The best Warzone Armaguerra 43 loadout

When it comes to the meta in Call of Duty: Warzone, the best weapons are far more diversified than they used to be, as clearly indicated by the close-range SMGs. There is a slew of viable options, though many players have gravitated toward the Armaguerra 43, which launched in 2022. This SMG has a lot going for it, with large magazine sizes, a competitive time to kill (TTK), and an overall great feel. While it’s important to deck out your assault rifles for long-range, it’s equally as crucial to make sure your SMGs perform well up-close, including the Armaguerra.

But what’s the best build? With so many attachments and slots and an ever-shifting meta, it can be overwhelming to know how exactly to build your weapons. Here, we’ll go through the best Armaguerra 43 loadout in Call of Duty: Warzone.

The Armaguerra 43 has many benefits and quirks, which we’ll dive into here. For starters, it doesn’t have the best TTKs in the game up close, but according to TrueGameData, it’s in line with many of the best SMGs, only it kills slightly slower (we’re talking a tenth of a second slower). The thing is, this weapon outclasses many of the best SMGs at midrange, making it great for engagements at around 18 meters or so. Because of this, you’ll want to prioritize taking shots beyond the typical close-quarters distances to ensure you’re coming out ahead.

Even still, the Armaguerra 43 can still hold its own up close, especially if you land headshots, which isn’t too difficult to do, considering how easy it is to control. Beyond that, the Arma features a fast rate of fire of 940 RPM, making it more forgiving than many other SMGs in Warzone.

But how should you build this weapon?

Recommended loadout:

Muzzle Recoil Booster
Barrel
Botti 570mm Precisione
Optic Slate Reflector
Stock Imerito SA Folding
Underbarrel Mark VI Skeletal
Magazine 9mm 60 Round Mags
Ammunition Subsonic
Rear Grip Taped Grip
Perk Steady
Perk 2 Quick

There are actually a few variations of Armaguerra 43 builds that could work, but for our recommendation, we’ll stick to a close-quarters loadout that can still function at midrange.

Start with the Recoil Booster Muzzle for an increased fire rate, giving the weapon a better TTK. As its name suggests, this will increase your recoil, but when used up close, this is a non-issue. After that, equip the Botti 570mm Precisione Barrel, giving you better vertical recoil control and improved bullet velocity, which helps when taking shots at midrange.

You’ll want to use an Optic, and for that, we recommend the Slate Reflector since it gives you a clean picture without hurting your aim down sights (ADS) time. Follow that up with the Imerito SA Folding Stock for better sprint-to-fire times and movement speed (perfect for those up-close fights).

As for the Underbarrel, we recommend the Mark VI Skeletal, giving you faster ADS times and better movement speed. You’ll also want to use the 9mm 60 Round Mags, which gives you more ammo with fewer penalties. It does slightly hurt your ADS time and movement speed, but the other attachments will make up for that.

Next, use the Subsonic Ammunition, keeping you from appearing on the minimap when firing. Since you won’t be using a suppressor with this build, Subsonic is crucial. After that, make sure you utilize the Taped Grip for improved sprint-to-fire speed, movement speed, and overall sprint speed.

For your first weapon Perk, we advise using Steady, which boosts your ADS movement speed and ADS firing movement speed. This will lead you to more victories up close. Finally, equip the Quick Perk 2 for a boost to sprint speed. As you can see, this build will ensure you move around as quickly as possible.

Perk 1 Quick Fix
Perk 2 Tempered
Perk 3 Amped

This is more of an aggressive build, so with that in mind, we recommend using Quick Fix for Perk slot 1. Remember, this Perk immediately triggers health regeneration when you secure an elimination and when you apply an armor plate. After that, we like to use Tempered with this build, which allows you to reach max armor with only two plates instead of three. For Perk 3, it’s best to use Amped for faster weapon swap speed.

Lethal Equipment Throwing Knife
Tactical Equipment Stim

When it comes to Equipment, there are a couple of avenues you can take, but if you’re on a smaller map like Rebirth Island or Fortune’s Keep, we recommend Throwing Knives so you can quickly finish off downed enemies without wasting ammo. For Caldera, you can go with Molotovs. We also advise using Stims for Tactical Equipment, which immediately triggers health regeneration and gives you a speed boost.

Activision teases Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III’s biggest improvements
The official logo for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III.

Activision has just teased lots of new details about Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III, which launches this November. That includes the fact that the game will contain a Zombies mode, more open-ended campaign missions, and introduce a new "Call of Duty HQ" that will serve as a hub for all future Call of Duty games.

These details were all revealed in a new blog post posted on the series' website ahead of the in-game event that will give us our first in-depth look at Modern Warfare II. In it, Activision clears up a lot of rumors about the game to try and show that Modern Warfare III is still an "incredible, premium annual game experience across Campaign, Multiplayer and Co-operative modes" despite reportedly starting development as a Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II expansion.
Some of the features listed we already knew about, like the fact that this year's campaign features Makarov as a villain and that players can carry over their progression and inventory from Modern Warfare II. Others are new, though, like the fact that the campaign will feature new "Open Combat" missions. That seems to imply that Modern Warfare III's campaign levels will offer more freedom than is typical in a Call of Duty level. When it comes to multiplayer, the post states that players can expect new combat vest, perk, tac-stance movement, and after-market parts systems in addition to some Riochet Anti-Cheat Improvements.
More importantly, it's finally officially confirmed that this year's game will feature a Zombies mode. Titled Modern Warfare Zombies, Activision calls it the "largest Zombies offering to date." Finally, Activision made it clear that it plans on keeping all Call of Duty content closely bundled together going forward. After Modern Warfare III launches, Call of Duty HQ will be introduced and serve as "one access point for your future Call of Duty content."
While there aren't many specifics on all of these things, we at least now have a broader picture of what to expect from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III when it launches on November 10.

Does Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 have Hardcore mode?

In Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, players have access to a wide variety of multiplayer game modes including Team Deathmatch, Search and Destroy, and the new Prisoner Capture. One of the most popular modes in the series is Hardcore, which has been in the series for years. This intense mode removes the HUD and increases damage across the board. But does this mode appear in the new Modern Warfare 2?

Here's what you need to know about the Hardcore mode in Modern Warfare 2.
Does Modern Warfare 2 have a Hardcore mode?
When Modern Warfare 2 first launched, it didn't have a Hardcode mode, much to the disappointment of fans. Instead, the game had a mode called Tier 1, which was basically a rudimentary version of Hardcore mode, with some missing features. For instance, there's no HUD, whatsoever, no hitmarkers, and no killfeed, which made the mode hard to actually play in some cases. Thankfully, Activision finally did add Hardcore more at the start of 2023, replacing the Tier 1 mode from before.

The new Call of Duty: Warzone FR Avancer assault rifle has just launched as part of season 5, and it's a great addition to the stacked lineup of weapons. While it doesn't really compete at long range, it works well as a sniper support weapon, with fast mobility and a high rate of fire to take down your foes quickly. The new FR Avancer works best on the smaller maps like Vondel and Ashika Island, but that doesn't mean it's completely useless on Al Mazrah. In this guide, we'll cover the best sniper support build for the new FR Avancer in Warzone.
