Because there are so few great long-ranged options the semi-auto marksman rifle EBR-14 is actually viable. Unlike Warzone 1 it's really pretty decent these days. Here's the best attachment setup for the EBR-14.
The EBR-14 is one of the weapons that was also in Warzone 1, although unlike the version from Warzone 1, the current EBR-14 is viable. More than viable, in fact, it's actually pretty good.
Because there are no really dominant long-range options, using a semi-auto as strong as the EBR is now good enough to keep up with the meta. You can find the best attachment setup for the EBR-14 in Warzone 2 below.
- The EBR-14 is probably just a single-tier below the very best weapons in Warzone 2.
The Best Attachment Setup For The EBR-14 In Warzone 2
Slot | Attachment | Unlock Requirements | Attachment Tuning |
Muzzle | ZLR Talon 5 | TAQ-56 to Level 20 → TAQ-M to Level 22 | Recoil Smoothness (+1.00 oz) / Bullet Velocity (+0.70 in) |
Barrel | 22" Boremaster | EBR-14 to Level 14 | Recoil Steadiness (+0.40 lb)) / Damage Range (+0.25 in) |
Optic | Luca Bandera Scope | Lockwood Mk2 to Level 7 | Default |
Stock | FTAC Valor Stock | EBR-14 to Level 2 | Aim Down Sight Speed (-2.60 oz) / Aiming Idle Stability (+1.85 in) |
Magazine | 20 Round Mag | Kastov 762 to Level 20 | Default |
Getting that second shot on target is really critical, so we're focusing on recoil control more than usually might with a marksman rifle. Although, with the Valor Stock, we've tuned it towards ADS to gain back a little more handling.
Lots of optics will work well with the EBR, but you really want a 3x at the minimum. We think the Luca Bandera is one of the best mid to long-range options right now as it offers variable zoom between two great magnification strengths: 3x and 7x.
- The quickest way to unlock all these attachments is in Modern Warfare 2.
The Best Loadout For The EBR-14: Secondary, Perks & Equipment
Secondary: Kastov-74u
As a marksman rifle spec'd for range, we obviously can't use the EBR-14 as a main. So we'll take the Kastov-74u as a support weapon for when we're looting, travelling, and pushing into aggressive situations.
If you don't love the Kastov-74u, we can also highly recommend the STB-556 as a great short-range AR.

Perks (Base, Bonus & Ultimate)
We've said it before, and we'll say it again, this is the best Perk Package:
Perk Package | Specter Package |
Base Perk | Double Time / Tracker |
Bonus Perk | Spotter |
Ultimate Perk | Ghost |
We need Ghost because it's so strong in the current meta, and so we only really have a choice between two Packages. We think this is the better of the two packages with Ghost because Double Time and Tracker are both useful, even if Spotter is a bit trash.
Equipment (Lethal & Tactical)
These are our favorite grenades to use with the EBR-14:
Lethal | Drill Charges |
Tactical | Flash Grenades |
There are dozens of good options for equipment, and you should choose what you're comfortable with. That said, we think the Drill Charge is a ton of fun, and we think a lot of players will enjoy using it to draw out campers. We've taken Flash Grenades because they feel honestly broken right now, so use them before they get nerfed!
