Despite a few nerfs to its headshot damage, the Vaznev still remains the pro SMG of choice in MW2 and one of the strongest in Warzone 2. But what is the best Vaznev-9K loadout in Warzone 2 and Modern Warfare 2 right now? Read on to find out.
Best Vaznev-9K Warzone 2 Loadout
Despite successive nerfs, the Vaznev’s standout damage and range make it one of the strongest SMGs there is. Its fire-rate isn’t exactly groundbreaking, but it’s able to outperform other weapons thanks to its rapid TTK and solid range.
Firstly, the XTEN RR-40 improves range and bullet velocity considerably, pushing the Vaznev into being able to compete with the weaker ARs. The Lockgrip Precision-40 stabilizes shots to a significant extent, as well as aiding hip-fire accuracy to land accurate shots as you ADS.
- Muzzle: XTEN RR-40
- Underbarrel: Lockgrip Precision-40
- Magazine: 45 Round Mag
- Rear Grip: True-Tac Grip
- Ammunition: 9mm Overpressured
The True-Tac Grip speeds up ADS and sprint to fire, going someway to negate the undesirable handling effects of the recoil-controlling attachments.
The 45-Round Mag is also important, reducing the need to reload and keeping you in the action, especially in larger team games like Trios and Quads. We’re pairing it up with the 9mm Overpressured ammunition. It’s emerged as an incredibly powerful attachment on SMGs and inflicts increased target flinch onto opponents, among other benefits.

In MW2, you can drop the larger magazine and the stock. Instead, you’ll want to focus on improving ADS, sprint to fire and overall mobility. To that end, we’re introducing the Otrezat Stock and True-Tac Grip.
Similarly, we’re swapping out the XTEN RR-40 Muzzle for the Bruen Pendulum, aiding recoil to a greater degree and losing the sound suppression, which is less important in multiplayer because of the absence of CoD’s traditional minimap system.
- Muzzle: Bruen Pendulum
- Underbarrel: Commando Foregrip
- Stock: Otrezat Stock
- Rear Grip: True-Tac Grip
- Barrel: KAS-1 381mm
We’re completing the loadout with the KAS-1 381mm and Commando Foregrip, keeping recoil easy to control and your Vaznev on target. It augments the Vaznev’s strengths and lessens its weaknesses, easily the best all-round SMG in MW2’s current Season 3 meta.
There you have it, that’s all you need to know about the best Vaznev-9K loadout in Warzone 2 and Modern Warfare 2. For everything Call of Duty, including the best weapons in all of Warzone 2, stick with us at Twinfinite.
