Best loadouts for all weapon types in 2024

There are a number of loadouts that suit different types of players, but we have narrowed it down to one.

The meta supports fast mobility and rapid sniping. As such, we recommend a TAC 50 loadout that can give you just that.

Start with the Muzzle Booster, which increases the rate of fire but affects the recoil slightly.

For the barrel, go with Lightweight because it provides 15% ADS speed and 5% movement speed.

You can choose any optic for sniping, but for this one, we opt for the Sniper Scope (12X). However, if you feel you are not comfortable with high levels of zoom, you can choose the lower magnifying scopes.

All factions and faction abilities

Selecting the extended magazine is by far the best choice, increasing your bullet count for taking down multiple enemies before reloading.

For the rear grip, we are using the Quick Draw, which provides 10% sprint-shoot time and 10% ADS speed. You may also pick the Fabric Grip, which offers 10% ADS speed and 5% ADS stability.

We suggest keeping the stock slot empty.
