The Ultimate Bren Loadout Guide for Warzone

If you’re looking to dominate the battlefield in Call of Duty: Warzone, the Bren light machine gun should be a key part of your arsenal. As one of the most powerful weapons in the game, the Bren is capable of downing enemies with just a few well-placed shots. However, to unlock its full potential you’ll need the right attachments. In this guide, I’ll share the best Bren loadout options to help give you a serious edge over the competition.

Best Bren Attachments

When building the optimal Bren loadout, these are the key attachment slots to focus on:

  1. Muzzle – MX Silencer – This attachment greatly enhances your stealth by muffling sound and hiding muzzle flash, which is important for ambushing enemies at range with the Bren’s power.
  2. Barrel – Orbweaver 360mm BC – This noticeably boosts both damage range and bullet velocity, making it easy to land lethal shots from long distances. I’ve found it vastly improves the Bren’s reliability at sniping opponents.
  3. Optic – SVT-40 PU Scope 3-6x – For the Bren, I favor a low-powered scope that gives some magnification without slowing movement speed too much. The SVT-40’s 3-6x scope provides just enough zoom to pick off targets from the fringe of its effective range.
  4. Underbarrel – M1941 Hand Stop – Adds much-needed control to the Bren’s recoil, making follow-up shots laser-accurate for destroying full squads in just seconds. I’ve wiped entire teams thanks to the stable fire this attachment provides.
  5. Magazine – 6.5mm Sakura 75 Round Drums – With its default magazine being a paltry 20 rounds, extended mags are essentially mandatory on the Bren. The 75 round drums give you massive staying power in protracted fights.

Using these core attachments transforms the Bren into an extremely versatile long-range monster. In my experience though, you’ll need the right complementary perks and equipment to bring everything together into a cohesive loadout.

Secondary Weapon and Equipment

As powerful as the Bren is at distance, you’ll still want a reliable close-quarters backup. The MP40 is an excellent choice due to its speed and firepower up close. For equipment, I run Stun Grenades and Spotter Scope. Stuns give a temporary advantage indoors, while the Spotter lets me scout enemies and disable equipment from a safe distance.

Perks

The right perks complement your weapons and playstyle. For the Bren loadout, I run Overkill to get both my primary and secondary, then Pair it with Amped for swapping weapons lightning fast. E.O.D is useful for surviving explosives, while Combat Scout helps finish downed enemies through walls. Ghost keeps me concealed from UAVs at range.

Real-World Performance

From my experience playing dozens of matches with this Bren class, it truly dominates at mid-long ranges. I’ve racked up countless kills thanks to its high damage and accuracy. Getting into power positions lets me pick off squad after squad with ease. At the same time, its versatility has saved me in close-range scraps more than once.

When fully kitted like above, it melts enemies quicker than just about any automatic weapon. I’ve definitely won fights purely because my opponent simply couldn’t damage me fast enough before succumbing to the Bren. Its 75-round capacity means spamming damage non-stop too. The Bren loadout gives me confidence in any situation.

Of course, it’s not without flaws. Moving and ADS speeds feel sluggish compared to assault rifles or SMGs. And sustained full-auto fire causes the vertical kick to climb rapidly. So it rewards precision over spraying bullets. But in skilled hands at the right ranges, few other guns can match the Bren’s TTK and stopping power.

Alternative Options

While the attachments above make for an outstanding Bren class, feel free to tweak things based on your preferences or playstyle. For example, you could swap the scope for a simpler red dot if you rely more on hip-fire. And experimenting with other underbarrels like the Carver Foregrip is worthwhile too for marginal recoil improvements.

There’s also merit to using different perks combo instead of Overkill+Amped. For instance, Double Time gives greatly increased tactical sprint duration, which is handy given the Bren’s agility. And you could opt for Combat Scout + Ghost instead to further boost your intel gathering and stealth.

At the end of the day, the beauty of the Bren loadout lies in its immense versatility across many engagement ranges. Try different permutations until you settle on a setup that clicks best for you. But with the right attachments, perks and complementary weapons/equipment, the Bren will serve you amazingly well in Verdansk for getting loads of high-kill games.

Final Thoughts

Whether playing aggressive or holding power positions, the Bren is an ever-reliable workhorse for coming out on top. From getting wins with random teammates to dominating in competitive lobbies, it gets the job done gangbusters. Though maybe I shouldn’t blow its cover too much – I kinda dig keeping this tanky LMG as my “secret weapon” loadout if you know what I mean!

Hope this guide gave you a good idea of how to truly maximize the Bren’s potential. Let me know if you have any other questions! Happy hunting out there in Verdansk.

FAQ

  1. What guns should I use in my Bren loadout?

    The Bren is typically used as a long-range light machine gun, so you’ll want guns that complement that playstyle. The Bren itself is a great choice for mid-to-long range combat. You may also want to bring along an assault rifle or SMG for close quarters fights. The STG44, Cooper Carbine, and MP40 pair nicely with the Bren.

  2. Which attachments work best on the Bren?

    For attachments, I’d recommend things that boost accuracy and control like theRecoil Booster, Mercury Silencer, War Paw Grip, Carver Foregrip, and F8 Stabilizer. The Bren has serious kick without attachments, so taming that recoil is key. You may also want mágazines that up the ammo count like 6.5mm Sakura 20 Round Mags or 7.62 Gorenko 30 Round Mags.

  3. What perks work well in a Bren class?

    When it comes to perks, you’ll want things that improve survivability and mobility. Combat Scout is amazing for spotting enemies at range. Tracker helps flush out opponents hiding in buildings. Fortified shields you from explosives. Overkill or Ghost let you bring two primary weapons. On the other hand, Radar or High Alert provide valuable intel on enemy positions. Ultimately mix and match perks to your playstyle.

  4. What’s the best mode for using a Bren loadout?

    The Bren truly shines in larger game modes with big open spaces like Caldera, Fortune’s Keep, and Ground War. Its long range prowess lets you beam enemies from afar. Meanwhile, its high ammo capacity is perfect for controlling capture points or holding positions. The Bren can also work in Rebirth or Fortunes Keep, but you may want alternate weapons for tight indoor sections. All in all, play to the Bren’s strengths at distance in the more expansive playlists.

  5. When should I avoid using a Bren class?

    You’ll want to switch to a different loadout if the action gets too up close. While the Bren is effective at medium distances, in tight indoor spaces an SMG or shotgun will usually outgun it. Game modes like Das Haus or Shipment are just too chaotic for its playstyle. Additionally, if your team needs high mobility for objectives, an LMG may slow you down compared to an AR or tactical rifle class. So evaluate the map, mode, and situation before deploying the Bren.

  6. Is a Bren class viable in Warzone 2.0?

    It’s too early to say for sure, but a Bren loadout may translate well to Warzone 2.0. Many of the same gameplay elements that make the Bren strong in Verdansk and Caldera-like long sightlines, big maps, capture points-will likely still be present. And LMGs typically stay competitive in the Battle Royale format. Nevertheless, the new mechanics and balance changesmean we’ll need to see how the Bren fares. Come launch, I’m sure the community will determine which guns shine in Warzone’s new map.

  7. How can I improve my Bren skills over time?

    Experience is key to mastering any weapon in Warzone. Focus on getting acquainted with the Bren’s handling traits and optimal engagement distances. Work on controlling recoil. Memorize your preferred attachments. Another tip is to review your gameplay footage and identify mistakes. Also watch top streamers to learn from their Bren strategies. With practice managing the Bren’s strengths and limitations, you’ll refine your skills over many games. But it takes time and patience to reach expert level with any gun.
