Warzone’s massive roster of weapons features many returning guns from previous entries in the Call of Duty franchise, including the popular and powerful TAQ-56.
The TAQ-56 is the CoD universe’s version of the real-life SCAR-L, so fans of the high fire-rate 5.56mm rifle will have a blast with it no matter what mode they use it in. The gun is readily available through prestige leveling, and almost every dedicated player has been rocking it in multiplayer and battle royale since getting their hands on it.
In Warzone specifically, the TAQ-56 is a solid choice for the primary weapon slot for its flexibility and reliability. Using the Gunsmith feature, you can custom-tune the weapon for your own personal preferences, but there’s a specific set of attachments you should be using when it comes to battle royale.
Here’s the best way to set up your TAQ-56 to dominate the opposition in Warzone during season five.

Why this is the best TAQ-56 Warzone loadout
If you run with this TAQ-56 loadout, you should be covered pretty well at close to medium range, and it’s even halfway decent at longer ranges, too. It’ll be difficult to hit many shots from extremely long range without the use of an optic, but this gun’s iron sights are some of the best in the game.

You’d be safe with pairing the TAQ-56 with either a sniper rifle or another closer-range gun, such as an SMG like the Vaznev or Lachmann Sub. It all comes down to your own personal playstyle, but this set of attachments should serve you well in a variety of situations.
Using this setup will increase the TAQ’s accuracy and recoil control while offering a penalty to mobility and handling, so pulling out a more maneuverable SMG or pistol while traversing far distances across Al Mazrah is recommended.
The TAQ has proven to be a constant mainstay among primary weapons, but it’s still a ways off the very top tier in Warzone. Nevertheless, this is a gun you can find easy success within the BR.
