Best M1 Garand Loadout, Blueprint, Attachments for Call of Duty Warzone & Vanguard

On October 12th, 2021, Activision, Sledgehammer Games, and Raven Software caught the entire Warzone community off-guard with the release of 24 brand-new Tiers to the Season 6 Battle Pass. Since then, the M1 Garand has proven to be a popular Marksman Rifle in multiplayer thanks to its impressive damage range and levels of accuracy. With Season 1 in full swing, the rifle could well slot into the ever-changing metagame.

Alongside a range of new Calling Cards, XP Tokens, and cosmetic items, four weapon blueprints for the STG 44 and M1 Garand were added, enabling players to use the weapons from Vanguard in Warzone for the first time. In this guide, find the very best M1 Garand blueprint to use in your Warzone loadout along with the best M1 Garand loadout to use in Vanguard multiplayer.

Best M1 Garand Blueprint In Warzone

Out of the two available blueprints, Heirloom is the better blueprint to use in a match thanks to its immense power at medium and long ranges. In comparison to the White Obsidian M1 Garand blueprint, there's not a lot separating the two but it's the low recoil of the Heirloom that makes the difference in Verdansk and Rebirth Island.

Vanguard's weaponry contains ten attachment slots and despite the arrival of the STG and the M1 Garand, players are unable to customise them in the Gunsmith, meaning the Heirloom features a pre-determined combination of attachments for you to utilise. Here's a full list of attachments that feature on this particular M1 Garand blueprint:

• Muzzle: Mk. 2 Stabilizer
• Barrel: Cooper 25" Custom
• Optic: SVT-40 PU Scope 3-6x
• Underbarrel: Carver Foregrip
• Stock: Cooper Adjustable
• Magazine: Extended Mags
• Rear Grip: Grooved Reargrip
• Perk 1: Acquisition Perk 1

This combination of attachments provides increases in accuracy, range, and control, making it very easy to tackle any opposition at longer distances. While exact information on how each attachment impacts the M1 Garand hasn't been revealed, the visual recoil is one of the only flaws. It may look like the gun kicks a lot when being fired but the actual levels of recoil are very low.

Once the Heirloom has been selected, choosing the right combination of Perks can also make the difference over the course of a match. Here are the best Perks to use alongside the M1 Garand:

• Perk 1: Double Time
• Perk 2: Ghost
• Perk 3: Amped

Taking the slightly higher levels of mobility into account, moving around Verdansk and Rebirth Island as fast as possible is going to be a priority with the M1 Garand in hand. Double Time doubles the length of Tactical Sprint and increases movement speed while crouching, making it much faster to traverse the map and much easier to escape tricky situations. Ghost conceals your location from any enemy UAVs patrolling the skies and keeps you hidden from any Heartbeat Sensors being used to track your location.

The third and final Perk we've chosen is Amped. The ability to switch between primary and secondary weapons as fast as possible can often determine whether you're sent to the Gulag or end up outgunning the opposition, making it an integral part of this M1 Garand Warzone loadout.

How To Unlock Heirloom M1 Garand Warzone Blueprint
