Verdansk’s return to Warzone was accompanied by reintroducing some iconic weapons that earned their fame on the OG map. This includes the CR-56 AMAX, which ranked high among the most dominant guns in the day, alongside the Kilo 141 and the Grau 5.56. Its return as part of Season 3 was triumphant to say the least, as the AR immediately became one of the best weapons in the game. So, if you want to leverage its qualities before the gun is nerfed into the ground, check out our recommendations for the best CR-56 AMAX loadout in Warzone.
Best CR-56 AMAX Loadout in Warzone
- Optic: Willis 3x
- Muzzle: Compensator
- Barrel: Gain-Twist Barrel
- Underbarrel: Vertical Foregrip
- Magazine: Extended Mag II
Our CR-56 AMAX Warzone loadout bolsters the weapon’s qualities and enhances its long-range precision, making it more suitable for battle royale mode.
We’ve opted for the Willis 3x in the optic slot, which provides ample magnification for medium to long-range encounters. But if you’re tuning the AMAX as a close-range shredder, the Volzhskiy Reflex is a solid pick, or you could always rely on just the iron sights. Next up is the Compensator, offering some much-needed recoil control. The attachment reduces its vertical recoil significantly, and while the AR doesn’t turn into a laser by any means, it does become noticeably more stable.
The Gain-Twist Barrel finds a spot on most Assault Rifle loadouts, mainly if players haven’t acquired the Monolithic Suppressor. Nevertheless, the barrel improves the AMAX’s bullet velocity and enhances the amount of damage it can dish out in ranged combat scenarios. To offset the recoil gains from the barrel, the Vertical Foregrip is a great option. Rounding out our loadout is the Extended Mag II, upping the CR-56’s ammo capacity to 60 bullets.
Best CR-56 AMAX Class Setup in Warzone
The CR-56 AMAX has all the tools to be your primary weapon in Warzone. When equipped with the right attachments, the AR’s TTK sits only behind the AK-74, all while having better recoil and being easier to handle. Of course, given Warzone’s dynamic nature, it’s wise to have a secondary weapon you can safely rely on. And no class setup is complete without the best set of Perks and Equipment. On that note, check out our CR-56 AMAX class setup for Warzone below:
Secondary Weapon
- Muzzle: Monolithic Suppressor
- Barrel: Gain-Twist Barrel
- Underbarrel: Lightweight Bipod
- Stock: Combat Stock
- Fire Mod: 108mm Overpressured
The AMAX works exceptionally well as a sniper support weapon, and when it comes to this class, the Warzone HDR is simply unmatched. Boasting a one-shot kill potential like no other weapon, the classic Verdansk Sniper rifle hits like a truck but doesn’t handle like one. After pairing it with the attachments listed above, you’ll also improve its bullet velocity, making the HDR deadly across all ranges.
Perks and Equipment
- Perk 1: Scavenger
- Perk 2: Tracker
- Perk 3: Alertness
- Wildcard: Overkill
- Lethal: Semtex
- Tactical: Smoke Grenade
We’ve gone with the options that have emerged as meta for our perk package in the ongoing season. To kick things off, Scavenger will immediately top off your weapon with maximum reserve ammo while also granting the ability to automatically resupply armor plates from dead enemies.
Next up is Tracker – an evergreen perk that lets you spot enemy footsteps, giving you the choice between pursuing them or bunkering down on your position. In the third slot, Alertness will notify you whenever an enemy aims at you. Naturally, this drastically improves your situational awareness.
Equipment usually comes down to personal preference, but our pick is always reliable Semtex. Smoke Grenades are ideal for tactical situations as they can mask your movements during crucial situations, and even act as life-savers when under heavy fire.
And that wraps up our guide on the best CR-56 AMAX loadout for Warzone. Do you think the AMAX is currently the best gun in the game? Let us know in the comments.
