Call of Duty: Warzone Pacific Caldera keeps many of the same attachments as Warzone Verdansk and introduces a slew of attachments from Call of Duty: Vanguard. When it comes to creating the perfect class or choosing suitable guns on the ground, attachments are one of the first things to consider. Players must level up a weapon to unlock attachments for their loadouts. By the time players max out a gun's level, they will have unlocked every attachment for it. Players who do not have a loadout equipped must choose from weapons already fitted with attachments scattered across Caldera.
Attachments can make or break the effectiveness and efficiency of any gun players use. Guns like the MG42 need the perfect class and attachments to work correctly. While certain weapons are suited for certain situations in Warzone Pacific Caldera, players can mix and match attachments to suit their playstyle. When players first drop into Caldera, they need to pick up whatever weapons are nearby for immediate defense. After the threat has subsided, players must find weapons that feel comfortable to use. When picking up weapons on the ground and from boxes around the map, they should focus on the weapon label's color. Weapons around Caldera have different colored labels depending on how many attachments are equipped to the gun.
Before choosing which attachments work best, players must identify the type of gun on which the attachments will be added. Assault Rifles, SMGs, Shotguns, LMGs, Tactical Rifles, Marksman Rifles, and Sniper Rifles all require different kinds of attachments to work most efficiently. For instance, an SMG will generally work best with a shorter scope, and a Sniper Rifle will always work best with a longer scope. The best loadouts in Warzone Pacific Caldera keep attachments at the forefront of decision-making and equip attachments according to their attributes and their effect on a gun.
Attachment Guide For Weapons In Call of Duty: Warzone Pacific Caldera
The types of attachments are as follows:
- Muzzles – attached to the front of a weapon. Strengths include recoil control, silenced shots, fire rate boosts, stabilization, and more.
- Barrel – Barrels can affect a weapon's whole behavior. Strengths include damage range, bullet velocity, recoil, movement, aim down sight speed, and more.
- Optic – optics are attached to the top of a gun. Optics affect magnification, accuracy, recoil control, precision sight picture, and more.
- Underbarrel – underbarrels provide stability under the barrel of the weapon. Underbarrels provide stability, improve accuracy, and add side weapons to the bottom of a barrel.
- Stock – stocks are equipped to the back of a gun and alter mobility, recoil, aim walking movement speed, steadiness, sprint to fire speed, and more.
- Perks – gun perks provide increased torso damage, reload quickness, movement speed, sprinting move speed, and more.
- Rear Grip – Rear grips alter the handle of the gun. Rear grips adjust stability, aim down sight speed, sprint to fire speed, hip-fire accuracy, weapon swap quickness, recoil control, and more.
- Magazine – Magazines alter ammo capacity as well as reload quickness, movement speed, aim down sight speed, fire rate, and more.
- Ammunition – certain guns can buff their ammo with altered bullet velocity, damage to vehicles, wounding effects, bullet penetration, and more.
Players should carefully determine which attachments work best for each gun. Picking up someone else's guns or guns from the loot box with bad attachments can spell trouble during an intense game of Warzone Pacific Caldera. Players should always be gunning for attachment-heavy weapons unless the weapon is the almighty Sawtooth. Players should always ditch low-level weapons like a sniper with no optic on it, a shotgun with a low ammo capacity, or any other base weapon with basic attachments. The best gun attachments throughout the Pacific Caldera are other players' custom guns or golden guns dropped around the map.
Call of Duty: Warzone Pacific Caldera is available on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series S/X, Xbox One, and PC.
