Power to the perks

Here are the best perks in Season 03 Reloaded:

  • Overkill
  • Double Time
  • Fast hands
  • Ghost

Overkill is essential if you want to carry two primary weapons, while Double Time will enhance your ability to reposition or escape an unfavourable situation. Using fast hands will not only allow you to reload quicker, but you’ll also be able to switch between weapons and throw equipment faster. Finally, Ghost is a must-have perk since it hides you from enemy UAVs, Heartbeat Sensors and Portable Radars.

Choose your equipment wisely

In terms of a lethal and a tactical, we recommend:

  • Drill Charge
  • Smoke Grenade

A drill charge will help you deal damage to any opponent that may be hiding inside of a building. Additionally, a smoke grenade can be the difference between life and death, especially when you’re rotating to the next zone.

If the meta changes, we’ll be sure to update you with the latest Warzone 2 loadout for Ranked Play.
