While you can down enemies from afar by spamming shots with the SO-14, you’ll need a close-range weapon to use alongside it. Try out one of these meta SMG builds for Warzone 2!

Meta SO-14 Attachments in Warzone 2

The Lockshot KT85 is a perfect muzzle for the SO-14 as it greatly reduces both vertical and horizontal recoil. Alternatively, the Sakin Tread-40 has a very similar effect.

Next, the 22″ Boremaster is the best barrel as it increases the gun’s bullet velocity, damage range, and recoil control.

An optic is essential to be accurate with the SO-14. Our favorite is the AIM OP-V4, but go for whatever low-mid zoom optic you prefer.

The FTAC Ripper 56 is another vital attachment for this build because it greatly reduces your recoil and visual recoil, allowing you to stay on target much easier.

Finally, 50 Round Drum is the largest magazine for the SO-14. However, if you want slightly faster ADS time, the 25 Round Mag should be fine in smaller-squad game modes.
