September 28, 2023: Season 6 is officially underway and we've updated the best Warzone BAS-P loadout

What is the best Warzone BAS-P loadout to use during Season 6? That's one question on the minds of Warzone players dropping into Call of Duty's battle royale. Although this particular SMG has never made its mark on the meta, it still makes an impact throughout a match.

After dodging the latest round of weapon buffs and nerfs, the BAS-P is one of the stronger SMGs available but with several other options in the category, it's often overlooked despite its high mobility and ease of use.

Before we take a closer look at the best Warzone 2 BAS-P loadout, don't forget to take a look at our other guides showcasing the current meta and everything there is to know about Warzone 2 ranked play.

What is the best Warzone BAS-P loadout?

  • Muzzle: 10.5" Bruen Typhon
  • Optic: Cronen Mini Pro
  • Stock: Ravage-8
  • Magazine: 50 Round Drum
  • Rear Grip: D37 Grip

Although this build negatively impacts handling, the improvements to damage, range, and recoil control transform the BAS-P into a laser beam in close-quarters combat.

In a game where a fast time to kill is a key ingredient, this build does the job perfectly.

Best Warzone BAS-P attachments

The Warzone 2 gunsmith is full of attachments capable of transforming any gun to suit any style of play. After managing to unlock the SMG, we've found a set of five attachments making the BAS-P an incredible weapon to use in close-range engagements.

  • Barrel: 10.5" Bruen Typhon
  • Optic: Cronen Mini Pro
  • Stock: Ravage-8
  • Magazine: 50 Round Drum
  • Rear Grip: D37 Grip

The mobility of the BAS-P is already extremely high so the hit with this particular combination is barely noticeable. The extra damage comes from the 10.5" Bruen barrel while the rest of the loadout focuses on controlling the kick.

To tame the quick fire rate of the SMG, the choice of the D37 Grip makes plenty of sense thanks to its recoil control.

Lastly, the 50-Round Drum gives you plenty of ammunition to deal with multiple opponents without having to dip out of the action and reload.

How to unlock BAS-P in Warzone

The BAS-P first appeared in the Season 1 Battle Pass but with that season done and dusted, there are a couple of ways you can get your hands on the SMG during Season 6.

DMZ is the first way to unlock the BAS-P. If you manage to loot it and successfully exfil with it, you'll have access to the SMG in Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2.

The second method requires you to score 25 headshots using any SMG in the arsenal. Scoring headshots is much easier than attempting to complete a successful exfil but if you plan on dropping into DMZ, make sure you do so with a squad.
