Want to know the best Warzone RAM-9 loadout for battle royale action? You've come to the right place.

The RAM-9 submachine gun (SMG) arrived to Call of Duty as part of the Season 2 update and it's already made an impact on the ever-changing meta. Armed with a devastating rate of fire, this particular SMG excels in close-quarters combat. However, at longer distances, its recoil is a little tricky to contain.

In this guide, find the very best Warzone RAM-9 loadout to use along with the best attachments to equip and the best perk package to enhance performance even further.

What Is the Best Warzone RAM-9 Loadout?

  • Muzzle: ZEHMN35 Compensated Flash Hider
  • Comb: Recon Comb
  • Magazine: 50 Round Mag
  • Rear Grip: Haste XV Grip Tape
  • Stock: Hunker-5 Stock Pad
  • Grenades: Semtex / Smoke
  • Perks: EOD / Double Time / Stalker / High Alert

Although this build does reduce accuracy levels and recoil control, the improvements to mobility, handling, and aim-down sight speed certainly make up for it.

Reaction times in close-quarters combat are the key to succeeding and the RAM-9 delivers in all those areas that allow you to snap onto the target as fast as possible.

Best Warzone RAM-9 attachments

The gunsmith contains a wealth of different attachments capable of suiting any style of play. After some testing, this set of five is an excellent choice:

  • Muzzle: ZEHMN35 Compensated Flash Hider
  • Comb: Recon Comb
  • Stock: Hunker-5 Stock Pad
  • Magazine: 50 Round Mag
  • Rear Grip: Haste XV Grip Tape

This combination of attachments may not enhance the damage output of the RAM-9 but that's not an issue. With a focus on improving reactions and handling, the pairing of the Recon Comb and Haste XV Grip Tape enhances ADS speed, sprint-to-fire time, and movement speed.

The Hunker-5 Stock Pad improves recoil and gun kick, providing extra accuracy in mid-range engagements where landing shots make all the difference.

The ZEHMN35 Compensated Flash Hider improves ADS speed along with a reduction in recoil while the 50 Round Mag gives you a chance to eliminate multiple opponents in quick succession.

Best Warzone RAM-9 Perks and Equipment

Once the best Warzone RAM-9 attachments are ready for battle, selecting a strong perk combination and pieces of equipment that'll enhance performance even further is the next step to building the very best loadout. Here's what we recommend:

Perks

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

EOD increases resistance to any nearby explosives that land nearby throughout a match while Double Time doubles the length of Tactical Sprint, maximising the RAM-9's mobility.

Up next is Stalker which improves strafing and ADS speeds even further, giving you the fastest reaction times possible. Lastly is High Alert. This perk is arguably the most useful as it pulses your vision if an enemy has clocked your location.

Equipment

  • Lethal: Semtex
  • Tactical: Smoke Grenade

The sticky nature of Semtex makes it a useful piece of lethal equipment. Stick it to a nearby vehicle to disable it quickly or onto the ceiling of a building to deal damage to anyone in proximity.

Smokes are always useful. Use it to block a line of sight or as a temporary distraction while you retreat to safety.

Is the Warzone RAM-9 Meta?

As Season 3 reaches the halfway point, the RAM-9 has slotted towards the top of the current Warzone meta thanks to its incredible mobility and rate of fire. There's every chance it receives a nerf to bring it in line with other SMGs but for the time being, it's one of the very best to use in battle royale and Resurgence modes.
