2021 CDL Champion FaZe Simp Reveals His Vanguard Automaton Loadout

When it comes to loadouts in Call of Duty: Vanguard, everyone has their own preferences. Nevertheless, the Automaton is pretty popular, and it's a lot of fun to use. In fact, JGOD considered it one of his top 12 weapons for the next Warzone integration.

Chris 'FaZe Simp' Lehr, a Call of Duty pro and CDL Champion, shared his preferred Automaton loadout. "The best AR class in Vanguard," he said, which is a bold statement. We provide the loadout, a video of him explaining it, and a screenshot for everyone interested.

Vanguard best Automaton loadout

Almost immediately, the video begins with his Vanguard loadout. Vanguard's perks are Ninja, Radar, and Double Time, and he has a frag grenade and stun grenade in his loadout. According to him, these are "the basics for any competitive class right now," so if you want to be a pro, use them.

The loadout itself is pretty simple:

  • Magazine: Empty
  • Proficiency: Tight Grip
  • Kit: On-Hand
  • Muzzle: G28 Compensator
  • Barrel: Anastasia Sniper
  • Ammo Type: Lengthened
  • Rear Grip: Granular Grip
  • Optic: Slate Reflector
  • Stock: Zac Skeletal
  • Underbarrel: M1941 Hand Stop

There is surprisingly little information in the Magazine, which feels like a waste of potential help. There is no mention of why the Magazine is empty, but we have to trust that this pro knows what he's doing.

For those interested, here is a screenshot:
