The Warzone 2 Season 3 update has added a new underbarrel Drill Charge launcher attachment, the SPW 40mm Drill, and it can be very powerful in the right hands.
However, unlocking it may take a while, and there are only a few weapons that can equip it.
Here’s how you can unlock the SPW 40mm Drill as well as the best weapon builds for this explosive attachment!

What Guns Can Have an Underbarrel Drill Charge?
There are three guns in Warzone 2 and Modern Warfare 2 that can have an underbarrel Drill Charge launcher. They are:
- Cronen Squall
- M13B
- M4
This is because these are the only weapons that can equip the SPW 40mm Drill underbarrel attachment.
How to Unlock SPW 40mm Drill Attachment For M4, M13B & Cronen Squall
To unlock the SPW 40mm Drill underbarrel attachment in Warzone 2 and MW2, you must reach level 26 with the Cronen Squall.
Once you have done this, you can equip it to the Cronen Squall, M13B, or M4.
Of course, before you can unlock the underbarrel Drill Charge launcher, you’ll need to know how to unlock the Cronen Squall in Warzone 2 and MW2!

Is The Underbarrel Drill Charge Meta?
The underbarrel Drill Charge is not quite meta, but it is a very powerful attachment in the hands of skilled players. A direct hit will down an enemy with three plates, and it can be very effective at flushing out enemies behind cover.
What’s more, the SPW 40mm Drill increases recoil stabilization, and you can easily replenish your underbarrel Drill Charges with a Munitions Box!
The best Warzone 2 weapon to use the underbarrel Drill Charge attachment with is the Cronen Squall, thanks to its insanely fast time-to-kill. However, the M13B and M4 with the SPW 40mm Drill are still good options.
