Editor's Note: A lawsuit has been filed against Activision Blizzard by the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing, which alleges the company has engaged in abuse, discrimination, and retaliation against its female employees. Activision Blizzard has denied the allegations. The full details of the Activision Blizzard lawsuit (content warning: rape, suicide, abuse, harassment) are being updated as new information becomes available.
The same types of loadouts that worked in the original Warzone Verdansk also work in Warzone Pacific Caldera. In Warzone Pacific Caldera, players will want to divide their loadouts between specific types of ranged weapons. For a loadout to work in Warzone, players must be able to attack players from afar and from close-quarters positions. While weapons may have been updated with the newest Warzone edition, the principles of weapon choices have stayed the same.
The biggest thing to remember when creating a Warzone Pacific Caldera loadout is range capabilities. Players must cater toward their personal playstyle to maximize their efficiency with Warzone Pacific Caldera loadouts. Whether they are playing with a short game or a long game, loadouts should stay fairly consistent.
No matter what style players choose to use, they should focus on building two unique loadouts. The first loadout should have the Overkill perk, which allows players to pick two primary weapons. Generally, players will secure their first loadout fairly early in a Warzone Pacific Caldera match. When players can secure a second loadout, they should pick one that has Ghost as the second (red) perk. They should then exchange the weapons in the second loadout for the weapons in the first Overkill loadout. Ghost prevents players from being spotted in thermal scopes and UAVs. On Warzone Pacific Caldera's large maps, it may be crucial to have Ghost.
Setting Up The Best Loadouts For Warzone Pacific Caldera
The weapons players pick for their first loadout in a Warzone Pacific Caldera match are dependent on their playstyle. If players want to have a well-rounded loadout, they should pick a long- to mid-range weapon and a short- to mid-range weapon. The best long- to mid-range weapon continues to be the Kar98k. The Kar98k allows for sniper-like accuracy at long range and mid-range.
For the second weapon, players should choose a gun such as the STG-44, the DMR-14, the MAC-10, the Milano, the PPSH-41, or the Bullfrog. Each of these close- to mid-range weapons will work just fine in close-quarters combat. While the Kar98k is dependent on players’ accuracy, weapons like the Bullfrog, the STG-44, and the DMR-14 have ranged capabilities without compromising close-range accuracy.
Players should pick the perks E.O.D./Cold-Blooded, Overkill/Ghost, and Tracker/Amped. Each of these perks is dependent on playstyle but are objectively the most useful perks in a Warzone Pacific Caldera match. E.O.D. is especially effective because lethal weapons gained a major buff in the Warzone Pacific Caldera update.
Call of Duty: Warzone Pacific Caldera is available on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.
