Although it’s often overlooked the MCW 6.8 is a genuinely fantastic option in Warzone Season 4 Reloaded that can hold its own against the very best with an optimized loadout like this.
Even after the MTZ Interceptor was nerfed it’s still the most used marksman rifle, leaving its competitors largely overlooked. This is especially true of the MCW 6.8 which is a fantastic weapon that offers a nice balance of mobility, handling, and range.
While it’s not quite top-tier, this high-caliber version of the MCW does fill a niche for those wanting a precision weapon suited to an aggressive playstyle. It is extremely rewarding if you can land consistent headshots, especially in its maximum damage range.
To get the most out of the MCW 6.8 in Warzone you’ll need an optimized loadout and we’ve got just that.
Best MCW 6.8 Warzone loadout
- Muzzle: VT-7 Spiritfire Suppressor
- Underbarrel: Bruen Heavy Support Grip
- Optic: Corio Eagleseye 2.5x
- Rear Grip: RB Claw-PSL Grip
- Magazine: 30 Round Mag
Since the MCW 6.8’s recoil is mostly just visual, it’s best to instead prioritize damage range and bullet velocity with the VT-7 Spiritfire Suppressor muzzle. The Bruen Heavy Support Grip is here to give you better recoil control and stability when firing your weapon.
This is also going to be helped by the RB Claw-PSL Grip which provides recoil control both vertically and horizontally.
The build is rounded off with a 30 Round Mag and Corio Eagleseye 2.5x optic. The larger magazine reduces the frequency you need to reload and makes it possible to chain multiple downs, while the Corio is a classic medium to long-range optic, perfect for plays typical of a marksman rifle like the MCW 6.8.

The Throwing Knife is a solid option for lethal as it provides a quick and efficient way of taking an enemy out, provided you can hit your target.. Finally, a Smoke Grenade is perfect for giving yourself cover when you don’t have any around you.
