Best VEL 46 Loadout in COD Warzone & Modern Warfare 2

VEL 46 was buffed during Warzone's mid-season-2 Reloaded update, along with other SMGs like MX9, BAS-p, and PDSW 528. The patch increased VEL 46’s close-range damage and improved its handling and movement speed, making it the best option for close- and mid-range loadouts in COD Warzone and MW2.

The problem with previous loadouts was VEL 46’s high vertical recoil, which players could only control with an underbarrel. But at the same time, underbarrels came with movement speed and ADS penalty, which made the gun useless. But now that the penalties are gone and the DMG is increased, the UZI-resembling gun can finally fit the fast-paced battles because it gets more 4-shot kills in the 30 to 50 feet range. And with that, here’s how to build the best VEL 46 loadout for Season 2 and beyond.

Best VEL 46 Loadout for Warzone 2.0 & MW2

To assemble the best VEL 46 loadout, upgrade it with the following:

VEL 46 Part	Best Item
Stock	VEL A-568 Collapsed
Laser	VLK LZR 7MW
Barrel	Lach-DX 203 MM
Underbarrel	FSS Sharkfin 90
Muzzle	XTEN Razor Comp
Magazine	30-Round Mag
Optic	Default
Rear Grip	Default
Ammunition	Default

Pick a combat knife, stun gun, and a Proximity Mine for melee, Tactical, and Lethal. Finally, have Double Time and Scavenger as Base Perks. For bonus perks, go with Resupply and Quick Fix. But to maximize the loadout’s potential, grab Munitions Box and Dead Silence as the Field Upgrades.

This VEL 46 loadout aims to decrease the ADS time, dominating the close-range fights with quick reactions. It is not the best option for early-zone battles in Warzone 2.0 as it fails to deliver in long ranges. But players can benefit from its fast aim-down in most Modern Warfare 2 maps.

Best High-Accuracy VEL 46 Loadout

Despite its vertical recoil, VEL 46 SMG can be tamed for precision loadouts. To create an accuracy-orientated class, get the following attachments:

VEL 46 Part	Best Item
Laser	VLK LZR 7MW
Underbarrel	Lock Grip Precision-40
Muzzle	Bruen Cubic Comp
Magazine	30-Round Mag
Rear Grip	ZLR Combat Grip
Optic	Default
Ammunition	Default
Stock	Default
Barrel	Default

The precision loadout for VEL 46 benefits from all the buffs in Season 2 Reloaded. It has the 30-round mag, which now has improved handling and mobility, and it comes with a reliable underbarrel, which now has no negative effect on the ADS and movement speed. Warzone 2.0 players are better off with this loadout because it dominates mid-range battles as much as it outperforms close-range guns.

To turn VEL 46 into a silencer-benefiting gun, attach the upgrade parts in the table below. Complete the loadout with stealth perks like Overkill, Ghost, Cold-Blooded, or Battle-Hardened.

Laser	VLK LZR 7 MW
Underbarrel	PHASE-3 Grip
Muzzle	XTEN RR-40
Rear Grip	ZLR Combat Grip
Magazine	30-Round Mag

Ammunition	Default
Optic	Default
Barrel	Default

Thanks to its fast reaction, VEL 46 suits most MW2 & Warzone 2.0 stealth loadouts. But it peaks when combined with the 30-Round Magazine for extra movement speed and nimbleness, which are crucial for stealth strategies.
