Currently dominating the META, TAQ-56 is one of the best assault rifles of Warzone 2’s Season 4. It’s a gas-operated short-stroke light AR designed after the real-life weapon SCAR-L. What makes TAQ-56 a go-to for mid-range loadouts is its low recoil and high bullet velocity. This gun is fast and accurate. However, despite its promising base stats, TAQ needs to catch up to the legendary M4 and Kastov 762.
To compensate for TAQ-56’s weaknesses, Warzone 2 players will need a practical class setup, one that emphasizes the gun’s speed while negating its below-average force. Here’s how to create the best loadout for TAQ-56 and turn it into the deadliest AR ever.
The Best Class Setup For TAQ-56
To build the best TAQ-56 loadout, combine the Harbinger D20 muzzle and the 7.5” Tundra Pro Barrel. And complete the setup with the FTAC Ripper 56 underbarrel, Aim OP-V4 optic, and the 60-round magazine. For more stability, go with the Cardinal Stock and attach the Demo Cleanshot to the rear grip.
- Muzzle: Harbinger D20
- Barrel: 7.5” Tundra Pro
- Underbarrel: FTAC Ripper 56
- Rear Grip: Demo Cleanshot
- Optic: Aim OP-V4 (or iron sights)
- Ammunition: 5.56 High Velocity
- Magazine: 60-Round (40-Round for solos)
- Laser: N/A
To unlock TAQ-56 in Warzone 2, players will need to reach Level 19.
How To Tune The TAQ-56 Loadout
As a high-fire-rate assault rifle, TAQ is prone to underperforming in long-range and fails in team combat. So, the goal of its tuning should be maximizing stability and damage.
Here’s the best tuning for each TAQ-56 attachment:
- Harbinger D20: ↑ +1.30 → +0.40
- 7.5” Tundra Pro: ↑ +15.00 → +0.10
- FTAC Ripper 56: ↑ +0.80 → +0.40
- Aim Op-V4: ↑ -0.90 → +0.00
The above adjustment turns TAQ-56 into a zero-recoil AR in Warzone 2’s Season 4. However, it still struggles to get kills in long-range combat and requires a secondary with a more effective range.
The Best Perk & Equipment For TAQ-56
Since quick reactions are the key to running a successful TAQ-56 class setup, players are recommended to equip Fast Hand and High Alert perks. But they should also benefit from Overkill’s bonus to pair TAQ with a ranged weapon—like a one-shot sniper.
As for the equipment, the ideal Tactical and Lethal are Flashbangs and Throwing Knives. However, sneaky players will also find Smoke Grenades handy in this loadout.
