The best Warzone 2 Chimera loadout remains a hot topic of conversation as players prepare to drop into Call of Duty's latest battle royale experience. The assault rifle (AR) is set to arrive as part of the mid-season content drop arriving in mid-December.
Armed with an integrated suppressor, the Chimera heavily resembles the Honey Badger from Call of Duty Ghosts and could feature in the early metagame. Although the integrated suppressor is great for a stealthy approach, it does influence damage output.

What is the best Warzone 2 Chimera loadout?
| Attachment | Name |
|---|---|
| Laser | VLK LZR 7mW |
| Optic | Cronen Mini Pro |
| Stock | Ravage-8 |
| Magazine | 45 Round Mag |
| Rear Grip | Bruen Flash Grip |
Although this build doesn't enhance damage or the rate of fire, it does improve the Chimera's range, accuracy, and handling levels which is great news if you utilise an aggressive style of play in Al Mazrah.
The mobility of the Chimera is already excellent but we've gone with a laser to drastically improve aim-down sight speed which makes all the difference when reaction times are the key to success.
Best Warzone 2 Chimera attachments
We already know the Chimera comes with a built-in suppressor but you can switch it out for another muzzle if you wish. However, we've found a build that utilises the suppressor to your advantage. Take a look at the full attachment list below:
- Laser: VLK LZR 7mW
- Optic: Cronen Mine Pro
- Stock: Ravage-8
- Magazine: 45 Round Mag
- Rear Grip: Bruen Flash Grip
With aggression in mind, this particular set of attachments focuses on fast reaction time and improvements to accuracy to ensure your shots hit the intended target every time. To improve aim-down sight speed, the VLK LZR 7mW comes into its own while the pairing of the Ravage-8 stock and the Bruen Flash Grip provides extra boosts to handling and accuracy.
Overall, the Chimera is extremely easy to use in Warzone 2 and in mid-range engagements, it's a viable option if you're wanting to run and gun the opposition.

The Chimera doesn't feature in the Season One battle pass meaning the unlock method for this particular AR is slightly different.
To obtain the AR, simply score 2 kills with an AR in 15 separate matches or purchase the store bundle containing the Chimera blueprint. Both don't take a lot of time to complete.

Is the Chimera good in Warzone 2?
After using the Chimera in Al Mazrah, it's a solid option if you want to rush around the map and get up close and personal with the opposition. Although it's an AR, it's more than capable of contending with some SMGs that are on offer. However, at longer distances, it's tricky to handle compared to more stable ARs in the category.
