The best Warzone Grau loadouts are an interesting option to consider. The Grau is one of the oldest guns in the game and has always been a decent, if low key option. But if you're considering it, what are the best Warzone Grau loadouts and attachments to try? It's a very versatile assault rifle works, and a lot of options work well which can make it hard to narrow down the absolute best from what's on offer. Depending on what you pick you can't really go wrong with the Grau in Call of Duty Warzone because it is strong at both close and long ranges depending on how you kit it out. Coming up we've got a couple of the best Warzone Grau loadouts to take into Verdansk.

Warzone best Grau loadout: Close Quarters Combat

Barrel: ZLR Drifter A-08
Laser: Tac Laser
Stock: No Stock
Rear Grip: XRK Void II
Perk: Sleight of Hand

If you want to sprint around the map using your Grau like a submachine gun, this build is the way forward. The ZLR Drifter A-08 barrel means you can't use an underbarrel attachment, but the payoff is more than worth it. Go for Sleight of Hand over an extended mag too, because it doesn't have the drawbacks of slower ADS time.

In Warzone, we recommend you bring Overkill along so you can have a second primary weapon. To accompany this short-range beast, we'd recommend one of the one-hit-kill cannons from our Warzone best sniper loadouts guide so you've got more ranged prowess.

Warzone best Grau loadout: No Recoil Ranged

Barrel: Tempus 26.4" Archangel
Stock: FSS Blackjack
Underbarrel: Ranger Foregrip
Ammunition: 50 Round Mags
Rear Grip: FTAC R-89 Rubber

  • Helldivers 2 running away from bugs with coyote assault rifle Best Helldivers 2 Primary Weapons to use against the Terminids, Automatons, and Illuminate

On the other hand, if you want to decemate enemies from behind cover, this Grau loadout is the way forward. The Tempus 26.4" Archangel is the longest barrel and gives huge buffs to the damage range and recoil control, while the 50 Round Mags mean you can mow down a whole team rather than having to reload in-between kills.

Pair this with something like an MP5 or an MP7 to deal your up-close damage. Shoot at enemies with the Grau from a distance, then pin them down and get in their faces with an SMG. Or, if you're feeling especially daring, chuck on a shotgun.
