Best Warzone 2 loadout for RPK in Season 3 Reloaded

Call of Duty: Warzone 2's Season 3 Reloaded is here and with the mid season update, there is a old meta weapon in rise. Despite some nerfs and buffs in throughout its lifetime, the RPK is still one of the strongest weapons for players to use in long range gunfights. The LMG from the Kastovia weapon platform is a hard-hitting beast when it comes to fight from a distance.

Warzone 2 players witnessed the strength of the RPK in Season 1 as a deadly machine in medium and long-range gunfights; however, the developers tweaked it to limit its capabilities. It remains a viable choice for Al Mazrah and Ashika Island but is no longer an overpowered light machine gun. If you are looking for the best RPK build to dominate your games in Warzone 2, read below.

RPK weapon build

RPK is part of the Kastovia weapon platform. It's pretty heavy, and this affects its overall movement stats. It features a low fire rate and a high gun kick to compensate for its damage output. Players can equip attachments to control recoil and engage in different range gunfights.

WhosImmortal suggests that players use the new RPK build for the best results:

Recommended build:

• Muzzle: Sakin Tread-40
• Optic: Aim OP-V4
• Underbarrel: Edge-47 Grip
• Ammunition: 7.62 High Velocity
• Rear Grip: Demo-X2 Grip

Recommended tuning:

• Sakin Tread-40: +0.36 vertical, +0.21 horizontal
• Aim OP-V4: -1.16 vertical, -1.65 horizontal
• Edge-47 Grip: +0.36 vertical, +0.25 horizontal
• 7.62 High Velocity: +0.29 vertical, +1.74 horizontal
• Demo-X2 Grip: +0.65 vertical, +0.32 horizontal

The Sakin Tread-40 increases vertical and horizontal recoil control but reduces the overall Aim Down Sight (ADS) speed and aiming stability. Aim OP-V4 is a great optic attachment, but other alternatives exist in this category.

The Edge-47 Grip underbarrel can boost aiming idle stability and recoil stabilization; however, it takes a toll on the overall ADS speed of the gun.

The 7.62 High-Velocity ammunition attachment increases bullet velocity significantly but reduces the weapon’s damage range. The Demo-X2 rear grip boosts the recoil control of the RPK but takes a toll on its aiming stability.

WhosImmortal’s RPK build focuses on increasing stability and handling to perform consistently in different gunfight scenarios. It is not the fastest or the most agile setup that can be configured for this light machine gun.
