barrel: 17.5″ Tundra Pro Barrel
• Optic: Aim Op-V4
• Underbarrel: FTAC Ripper 56
• Magazine: 60 Round Mag
As opposed to Multiplayer game mode like you would in Modern Warfare III, where you would prioritize a much lethal ammunition style such as 5.56 High Velocity instead of a higher magazine capacity, the latter has proven to be more effective in Battle Royale game mode as offered in Warzone 2 primarily due to the accuracy falloff at a longer range being greater and also the lack of immediate respawn and having a rigid, ultimate consequence to dying.
The rationale behind each attachment is straightforward; the Op-V4 optics provide effective long-range aiming without compromising mobility or adversely affecting performance during Aim Down Sights (ADS). The Harbinger D20 Muzzle, 17.5″ Tundra Pro Barrel, and FTAC Ripper 56 Underbarrel enhance damage range while stabilizing recoil and improving hip-fire accuracy. Lastly, the 60 Round Mag allows you to engage multiple enemies without the need to reload.
While this TAQ-56 loadout is widely regarded as optimal for Warzone 2 gameplay, personal preferences may influence its performance. If any feature of the loadout feels counterintuitive to your style of gameplay, consider adjusting it using in-game sliders or substituting attachments to tailor the loadout to your liking.
Best perks for TAQ-56 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 opponents either in a direct gunfight or in events leading up to one. Here are our recommendations of the best perk for the aforementioned TAQ-56 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.
FAQs
Is the TAQ-56 good?
Yes, the TAQ-56 is considered a solid mid-range assault rifle. It handles recoil well and can deliver reliable damage, especially when outfitted with proper attachments to enhance bullet velocity and control. It may not outclass the best SMGs up close or long-range snipers, but for general use it hits a good balance.
What is the fastest killing gun in Warzone?
In close-quarters combat, SMGs typically have the fastest kill times (TTK), because they fire quickly and deal high damage up close. Among assault rifles, some of the top contenders are ones with high fire rates and damage tuning—guns like the BP50 are often mentioned by players as having very fast TTKs among ARs.
How to get 8 attachments in Warzone?
To use 8 attachments on a weapon, you usually need to unlock and use a Wildcard slot (often Gunfighter) or meet the game’s progression requirement that lets you equip extra attachments. Once you have that wildcard enabled, your weapon slots expand from the default five to eight attachments.
