The Best Warzone 2.0 EBR-14 Loadout | A Viable Semi-Auto

Because there are so few great long-ranged options the semi-auto marksman rifle EBR-14 is actually viable. Unlike Warzone 1 it's really pretty decent these days. Here's the best attachment setup for the EBR-14.

The EBR-14 is one of the weapons that was also in Warzone 1, although unlike the version from Warzone 1, the current EBR-14 is viable. More than viable, in fact, it's actually pretty good.

Because there are no really dominant long-range options, using a semi-auto as strong as the EBR is now good enough to keep up with the meta. You can find the best attachment setup for the EBR-14 in Warzone 2 below.

Getting that second shot on target is really critical, so we're focusing on recoil control more than usually might with a marksman rifle. Although, with the Valor Stock, we've tuned it towards ADS to gain back a little more handling.

Lots of optics will work well with the EBR, but you really want a 3x at the minimum. We think the Luca Bandera is one of the best mid to long-range options right now as it offers variable zoom between two great magnification strengths: 3x and 7x.

The Best Loadout For The EBR-14: Secondary, Perks & Equipment

Secondary: Kastov-74u

As a marksman rifle spec'd for range, we obviously can't use the EBR-14 as a main. So we'll take the Kastov-74u as a support weapon for when we're looting, travelling, and pushing into aggressive situations.

If you don't love the Kastov-74u, we can also highly recommend the STB-556 as a great short-range AR.

Perks (Base, Bonus & Ultimate)

We've said it before, and we'll say it again, this is the best Perk Package:

Perk Package Specter Package

Base Perk

Double Time / Tracker

Bonus PerkSpotter
Ultimate Perk

Ghost

We need Ghost because it's so strong in the current meta, and so we only really have a choice between two Packages. We think this is the better of the two packages with Ghost because Double Time and Tracker are both useful, even if Spotter is a bit trash.

Equipment (Lethal & Tactical)

These are our favorite grenades to use with the EBR-14:

LethalDrill Charges
Tactical

Flash Grenades

There are dozens of good options for equipment, and you should choose what you're comfortable with. That said, we think the Drill Charge is a ton of fun, and we think a lot of players will enjoy using it to draw out campers. We've taken Flash Grenades because they feel honestly broken right now, so use them before they get nerfed!

If you're looking for other weapons to use instead, or to pair with the EBR-14, you can find a complete tier list of every weapon in Warzone 2 here.
