Call of Duty: Warzone Season 5 Last Stand introduces familiar villains from the series as playable Operators as well as new guns into the battle royale title, one of which is the RA 225 SMG. As you can expect, a new arsenal means a new meta; simply continue reading below to learn all about the best RA 225 loadout. Although, to be honest, right now people are still experimenting with the RA 225 in COD: Warzone to find out what is the best loadout and class setup for it. Since you won’t see many variations, for now, I’ll list only two RA 225 loadouts that are already considered meta and can be easily modified as a template for your own setup.

1. Very Low TTK RA 225 Class in COD Warzone

The first best RA 225 loadout you should try comes from YouTuber EyeQw. Basically, this setup will maximize the gun’s fire rate, speed, and ammo capacity with a bit of balance between recoil and accuracy. You can see all the loadout from minute 2:25 to 2:37; afterward, he shows off his gameplay footage to let you see for yourself how devastating the SMG is.

Recommended Loadout:

  • Muzzle: Recoil Booster
  • Barrel: Moravec 18″ Needle
  • Optic: Slate Reflector
  • Stock: Moravec MB
  • Underbarrel: M1941 Hand Stop
  • Magazine: 9mm 55 Round Drums
  • Ammunition: Lengthened
  • Rear Grip: Taped Grip
  • Perk 1: Momentum
  • Perk 2: Quick

2. Optimal Close-range RA 225 in Warzone Season 5

And the second one is from YouTuber WhoisImmortal. At a glance, you might notice there’s barely any difference with the first Warzone loadout; but this RA 225 loadout is your best pick if you prefer having more control when doing sustained fire. The RA 225 breakdown starts at minute 6:18 in the video above.

  • Muzzle: Recoil Booster
  • Barrel:
  • Urban Rapid 11″ (faster TTK)
  • Moravec 18” Needle (better recoil)
  • Optic: Slate Reflector
  • Stock: Moravec MB
  • Underbarrel: M1915 Steady
  • Magazine:
  • 7.62 Gorenko 38 Round Mags (Solo)
  • 9mm 55 Round Drums (Team)
  • Ammunition: Anything you like
  • Rear Grip: Taped Grip
  • Perk 1: Tight Grip
  • Perk 2: Quick

The Best Perks and Equipment For RA 225 Warzone

  • Perk 1: Serpentine / Double Time
  • Perk 2: Overkill
  • Perk 3: Combat Scout
  • Equipment:
  • Tactical: Stims / Stun Grenades
  • Lethal: Semtex / Throwing Knives

Like most other SMG classes, you’d want to pair RA 225 with Serpentine or Double Time, Overkill, and Combat Scout. Since the gun isn’t particularly reliable in mid-to-long range engagement, you’d need to bring something like the old reliable STG44 and Kar98k or the “currently-meta” Grau as a backup.

  • Urban Rapid 11″ (faster TTK)

  • Moravec 18” Needle (better recoil)

  • 7.62 Gorenko 38 Round Mags (Solo)

  • 9mm 55 Round Drums (Team)

  • Tactical: Stims / Stun Grenades

  • Lethal: Semtex / Throwing Knives

Meanwhile, the Equipments are up to your preferences, honestly, but Semtex is extremely useful even if you aren’t confident with your aiming, and Stun Grenades are good for disorienting enemies if you always start any engagements first. Otherwise, bring Stims for increased survivability.
