If you're looking for one of the easiest-to-use long range options, then look no further. This is the current BAR meta attachment setup and loadout.
The BAR was buffed in the Warzone Season 3 Reloaded update, and now it's probably only second to the STG. It's got great range and good damage for an AR, but most importantly it has almost zero horizontal recoil with the right attachment setup. This makes landing follow-up shots laughably easy. So let's get into the current attachment setup meta, and the best loadout for a BAR in Warzone.
Note: This loadout is for Warzone, if you're looking for the best BAR setup in standard multiplayer, then you're looking for this loadout guide.
The Best BAR Setup
| Component | Attachment |
| Muzzle | MX Silencer |
| Barrel | CGC 30" XL |
| Optic | SVT-40 PU Scope 3-6x |
| Stock | Chariot WR |
| Underbarrel | Carver Foregrip |
| Magazine | 8mm Klauser 40 Round Mags |
| Ammo Type | Lengthened |
| Rear Grip | Rubber Grip |
| Perk 1 | Hardscope |
| Perk 2 | Fully Loaded |
If you bought Vanguard's Season 1 Battle Pass, then you'll already have a blueprint that gets a majority of these attachments. If not, you'll have to grind a bit as usual. But the BAR isn't a bad gun at base, so this is never tortuous or long to level-up. In terms of the build, we're focusing on making this as low-recoil as possible. We also want to buff range, and so we can sacrifice some mobility. Overall, this gives us a very strong long-range assault rifle.
The Best Secondary, Grenades & Perks for a BAR Loadout
The Best Secondary Weapon for the BAR
The BAR is a great long-range option, but it's just too sluggish to win gunfights in anything from the 25 m and in range. We're therefore taking this with Overkill and an MP-40 on backup.
The MP40 is basically the go-to close-range support weapon right now; it's the MP5 of Vanguard. This setup drops the Gorenko 45 round mags for 64 round drums, but if you prefer being lighter on your feet, and you can take advantage of fast movement, then swap back to Gorenko ammo. Similarly, you might want to drop the VDD 34M Padded for something with less recoil control but greater mobility, but we've taken it because this is a build for all skill-levels. Here we have a complete MP-40 setup and loadout guide for you.
The Best Equipment for the BAR
| Lethal | Frag |
| Tactical | Flash |
Nothing too exciting here, but we want our builds to be playable in BR and Vanguard Royale, so we have quite a restricted array of equipment to choose from. Most people will find these two options the easiest, and least complicated to use.
The Best Perks for the BAR
| Perk 1 | Cold-Blooded |
| Perk 2 | Overkill |
Perk 3 | Combat Recon |
We mentioned why we're taking Overkill previously, because the BAR is not versatile enough to be a main weapon in a ghosty class. Besides Overkill, we've gone for Combat Recon because it's so great on Caldera right now, and Cold-Blooded to counter others using the popular Combat Recon perk.
If you've tried the BAR, but you want something that's just a bit more versatile and mobile, then maybe you're looking for Warzone's best all-rounder - the STG44.
