Best close-range Tec-9 loadout in Warzone

Close-range is where the full auto Tec-9 excels, so this build leans hard into mobility to capitalize:

If you want more recoil control, you can drop the Bruiser Grip for a Task Force Barrel. This will add some range and recoil control, as well as strafe speed, so you lose less mobility than you may think.

Secondary weapon

High-mobility SMGs like this go great with a long-rangeAssault Rifle. TheKrig 6andQBZshould remain strong in Season 5, and the new EM2 is looking solid. You can also go with anLMGto lay down even more fire on your enemies. TheBruenandMG82are both good options.

Best sniper support Tec-9 loadout in Warzone

If you want a little more range on your Tec-9 to back up yourSwiss K31, this is the build for you:

We’re sticking with theFull Auto Repeateron the sniper support build for now. Keeping full auto as an option is really going to help your Tec-9 up close, and it still has a solid time-to-kill at range. Use aTask Force Barrelto get some recoil control and damage range for those mid-range engagements too. Add in aField Agent Grip, and you will have as much recoil control as you can get. A good sight picture helps too, so you will probably want an optic. I’m a fan of the straightforwardMilstop Reflex Sight, but if you prefer a different sight it’s really up to you. Last but not least, at this range, you will definitely want as many shots as you can get. Stick with the48 Round Magazineon this build.

If you want to try out the default semi-automatic mode or the Burst Repeater, this is the build to do it on. Both will work better at mid-range than up close. We like semi-auto better but give both a shot. You can get reasonable TTKs with either, but Full Auto will be the most reliable.

If you’re fine with iron sights, you can drop the Milstop to grab a Raider Stock. That combined with the Task Force Barrel will give you strafe speed, even when firing. If you’ve got a handle on the recoil, you can also trade the Field Agent Grip for a Bruiser Grip to pick up some mobility.

Secondary weapon

A sniper support of course requires a Sniper Rifle. If you aren’t a Swiss K31 fan, theKar98kworks nicely, even if it is technically a Marksman Rifle. You can also opt for aZRGorLW3 Tundrafor more extreme ranges. For a full sniper meta breakdown, check out our guide to thebest Sniper Rifles in Warzone.
