Top 5 Loadouts for the "Day 10" Meta

The “AK-27 Laser Beam” era is officially dead. With yesterday’s patch increasing AR flinch and buffing SMG range, you need to update your classes now or get left behind.

Here are the 5 best loadouts to run this weekend:

1. The New King: “Ryden 45K Extended”

Best for: Aggressive plays, Hardpoint, Domination The Ryden 45K was already good, but the 15% range buff makes it a monster. This build pushes that range even further, letting you challenge ARs in mid-range fights.

Weapon: Ryden 45K (SMG)
Muzzle: Compensator Z-Comp (Vertical Recoil Control)
Barrel: 12.5″ Reinforced (Damage Range + Bullet Velocity)
Underbarrel: Bruen Heavy Support (Firing Aim Stability)
Rear Grip: Tac-Tape (Sprint-to-Fire Speed)
Stock: No Stock (Movement Speed)
Why it works: The Reinforced Barrel stacks with the patch buff, giving you a 4-shot kill out to ~22 meters. The No Stock keeps you fast enough to break cameras.

2. The “Anti-Flinch” AK-27

Best for: Holding angles, Search & Destroy You can still use the AK-27, but you can’t be lazy with it anymore. This build specifically counters the new flinch nerf.

Weapon: AK-27 (Assault Rifle)
Perk 1: Toughness (Essential now—reduces flinch by 50%)
Rear Grip: Stippled Grip Tape (Flinch Resistance)
Stock: Weighted Stock (Aiming Stability)
Optic: Slate Reflector (Keep the visual recoil low)
Why it works: We’re sacrificing some ADS speed here to maximize Flinch Resistance. If you get shot first, this build ensures your reticle doesn’t bounce to the moon.

3. The “Speed Demon” Shotgun

Best for: The new “Eastwood” Map, enclosed spaces Since everyone is moving slightly slower (thanks to the crouch-speed nerf), closing the gap with a shotgun is easier than it was at launch.

Weapon: Hauer 88 (Pump Shotgun)
Muzzle: Choke (Tighter Pellet Spread)
Barrel: 18″ Task Force (Damage + Range)
Laser: 5mW Laser (Hipfire Accuracy)
Stock: Marathon Stock (Sprint to Fire)
Why it works: While AR players are stuck in mud trying to ADS, you are sprinting through doors. The 5mW Laser lets you fire without ever aiming down sights.

4. The “Flex” Marksman: DMR-10

Best for: Big Team Battle, Warzone Integration With ARs getting nerfed at range, the semi-auto DMRs are stepping up. The DMR-10 wasn’t touched in the patch, meaning it’s technically stronger by comparison now.

Weapon: DMR-10 (Marksman Rifle)
Optic: Axial Arms 3x
Underbarrel: Field Agent Foregrip (Recoil Control)
Muzzle: Agency Silencer (Stay off the minimap)
Why it works: Two-tap potential to the head. It out-guns the AK-27 at 40m+ now because it doesn’t suffer from the same flinch penalties.

5. The “Ghost” Flanker

Best for: Solo players, Free-for-All The ultimate stealth class for capitalizing on the chaos of the new update.

Weapon: MP-9 (Submachine Gun)
Muzzle: Sound Suppressor
Perk 1: Ghost (Undetectable by UAV)
Perk 2: Ninja (Silent Footsteps)
Equipment: Smoke Grenade
Why it works: The MP-9 has the fastest fire rate in the game. Combine it with Ninja, and you can sprint full speed behind enemy lines while they are distracted testing out the new map.
