The Best Warzone 2 PDSW 528 Loadout | The Mobility King

Here is the best PDSW 528 build and loadout for Warzone 2. This is SMG has the best mobility stats in its class and great velocity, but it doesn't have the best TTK.

The P90 or PDSW 528, as it's called in Warzone 2, has some huge benefits compared to other SMGs:

  • A 50-round mag by default.
  • The fastest Sprint speed.
  • The fastest ADS-movement speed.
  • The best bullet velocity (and by quite a bit at 680 m/s).

But in exchange for all that, the P90 has the worst TTK, and is unable to kill 3-plated within less than 600ms, even at the shortest ranges. By comparison, the current meta SMG, the Lachmann sub, can knock 3-plated enemies within 525ms.

So with the PDSW, you're basically getting an SMG that's amazing in every way... but it's a pea-shooter. Still interested in the P90? You can find the best loadout for this weapon below, including attachments and tunings.

The PDSW 528 comes standard with 50-round magazines, which is great, so we can use all our attachment slots improving mobility and adding a touch of recoil control. If you hate the default iron sight (which we would understand, it's not one of the best) then drop the Comb first.

Warzone 2.0 PDSW 528: Secondary Weapon, Perks & Equipment

Secondary Weapon: ISO Hemlock

The PDSW 528 is viable in close combat, but not at longer distances (even with that great velocity). So we'll take the best long-range weapon in the game as a secondary weapon, the ISO Hemlock. This AR is godlike in Warzone 2 right now, especially Resurgence.

  • Here is a complete overview of the ISO Hemlock for you.

Perks (Basic, Bonus & Ultimate)

Again our standard choice:

Basic Perk

Overkill / Bomb Squad

Bonus PerkResupply
Ultimate Perk

High Alert

Yay, we can pick our own perks again. We need Overkill for both weapons, and Bomb Squad is going to be useful in almost every game you play. We've also chosen Resupply, so we can keep the Flash grenades coming, and High Alert, which is especially useful because footstep audio is so poor right now.

Equipment (Lethal & Tactical)

Our favorite combo:

Lethal

Semtex

Tactical

Flash

The radius of the flash in MWII is extremely large, and the blinding effect lasts for a very long time, making Flashbangs a pretty damn powerful type of grenade. Semtex is always viable and works equally well against vehicles and infantry - you can't go wrong.

That's all for the PDSW 528. If you're looking for something with more all-rounder potential, try one of the best assault rifles in Warzone 2.
