The best assault rifle from Advanced Warfare returned to Call of Duty in Season 3 Reloaded and thanks to its blistering rate of fire and built-in accuracy enhancements, there's every chance it skyrockets in popularity as players look for the next best weapon to top the scoreboards with.

In this guide, find the best Warzone BAL-27 loadout along with an attachment combination that's guaranteed to shred through the opposition.

What Is the Best Warzone BAL-27 Loadout?

  • Muzzle: VT-7 Spiritfire Suppressor

Best Warzone BAL-27 Attachments

After testing numerous combinations in the gunsmith, this set of five is ideal for utilizing the BAL-27's excellent rate of fire and high levels of accuracy at longer distance:

  • Muzzle: VT-7 Spiritfire Suppressor
  • Optic: JAK Glassless
  • Underbarrel: Bruen Heavy Support Grip
  • Ammunition: 5.7x28mm High Grain Rounds
  • Magazine: 60 Round Mag

Up first is the VT-7 Spiritfire Suppressor which improves bullet velocity and range alongside keeping the shots fired hidden from any enemy UAVs patrolling the skies. Next is the JAK Glassless optic for a crystal-clear view of the intended target.

Our underbarrel of choice is the Bruen Heavy Support Grip to improve horizontal recoil and aiming stability when firing the BAL-27 for a prolonged period of time. I found the improvements hugely beneficial when tracking a target that was over 30 meters away.

The damage improvements come from the 5.7x28mm High Grain Rounds which ensures minimal amounts of drop-off when attempting to land some long-range hits onto the opposition. Lastly is the 60 Round Mag. The increase in ammo capacity stops you from running out of bullets in the heat of battle and also allows you to eliminate multiple targets without the need to reload.

Best Warzone BAL-27 Perks and Equipment

Once the best BAL-27 attachments are ready to rumble, it's time to focus on a combination of perks and equipment that will improve performance even further. Here's what we recommend using alongside the rifle.

Perks

  • Perk 1: EOD
  • Perk 2: Double Time
  • Perk 3: Tempered
  • Perk 4: High Alert

It's hard to go wrong with this selection of perks. EOD increases resistance to any nearby explosives that are bound to go off next to you during a match while Double Time makes the most of the BAL-27's impressive mobility thanks to longer Tac Sprint.

Next is Tempered. Having to place two armor plates in a satchel instead of three speeds up the process, giving you the best chance of getting back in the fight quicker than your opponents.

Lastly is High Alert. Once an enemy has clocked your location, your vision will pulse orange. The increase in awareness gives you plenty of time to decide whether the BAL-27 can win the fight or if it's best to move to a more favorable position before engaging.

Is the Warzone BAL-27 Meta?

The BAL-27 possesses several characteristics that make it a force to be reckoned with in close-range and mid-range battles. In the early stages of Season 3 Reloaded, the BAL-27 is part of the meta. We'll have to see how future buffs and nerfs impact its performance but for now, it's a solid pick.
