Best Warzone Bryson 800 attachments

The Warzone gunsmith contains a wealth of attachments to gear every single weapon to suit any style of play. After a bit of testing, this set of five stands out from the crowd in Season 6 Reloaded:

  • Muzzle: Bryson Choke
  • Laser: VLK LZR 7mW
  • Stock: XTEN Ripcord Stock
  • Underbarrel: FSS Sharkfin 90
  • Guard: Demo X50 Tactical Pump

For improved handling, the combination of the XTEN Ripcord Stock and the Demo X50 Tactical Pump increases sprint speed in addition to crouch movement speed which means you can creep around buildings without alerting opponents with your footsteps.

To ensure there's some kind of stability when firing the Bryson 800, the FSS Sharkfin 90 underbarrel manages any recoil generated by the powerful shotgun shells.

Best Warzone Bryson perk package and equipment

Once the best Bryson 800 attachments are ready for battle, selecting a perk package and equipment combination is the next step to building the best close-range loadout. Here are our recommendations.

Perk package

  • Base: Overkill
  • Base: Bomb Squad
  • Bonus: Fast Hands
  • Ultimate: High Alert

The Bryson 800 has no long-distance firepower which is where Overkill comes in handy. The perk allows you to equip two primary weapons in the same loadout and on this occasion, we recommend using the Cronen Squall battle rifle for some extra mid-range and long-distance performance.

Equipment

  • Lethal: Semtex
  • Tactical: Smoke Grenade

It's hard to go wrong with this particular equipment combination. Semtex is capable of dealing plenty of additional explosive damage while the smoke grenade is perfect for improvised cover or to flank any unsuspecting opposition.

Is the Bryson 800 good in Warzone 2?

After using the Bryson 800 in Al Mazrah and Ashika Island, it's a solid shotgun that's great for close-range combat. However, its lack of versatility means there are better options available.
