Warzone Pacific (Season 2): The Best Kar98k Loadout

Editor’s Note: A lawsuit has been filed against Activision Blizzard by the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing, which alleges the company has engaged in abuse, discrimination, and retaliation against its female employees. Activision Blizzard has denied the allegations. The full details of the Activision Blizzard lawsuit (content warning: rape, suicide, abuse, harassment) are being updated as new information becomes available.

One of the best weapon loadouts that many skilled players use in Warzone Pacific Caldera: Season 2 is the Kar98k, specifically the marksman rifle from Modern Warfare that has been part of the popular battle royale since its debut in March 2020. Many players have continued to use this weapon time and time again for its ability to knock enemies down with one shot to the head. Additionally, its quick aim down sight speed, and ease of use at distance has made the Kar98k a popular choice as well, particularly for those players who also prefer aggressive gameplay.

The Kar98k continues to be one of the best weapons to use in Warzone Pacific Caldera, whether operators are playing on the Warzone Pacific map or in the Rebirth alternative BR game mode. With the best attachments, players can fully optimize this weapon to make it feel precise at a distance just as much as they can make the Kar98k quick and deadly up-close. Additionally, there are many different weapons, specifically several SMG and assault rifles, that compliment this marksman rifle for the most aggressive players.

One of the reasons why the Kar98k continues to stand the test of time is because little has been done to change the weapon all around since Warzone’s launch. Its consistency is one of the reasons why it is the best sniper rifle and one of the best weapons overall in Warzone Pacific Caldera. The weapon attachments for the Kar98k have also barely been changed over the past two years, and so many players may already have the best Kar98k built, or they’ve seen or used a somewhat similar build in the past.

The Best Kar98k Attachments In Warzone Pacific Caldera

• Muzzle: Monolithic Suppressor
• Barrel: Singuard Custom 27.6″
• Laser: Tac Laser
• Optic: Sniper Scope
• Stock: FTAC Sport Comb

Both the Monolithic Suppressor and Singuard Custom 27.6″ barrel increase the Kar98k’s damage range, in addition to the suppressor keeping players off of enemy radar and the barrel improving bullet velocity. Bullet velocity is important for a distance rifle in the battle royale because it extends the distance a bullet can travel before the Kar98k’s damage begins to decrease, making it a favorable stat to increase for all of the best sniper rifle loadouts in Warzone.

Equipping both the Tac Laser and Sniper Scope ensure that the ADS speed is increased with the former while the sight distance is magnified with the latter. Additionally, the FTAC Sport Comb further decreases the ADS time, making it the preferred fifth attachment for many of the top-tier Warzone players. To complement the Kar98k’s speed, players should consider equipping an MP40 or Type 100 in this Warzone Pacific Caldera loadout as well for Season 2.

Warzone is available on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X, Xbox One, and PC.
