  • Barrel – Bryson Carbine-S Barrel
  • Laser – SL Razorhawk Laser Light
  • Optics – SP-X 80 6.6x
  • Stock – No Stock
  • Underbarrel – DR-6 Handstop

The Kar98k comes with incredible damage to take out enemies in one or two hits, so the loadout focuses mostly on aiming down the sights as fast as possible. The Bryson Carbine-S Barrel, SL Razorhawk Laser Light, DR-6 Handstop, and the No Stock attachments all improve on overall faster movement and ADS for easy quickscoping. The SP-X 80 6.6x comes with both 6.0x and 11x scopes for mid or long-range fights.

The Compression Carrier Vest allows players to instantly regen health after a kill, and should be in the loadout when quickscoping up close. The loadout’s gear includes the Marksman Gloves for improved accuracy when hit, Stalker Boots for better ADS strafing, and the Mag Holster for a faster reload.

  • Ammunition – 7.92 High Grain Rounds
  • Barrel – Prazisionsgewehr 762 Long Barrel
  • Muzzle – Sonic Suppressor L
  • Optics – SP-X 80 6.6x
  • Stock – No Stock

The Kar98k Warzone loadout keeps the scope and the stock, but the rest of the attachments are better suited for the game’s more open environment. The 7.92 High Grain Rounds, Prazisionsgewehr 762 Long Barrel. and Sonic Suppressor L all improve damage range to one or two-shot enemies at almost any distance.

The Warzone loadout for the weapon should have the Double Time, Fast Hands, High Alert, and Quick Fix perks. While the gun acts like a sniper rifle, players will need quick speed and spatial awareness to pop some shots and keep moving.
