This powerful LMG has proven itself to be a solid weapon in Season 4 Reloaded, and this is the best loadout to use with the Bruen Mk9 to dominate in Warzone.
Those who played the original Call of Duty: Warzone should already be familiar with the Bruen Mk9 with the LMG having previously dominated Verdansk for a period.
This interpretation of the M249 SAW has now returned to Warzone and once again established itself as a serious meta contender.
You’ll need a top-tier loadout to help you get the most out of this heavy-duty LMG in Season 4 Reloaded.

Best Bruen Mk9 Warzone loadout
- Muzzle: VT-7 Spiritfire Suppressor
- Optic: JAK Glassless Optic
- Underbarrel: Bruen Heavy Support Grip
- Magazine: 60 Round Mag
- Rear Grip: Stip-40 Grip
The Bruen Mk9 has a lot of horizontal recoil which makes it difficult to control, especially on a controller. To fix this it’s best to use both the Bruen Heavy Support Grip underbarrel and the Stip-40 Grip rear grip which makes its recoil much more predictable.
You’ll want to then equip the VT-7 Spiritfire Suppressor which not only silences the LMG but also further improves recoil control and damage range. The range with this muzzle is so good that a barrel attachment is unnecessary which helps avoid making the Bruen Mk9 feel too slow.
Those familiar with the Bruen will already know that its signature 60 Round Mag attachment is amongst one of the best in Warzone. While a smaller mag is not typically a good idea it is worthwhile here as the improvements it provides to handling and reload speed are nothing short of spectacular.
Finally, a suitable medium to long-range optic like the JAK Glassless Optic is recommended to make it easier to track and down enemies from a distance.

Bruen Mk9 Warzone Loadout: Perks and Equipment
- Perk 1: Double Time
- Increases Tactical Sprint duration and reduces refresh time.
- Perk 2: Sleight of Hand
- Reload faster. The slower the base reload time, the bigger the bonus.
- Perk 3: Quick Fix
- Killing players or inserting a plate immediately starts health regeneration.
- Perk 4: Resolute
- When taking damage from gunfire, it grants a short bonus to movement speed. Movement speed increased by 5%.
- Lethal: Semtex
- Tactical: Battle Rage
Double Time offers an appealing option in Perk slot 1 as the enhanced tactical sprint it provides can cover up the Bruen’s low mobility. For Perk Slot 2, we like Sleight of Hand as it makes reloading this massive clip much easier than it normally is.
Quick Fix is never a bad option for Perk slot 3 as it will kickstart your health regeneration and help keep you alive longer when you are in a bind.
The Perk 4 Resolute works well with the Bruen Mk9 as it speeds you up after getting fired at. This can be especially useful to avoid follow-up shots which would otherwise be difficult to dodge with a heavy LMG like this.
Equipment-wise, a combination of a Throwing Knife for a fast and efficient lethal and Battle Rage for some fast healing during heated moments which can be the defining moment in a close gunfight.
How to unlock Bruen Mk9 in Warzone
The Bruen Mk9 is unlocked after reaching Level 31 by playing either Warzone, multiplayer, or Zombies. Alternatively, extracting with a Bruen Mk9 in Zombies will also unlock the gun letting you skip the grind.
Best alternative to Bruen Mk9 in Warzone
The DG-58 LSW is a strong alternative to the Bruen Mk9. Just like the Bruen, it’s also a forgiving LMG with above-average handling, great range, and an impressive TTK
