Call of Duty: Warzone 2has arrived, reimagining theCall of DutyBattle Royale for 2022.Warzone 2retains many of the classic Battle Royale features, including shrinking circles, drivable vehicles, and random loot.
While almost all of the equipment andguns inCall of Duty: Warzone 2are found through looting, there is one way for players to get their favorite loadout ready-made. Allowing players to equip their best guns and gear can turn a desperate situation into victory, but getting hold of a personal loadout is neither easy, nor safe.

How to Get Loadouts in Warzone 2
Compared to the same system inCall of Duty: Warzone, there are fewer ways to get a full loadout inWarzone 2. The Shop, formerly known as Buy Stations, will no longer allow players to buy a full loadout for $10,000. However, they can pay $5,000 to get the primary weapon from one of their loadouts. These Shops are marked on theWarzone 2mini-mapas players get close, but can be dangerous areas to linger around.
If players want to get their full loadout instead of just the primary weapon, there are two methods they can use. The first is taking on one of thethree Strongholds scattered across the map, indicated with a castle icon and decorated with orange flags. These Strongholds are defended by AI soldiers, and will often be contested by other players as well. Any team or solo that defuses the bomb in a Stronghold and clears it out will be able to recover a full loadout.
The second way to get a full loadout ofequipment inCall of Duty: Warzone 2is to wait until the Loadout Drops public event triggers. This event will generally spawn around the closing of the sixth or seventh circles, and drop a line of Loadout Drop crates across the map. Players can interact with these crates to claim their full loadout, though approaching them can be extremely dangerous as other players will certainly be trying to do the same.
How to Customize Loadouts in Warzone 2
Players can design ten custom loadouts, combiningWarzone 2’s primary weapons, secondary weapons, gear, and perks. Primary weapons and Handguns can be further customized in theCall of DutyGunsmithto change their functionality and attachments, while Launchers can only be altered cosmetically. Players will unlock new Lethal and Tactical gear as they gain levels, and new Gunsmith options when they gain XP with a specific weapon.
When it comes to Perks,Warzone 2playerscan no longer fully-customize their builds. Instead, they can assign one of eight Perk sets to each of their custom loadouts. These sets represent core playstyles, from the swift and silent Specter, to the versatile Commando. With ten custom slots to fill, players can create loadouts to give them exactly the weapons, gear, and perks they need when they reach a Loadout Drop.
Call of Duty: Warzone 2is available now for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
