The MG42 is a standout among the newLMGs.
All that power comes with a few drawbacks, however.
Thankfully, our guide is here to help you get the most out of your MG42.
Best MG42 Warzone loadout
With the right setup, the MG42 has best-in-class time-to-kill at midrange.
Heres how to build the best Warzone MG42 loadout.
We start off with theMX Silencer, Vanguards closest analog to the Monolithic and Agency Suppressor.
This will be a go-to on many long-range builds, providing stealth and accuracy for a small handling cost.
Handling is, of course, an issue on an LMG, but we can make it up elsewhere.
Next, weve opted for theVDD 890mm 32M Luftschutzbarrel.
This provides all the recoil control we need at the cost of some more handling.
Well start making up for that with theM1941 Hand Stop, which provides a small ADS speed boost.
LMGs are best used at mid to long-range, where their poor mobility matters less.
Magazines, however, are a bit of a trickier matter.
I very nearly recommended no magazine attachment at all to avoid the various penalties they come with.
However, the MG42s biggest weakness is a brutally slow, seven-second reload time.
So, were going with the8mm Klauser 250 Round Box Magazineinstead.
For your ammunition punch in, takeLengthenedrounds for that extra bullet velocity.
TheKruasnick S91MGwill provide even more ADS speed, on top of a little extra recoil control.
For proficiencies, we likeSteadyto help make the MG42s movement a touch less miserable.
Finally, useFully Loadedto confirm you have enough ammo to keep feeding the beast through multiple fights.
Secondary weapon
A bulky LMG like this really needs a speedier partner.
Go for a topSMGand you will be all set.
TheM1912,MP40, andType 100are all great day-one options for Warzone Pacific.
If you want something more familiar, eitherMP5will do nicely.
/Thats everything it’s crucial that you take over Warzone Pacific with the MG42!
