Best Vaznev-9K Warzone 2 loadout
Attachments
- Muzzle: Lockshot KT85
- Barrel: KAS-1 381mm
- Stock: Otrezat Stock
- Magazine: 45 Round Mag
- Rear Grip: True-TAC Grip
This Vaznev-9K Warzone 2 loadout focuses on making the SMG as accurate as possible without sacrificing too much handling. The Lockshot KT85 muzzle provides a big reduction to horizontal recoil whilst also noticeably improving vertical recoil.
Combining that with the True-TAC Grip makes the Vaznev-9K extremely accurate and able to outgun enemy players even in mid-range gunfights. To improve its mid-range further, it’s also best to use the KAS-1 381mm barrel as this improves damage range and bullet velocity.
To avoid slowing down the Vaznev too much it’s worth equipping the Otrezat Stock. This stock attachment greatly improves aim walking speed and sprint speed keeping the Vaznev mobile and feeling like an SMG.
Finally, the 45 Round Mag is a must as the Vaznev-9K’s default 30 round magazine isn’t ideal for Warzone. The extra rounds provided by this attachment make it much easier to down multiple enemies before having to reload.

Double Time increases the duration of Tactical Sprint which can be crucial while trying to escape a gunfight or chasing down enemies. It gels well with the Vaznev-9K’s high mobility. Meanwhile, Tracker gives you the intel on where enemy teams have been recently making it easier to figure out where to go.
Spotter is the ideal Bonus Perk as it helps you to spot enemy equipment, Field Upgrades, and Killstreaks through walls. The last thing you want whilst pushing a team is to be downed by a well-placed Proximity Mine or Claymore.
And lastly, for the Ultimate Perk, High Alert is the best option as it gives you the opportunity to react when an enemy is aiming at you. This is fantastic for aggressive playstyles as it makes you less likely to be punished whilst running around in the open.
For lethal equipment, a Throwing Knife is ideal for finishing off downed enemies without having to waste ammo. This works well with a Heartbeat Sensor which can track any players not using Ghost up to 50 meters.
