The best weapons in Call of Duty: Warzone have the lowest recoil. While many players work towards more damage, having low recoil makes it easier for you to land all of your shots. You will naturally want consistent and easy-to-control guns when aiming for a win.
However, it is not that simple. Every attachment that reduces recoil in WZ negatively impacts some other aspects of your gun. The following guide will tell you the best attachments to equip to reduce your long-range recoil and find a middle ground so that your weapon loadouts are still viable in Call of Duty: Warzone.
10. MCW (MW3)
| Optic | Corio Eagleseye 2.5X |
| Barrel | SL Crater Heavy Barrel |
| Muzzle | VT-7 Spiritfire Suppressor |
| Magazine | 60 Round Drum |
| Stock | RB Regal Heavy Stock |
This MCW low recoil build has excellent long-range and medium-range potential in Warzone. The SL Crater Heavy Barrel reduces horizontal and vertical recoil by -15% and recoil gun kick by -9%. The muzzle we’ve chosen further reduces vertical and horizontal recoil by -7% while improving damage range by +5% and bullet velocity by +8%. The RB Regal Heavy Stock further stabilizes the weapon by reducing horizontal and vertical recoil by -8% and recoil gun kick by -12%.
The 60-round drum gives you a large ammo pool to unload into your enemies, especially at a long distance. However, if you want more speed, you can swap it out for a 40-round mag. Lastly, the Corio Eagleseye 2.5X sight provides a clear view for medium—to long-range skirmishes. Like the magazine drum, you can switch it out for something that better fits your playstyle, should you please.

The TAQ-56 is an excellent weapon at any range. The Sakin Tread-40 muzzle provides excellent recoil control by reducing recoil gun kick, horizontal recoil, and vertical recoil by -22%, -13%, and -23%, respectively, while the Commando Foregrip further reduces all these values by an additional -3%.
The 17.5” Tundra Pro Barrel adds additional range to your weapon by raising the effective damage range and minimum damage range by +24%, it also increases the bullet velocity by +10%. Lastly, the 60 Round Mag and the Corio RE-X Pro allow this setup to flourish at long ranges.

| Magazine | 60 Round Mag |
| Underbarrel | Bruen Heavy Support Grip |
| Stock | HVS 3.4 Pad |
This RAM-7 low recoil build is suited for short to medium-range combat in Warzone. We forego the optic in favor of increased recoil control with the HVS 3.4 Pad that reduces recoil gun kick by -20% and horizontal and vertical recoil by -8% each. The Bruen Heavy Support Grip further reduces recoil gun kick and horizontal recoil by -11% and -12%, respectively. However, vertical recoil is negatively affected as it increases by +4%. This is a small tradeoff you’ll have to make.
The XRK Coremark 40 Heavy Barrel further stabilizes the weapon by reducing recoil gun kick, horizontal recoil, and vertical recoil by -5%, –7%, and -8%, respectively. Additionally, it enhances the effective damage range by +12% and the minimum damage range by +13% while bumping the bullet velocity by +15%. Lastly, the VT-7 Spiritfire Suppressor reduces horizontal and vertical recoil by -7%, raising the effect and minimum damage range by +5% and bullet velocity by +8%.
7. M4 (MW2)
| Optic | SZ Pro-7 |
| Barrel | Hightower 20” Barrel |
| Muzzle | FTAC Castle Comp |

The M4 is an excellent weapon in Warzone. This build further enhances it while reducing its recoil. The Hightower 20” Barrel reduces recoil by -9% across all three recoil types while increasing effective and minimum damage range by +20% and bullet velocity by +18%. The FTAC Castle Comp reduces recoil gun kick and vertical recoil by -14%. Additionally, it also reduces horizontal recoil by -20%.
The VX Pineapple under-barrel adds further stability to the gun by reducing all recoil metrics by -9%. Furthermore, it also enhances your hipfire spread, allowing you to be more accurate in CQC situations. Lastly, we’ll use the SZ Pro-7 for a clear-sight picture and the 60-round mag for a larger ammo pool.
6. Kastov 762 (MW2)

For the barrel, we’ve chosen the Rival-38E Sire Starter which greatly enhances our mobility but it increases both vertical and horizontal recoil by +5%. However, since the gun has low recoil to begin with, this has a negligible impact on the entire build, especially, when combined with all other attachments.
The EXF Huntress-90 muzzle reduces all three recoil metrics by -2% and increases bullet velocity by +12%. The Rival Vice Assault Grip further enhances the stability of this weapon by reducing vertical/horizontal recoil by -7% and recoil gun kick by -10%. Lastly, the MTZ Marauder Stock further reduces the recoil gun kick by –10%. It is important to note that this weapon is primarily adept at close-range combat.
4. AMR9 (MW3)
| Barrel | AMR9 Enforcer Long Barrel |
| Muzzle | L4R Flash Hider |
| Magazine | 50 Round Mag |

The AMR9 is an excellent close-to-medium-range SMG that can melt your enemies with the right attachments. For this build, we’ve chosen the AMR9 Enforcer Long Barrel, which reduces vertical/horizontal recoil by -9% and recoil gun kick by -5%. This barrel also greatly increases the effective and minimum damage ranges (+24%) while netting you an increase of +15% bullet velocity.

The ZEHMN35 Compensated Flash Hider further reduces vertical recoil by -15% and horizontal recoil by -5%. However, it also reduces bullet velocity by -5%.
Next up, the ST88 Grip reduces vertical/horizontal recoil by -7% and recoil gun kick by -10% while the XTEN Phantom-5 Handstop reduces vertical recoil by -5% and recoil gun kick by -4%. This attachment does slightly increase your horizontal recoil (by +2%) but the change is almost negligible.
