The best Warzone FR Avancer loadout

By Joseph Yaden August 8, 2023

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.

The best FR Avancer loadout

Recommended loadout:

Barrel	435mm FR435
Muzzle	Harbinger D20
Underbarrel	FTAC Ripper 56
Magazine	60 Round Mag
Rear Grip	RMT Grip

With this being a sniper-support build, you’ll want to prioritize ease of use at midrange, without absolutely tanking the recoil control and mobility. Start by equipping the 435mm FR435 Barrel for better recoil control, hip recoil control, and bullet velocity. We then recommend the Harbinger D20 Muzzle, which grants sound suppression and boosts bullet velocity, damage range, and recoil smoothness.

After that, it’s best to go with the FTAC Ripper 56 Underbarrel, which improves your aiming idle stability and hip fire accuracy, as well as recoil stabilization. next, we recommend the 60 Round Mag to ensure you have enough ammo to take down your foes (but you can use smaller mags if you’re playing solos or duos). Finish the build with the RMT Grip Rear Grip for improved sprint-to-fire and aim-down sights speeds.

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
Get 30 point blank Operator kills with shotguns

The best places to land in Warzone: Vondel, Al Mazrah, and Ashika Island

Landing on the Vondel map in Warzone.

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.
