The best Warzone H4 Blixen loadout

Joseph Yaden
By

The current Call of Duty: Warzone weapon meta is wide open, with a slew of viable weapons across the board. Still, there are some weapons that come out ahead, statistically speaking. One of those is the H4 Blixen, an SMG that was added earlier in 2022.

Since its implementation, the Blixen has been a top SMG thanks to its fast time to kill (TTK), versatility, and ease of use. Though, with 70 different attachments to choose from, it can be overwhelming to build the best version of this weapon.

As usual, let’s first take a look at how the H4 Blixen works and the best playstyles to use with it. Since it’s an SMG, the Blixen works best at close range, though it does have low recoil, making it a good choice for those mid-range battles as well. Its TTK is slightly slower than the Armaguerra 43 up close, though the difference is negligible.

The same can be said about the Marco 5, as the Blixen kills ever-so-slightly slower, but considering all the variables that go into securing eliminations, you likely won’t notice much of a difference in this regard. The H4 Blixen feels nothing like the Marco and Arma, so even though its TTK is a little worse, you might still enjoy using it. Overall, the Blixen is a competitive choice that is worth trying, especially at close-range.

Recommended loadout:

Muzzle Recoil Booster
Barrel
Bergström 17-inch F3
Optic Slate Reflector
Stock Removed Stock
Underbarrel Mark IV Skeletal
Magazine
7.62 Gorenko 54 Round Mags
Ammunition Subsonic
Rear Grip Taped Grip
Perk Fleet
Perk 2 Quick

With this build, we recommend maximizing the weapon’s TTK to ensure it’s as effective as possible up-close. You’ll want to be able to compete against those using the Marco 5 and the Armaguerra 43, so be sure to use all the attachments that improve damage output in this case.

Start with the Recoil Booster Muzzle for a faster fire rate, which improves the TTK. This does increase the recoil, but up close, that won’t make a huge difference. Next, go with the Bergström 17-inch F3 Barrel to improve the overall damage while also decreasing its vertical and horizontal recoil, making it easier to control.

Next, equip the Slate Reflector Optic, which gives you a clear sight without penalizing your aim down sights (ADS) time. After that, it’s recommended to use the Removed Stock for faster ADS, sprint-to-fire, movement, and ADS movement speed, giving you a higher chance of winning those close-range battles.

Follow that up with the Mark IV Skeletal Underbarrel for an even greater boost to your ADS speed and overall movement speed. Depending on the mode you’re playing, we recommend using the 7.62 Gorenko 54 Round Mags, though if you’re on smaller team modes, you can get away with just using 36 rounds instead.

Since this build is using the Recoil Booster, you’ll want to equip the Subsonic Ammunition type, which keeps you off the minimap like a suppressor. After that, we highly recommend using the Taped Grip with this build, offering faster sprint-to-fire speed, better movement speed, and an overall boost to sprint times. Equip the Fleet Perk for even faster movement, ADS movement, and sprint speeds. Finish off the build with the Quick Perk 2 for yet another boost to sprint speed. You’ll zip around so fast that your opponents won’t know what hit them.

Perk 1 Quick Fix
Perk 2 Tempered
Perk 3 Amped

When it comes to Perks, there are plenty of viable options, but we almost always gravitate toward Quick Fix since it immediately triggers health regeneration when you apply an armor plate or after securing an elimination. Tempered is also our go-to for Perk slot 2, as it allows you to reach max armor using only two plates instead of three. When using an SMG, it’s typically recommended to utilize Amped to swap to your other weapon faster.

Lethal Throwing Knife
Tactical Stim

Since you’ll be using this weapon up close, it’s recommended to bring Throwing Knives with you to finish off your downed opponents without using ammo. This is especially useful on Resurgence modes since enemies spawn frequently. As for Tactical Equipment, we highly suggest Stims, which immediately trigger health regeneration, even in the gas, which can be used to escape harm’s way.

The best MX Guardian loadout in Warzone
Character holding MX Guardian in Call of Duty.

With the launch of Call of Duty's Season 4 Reloaded update, players now have access to the new MX Guardian shotgun. This fully-auto shotgun is ideal for close-quarters engagements and is best used in smaller-game modes, as it only has 15 slugs in the "clip." Below, we'll list the best MX Guardian loadouts across Warzone and Modern Warfare 2, along with how to unlock the weapon.
How to unlock the MX Guardian
Activision is doing something new with the MX Guardian, requiring players to complete a series of battle pass challenges (rather than just one) to unlock the weapon. To earn the weapon, you need to complete the following challenges to earn each Sector Reward. Keep in mind, you can only gain progress toward these challenges by taking out real players, not AI.

Get 10 ADS Operator kills with shotguns
Get 10 hip fire Operator kills with shotguns
Get 10 headshot Operator kills with shotguns
Get 10 one-shot Operator kills with shotguns

Even if you're an expert Call of Duty: Warzone player, your performance during any given match can be determined by your landing spot. Get unlucky with your drop spot and your team might wipe right off the bat. Likewise, a less experienced player might do well if they land away from the action.

But with so many potential landing spots, it's not always easy to pick a drop point, especially if you're unfamiliar with the game. Thankfully, we've got you covered with everything you'll need to know.

Is Modern Warfare 2 cross-platform?
Characters running on highway in Modern Warfare II.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II is one of the biggest first-person shooters right now. Since multiplayer is such a major component of Modern Warfare II, you might be wondering if the game features cross-platform play, which platforms the game supports, and how cross-progression works.

In this guide, we'll explain everything to know about cross-platform play in Modern Warfare II.
Does Modern Warfare II have crossplay?
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II does support crossplay on PlayStation 4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and PC (via Steam and Battle.net). This means regardless of your platform, you'll be able to play with users on other systems or devices. This works thanks to current Call of Duty games utilizing Activision IDs to track accounts rather than being tied to a particular platform. This does mean you must make an Activision account to play the game.
