The weapon meta of Call of Duty: Warzone Season 3 Reloaded features a wide variety of options for players. Raven Software has made many weapons viable after the Reloaded update, many of which come from Vanguard. One of the more underrated weapon options from Vanguard comes from the assault rifle category; the NZ-41. For multiple seasons, the NZ-41 has been a reliable backup loadout to the top contenders in Warzone, such as the Automaton and STG44. However, in Season 3 Reloaded, the NZ-41 comes closer to matching the other top AR options.
The recommended loadout for NZ-41 players has changed multiple times since Vanguard was integrated into Warzone. After the Reloaded update, content creators gave the NZ-41 loadout a final revision — this one comes from @TrueGameData, a creator that analyzes Warzone weapons, attachments, and statistics, focuses on range and accuracy.
Best NZ-41 loadout in Warzone
The main attributes of the NZ-41 in Warzone are that it has close to no recoil, decent mobility, and a slightly above average damage range. This AR may not be able compete outright with something like the STG44 in a one-on-one, but the loadout created by TrueGameData at least gives players using it a fighting chance.
- Muzzle: MX Silencer
- Barrel: LOR MK1 Burst
- Optic: SVT-40 PU Scope 3-6x
- Stock: LOR MK3 SC
- Underbarrel: M1930 Strife Angled
- Magazine: 6.5mm Sakura 50 Round Mags
- Ammo Type: Lengthened
- Rear Grip: Granular Grip
- Perk: Fully Loaded
- Perk2: Acrobatic
A standout feature of this loadout is the LOR MK1 Burst barrel. This means that the NZ-41 will default to a three-round burst but players can switch to Full Auto once they’re in-game, essential to making the NZ-41 a viable option in Season 3 Reloaded of Warzone. The rest of the loadout increases the gun’s damage range, bullet velocity, recoil control and will suppress fire; giving players an unexpected edge from a previously unassuming weapon.
