Underbarrel – DR-6 Handstop

The Kar98k boasts exceptional damage, making it capable of eliminating enemies with just one or two shots. As such, the loadout primarily prioritizes increasing the speed of aiming down the sights. The attachment combination of Bryson Carbine-S Barrel, SL Razorhawk Laser Light, DR-6 Handstop, and No Stock all contribute to faster overall movement and aiming down sights, making quickscoping effortless. Additionally, the SP-X 80 6.6x scope offers both 6.0x and 11x variations, making it suitable for both mid-range and long-range engagements.

The Compression Carrier Vest is a useful item for players as it enables them to quickly regenerate health upon getting a kill. It is recommended to include this item in the loadout when engaging in close-range quickscoping. Other essential gear in this loadout includes the Marksman Gloves for increased accuracy after being hit, the Stalker Boots for improved strafing while aiming down sights, and the Mag Holster for a faster reload speed.

Recommended Kar98k Loadout for Warzone

Ammunition – 7.92 High Grain Rounds
Barrel – Prazisionsgewehr 762 Long Barrel
Muzzle – Sonic Suppressor L
Optics – SP-X 80 6.6x
Stock – No Stock

The Kar98k Warzone loadout retains the scope and stock, while the other attachments are optimized for the game’s expansive terrain. The 7.92 High Grain Rounds, Prazisionsgewehr 762 Long Barrel, and Sonic Suppressor L all enhance the weapon’s damage range, allowing for one or two-shot kills at long distances.

The recommended loadout for the Warzone weapon should include the Double Time, Fast Hands, High Alert, and Quick Fix perks. Although the gun functions similarly to a sniper rifle, players will require both speed and situational awareness to effectively take shots and continue on the move.
