Warzone Season 5 adds the Static-HV to the ever-growing lineup of weapons, a new SMG looking to dominate close-range fights and take over the meta.
While the other arrival, the STG44, will be familiar to CoD veterans, the Static is a brand-new gun that’s never been seen before. It’s a fast-firing Submachine Gun with impressive ammo capacity, which could see it become the go-to Sniper support going forward.
Here’s the best Static-HV loadout in Warzone, so you know exactly which attachments, Perks, and Equipment you’ll need.
Best Warzone Static-HV loadout attachments
- Muzzle: Zehmn36 Compensated Flash Hider
- Barrel: Garrote-8 Long Barrel
- Underbarrel: DR-6 Handstop
- Laser: Kimura RYL33 Laser Light
- Stock: Spry 34 Light Stock
The Static-HV is a unique SMG option in Warzone with a surprisingly fast TTK at mid-range too, so our best loadout plays to its strengths and makes it more viable away from just close-quarters fights.
To kick things off, the Zehmn36 Compensated Flash Hider offers plenty of recoil control, while also helping you stay hidden on the radar. This Muzzle does come at the cost of some bullet velocity, so the Garrote-8 Long Barrel makes up this and buffs the damage range.
Then, the DR-6 Handstop and Kimura RYL33 Laser Light combine to drastically buff the SMG’s ADS and sprint-to-fire speeds. This makes sure that you always land the first shot, which is crucial in close-range fights.
Finally, the Spry 34 Light Stock comes with a ton of extra mobility, without sacrificing too much recoil and range. After testing out this build in-game, I found that it struck the perfect balance between being fast and deadly at close range, but still holding its own at a distance.
The only real drawback is the iron sights, which can be tough to use if your target is further away. With this in mind, you could also swap the Stock for your Optic of choice.

Best Perks and Equipment for Static-HV
- Perk 1: Double Time
- Perk 2: Sleight of Hand
- Perk 3: Tempered
- Perk 4: High Alert
- Lethal Equipment: Semtex
- Tactical Equipment: Smoke Grenade
To complete the best Static-HV loadout, your Perks must be on point. We recommend starting with Double Time, to improve the duration of your sprint and make you more mobile.
Although the SMG has a 50-round mag as standard, it can still burn through ammo in no time, so Slight of Hand will let you reload faster. Then, Tempered reduces the number of plates needed for maximum armor from three to two, saving you valuable time in heated gunfights.
Finally, High Alert drops a useful marker on your screen whenever an enemy looks at you, buying you a second to react and avoid the shots.
Equipment-wise, you can’t go wrong with Semtex for quickly downing a rival player, and Smoke Grenades offer much-needed cover if you find yourself out in the open.
How to unlock Static-HV in Warzone
To unlock the Static-HV, you need to complete Sector 6 of the Warzone Season 5 Battle Pass. Luckily, the SMG is one of the many free rewards up for grabs, so you can claim it even if you don’t purchase the Battle Pass.
If you take the quickest route, you’ll need a total of 20 Tokens to get the new weapon, as you must first unlock all five rewards in Sectors 1, 3, and 5 before moving on to 6.
Best alternatives
If you’re looking to move away from the Static-HV, the Superi 46 is still a top-tier SMG despite its nerf in Season 5. There’s also the Striker 9, which has one of the most devastating fire rates in the entire category.
Now that you’re all set with the best loadout for the new SMG, make sure you’re also running the best controller and audio settings, or mouse and keyboard if you’re on PC.
