Season 3 of Warzone Pacific is live and that means everyone can work to get their hands on a brand new M1916 for use in a ranged loadout. The latest marksman rifle offers up precision and damage to mirror some of the other weapons in the same Call of Duty: Vanguard category.

In terms of attachments, the M1916 seems similar to the Gewehr 43, but if it had more damage to dish out by default. Firing modes can be altered and there are plenty of options for accurate shots at range designed to knock enemies quick. This loadout will capitalize on the best parts of this new rifle.

Two major attachments can alter the intention of the M1916 loadout in Warzone Pacific Season 3. Whether you use a fully automatic barrel or not can change the entire design of the weapon and the intended range. While full auto may be useful in Vanguard, the semi-auto barrels appear to be more effective in Warzone. Keeping that in mind, the full attachment list will aim to retain damage while providing control and range.

Muzzle: F8 Stabilizer
Underbarrel: M1941 Hand Stop
Barrel: ZP 762mm Precision
Rear Grip: Leather Grip
Stock: ZP M502 Custom
Optic: G16 2.5x
Magazine: 5mm Sakura 20 Round Mags
Ammo Type: Lengthened
Perk 1: Perfectionist / Vital
Perk 2: Fully Loaded

As mentioned before, the ZP 762mm Precision barrel is integral to this loadout for the M1916. Aside from the other full-auto barrel, there are some decent alternatives. But this barrel is going to give the new rifle all of the control and range benefits that we are looking for on a build such as this.

When you start looking at muzzles and grips, the options start to open up even more. The M1941 Hand Stop is a fairly easy pick, but the rear grip and the muzzle get tougher. An F8 Stabilizer is a safe bet for range and accuracy. Meanwhile, the Leather Grip is another simple choice for additional ADS speed.

Keep in mind that the attachments such as a Polymer Grip or a Mercury Silencer are also great alternatives. Classes are always subject to change as a season moves on and it helps to keep an eye on what you like best in a loadout mold.

Magazines are another integral part of the M1916 loadout. For this class, the 5mm Sakura 20 Round Mags make the most sense. They increase fire rate, control, and mobility significantly. This will come at the cost of some damage, but on a semi-auto weapon, this will have less of an effect.

The rest of the attachments are standard fare for most loadouts. Optics and perks tend to be subjective, with a couple of meta options. Perfectionist will give your weapon an extra control boost, and Vital has become less prominent.

That's all there is to know about the new Season 3 rifle. For more of the best new Warzone Pacific loadouts, be sure to check out the rest of our Call of Duty section.
