In Warzone, LMGs are always a solid choice in battle royale mode thanks to their large magazines and damage output capabilities—and the TAQ Eradicator is no different. Make sure to unlock it and level it up to have some fun in Urzikstan.

Here’s what we think is the right set of attachments and perks to use in the best TAQ Eradicator loadout in Warzone.

The surprise weapon added before season one of MW3 is an LMG version of the hugely popular TAQ-56 from MW2, and it’s gotten more popular than ever in season three after several other weapon nerfs in the meta.

Best TAQ Eradicator build in Warzone

  • Muzzle: VT-7 Spiritfire Suppressor L
  • Barrel: Conquer-70 Long Barrel
  • Stock: Tacverte Core Stock
  • Rear Grip: FSS Combat Grip
  • Underbarrel: Bruen Heavy Support Grip

This loadout cures all of the TAQ Eradicator’s ills by buffing its Damage, Range, Accuracy, and Recoil Control but nerfing some of its Mobility and Handling. As an LMG, however, those should not matter, especially when Overkill comes with every Warzone loadout.

Like the TAQ-56 from Modern Warfare 2, the TAQ Eradicator provides a clean line of sight with no optic necessary, freeing up a slot for another attachment instead.

The VT-7 Spiritfire Suppressor L is a top pick since it keeps you off of the enemy’s radar while firing and also buffs Recoil Control, Bullet Velocity, and Damage Range, which are all crucial statistics when it comes to playing BR.

Best TAQ Eradicator perks and equipment in MW3 Warzone

  • Perk Package
    • Perk One: Double Time
    • Perk Two: Sleight of Hand
    • Perk Three: Tempered
    • Perk Four: Ghost
  • Secondary weapon: Rival-9 or other preferred SMG
  • Lethal: Frag Grenade
  • Tactical: Stun Grenade or Smoke Grenade

Since the LMG has dreadful Mobility and Handling, I like to use Double Time and Sleight of Hand to combat both downsides, allowing me to stay in the fight and get out when I need to. But also, when it’s time to move and not fight, swap to your close-range weapon like the Rival-9 in your secondary slot.

Tip:

Every good loadout needs a good long-range and close-range option. Make sure to equip a meta SMG in your secondary slot for up-close fights.

For equipment, I prefer the Frag Grenade since I can cook it and catch unsuspecting camping enemies off guard with some big damage. The Stun Grenade has the same functionality by disorienting them, so feel free to switch to a Smoke Grenade if you want to use those to cover your retreat.
