What is the best Warzone RPK loadout? If you love playing with LMGs in Call of Duty, then you’ll love the RPK. Boasting some impressive recoil control at range, the gun has some advantages over its classmates which make it a must in Vondel.
Thanks to its quicker-than-average reload speed and ADS time for its class, the RPK won’t take a century to whip out in a fight. Indeed, the LMG from the Kastovia weapon platform doesn’t pull its punches, and could easily be one of the best Warzone 2 guns, let alone the best Warzone 2 LMG options when kitted out appropriately.
Best Warzone RPK loadout
Here is the best Warzone RPK loadout:
- Muzzle: ZLR Talon 5
- Barrel: TAC 597 Barrel
- Underbarrel: FTAC Ripper 56
- Rear Grip: Demo-X2 Grip
- Optic: Aim OP-V4
Kicking off at the front end of the RPK, the ZLR Talon 5 is a great suppressor that trades off stability for damage range and bullet velocity.
The TAC 597 Barrel gives a smorgasbord of stats – including damage range, hip fire accuracy, movement speed, and bullet velocity – at the cost of recoil control and ADS speed. However, the lost recoil can be tuned out for the most part.
While stability and recoil control have so far been sacrificed, don’t worry. The addition of both the FTAC Ripper 56 and Demo-X2 Grip supply more than enough of these crucial stats to ensure the RPK isn’t an uncontrollable beast.
Finally, in the optics department, we are going with the tried and test Aim OP-V4. Though, as ‘Juany’ demonstrates in his build – which also switches out the rear grip for a bigger magazine to better mow-down teams – the Corio Enforcer Optic is also a solid choice.
Now you have the best Warzone RPK loadout, it’s time to talk class setup. After all, your perks and equipment can make all the difference in Al Mazrah.
Warzone RPK class setup
When running an LMG, you’re going to want to take a short range option for when things get up close and personal. We’d highly recommend either the best Warzone 2 Lachmann Sub loadout or best Warzone 2 Kastov-74u loadout for the job.
As such, when it comes to perks you’ll need to opt for Overkill as the base perk, and so the Weapon Specialist perk package will have to be taken. Alternatively, you could do as ZLANER does and run akimbo P890s instead, giving you the freedom to instead take the Vanguard perk package, or even something like Warden that will grant access to the reload speed-increasing Fast Hands.
Finally, on the equipment front locking in some Drill Charges as your lethal slot option will make clearing out buildings much easier, while the Heartbeat Sensor is the tactical choice thanks to the synergy between the two – recon plus explosive power equals one doomed camper (as long as they don’t have Ghost equipped).
Best Warzone RPK alternatives
The best RPK alternative right now is undoubtedly the Warzone HCR 56 loadout. This hard-hitting, fast-firing LMG has been seen doing illegal things to poor, unsuspecting lobbies down in Vondel, and that’s good enough to garner our recommendation – usage statistics aside.
If you’re after something with even less recoil on the LMG front, then definitely familiarise yourself with our best Warzone 2 RAAL MG loadout guide.
And that’s all you need to know when it comes to building the best Warzone RPK class setup. In the meantime, be sure to familiarize yourself with the current Warzone meta. Good luck.
