The TAQ-M is one of the best Marksman Rifles in the game. It has high damage and can pierce enemy armor quite easily. This guide will take a look at the best class loadout for the TAQ-M in Warzone 2.0.
A Marksman Rifle requires you to be accurate and track enemies properly in Warzone 2.0. Ensuring that you lock onto your enemies first is important before taking your first shot. The best part is that with this class loadout, 2 headshots will guarantee a kill.
We will use TCaptainX‘s TAQ-M loadout as a reference for this guide. It has all the ideal attachments we need for a battle rifle of this caliber. Let us take a look at the loadout.
The Best TAQ-M Class Loadout in Warzone 2.0
Attachments
- Barrel: LR1:7 20.5″ Barrel
- Ammunition: 6.5mm High Velocity
- Underbarrel: FTAC Ripper 56
- Optic: VLK 4.0 Optic
- Muzzle: Polarfire-S
We start with one of the best attachments for this gun. The LR1:7 20.5″ Barrel provides the weapon with an increase in hip-fire accuracy, damage range, and bullet velocity. This makes it more useful for longer ranges.
Pair this up with the 6.5mm High Velocity rounds to further increase the bullet velocity allowing you to pierce armor quicker hence increasing TTK. The only con about this weapon is that it decreases the effective damage range of the weapon.
Next is the FTAC Ripper 56, one of the most used under barrel attachments in the game. It increases the mobility of the weapon by giving us stat bonuses for hip-fire accuracy, recoil stabilization, and aiming idle stability.
Next is the Schlager 4.0x Optic. Warzone 2.0 has huge maps, you will need a good Optic with enough magnification on this weapon to effectively lock onto enemies and kill them. The final attachment is going to be the Polarfire-S.
It is one of the most beneficial attachments you can use on a battle rifle. This attachment increases the damage range, recoil smoothness, and bullet velocity of the weapon in addition to providing sound suppression.
What are the Advantages of Using this Loadout

This loadout fully unleashes the capability of the TAQ-M Marksman Rifle in the game. With the increased bullet velocity, damage range, and recoil stability, you will be accurate and deadly. Pair that up with the magnification of the Optic and you will be cruising through long-range fights.
You can replace the high-velocity rounds with a 20-Round Mag if you want but we recommend going with the high-velocity rounds as this build is solely meant for long-range engagements. You can pair this weapon up with an SMG to ensure your win in close-range fights should they occur frequently.
Otherwise, you can customize the rest of the loadouts according to your preference. Equip the perks and equipment you see fit and are comfortable with.
