Best HRM-9 build in Warzone Season three

  • Muzzle: Bruen Pendulum
  • Barrel: Thorn-90 Barrel
  • Magazine: 50 Round Drum
  • Stock: Hatchet Light Stock
  • Ammunition: 9mm High Grain Rounds

Since the HRM-9 is a weapon from Modern Warfare III, you cannot equip eight attachments using the Gunfighter Wildcard. So, you’re locked to a five-attachment SMG.

What makes this gun stand out is its insane rate of fire can take down opponents in an instant at close range. Imagine a scenario where two or more members of a squad are pushing you one by one, the HRM-9’s massive magazine size would be enough to take them down. It’s light to use and stable enough when you’re spraying down bullets.

What you can do instead is equip the Overkill Wildcard and carry a sniper rifle to increase the firepower of your loadout.

  • Sniper Rifle: HDR
    • Muzzle: Monolithic Suppressor
    • Barrel: Gain-Twist Barrel
    • Underbarrel: Lightweight Bipod
    • Rear Grip: Quickdraw Grip
    • Fire Mods: 108mm Overpressured
  • Tactical: Smoke Grenade
  • Lethal: Semtex
  • Perk 1: Survivor
  • Perk 2: Sprinter
  • Perk 3: Tempered

As usual, the combination of Semtex and Smoke Grenades is the best for BR. If you want to rock an eight-attachment sniper, you can check our guide for the best HDR loadout to use in Warzone in Verdansk.

HRM-9 loadout choices, explained

Starting off with the Bruen Pendulum, this muzzle significantly increases recoil control and gun kick control, helping it to control better during matches.

The Thorn-90 Barrel makes it easier to take down enemies from increased ranges. It improves Hipfire and Tac Stance Spread, ADS Speed, Sprint to Fire Speed, and Sprint Speed.

The 50-Round Drum will carry 50 bullets, which is crucial for Warzone as it can help take down an entire squad if used properly. What Hatchet Light Stock does to the SMG is it improves the HRM-9’s ADS, Aim Walking, and Movement Speeds.

Lastly, the 9mm High Grain Rounds will significantly increase the Damage Range and Bullet Velocity of the weapon.

This Warzone HRM-9 class is for run-and-gunners, designed to get into the face of your opponents. This is best for those who don’t like hanging back, and is very strong in close-quarters combat, especially in buildings.

If you want to give some BO6 SMGs a shot, try using our best PPSh-41 and Jackal PDW loadouts. These two weapons are great alternatives to the HRM-9 and support eight attachments, too.
