The Sokol 545 is a full-auto light machine gun introduced in Black Ops 7 Season 1, and here’s the best loadout you can use in Warzone.
The new LMG unlocks via the Naughty & Nice event by completing all challenges across Multiplayer, Zombies, and Warzone modes. You can also grab it instantly through a future store bundle blueprint. This LMG features on-demand fire mode switching–a slow, accurate rate for long-range precision or a fast rate with boosted damage but higher recoil.
Its Prestige attachment transforms it into a six-round burst beast with improved recoil control, mobility, and fire rate, at the cost of some damage and range. To make it effective in Warzone, here are the best attachments and perks for the Sokol 545.

The best Sokol 545 loadout in Warzone
This Sokol 545 build is tuned to hit hard at mid‑to‑long range while keeping recoil and handling manageable for Warzone team fights.
Best Sokol 545 Warzone build
| Slot | Attachment |
|---|---|
| Optic |
Redwell 30‑S 2X (2x Magnification, Recoil Gun Kick) |
| Muzzle |
Eclipse 7.62 Brake (First Shot Recoil Control, Kick Reset Speed, Vertical Recoil Control) |
| Barrel |
18.2″ Parlous Heavy Barrel (Vertical and Horizontal Recoil Control, Bullet Velocity) |
| Underbarrel |
LTI Missive Grip (Horizontal Recoil Control) |
| Rear Grip |
SWF Garrote Grip (First Shot Recoil Control, Vertical Recoil Control, Recoil Gun Kick) |
The Redwell 30‑S 2x optic has a clean, low‑zoom optic that lets you track targets across open lanes without excessive visual recoil.
The Eclipse 7.62 Brake trades a bit of stealth for strong recoil reduction. On the Sokol 545, which already kicks under full‑auto, this keeps your sights from climbing so you can hold beams on armored opponents.
The 18.2″ Parlous Heavy Barrel boosts bullet velocity and headshot damage, which is exactly what you want in Warzone, where enemies have plates. The LTI Missive Grip underbarrel is a vertical foregrip that stabilizes the gun during sustained sprays. Combine that with the SWF Garrote Grip to improve handling and help mitigate flinch.
The barrel, muzzle, and underbarrel combo focuses on recoil control and velocity, turning the Sokol 545 into a beam for holding sightlines, anchoring for your squad, and farming rotations. With this build, you’re getting high fire rate, belt‑fed pressure, strong headshot multiplier, and reduced recoil, making this a solid long‑range choice for Warzone.
Best Sokol 545 class setup in Warzone
- Secondary weapon: Sniper rifle or SMG
- Melee: Personal preference
- Tactical: Smoke Grenade
- Lethal: Molotov or Frag Grenade
- Perk 1: Scavenger
- Perk 2: Quick Fix
- Perk 3: Tracker
Your secondary weapon for distance depends on how you like to engage and what your team needs. It could either be a sniper for picks or an SMG for close-range takedowns.
Smoke Grenades are a lifesaver. You can pop one to revive teammates, dodge incoming fire from sketchy spots, or kill off flames from Molotovs and Napalm Strikes. On lethals, a Molotov or Frag Grenade shines for taking out campers hiding in buildings or narrow areas.
Perks-wise, equip Scavenger, Quick Fix, and Tracker. Scavenger lets you scrounge ammo, gear, plates, and cash off dead foes. Quick Fix speeds up armor swaps and kicks your health regen into gear faster. Tracker marks anyone you clip, pings whoever drops you, and lights up their steps after a hit.
