Discover the best M1928 class in Call Of Duty: Vanguard
Want to know the best M1928 loadout in Call Of Duty Vanguard?The M1928 has dominated in the Vanguard meta since launch, and we expect that to continue into Season 2. With reasonably high damage, low recoil and fast handling speeds, the M1928 is a brilliantSMGfor any close-range situation. With our M1928 loadout, we make its damage, range, bullet velocity and sprint-to-fire speed even better, making it the perfect weapon to use when running-and-gunning around corners.
Call Of Duty: VanguardSeason 2 is set to launch at the start of February, but we expect frequent balance patches in the meantime. If any changes impact the M1928 and this loadout, we’ll update this guide to let you know. Make sure to check back when Season 2 launches to see if our M1928 loadout has changed in the new meta.
Best M1928 class in Vanguard Season 1
The base M1928 has a high fire rate and ammo count, making it a fast SMG without any attachments. However, if you equip the 8mm Kurz 50 Round Drums with the Hollow Point ammo type and Chariot 5.5" barrel, you can drastically increase the M1928s time-to-kill with limb shots, making it perfect for running-and-gunning in Vanguard multiplayer. You can see our full M1928 setup below:
As mentioned above, the most important attachments in this loadout are theChariot 5.5" barrel,8mm Kurz 50 Round Drums, and theHollow Pointammo type. These all increase damage, with the barrel and ammo type specifically increasing limb damage. This improves the M1928s TTK massively at close range, making it possible to kill enemies in just 3 bullets. It’s worth noting that you get no damage bonus from headshots with this loadout, so you can just spray at enemies without worrying about aiming for the head.
Since the 8mm Kurz Drums lower the fire rate, we’ve used theRecoil Boostermuzzle to balance it out. The fire rate is still slightly lower than normal, but the little bump from the Recoil Booster should help you get some more rapid kills. This does lower the M1928s accuracy, but theStippled GripandCarver Foregripbalance that out by improving the recoil recovery and control.
Since you’ll be running around and shooting enemies up close, use theSlate Reflector, which is a useful short-range optic. You should also take theCGC S Adjustablestock, which slightly improves sprint-to-fire and movement speed, so you can move a bit quicker when roaming the map. TheFleetproficiency andQuickkit also improve movement speed, making it easier to rotate around the map and net some easy kills at the enemy spawn.
As mentioned above, the M1928 is excellent in short-range encounters. While it also holds up well at medium-range, you’ll notice a significant damage drop off if trying to kill enemies in the distance. With this in mind, we recommend using a secondary weapon that is capable at long-range.Sniper Rifles, such as theKar98kand3-Line Rifle, are very strong and will crack skulls across the map with ease. If you want something a bit snappier, try aMarksman Rifle, as they blend power and speed while remaining effective from a distance. TheBARis also a powerful medium-long range weapon, perfect for those who prefer automatic guns.
