Best LAPA loadout for Warzone

The LAPA SMG arrived with the Warzone Halloween event.

Attachments

  • Muzzle: Agency Suppressor
  • Ammunition: Salvo 45 Round Fast Mag
  • Laser: Tiger Team Spotlight
  • Optic: Microflex LED
  • Stock: SAS Combat Stock

First of all, you’ll want to equip the Agency Suppressor for increased bullet velocity, effective damage range, and vertical recoil control. Not only that, but the attachment will keep your gunfire off the radar, which is incredibly important in Warzone when attempting to keep your position concealed.

After that, pick up the SAS Combat Stock to boost the overall mobility of the weapon and utilize the Salvo 45 Round Fast Mag so you can spend less time reloading, and more time taking out your opponents.

Next, use the Tiger Team Spotlight to increase your mobility even further and boost your aim walking movement speed. This will allow you to pursue retreating enemies and push posted-up squads aggressively.

Finally, round off the loadout with the Microflex LED optic attachment, as hitting multiplier damage with LAPA is absolutely key. The new SMG deals massive headshot and neck shot damage but falls off when it comes to the body, so it’s important you’re always aiming in exactly the right place.

Best LAPA setup (Perks & equipment)

Perks and Equipment

  • Perk 1: E.O.D.
  • Perk 2: Overkill
  • Perk 3: Amped
  • Secondary: Kar98k
  • Lethal: Grenade
  • Tactical: Heartbeat Sensor

When it comes to perks, you’ll want to run Amped to decrease your weapon swap speed and E.O.D to decrease the amount of damage you take from non-killstreak explosives.

Finally, it’s important you run the Overkill perk as the LAPA SMG will struggle to take out enemies at long range, so running the Kar98k will allow you to weaken enemies before an aggressive push with your squad.

Round off the equipment with a standard Grenade to flush camping opponents out of buildings, and the Heartbeat Sensor to track any opponents not using Ghost.
