With 30-plus guns added to Call of Duty: Warzone as part of its Pacific update, it can be tough to know which ones to focus on leveling for playtime in the Vanguard Royale mode.

The Cooper Carbine was added in both Vanguard and Warzone, joining both games as part of the season one and Pacific updates, and it’s been one of the best guns in the game ever since. It’s unlocked through the battle pass or an in-game challenge, and once it’s procured, it should be leveled up immediately.

It’s sort of a hybrid between an assault rifle and submachine gun, but it can be equipped with the right attachments to turn it into a truly solid option for AR players in their primary slot in Caldera. Alternatively, you can maximize its maneuverability and fire rate to turn it into a very strong SMG-like.

Here’s the best set of attachments to use for the Cooper Carbine in Warzone.

  • Muzzle: Mercury Silencer
  • Barrel: 22″ Cooper Custom
  • Optic: G16 2.5x
  • Stock: Cooper 45RS
  • Underbarrel: M1941 Hand Stop
  • Magazine: 9mm 60 Round Drums
  • Ammunition: Lengthened
  • Rear Grip: Polymer Grip
  • Perk: Tight Grip
  • Perk 2: On-Hand

The Cooper is a highly maneuverable gun, meaning your movement speed is strong to begin with. With that in mind, it’s OK to sacrifice some movement speed to help buff some of its weaker attributes.

With this set of 10 attachments, you can buff the Cooper’s accuracy, damage, range, and control, while only sacrificing some mobility—and it’s definitely worth it. But with this loadout, the Cooper can be used as its AR archetype.

  • Muzzle: Recoil Booster
  • Barrel: 14″ Gracey Rapid
  • Optic: Slate Reflector
  • Stock: Removed Stock
  • Underbarrel: M1941 Hand Stop
  • Magazine: 9mm 60 Round Drums
  • Ammunition: Compressed Rounds
  • Rear Grip: Fabric Grip
  • Perk: Tight Grip
  • Perk 2: Fully Loaded

Another potential usage for the Cooper is to run it with an LMG or a sniper rifle and use the Cooper with this submachine gun-like build. Its very high fire rate will shred through enemy armor up close, but it’s versatility is nice no matter what your playstyle may be.
