Best Vaznev-9k Loadout in Warzone 2 Season 1

Pick up the best Kastovia SMG.

In standard Modern Warfare 2 multiplayer, the Vaznev-9k has proven to be one of the best submachine guns at nearly any range, and that sentiment hasn’t changed much in Warzone 2. If you’re looking for a weapon with high mobility that retains a good damage range, this is the build for you.

Compared to most other weapons in Warzone 2, the Vaznev-9k doesn’t have many flaws to worry about. If anything, the damage range is the largest flaw, but it can easily be enhanced for better use in the battle royale. We’ll go over everything you for the best Vaznev loadout possible in this guide.

Warzone 2 Season 1 – Best Vaznev-9k Loadout

Rather than tons of mobility enhancements, we’re going to build this submachine gun far more like a fast assault rifle. We want to be able to engage enemies at medium range while maintaining close-quarters control as well. Below you can find all of the attachments you need.

  • Receiver: Vaznev-9k
  • Barrel: SA Response III
  • Muzzle: FTAC Castle Comp
  • Rear Grip: Demo-X2 Grip
  • Magazine: 45 Round Mag
  • Optic: Cronen Mini Pro

Our first attachments are the SA Response III barrel and FTAC Castle Comp which are both integral to ensuring the Vaznev-9k is a proper sniper support. The SA Response III will damage range, bullet velocity, and recoil control. Meanwhile, the FTAC Castle comp will benefit vertical and horizontal recoil control of the weapon.

To round out the control attachments, the next addition should be the Demo-X2 Grip on the rear. Usually, we would want ADS speed here, but this time the goal is more recoil control. You can tune this for some ADS, but moving towards steadiness is more effective for this build.

The last two attachments are the 45 Round Mag and the Cronen Mini Pro. Added ammo capacity is the goal with the larger magazine, and you’ll certainly need it at medium range. The Cronen Mini Pro optic isn’t required, but it will certainly help you win fights beyond close quarters in Warzone 2.
