You may want to know the best Warzone M1916 loadouts and attachments to make the most of this deadly long-range rifle during your games. Warzone has been immensely popular since its 2020 release, and part of its popularity is due to the drip feed of new content, such as maps, locations, and weapons. So if you want to make the most of the latest weapon to join the battle royale, check out our best Warzone M1916 loadouts.

Best Warzone M1916 Loadouts: Unlocking The M1916

You won't be able to jump into season three of Warzone and begin using the M1916 straight away, but thankfully it doesn't take too long to unlock. You will need to reach level 15 of the free track for the new battle pass before you incorporate it into your loadouts. The weapon is shaping up to be one of the more powerful guns in the current meta, and with just the right loadout and perks, it's a fantastic choice in any capable hands. 

  • We also have a breakdown of all we've heard about the new Warzone map that's set to come later in the year after the Modern Warfare II release. 

Best Warzone M1916 Loadouts: Caldera

Caldera is the type of map where the M1916 really shines due to the long-ranges and numerous vantage points, meaning if you hit your shots you can be a deadly force before enemies even know you are there. We've opted to go for attachments that allow the weapon to improve on its strengths even more, giving it even greater accuracy and improving the damage further. These are:

 

  • Muzzle: F8 Stabilizer
  • Barrel: ZP 762mm Precision
  • Optic: SVT-40 PU Scope 3-6x
  • Stock: ZP M502 Custom
  • Underbarrel: M1941 Hand Stop
  • Magazine: 6.5mm Sakura 20 Round Mag
  • Ammo Type: Lengthened
  • Rear Grip: Leather Grip
  • Perk 1: On-Hand
  • Perk 2: Vital

Best Warzone M1916 Loadouts: Rebirth Island

Our M1916 loadout for the Rebirth Island map manages to keep the weapon's strengths front and centre, while still adapting to the shorter ranges and bigger need for stealth on this smaller map. The silencer comes in very handy in a manner of situations, while also keeping you off the minimap and forcing enemies to guess where you are much of the time. You'll still be a force at longer ranges, but due to the shorter site lines on Rebirth Island, it's not often you'll get to make use of that advantage. Our attachment choices are:

  • Muzzle: Mercury Silencer
  • Barrel: ZP 762mm Precision
  • Optic: G16 2.5x
  • Stock: ZP M502 Custom
  • Underbarrel: M1941 Hand Stop
  • Magazine: 6.5mm Sakura 20 Round Mag
  • Ammo Type: Lengthened
  • Rear Grip: Stippled Grip
  • Perk 1: Quickscope
  • Perk 2: Quick

Best Warzone M1916 Loadouts: Perks And Equipment

When it comes to your Perk choice for this build, it really comes down to the exact playstyle you have, but we have some suggestions to give you an advantage based on how the weapon is best utilised. 

Firstly we recommend Ghost due to its stealth capabilities. This lets you stay off the minimap, hiding you from UAVs and the spotting function, meaning you can still escape some hairy situations if you are located by enemies. This Perk really plays to the long-range strengths of the M1916, as you may often want to scout populated places or highways of movement for enemies to take out. 

Overkill is another solid choice that lets you equip two primary weapons, meaning you can hold another gun that counters the weaknesses of the M1916. SMGs or shotguns work well here as close-range alternatives when you come across enemies or are moving through smaller environments.

Lastly we have Amped which pairs well with Overkill, letting you swap weapons faster. This is especially useful if an enemy manages to get the jump on you, and you're forced to bring out a close-range weapon. It also works the opposite way if you need to quickly bring out your M1916 to line up a long range shot on someone who's nearly out of sight. 

That's all for our rundown of the best Warzone M1916 loadouts and attachments, meaning you'll be able to dominate the opposition on any map and in any situation.
