Loadouts for Support Players

Meta Loadout #1
The undisputed king Season 5 meta builds center around Assault Rifle/SMG loadouts. And none currently compete with the mighty M4 paired with MP5. This combo owns virtually all engagement ranges and environments with best-in-class mobility. Here’s the quintessential M4/MP5 meta:
M4 Assault Rifle
- Hightower 20” Barrel
- FSS Hurricane
- FSS ST87 Stock
- 60 Round Mags
- VLK LZR 7MW Laser
MP5 Submachine Gun
- Subsonic Integral Suppressor
- FTAC Elite G5
- FSS Close Quarters Stock
- Sleight of Hand
- Bruen Cubic Comp
This M4 prioritizes mobility in its attachments while stretching damage range, notably unlocking a 4-shot kill out to 51 meters with the Hightower barrel. Paired with the venerable MP5 built for stealth and hip fire accuracy, you have all effective ranges covered.
For lethal equipment, Semtex or Thermite excel at zone control and initial engagement damage. Heartbeat sensors reveal nearby threats to complement your CQC MP5.
Overkill provides both primary weapons upfront, easily swapping between them as the combat range shifts. Run Cold Blooded to avoid Killstreak targeting and Amped for near instant weapon swaps. And Double Time or Quick Fix round out the perk package for tactical mobility or sustained aggression.
With finely tuned versatile weaponry, this M4/MP5 loadout builds on player skill and smart positioning to achieve victory. Use the M4 to lock down long lanes then clear buildings corner-to-corner with the MP5. This loadout mirrors its success across multiplayer and Warzone, cementing its popularity this season.
Meta Loadout #2
An off-meta yet secretly top tier Season 5 loadout, the Rattlesnake light machine gun and Fennec 45 SMG provide lethal TTK with easier ammo sustain and weapon handling. Built for ranged dominance and the best hip fire accuracy in its class, here is the ideal Rattlesnake/Fennec pair:
Rattlesnake LMG
- SA Schrute 700 Barrel
- FSS OLE-V Laser
- Polarfire-S Grip
- 75 Round Drum
- FSS Raider Stock
Fennec 45
- Monolithic Suppressor
- FSS Deadfall
- 40 Round Mag
- Commando Foregrip
- 5mW Laser
Centered around hip fire, the Rattlesnake dishes out high damage and large magazines for squad wipes, while the Fennec quickly cleans up any close quarters threats.
Thermites and Stim tactical equipment secure flanks and enable pushing when desired. Rock the Resupply, Overkill, Tracker perk combo to replenish lethal stock, quick swap weapons, and hunt recently damaged enemies through buildings.
This setup provides uniquely accurate, hard-hitting weaponry slept on by the masses, making it an unexpected crusher. The Rattlesnake‘s handling and hip fire keep you mobile, while the Fennec outpaces any shotgun or half the SMGs up close. If the popular M4/MP5 meta is giving you trouble, surprise opponents by melting faces with this beastly pair!
Map-Specific Loadouts
Certain maps and areas of the Al Mazrah and Ashika Island battlegrounds lend themselves towards specialized loadouts. Here’s tailored builds per map.
Al Mazrah City – SP-X 80 & Vel 46
When fighting across downtown skyscrapers and plazas, the SP-X 80 Marksman Rifle dominates the near-mid range sightlines formed by windows and storefronts. We pair it with the Vel 46 SMG to swiftly counter indoor assaults on buildings:
SP-X 80
- 22” Osa Barrel
- FSS Guardian Stock
- Variable Zoom Scope
- 12 Round Mag
- FSS Raider Stock
Vel 46
- Schlager ULO-66 Heavy
- FFS 90mm Recoil Booster
- FSS Sharkfin 90
- 40 Round Mag
- FSS Raider Stock
This combination shoots precisely across city blocks, while still handling up close. Lethals like Drill Charges open new flanks through buildings, supported by a Radar Pulse showing real-time enemy movements. Perks Quick Fix, High Alert, Spotter sustain you in drawn out cross-street fights while equipment keeps vision.
Ashika Island – TAQ 56 & P890
In the jungle foliage and scattered villages of Ashika Island, longer range engagements dictate weapon choices. We’ll utilize the TAQ-56 plus P890 for versatile firepower:
TAQ-56
- 15.9” Fluted Barrel
- FSS Hurricane
- FSS Guardian Stock
- 60 Round Drums
- Schlager ULO-66 Heavy
P890
- XRK Longshot Advantage
- FTAC Elite-70 G5 Retrofit
- 13 Round Mag
- VLK LZR 7MW
- FSS Raider Grip
Built for mobility and capacity, the TAQ shreds at most combat distances on Ashika thanks to a fast fire rate and low recoil. Our P890 pistol transitions cleanly into a mini-DMR, picking off enemies precisely across clearings.
Bring C4 to destroy vehicles and equipment while Infrared Sensors watch flanks through dense jungle foliage. Quick Fix sustains your push as Pointman earns lethal Scorestreaks from assists and objective play – easily attainable on a kill-focused map like Ashika.
Loadout Experimentation Tips
Loadout experimentation helps discover your personal perfect weapon pairings and equipment to outgun enemies. Follow these tips to efficiently test loadouts:
- Start by choosing one primary to build around based on your engagement preference, then experiment with multiple secondaries in Plunder
- Balance longer range primaries with short range secondaries (or vice versa) to create loadout versatility
- Determine if mobility, stealth, or raw power suits your gameplan for lethal equipment
- Observe roughly 5 encounters per loadout before assessing viability rather than judging by a single death
- Cycle perk combinations that synergize with weapon choices while complementing your playstyle
- Refine loadouts between matches depending on previous game mode and map rather than radically changing every game
Keep these concepts in mind to hone loadouts best accentuating your personal strengths. Analyzing what plays worked versus didn’t work post-match further refines the process over time, inching closer to your ideal loadout each drop. Be open to off-meta sleeper options as creativity breeds innovation!
