Verdansk offers a wide variety of drop zones in Call of Duty: Warzone, each requiring a well-balanced combination of weapons and loadouts to maximize your in-game performance and take down enemies efficiently. Fortunately, the return of the map also brings back several fan-favorite weapons from the original version, letting players fully relive the classic battle royale experience.

CR-56 AMAX Verdansk Loadout

• Optic: Willis 3x
• Muzzle: Compensator
• Barrel: Gain-Twist Barrel
• Underbarrel: Vertical Foregrip
• Magazine: Extended Mag II

Since its return in Season 3 alongside the comeback of Verdansk, the CR-56 AMAX has established itself as the top long-range Assault Rifle in the Warzone. With its impressive damage profile, solid fire rate, and high bullet velocity, it makes eliminating enemies from a distance feel effortless.

Just like during its prime in the original Warzone, the AMAX remains incredibly comfortable to use, especially when paired with a magnified optic, making it ideal for tracking and picking off enemies across open spaces. Its large magazine allows you to down multiple targets before needing to reload, and its low recoil makes precision shooting straightforward. On top of that, it offers fast ADS speed and quick sprint-to-fire timing, keeping you ready for fast-paced encounters, particularly in high-action zones.

Grau 5.56 (SWAT) Verdansk Loadout

• Muzzle: Monolithic Suppressor
• Underbarrel: Vertical Foregrip
• Magazine: Full-Auto Extended Mag
• Rear Grip: Commando Grip
• Fire Mods: SWAT 5.56 Grau Conversion

It wouldn’t be a true return to Verdansk without the legendary Grau 5.56 in the mix – and thanks to the SWAT 5.56 Grau Conversion, players can once again wield this iconic Assault Rifle in Warzone by granting full-auto capability along with other stat boosts to BO6's SWAT 5.56 Marksman Rifle. Known for its virtually zero recoil and high damage output, it’s the perfect weapon for taking out enemies at long range with ease.

This loadout brings back a classic setup favored by veteran players, featuring its unique iron sight, a large magazine, and the return of the iconic Monolithic Suppressor. This attachment boosts bullet velocity and damage range while improving ADS speed and sprint-to-fire time, preparing the weapon for any encounter, whether caught in a close-range skirmish or hunting distant targets. With this build, the SWAT 5.56 channels the feel and performance of the original Grau 5.56, reviving one of Warzone’s most beloved metas.

Kilo 141 Verdansk Loadout

• Optic: Willis 3x
• Muzzle: Monolithic Suppressor
• Barrel: Reinforced Barrel
• Underbarrel: Vertical Foregrip
• Magazine: Extended Mag II

The Kilo 141 is a classic Assault Rifle from the original Warzone Verdansk era, and with its simple, free unlock method, it’s quickly become one of the most popular choices in the return of the iconic battle royale map. Known for its solid damage profile, fast fire rate, and high bullet velocity, the Kilo is a reliable option for taking down enemies at medium to long ranges.

To get the most out of this weapon, equipping the 80-round magazine allows you to eliminate multiple opponents before needing to reload while also maintaining a quick sprint-to-fire speed to stay ready for any engagement. While its ADS speed is slightly slower, the rifle’s ease of use and consistent damage output more than make up for it. To compensate, players should focus on pre-aiming choke points and reacting quickly to enemy movements to stay one step ahead in every fight.

AK-74 Verdansk Loadout

• Muzzle: Compensator
• Underbarrel: Ranger Foregrip
• Magazine: Extended Mag II
• Rear Grip: Commando Grip
• Stock: Infiltrator Stock

While Assault Rifles like the AK-74 are traditionally designed for mid- to long-range combat, the return of Verdansk has seen the weapon rise in popularity as an SMG alternative. Thanks to its high damage, excellent mobility, and quick ADS and sprint-to-fire speeds, it performs exceptionally well in close-range encounters. Although it lacks a high fire rate and top-tier bullet velocity, its strong damage output, especially compared to other close-range weapons, more than compensates, making it a favorite among players.

The AK-74 also features a generously sized magazine and a relatively fast reload speed, giving you the ability to take down multiple enemies without needing to reload immediately. On top of that, its low recoil makes it easy to control, even for less experienced players.

KSV Verdansk Loadout

• Muzzle: Compensator
• Barrel: Long Barrel
• Underbarrel: Vertical Foregrip
• Magazine: Extended Mag II
• Rear Grip: Commando Grip

The KSV is an SMG built for speed, making it the top choice for players who want to dominate close-range combat. With fast movement, quick aim-down-sight speed, and rapid sprint-to-fire timing, it’s perfect for aggressive playstyles and tight encounters.

This gun offers solid damage, a generous magazine size, and competitive bullet velocity, making it especially effective in indoor fights or close-quarters battles around Verdansk. Its versatility also makes it a great secondary to pair with long-range weapons, whether it be a classic Assault Rifle or a Sniper Rifle, and it can even hold its own at medium range. With low recoil and user-friendly handling, the KSV consistently delivers strong performance across a variety of situations.

HDR Verdansk Loadout

• Muzzle: Monolithic Suppressor
• Barrel: Gain-Twist Barrel
• Underbarrel: Lightweight Bipod
• Stock: Combat Stock
• Fire Mods: 108mm Overpressured

Just like in the original Warzone, the HDR has claimed the spot as the best Sniper in Verdansk, thanks to its exceptional long-range capabilities. It’s the only Sniper in its class that can eliminate an enemy with a single headshot from any distance, making it ideal for picking off targets without needing to get too close or expose yourself.

With its incredibly high damage, the HDR ensures that enemies are severely wounded, making it difficult for them to recover quickly. While it lacks a large magazine and has a slower rate of fire, the weapon is built for precision. Its aim-down-sight speed may require some patience, but it’s offset by outstanding bullet velocity, delivering consistent and powerful shots when it matters most.
