Best GRAU 5.56 loadout in Warzone and Black Ops 6 Season 4 Reloaded

The best GRAU 5.56 loadout in Warzone and Black Ops 6 can help you get more kills and potential wins. The GRAU 5.56 as we knew it from the days of the original Warzone has returned with the Season 3 update — but not in the way you might have expected. Instead of introducing the gun directly, Call of Duty has added a Conversion Kit for the SWAT 5.56, which transforms it into the GRAU.

Hence, when discussing the best GRAU 5.56 loadout in Warzone and Black Ops 6, we are essentially referring to the loadout for the SWAT 5.56 Marksman Rifle equipped with the Conversion Kit. Let's break it down.

Best GRAU 5.56 loadout in Warzone (with Conversion Kit)

To build the best GRAU 5.56 loadout in Warzone, you must use the attachments listed below:

Muzzle: Ported Compensator
Underbarrel: Vertical Foregrip
Magazine: Full-Auto Extended Mag
Optic: Willis 3x
Fire Mods: SWAT 5.56 GRAU Conversion

Here's how these attachments help convert the weapon into one of the best guns in the game:

First of all, the star of the show is the SWAT 5.56 GRAU Conversion Kit, without which this build isn’t possible. As mentioned earlier, this attachment transforms the SWAT 5.56 into the GRAU you might remember from the original Warzone. With this kit, the weapon’s base stats are altered, where its damage and range are reduced, but accuracy, mobility, and handling are improved. It also becomes fully automatic. Additionally, it provides better vertical and horizontal recoil control, making the weapon more precise.

For the muzzle, it’s best to go with the Ported Compensator, which reduces vertical recoil by 20% and improves gun kick by around 11.5%. This results in better overall control and accuracy, especially in long-range engagements.

The Vertical Foregrip is another essential attachment that significantly reduces horizontal recoil and improves gun kick. This is particularly important because while vertical recoil can be mitigated by pulling your mouse or controller stick downward, horizontal recoil is much more difficult to control. With this attachment, horizontal recoil is minimized, allowing you to maintain accuracy even at range.

The Full-Auto Extended Mag increases the magazine capacity from 30 to 50 rounds, giving you 20 extra bullets — enough to take on multiple enemies in a single engagement. This attachment becomes available only after equipping the Conversion Kit. In Warzone, where enemies often have armor plates, those additional bullets can be the difference between winning or losing a gunfight.

Finally, the Willis 3x Optic is used for its gun kick reduction and the magnification it provides, allowing you to handle long-range battles more effectively.

Best GRAU 5.56 loadout in Black Ops 6 (with Conversion Kit)

For the best GRAU 5.56 loadout in Black Ops 6, you must use the attachments mentioned below:

Muzzle: Ported Compensator
Underbarrel: Ranger Foregrip
Rear Grip: CQB Grip
Magazine: Full-Auto Extended Mag
Fire Mods: SWAT 5.56 GRAU Conversion

Read on to learn more about how these attachments improve the weapon in Black Ops 6:

Just like the previous build, the SWAT 5.56 GRAU Conversion Kit is essential here, transforming the SWAT 5.56 into the GRAU 5.56.

Secondly, this Black Ops 6 build also uses the Ported Compensator, which, as discussed earlier, reduces vertical recoil and improves gun kick.

For the underbarrel, the Ranger Foregrip is the best choice. It not only reduces horizontal recoil and gun kick but also boosts mobility by increasing sprint speed, a crucial advantage in multiplayer, where engagements are often at close to mid-range and mobility matters more than long-range precision, unlike in Warzone.

The CQB Grip brings a host of handling improvements, enhancing dive-to-fire, slide-to-fire, sprint-to-fire, and jump-sprint-to-fire speeds. This attachment is particularly useful for aggressive players who rely on fast movement during fights.

Finally, the Full-Auto Extended Mag is also used here because, in multiplayer, every extra bullet counts, especially when facing multiple enemies at once. Having a larger magazine increases your chances of coming out on top in fast-paced gunfights.
