If you need an SMG to use in Warzone, look no further than the LC10.
In Season 4, Treyarch introduced the LC10 as a new weapon. The SMG previously appeared in Black Ops Cold War and is known for its well-rounded damage range and accuracy. The fire rate and mobility hold the gun back from shining in multiplayer, but the LC10’s characteristics are perfect for the longer-range gunfights of Warzone.
And even though the C9 and KSV received buffs in Season 4, the LC10 still stands out as a better option.

- Barrel: Long Barrel
- Stock: Ranger Foregrip
- Rear Grip: Extended Mag
- Stock: Balanced Stock
The LC10 is the best SMG in Warzone because it has low recoil, is easy to control, and has the fastest time-to-kill speed compared to other meta options. According to TrueGameData, the LC10 boasts a 525-millisecond TTK up to around 12 meters.
In comparison, the next fastest is the Ladra at 560 ms. TTK isn’t the only determining factor of what makes a weapon so dominant, but the excellent accuracy, range, and pure damage output separate the LC10 from the rest of the pack.
This loadout maximizes the SMGs’ strengths while also adding more mobility capabilities. You can use a larger extended magazine, but 45 bullets should be more than enough to get the job done.
Best LC10 Secondary Weapon Meta Weapon in Warzone Verdansk
After getting buffed in Season 4, the Krig C is the best long-range weapon in Warzone. The hard-hitting AR had its bullet velocity improved from 820 meters per second to 870 meters per second. As a result, the Krig C has one of the fastest time-to-kill speeds in the battle royale and outguns other meta options.
This, of course, includes the CR-56 AMAX, which previously held the top spot. However, a nerf in Season 4 knocked the AR down a peg.
Best Perks For LC10 Meta Loadout in Warzone Verdansk
Scavenger, Tracker, and Alertness are the best trio of Perks to use in Warzone.
- Perk 1: Scavenger (Start equipped with maximum reserve ammo for your primary weapon. Resupply ammo equipment and plates from dead enemies)
- Perk 2: Tracker (See enemy footsteps. Bullets you fire briefly outline an enemy for you and your squad)
- Perk 3: Alertness (Sense enemies when enemies are nearby. Tell when you are being aimed at by the enemy)
Armor plates aren’t always easy to find on Verdansk, so Scavenger ensures that you always have armor to replenish. Tracker was banned in Ranked Play, but that doesn’t stop you from using the Perk in normal lobbies and tracking where enemies go.
Even if you always have your head on a swivel while running around, there is always a chance that CoD timing gets the best of you, and an enemy catches you off guard. With that in mind, Alertness gives you a visual cue to know that someone is looking at you.
Best LC10 Wildcard in Warzone Verdansk Meta Loadout
Overkill is the best Wildcard to use for the LC10 and every weapon in Warzone. You can’t purchase primary weapons from the Buy Station, meaning you can only get loadout weapons through Loadout Drops.
Previously, players would use Gunfighter as their Wildcard to get three extra attachments on their primary weapon. Then, they would go to a Buy Station and buy a secondary primary gun to complete the loadout, without having to make any sacrifices.
How to Unlock LC10 in Warzone
The LC10 SMG can be unlocked in Black Ops 6 and Warzone as a free Battle Pass reward. It is the HVT item on Page 3, meaning you need to unlock everything else on that Page before getting your hands on the weapon.
If you don’t purchase the Battle Pass, you aren’t able to choose which Page to progress, but it still shouldn’t take too long to unlock the weapon, regardless, as it is early in the Battle Pass.
