The best UGM 8 loadout in Warzone

Utilise the best UGM 8 loadout in Warzone to make the most out of this lightweight LMG and rip through entire squads with more than a few rounds to spare

The UGM-8 LMG introduced in Call of Duty Warzone Season 4 on a black background

Trying to find the best UGM 8 loadout in Warzone? Season 4 introduced a new map to the battle royale game and three new weapons to add to your arsenal. The UGM-8 is particularly interesting as it’s very lightweight for an LMG, which aren’t typically known for their mobility as they’re made to keep enemies pinned back with suppression fire.

When customised using the perfect attachments, the best UGM 8 loadout combines the stock weapon’s nimbleness and generous magazines to blast rival squads to pieces.

It’s currently among the best LMGs in Warzone list, so we encourage you to get it leveled as soon as possible.

Best UGM 8 loadout in Warzone

The best Call of Duty Warzone UGM 8 loadout is:

  • MX Silencer
  • Bernard XL214 736mm
  • SVT-40 PU Scope 3-6x
  • Romuald Tac YR
  • M1930 Strife Angled
  • 6.5mm Sakura 125 Round Box
  • Lengthened
  • Fabric Grip
  • Tight Grip
  • Fully Loaded

In an effort to turn the UGM into a more mobile version of the best Bruen loadout, the MX Silencer is a good pick to improve the weapon’s suppression, help with recoil control, and improve the damage range. Thanks to the UGM’s mobility stats, we can attach the Bernard XL214 736mm without feeling the negative effects it introduces to the aim down sight speed, movement speed, and sprint to fire speed. This attachment is essential as it helps to stabilise the gun by drastically improving its recoil control, flinch resistance, and fire rate.

You can use whatever optic you like, but as this gun shreds at medium to long range, we’ve chosen the SVT-40 PU Scope 3-6x so you can easily switch sight depending on the combat scenario. Take the Romuald Tac YR stock to give you a huge buff to aim walking – you’ll lose a little of your sprint to fire speed, but this isn’t an SMG build so it doesn’t hurt too bad. Moving on to the underbarrel, the M1930 Strife Angled is great for combatting the UGM 8’s horizontal recoil which is its main weakness.

The 6.5mm Sakura 125 Round Box is arguably the most important attachment of the bunch as it has a huge impact on how you use the UGM 8. This magazine hurts the weapon’s bullet velocity and range, bullet penetration, and damage. But in exchange, the UGM 8’s recoil control becomes similar to some of the best SMGs in Warzone and you gain an additional 75 bullets to burn through.

We’ve gone for the Lengthened ammunition to improve the UGM’s bullet velocity – this is vital as the magazine attachment dealt a large blow to this key area. The Fabric Grip improves the weapon’s aim down sight speed, perfect for those tricky surprise engagements where you can’t switch weapons. Finally, Tight Grip is superb for any LMG as it increases your accuracy while continuously firing. To top it off, Fully Loaded ensures you have enough bullets at your disposal to take down plenty of enemies.
