Best Carrack .300 Warzone 2 loadout: Class setup, attachments, Perks

All signs still point toward the Signal 50 still being Warzone 2’s best fast-firing sniper rifle. However, the Carrack .300 flies under the radar and may surprise those trying it. Here is how you can maximize the new sniper rifle’s untapped potential.

In June, Treyarch banned sniper rifles from Warzone 2 Ranked Play. The ban hammer came down partly because pro players complained that one-shot snipers and fire shotguns“killed’ Ranked Play. Little did the community members realize that they had unleashed a new monster in the Signal 50.

It didn’t take much time for the fast-firing sniper rifle to take over Ranked Play lobbies and the2023 World Series of Warzone. Despite the Signal 50, taking over WZ2’s competitive meta, Raven Software argued that anerf to the sniper rifle was “not necessary”in Season 5.

Community members were stunned by the decision, but fortunately for those disgruntled players, Season 5 also provided a direct competitor to the Signal 50. Let’s jump right into what players need to know about the Carrack .300

COD veterans will be familiar with WA 2000. The bullpup, semi-automatic sniper rifle appeared in Modern Warfare 2 & 3 and the original Black Ops game. The sniper rifle was ironically regarded as one of the worst weapons in each title due to its horrible handling stats.

The Carrack .300 is inspired by the WA 2000, but thankfully, it vastly outperforms the original design and dominates long-range engagements.

For our loadout scopes come down to personal preference, and the Carrack .300 default scope is kind of bulky and could be annoying for some players. If players can’t get along with it, we recommend replacing the muzzle with a new optic.

For the Ultimate Perk,High Alertis a superb choice, as it provides free intel by highlighting the direction of enemy players aiming at you from behind. With Warzone 2’s short TTK, this is one of the few ways to give yourself enough time to react before being downed.

Equipment is flexible as there are several strong choices but aDrill ChargeandSmoke Grenadeare the top picks here. Drill Charges are excellent for flushing out players from hard-to-reach areas, while Smoke Grenades allow you to reposition through open spaces without being punished.
