Best Warzone Loadout of the Week – tear up Titanium Trials in style

For this week's best Warzone loadout, YouTuber Metaphor showcases a great build for the Nikita AVT Terminator blueprint alongside a bizarre shotgun

In Call of Duty: Warzone, Titanium Trials is currently in full swing, and things are getting real serious as players are pulling out their sweatiest loadouts to grind their way through the event’s tough challenges. But what if we told you there was a way to still fry your opponents while remaining perfectly on-brand for this Terminator-themed period in Warzone Season 4?

For this week’s featured loadout, we’re bringing you a class that might not be an obvious choice given the current Warzone meta, but one that can hold its own on the battlefield and make everyone’s favourite murderous cyborg proud.

This loadout comes courtesy of popular Warzone YouTuber ‘Metaphor’, and is enticingly named the “double Ray Gun” class. Sadly, the classic Zombies weapon has not been added to the battle royale, before you get too excited. What you’ll see instead is Metaphor using the Neural Net Processor blueprint for the Nikita AVT assault rifle (which makes a Ray Gun-esque sound when firing) and the Blast-O-Matic blueprint for the Gallo SA12 (which makes the Cold War shotgun look like a traditional red Ray Gun).

To Metaphor’s own admission, the Gallo is there solely for the aesthetic and is rather terrible in the current meta, so we’ll be swapping that out for a better close-range option later. For now though, let’s take a look at this Terminator-inspired Nikita AVT, which is far more destructive and can definitely perform at a similar level to the likes of the KG M40.

Metaphor keeps most of the blueprint’s attachments on for this build, of course so that it doesn’t lose its striking appearance, but he does make some tweaks to make it extra powerful. Here’s how his Nikita is set up:

  • Muzzle: Mercury Silencer
  • Barrel: Empress 613mm BFA
  • Optic: SVT-40 PU 3-6x
  • Stock: ZAC M5
  • Underbarrel: M1930 Strife Angled
  • Magazine: 2x54mm R 50 Round Mags
  • Ammunition: Lengthened
  • Rear Grip: Hatched Grip
  • Perk 1: Brace
  • Perk 2: On-Hand

As you can see from Metaphor’s gameplay below, this Nikita AVT Warzone loadout puts in some serious work. And, if you ditch that cool but rather useless Gallo for a suitable secondary, you’ve got yourself a loadout that can deal some serious damage.

We’d recommend not bothering with a shotgun at all and picking one of the best Warzone guns in the game right now, the Armaguerra 43 SMG. For details on the optimum build, go and check out our Armaguerra 43 Warzone loadout guide for all the info you’ll need.

For perks, we’re big fans of what Metaphor was running: Cold Blooded, Overkill, and Combat Scout.

For equipment, Semtex and Stims is what we’d go for to complete this week’s loadout.

So if you’ve been grinding Titanium Trials but you’ve gotten bored of your on-meta loadout, ditch that dull KG M40 and swap it out for a Nikita AVT that’ll make you feel like Arnie himself. Tune back in next week for another powerful or unusual loadout that we’ll be throwing under the spotlight.
