Warzone Season 3 Reloaded: Best close-range loadout for Verdansk

The best close-range loadout for Verdansk in Warzone Season 3 Reloaded can be built with the C9 SMG. In the recent update, the C9's damage profile was buffed, increasing its maximum damage from 38 to 40. The gun now boasts a TTK of only 570 ms. This is quite exceptional, and needless to say, the weapon has now once again claimed the throne for the ultimate close-range meta option.

Although the C9 is already pretty decent right out of the box, equipping the right set of attachments can go a long way in making the SMG even better. They'll not only help mitigate its cons but also improve on its strengths.

Hence, in this guide, we will take a look at the best close-range loadout for Verdansk in Warzone Season 3 Reloaded with the C9.

The Compensator helps reduce vertical recoil, which is a problem area for the C9. This allows the firearm to engage in even mid-range fights without breaking a sweat.

The Long Barrel increases the effective damage range of your C9 from 12 meters to 15.5 meters. This allows you to achieve the fast TTK of 570 ms at up to 15.5 meters.

The Ranger Foregrip reduces the SMG's horizontal recoil, which can be quite unpredictable at times. It also improves your sprinting speed with the gun equipped, allowing you to play the game aggressively, which is also the type of scenario the C9 shines at.

The Extended Mag II increases the bullet count per magazine from 30 to 50. At first glance, the 20 additional bullets may not look like much. But they are, in fact, game-changing. They not only allow you to take on multiple enemies at once, but also ensure that you don't end up reloading in the face of your targets, which can leave you vulnerable in the battle royale modes.

The last attachment we recommend using for this build is the Commando Grip. It has multiple benefits. It enhances base aim down sight speed, sprint-to-fire speed, and both jumping sprint-to-fire and aim down sight speeds. These essentially help in improving the handling stats of the C9, allowing you to wield it aggressively and take the fight to your enemies.

That covers everything you need to know about the best close-range loadout for Verdansk in Warzone Season 3 Reloaded.
