Best Milano 821 sniper support loadout in Warzone
The sniper support role is where the Milano really shines right now. However, this build also works very well up close. It really comes down to a matter of playstyle and personal preference on what attachments, if any, you swap out for a close-range loadout.
AnAgency Suppressorwill keep you off of enemy radar, and add some bullet velocity and damage range. TheTask Force Barrelwill extend that range even further, with the added benefit of better strafe speed. Use aField Agent Gripto minimize recoil and beam down enemies over longer ranges. The improved ADS firing movement speed from theRaider Stockwill keep you mobile while shooting. Finally, as with most builds, you want the biggest magazine available, which in this case is theSTANAG 55 Round Magazine. You can also use a 55 Round Speed Mag for better reload times, but your ADS speed will suffer.
If you want better overall movement speed, you can trade the Raider Stock for a Tiger Team Spotlight. Alternatively, if you feel like your recoil control is on point, drop the Field Agent Grip for a Tiger Team to achieve maximum mobility. And if the iron sights on the Milano aren’t doing the trick, swap either the Field Agent Grip or Raider Stock for a reflex sight of your choice.

These Milano builds will do great backing up a sniper like theSwiss K31orKar98k.If you prefer maximum range though, go with aZRG.Check out our guide to the bestSniper Riflesin Warzone for even more ideas.
Best close-range Milano 821 loadout in Warzone
Our close-range build of choice is identical to the maximum mobility sniper support build; as we said, it is really hard to go wrong with the Milano. TheAgency SuppressorandTask Force Barrelgive you some bullet velocity and damage range, which helps even up close. Combining theTiger Team SpotlightandRaider Stockwill push your mobility through the roof, which is especially useful in close-quarters fights. Finally, theSTANAG 55 Round Magazineis a great choice as always.
If you want to improve hipfire accuracy for close-range, you can replace the Raider Stock with a Bruiser Grip for both the hipfire improvements and more generalized mobility. The 55 Round Speed Mag also becomes a better option if you choose to go that route, as the ADS penalty will be less meaningful.
Secondary weapon
Close-range builds pair nicely with a long-range Assault Rifle like theKrig 6.If you want more options, check out our guide to thebest Assault Riflesin Warzone.
Best Milano loadout with Perks and Equipment
Your Milano runs best alongside the idealPerksand Equipment, so here’s what you should be adding to the loadout:
Like with Milano builds, it’s hard to go wrong withEOD, which will help you survive explosive attacks.Ghostis the go-to red perk, but Overkill is nice after a death or on your first loadout of the game. Just grab Ghost afterward to stay off of UAVs. For your third and final perk,Ampedwill help you swap to your Milano faster, which is especially nice on a sniper support loadout. You could also go with Battle Hardened if you find yourself getting hit with Stun Grenades more often than you’d like.
Semtexremains a great general purpose lethal grenade, and will one-shot enemies you stick. Try Thermite or Proximity mines if you’re having trouble with vehicles though. Meanwhile, the trustyHeartbeat Sensorwill help you track enemies through walls. You can also use Stun grenades to push enemies, especially if your team already has aHeartbeatSensor.
That’s all for our Milano 821 loadout guide! Now you’re ready to build your loadout and dominate Warzone, at least until the next round of nerfs. If you need more loadout ideas, check out our guide to thebest Warzone guns.
