The best Warzone FAL loadout

Our guide to one of the most underrated assault rifles in Warzone

Fal Warzone best class

Looking for the best Warzone FAL loadout? Warzone Season 3 has completely reset the meta, opening up an opportunity for older weapons to take over. The FAL has always been a lethal weapon thanks to its superb long-range effectiveness and a frightening time to kill.

Looking over the FAL’s base stats, you’ll spot that it has the best base damage of its weapon class. If you spam the trigger fast enough, the FAL’s damage per second is head and shoulders above every assault rifle in the game. Against a fully armoured enemy in Warzone, the FAL will down them with fewer shots than any other AR with spare ammo to take their buddies out too. Make no mistake, if you can master this weapon, the FAL is one of the best Warzone guns and should absolutely be considered for your next best Warzone loadout.

Add the right attachments and you’ve got a recipe for success. The only drawbacks of the FAL are its aim down sight speed, ammo capacity, and sprintout time – and these are only mediocre rather than outright poor. Below you’ll see our dream spec for the FAL so you can enter your next battle royale match with confidence.

Best Warzone FAL loadout

The best Warzone FAL loadout is:

  • Monolithic Suppressor
  • XRK Marksman
  • VLK 3.0x Optic
  • 30 Round Mags
  • Merc Foregrip

The Monolithic Suppressor and XRK Marksman barrel will help extend your effective range and greatly increases the FAL’s bullet velocity. The only downside to equipping this muzzle and barrel combo is the hit to the weapon’s mobility. Fortunately, this doesn’t make much of a difference as you should be stationary while firing.

Without these attachments, you won’t be able to fire at enemies from great distances. We’ve selected the VLK 3.0x Optic which can be difficult to use on a lot of weapons, but the FAL is unique thanks to its impressive accuracy. Alternatively, you can swap in a short range optic like the Viper Reflex Sight, but this feels like a waste of the FAL’s long range potential.

Finally, the Merc Foregrip will help minimise recoil, while the 30 Round Mags give you enough rounds to theoretically take out six enemies before having to reload. If you want to get a tiny bit more mobility back then you can always opt for the 24 Round Mags instead – it’s still enough rounds to grab a few kills per mag.

Seeing as the FAL is so effective at dealing with most ranges, we’d advise pairing it with either a Warzone HDR or AX-50 class for long range fights, or either the Origin 12 or best Akimbo pistols in Warzone so you’ve got a solid backup in CQB scenarios.
