Recommended Custom Perks

• Overkill: The current top-tier weapons are customized for mid or close range, so you’ll need another primary to balance your loadout
• Double Time: Increased movement speed will be critical given low TTK, especially for gaining an advantage in Resurgence
• Fast Hands: Again, speed is the name of the game. Swapping between long and close range, reloads — it doesn’t get any better
• High Alert: Always know when an enemy has you in their crosshairs, even if you can’t see them

Recommended Equipment

• Tactical equipment: Smoke Grenade. Smoke Grenades are incredibly effective in Warzone 2.0 given the game’s short TTK. Smoke grenades will significantly hinder an opponent’s ability to acquire targets and are a great way to disengage from a fight when the cards are stacked against you.
• Lethal equipment: Drill Charge. In our opinion, this is one of the most ‘broken’ items in the current Warzone 2.0 meta as it gives a massive boost to player awareness, which pairs well with the slow and methodical pace of the current game.
