The TAQ-56, known as the Scar to veterans of Call of Duty, is a solid AR that somewhat fell out of favor with the community, but a good meta TAQ-56 Warzone 2 loadout can make it shine, so here’s our suggestion.
Warzone 2’s Season 3 update has shaken up the meta and added a huge amount of new content.
Despite this, the main priority for players is choosing a top-tier weapon and setup to dominate their opponents on the battlefield.
Well, if you’re looking for raw firepower, manageable recoil control, and a solid amount of mobility, it’s time you picked up the classic TAQ-56, otherwise known as the Scar. With a 4.3% pick rate, the AR is one of the most popular guns in Warzone 2, and it’s easy to see why.
However, to push this AR to its limits, the TAQ-56 needs the best attachments equipped and luckily, we’ve got you covered.

Attachments
- Muzzle: Harbinger D20
- Barrel: 17.5″ Tundra Pro Barrel
- Rear Grip: FSS Combat Grip
- Underbarrel: FTAC Ripper 56
- Magazine: 60-Round Mag
Kick off your build with the Harbinger D20 and the 17.5″ Tundra Pro Barrel, these will significantly increase the TAQ-56’s damage range and bullet velocity. As a result, you’ll be able to melt opponents at medium range with ease, and the added sound suppression from the muzzle is a huge bonus.
Following that, equip the FFS Combat Grip and the FTAC Ripper 56, to increase the overall stability of the weapon. This enhanced recoil control will make landing all of your bullets on foes incredibly simple, especially when utilizing the TAQ-56’s clean iron sight.
Finally, round off the loadout with the 60 Round Mag to ensure you never run out of ammo and can wipe out an entire squad without having to reload.
Best TAQ-56 Warzone 2 class: Perks & equipment
Perk Package: Weapon Specialist
- Base Perk 1: Overkill
- Base Perk 2: Strong Arm
- Bonus Perk: Spotter
- Ultimate Perk: Survivor
- Lethal: Grenade

While the correct attachments on a weapon are key, so is your choice of perk package as each bundle offers distinct advantages while navigating Al Mazrah.
We’ve opted for Weapon Specialist as it suits the TAQ-56 perfectly and is great for aggressive players. For starters, Overkill is solid in Warzone 2 as the ability to wield a second primary immediately adds more versatility to your loadout. Whether you run an aggressive SMG or a sniper to pick off opponents from afar, both would elevate your class to the next level.
Next, Strong Arm allows you to be more precise with your throwables and toss them longer distances. On top of that, Spotter ensures you’ll never be caught off guard by enemy equipment, killstreaks, or field upgrades.
