The Season 2 Reloaded update for Vanguard brings a brand-new submachine gun (SMG) into the ever-expanding arsenal of weaponry. The Armaguerra 43 features a fast rate of fire alongside impressive levels of mobility that require minimal adjustment for close-quarters combat.
While the rate of fire is capable of shredding through opponents with ease, the high levels of recoil makes the Armaguerra 43 difficult to control at longer distances. Thankfully, the Gunsmith provides a variety of attachments to tame the recoil and improve the SMG's performance in mid-range situations.
Choosing the right set of attachments is a tricky task but we can draw on experiences with other SMGs to find the strongest combination for the Armaguerra 43. In this guide, find the best Armaguerra 43 Vanguard loadout and the best Armaguerra 43 attachments to equip in this guide.
