The HCR 56 has become one of the fastest-killing long-range guns in Warzone after the Season 4 update, and this loadout for it makes it laser accurate:

FTAC Castle Comp (Muzzle) | +0.52 ↑ +0.24 → | 556 Icarus Level 10 |
FTAC Hornet 20″ Barrel (Barrel) | +0.18 ↑ -0.16 ← | Kastov 545 Level 5 |

Meta HCR 56 Attachments in Warzone 2
The FTAC Castle Comp is one of a number of great recoil-reducing muzzles for the HCR 56. Other great muzzles include Sakin Tread-40 and the FJX Fulcrum Pro.
Next, the FTAC Hornet 20″ Barrel is the only barrel worth using with the HCR 56. It reduces recoil by 10% and increases your bullet velocity too!
We have opted for the VLK LZR 7MW to speed up the ADS time of the gun by 10%. However, if you prefer accuracy over speed, we suggest using the FTAC Ripper underbarrel instead.
The HCR 56 has some visual kick, so high-zoom optics are not best suited for it. That’s why we’ve gone for the AIM OP-V4, but you can use whichever optic you like the most.
Finally, the 5.56 High Velocity ammunition is a must-have as it increases your bullet velocity by a whopping 40%!
