Best RPK loadout build in Warzone 2
Here are the best RPK loadout attachments in Warzone 2:

Central to this entire RPK loadout is the40 Round Mag, which cuts the RPK’s magazine capacity nearly in half, but adds a wealth of mobility boosts from ADS to reload speed. 40 Rounds is also more than enough for our needs, considering the RPK packs more damage per shot than many of thebest Assault Rifles in Warzone 2.
TheDemo-X2 Gripoffers a bit more recoil control at the cost of some aiming stability, which is an easy thing to recommend since we care far more about the former than the latter for an LMG like the RPK.
Overall this set of attachments drastically increases the accuracy and reliability of our RPK loadout, and the only cost is a 40-Round magazine instead of a 75-round magazine. It still won’t be as nippy as an Assault Rifle, but this RPK is certainly one of the best-handling LMGs you’re likely to come across, and its firepower more than makes up for the comparatively low mag size.
Best RPK loadout secondary weapon
If you want to truly create the best RPK loadout in Warzone 2.0, you need to think not only about the RPK itself but about every other part of the class setup, including the secondary weapon to take into battle alongside it.
Given that our RPK loadout attempts to bridge the gap between an Assault Rifle and an LMG (two mid-range weapon classes), you can be quite flexible with your choice of secondary weapon. For close-range prowess, we’d recommend theLachmann Sub, one of thebest SMGs in Warzone 2right now thanks to its excellent DPS and mobility stats.
If you want a longer-ranged option and you’re alright with touting around two fairly bulky weapons, then theVictus XMRis thebest Sniper Rifle in Warzone 2, and the obvious choice for sharpshooting builds.
Best RPK class setup: Perks and Equipment
To round off our RPK class setup, you’ll need to think about the right Perk Package and Equipment to bring with you. In Warzone 2, you can only buy primary weapons at Buy Stations - but you can still get a full Warzone 2 loadout drop if you know how, and those drops will include all the Perks and Equipment in your custom loadout.
Here are our recommendations for the best Perks and Equipment for this RPK loadout:
We’d highly recommend picking up theWarden Perk Packagefor your RPK class setup. This Package contains the Perks Double Time, Strong Arm, Fast Hands, and Overclock. Of these, only a couple are truly useful - but they’re so useful that it’s hard to pass up on the Warden Package.
Fast Handsis a great choice, as it drastically speeds up the reload and weapon swap times of your RPK loadout. This dovetails perfectly with what we’re trying to achieve with this loadout - to create a nippier and more mobile LMG.
When it comes to your Equipment choices, we’ve gone for a very familiar duo. TheFrag Grenadeis a versatile Lethal Equipment choice that works well both indoors and outdoors - and it also makes sense to use a good throwable when you have theStrong ArmPerk activated.
And finally, theStun Grenadeis great for clearing rooms and initiating around corners. Your RPK doesn’t quite have the speed to match SMGs at close range, so you’ll need the help of a Stun Grenade if you want to reliably win those close-quarters engagements.
That concludes our guide on the best RPK loadout currently available in Warzone 2.0.
