Best Nikita loadout in COD: Warzone Season 3

Call of Duty: Warzone Season 3 has finally landed. This season, titled Classified Arms, includes a swathe of new content via the battle pass, a whole bunch of new map changes, sweeping balance changes hitting a lot of weapons – especially sniper rifles – and much more. 

But one of the big new introductions is the Nikita. This brand new weapon from Call of Duty: Vanguard enters the game as a very capable Assault Rifle. If you’re willing to grind out some games with it to level it up, you can create a powerful and capable loadout for this weapon. Just read below for the loadout attachments you need to help this weapon dominate. 

Best Nikita loadout – Warzone

The Nikita (VG) has just entered the game, and it’s a very decent Assault Rifle, as you can see in our Season 3 patch notes breakdown. You’ll need to grind out some games in order to unlock all of the attachments you need to make the most of this weapon, and in that time you should hopefully have a good feel for how the recoil and range of this weapon behaves. Below you’ll find all the attachments you need to make this weapon effective, as suggested by JGOD

  • Muzzle: Mercury Silencer.
  • Barrel: Kovalevskaya 548mm Precision.
  • Optic: G16 2.5x.
  • Stock: ZAC MS.
  • Underbarrel: Carver Foregrip.
  • Magazine: 7.62x54mmR Round.
  • Ammunition: Lengthened.
  • Rear Grip: Hatched Grip.
  • Perk: Brace.
  • Perk 2: On-Hand.

A bit like in our STG44 (VG) loadout guide, this combination of attachments sacrifices a bit of Mobility and Control in exchange for more Accuracy, Damage, and Range. This is a solid spread, but can be altered slightly if you wish to sacrifice a bit of Range for Control, for example, if you don’t like dealing with the recoil pattern. 

All of these attachments can set up a skilled Warzone player for an excellent game when using the Nikita (VG). Of course, you will still need to call in a Loadout drop to get the attachments you want, which just might be harder than ever in Season 3, but if you want to win, this is the way to do it.
