Marksman rifles are fierce weapons to use in Warzone, and the DM56 is one of the best choices in Season 4 Reloaded. Here are the details on the best loadout build for the match dominance.
While it may seem strange, marksman rifles have had moments where they’ve dominated the Warzone meta. In particular, the DMR from Black Ops Cold War sent shivers down every player’s back.
The weapon category has been relatively quiet since then, but MW3‘s arrival brings a suite of new marksman rifles to work with all capable of dominating the lobby. One standout is the semi-auto DM56 due to its best-in-class rate of fire.

Best DM56 Warzone loadout
- Muzzle: VT-7 Spiritfire Suppressor
- Optic: Corio Eagleseye 2.5x
- Barrel: Prime Lord Heavy Barrel
- Underbarrel: Bruen Heavy Support Grip
- Magazine: 40 Round Mag
Marksman rifles are good primaries in Warzone as you’ll deal tons of damage at any range. However, the tradeoff is your movement speed, strafe speed in particular, and firing speed, since it’s semi-auto, are horrendous. When building your DM56, you’ll want to keep those two downsides in mind.
The VT-7 Spiritfire Suppressor muzzle helps keep your movement speed up by a hint, allowing for improved strafe speeds while also giving you some recoil control. This will be continued with the Prime Lord Heavy Barrel and Bruen Heavy Support Grip to help keep your firing stability in check while moving.
Finally, the 40-round mag is much better than the 20-round default, and the Corio Eagleseye 2.5x is a great sight to use at any range.

- Perk 1: Double Time
- Increases Tac Sprint duration
- Perk 2: Sleight of Hand

- Killing players or inserting a plate immediately starts health regeneration. Health regeneration will not trigger while in the gas.

When using the DM56, you have to keep in mind close-range engagements are your weakness, so you’ll want to hang back and control the tempo. Sleight of Hand keeps you in action with faster reloads, while Doube Time will allow you to use your Tac Sprint much faster.

Throw on Quick FIx to keep your health as high as possible through kickstarting regeneration when inserting a plate. Use Resolutet to get an even greater boost to mobility whenever you are hit by an enemy.
Smoke Grenades in Warzone are a great choice since getting caught in the open marks a death sentence. Meanwhile, a Throwing Knife will take out your enemies with speed and precision.
Keep in mind that Overkill is a default Perk now, meaning you can choose any primary as a secondary now, no Perk needed. Carry around a reliable weapon such as the WSP Swam, Rival-9, or Striker 9 all superb options in a pinch.

As an alternative, the MCW 6.8 boasts the best damage in the marksman rifles class. Conversely, you can look at running something a bit more forgiving such as the MCW assault rifle.
