Best Bren Warzone loadout: Class setup, Attachments, Perks

Warzone Bren LMGTreyarch/Activision

ARs and SMGs are often the go-to categories for Warzone players when creating a loadout, but it may be time to head over to the LMG section and give the lethal Bren a try with this optimized class.

Warzone Season 3 tinkered with many of the game’s top guns leaving some gaps to be filled regarding the game’s meta. Despite this, as always, a lot of the LMGs are still struggling to find a foothold in the meta, with only a single one maintaining a high pick rate, and that’s the Bren.

It was given a much-needed nerf during Season 2, but it’s still arguably the most effective LMG in the game if placed in the right hands.

Of course, to get the most out of the weapon you’ll need to run a meta loadout, and luckily, we’ve got you covered.

The Bren is the most picked LMG in Warzone.

Attachments

  • Muzzle: MX Silencer
  • Barrel: Queen’s 705mm Royal
  • Optic: SVT-40 PU Scope 3-6x
  • Stock: Queen’s Model 11 BH
  • Underbarrel: M1941 Hand Stop
  • Magazine: 6.5 Sakura 40 Round Mags
  • Ammo Type: Lengthened
  • Rear Grip: Polymer Grip
  • Perk: Tight Grip
  • Perk2: Fully Loaded

First of all, you’ll want to equip the MX Silencer and the Queen’s 705mm Royal barrel to significantly increase the gun’s bullet velocity and overall control. Not only that, the silencer keeps your gunfire off the radar making it harder to pinpoint your position, which is key in Warzone.

After that, utilize the Queen’s Model 11 BH, m1941 Hand Stop, and Polymer Grip to bolster the LMG’s heavy recoil pattern and boost the gun’s aiming stability, making it easy to beam enemies down from a distance. These attachments paired with the SVT-40 PU Scope 3-6x optic turn the Bren into a specialist long-range weapon that’s a force to be reckoned with.

When it comes to bullets, make sure you run Lengthened to maximize your damage, as well as the 6.5 Sakura 40 Round Mags so you can take out multiple opponents without having to reload.

Finally, round off the loadout with the Fully Loaded perk so you’re never short on ammo, as well as Quick to make up for the Bren’s overwhelming lack of mobility.

Perks & Equipment

  • Perk 1: E.O.D.
  • Perk 2: Overkill
  • Perk 3: Amped
  • Lethal: Semtex
  • Tactical: Stim

When it comes to perks, our Bren setup runs the typical meta choice with E.O.D to protect you from explosive damage, as well as Amped to make it easier to switch to your SMG for close-quarter skirmishes.

Next, you’ll definitely want to run Overkill with this class as the Bren may pack a punch at long range, but you’ll need your favorite SMG alongside you for when opponents push your position.

We recommend the MP40 as it’s currently the most popular SMG in the game and tears down enemies at close quarters. If you’d prefer to run AR in the secondary slot, consider testing out the Cooper Carbine as it’s absolutely lethal at medium to long-range.

Finally, finish off the class with a Semtex to clear out enemies from cover and a Stim for a boost of health in the middle of a skirmish.

How to unlock the Bren in Warzone

To unlock the LMG, players to reach level 53 of the Battle Pass, which is just two levels off the maximum rank. Of course, this does mean there’s no strange challenge to pick up the Bren, but it will take quite a few hours of grinding.

While the Bren may be a strong pick in the current meta, you’re going to have to work hard to get your hands on the weapon.

Alternative to the Bren Warzone loadout

The Bruen is a strong off-meta pick.

If the Bren isn’t your style of LMG, it may be time to head back to the days of Modern Warfare and create a Bruen MK9 setup. This deadly weapon deals serious damage at long range and is perfect for those who prefer to hold down power positions, rather than rushing in aggressively.

So, if you think the Bruen is a better option for you, consider checking out our dedicated loadout guide for the weapon.

On the other hand, you can always try out the STG44 assault rifle, another Vanguard gun that’s established itself as a top-tier and versatile.
