The TAQ-56 is one of the most popular and robust assault rifles in Call of Duty: Warzone 2. It is not only one of the first weapons you can unlock in the game (the other being M4) but also one of the best loadouts you can create for long-range precision kills.
The TAQ-56 AR is basically the SCAR-L from Modern Warfare 2 and older games in the franchise. While the SCAR-L did not achieve as much fame as some of the other notable weapons, its new TAQ-56 variant is currently the meta in Warzone 2.
You can unlock the TAQ-56 assault rifle in Warzone 2 by reaching player level 19. Progressing further will unlock the TAQ-V and the TAQ-M in the same order.
Since it is the starting weapon in the Tactique Verte Platform, you do not need to level up any other weapon in the progression tree. However, you will still need to level up the other Tactique Verte weapons for all of your attachments.
The following guide will help you build the best TAQ-56 loadout in Call of Duty: Warzone 2.
Best TAQ-56 loadout, attachments, tunings
| Slot | Attachment | Unlock Requirement | Attachment Tuning |
|---|---|---|---|
| Muzzle | Harbinger D20 | STB 556 level 18 | -0.50 ⮃ and +0.45 ⮀ |
| Barrel | 17.5” Tundra Pro | TAQ-56 level 12 | +0.35 ⮃ and +0.25 ⮀ |
| Ammunition | 5.56 High Velocity | STB 556 level 7 | +0.20 ⮃ and +9.00 ⮀ |
| Underbarrel | FTAC Ripper 56 | Lachmann 762 level 6 | +0.28 ⮃ and +0.22 ⮀ |
| Magazine | 40 Round Mag | TAQ-56 level 7 |
For long-range shots, the much-needed accuracy and precision can be provided by a 17.5’ Tundra Pro Barrel. The same attachment also provides a little hip fire accuracy in case an enemy gets the jump on you.
The Harbinger D20 is a good attachment to give the TAQ-56 more damage range and bullet velocity while suppressing your shots to evade detection.
To increase overall weapon DPS, 5.56 High Velocity can be used that enhance the bullet velocity. FTAC Ripper 56 is the perfect choice for the added stability of the weapon. It does that by reducing the weapon recoil.
