The combination of Overkill no longer taking up a Perk slot and sniper rifles being overpowered make the need for strong sniper support weapons like the RAM-7 imperative to find success in Warzone.
Season one introduced a prime candidate in the RAM-7, and the versatile AR is our choice for the best sniper-support weapon in Warzone and arguably one of the best long-range primary options as well. Here’s our pick for the best RAM-7 build in Warzone.
In season 2, the RAM-7 had its mid-range damage reduced from 28 to 24 and its minimum damage value reduced from 25 to 22. Despite getting nerfed, we still expect the AR to be viable. It also helps that the RAM-7 has a speedy fire rate, ADS speed, and sprint-to-fire time, making this versatile AR a suitable partner to a sniper rifle. Our loadout aims to extend the AR’s range even farther to compete with other long-range meta options, while still holding its own up close and personal.
Throughout season one, the RAM-7 became one of the most popular weapons in Warzone, and for good reason. We don’t expect the reliable rifle to reach the same heights as before, but our build is great for both long and mid-range fights in season 2.
Best RAM-7 loadout in Warzone
Best RAM-7 build in Warzone
- Muzzle: VT-7 Spiritfire Suppressor
- Barrel: XRK Coremark 40 Heavy
- Stock: HVS 3.4 Pad
- Optic: Corio Eagleseye 2.5x
- Magazine: 60 Round Drum
MW3 long-range-meta Warzone loadouts tend to follow a similar trend with their attachments, but it’s easy to see why. The Corio Eagleseye 2.5 optic offers a clean sightline and a high enough magnification to easily take on medium-range engagements. Next, the VT-7 Spitfire Suppressor reduces ADS and sprint to fire speed, but the boosts to damage range and recoil control outweigh the cons. And the suppressor comes with the bonus of keeping your operator off the mini-map.
Then, players usually opt for using the largest magazine possible on a weapon to mow down multiple enemies at once, and that’s a 60 Round Drum for the RAM-7. In Warzone, every bullet counts thanks to armor and a longer time-to-kill than multiplayer. The final attachments come down to personal preference or the weapon’s damage profile. The RAM-7 is a complicated beast to control, so we recommend using the HVS 3.4 and XRK Coremark 40 Heavy Barrel to help improve recoil control and gun kick.
Best RAM-7 class perks and equipment in Warzone
- Perk Package
- Perk One: Double Time
- Perk Two: Sleight of Hand
- Perk Three: Tempered
- Perk Four: High Alert
- Secondary weapon: KATT-AMR (Or WSP Swarm if you want to use the RAM-7 as a primary)
- Lethal: Frag Grenade
- Tactical: Smoke Grenade
Even though this is primarily a sniper loadout, we still recommend using Double Time to alleviate stress while crossing a large open area or running away from an engagement. Sleight of Hand will not only come in handy while reloading the bulky sniper rifle but also the RAM-7 in fast-paced gunfights.
Looting is much easier in Urizikstan than Al Mazrah, but that doesn’t mean there still isn’t a plate scarcity. To combat that, Tempered helps save armor for the end game when you need it most. And finally, High Alert will issue a warning that could end up being the difference between life and death while aiming down sights with a sniper rifle. The season one buffed Frag Grenades will come in handy when flushing an enemy out, and Smoke Grenades will protect you while rotating or repositioning in a gunfight.
Finally, the RAM-7 is a strong primary weapon, but a sniper rifle will help compensate for its long-range deficiencies.
