Best VEL 46 loadout build in Warzone 2
Here are the best VEL 46 loadout attachments in Warzone 2:
Rather than sending the VEL 46’s recoil spiralling out of control with a collapsed Stock or similarly extreme changes, we want to keep the gun feeling accurate with as little impact to mobility as possible, so it remains one of the lightest and most responsive SMGs on offer in Warzone 2.
This balanced and effective VEL 46 loadout build is ideal for close-quarters fights against multiple adversaries.
TheAVR-T90 Compis a great first pick for recoil control, both because of its focus on horizontal recoil (where SMGs tend to suffer most) and because it costs only a tiny amount of ADS speed.
We also don’t want to attach a Barrel, because almost all of the potentially useful Barrel attachments come at the cost of things we value about our VEL 46 build: hipfire accuracy, effective range, and ADS speed. So instead we’ve skipped ahead to the Underbarrel and attached anFTAC Ripper 56for its excellent recoil control both in ADS and while firing from the hip.
Finally, seeing as the VEL 46 ironsights are good enough to do without one of the Warzone 2 Optics, we’ve added theSchlager Soldier Gripand theLM Precision Stockto add an overall minor boost to both aiming stability (which affects not just idle sway but also recoil) and the gun’s ADS speed.
This combination of attachments might be considered unusual due to the lack of Barrel and Magazine attachments, but it makes for a very balanced and effective VEL 46 build which keeps the gun feeling speedy and also accurate without ruining any other aspect of the SMG in exchange.
Best VEL 46 loadout secondary weapon
The VEL 46 is a powerful and fast-firing close-range SMG, so it makes most sense to pair it with a hard-hitting rifle for long-distance encounters. You have a few options here: for dedicated sharpshooting, you should pick up either aVictus XMRor the weaker but faster-firingSignal 50, both of which are among thebest Sniper Rifles in Warzone 2right now.
If you want another automatic weapon in your VEL 46 loadout’s secondary slot, you should still make sure it’s capable of fighting over long distances. That’s why we’d recommend theSTB 556. It’s thebest Assault Rifle in Warzone 2, thanks to its extreme laserbeam-like accuracy when kit out correctly. This makes it the perfect antithesis to the VEL 46, and rounds out the loadout very nicely so you can adapt to almost any situation in your next Warzone 2 match.
Best VEL 46 class setup: Perks and Equipment
If you’re planning to pick up a fullloadout drop in Warzone 2, then you should also plan ahead and think about the best perks and equipment to take into battle as part of your VEL 46 class.
In Warzone 2 you can only select preset Perk packages for each custom loadout, rather than customising the Perks individually. With that in mind, we’d highly recommend you pick theWarden Perk Package(Double Time, Strong Arm, Fast Hands, Overclock) for your VEL 46 build.
Taking Fast Hands pushes the VEL 46’s already fast handling and reload speeds into insanely fast territory, which allows you to react and fire faster than your enemies. Double Time is also very useful for staying on the move, repositioning quickly, and closing the distance between yourself and the enemy so you can make best use of your VEL 46.
As for Equipment, we’d recommend you take in aStun Grenadeand someC4. The Stun Grenade is perfect for initiating around a corner or in confined indoor locations before you attack with the VEL 46. And the C4 is a universally useful explosive tool that can handily deal with enemy soldiers both on foot and in vehicles near to you.
