The Marco 5 was an SMG introduced into Warzone & Vanguard at the start of Season 4. It's highly mobile, it has a decent damage output, and it's fairly controllable. Here's the loadout the best Warzone attachment setup for the Marco 5.
The Marco 5 continues the Warzone tradition of all new SMGs being broken. It will get nerfed eventually, but right now? The Marco spanks on Rebirth and Fortune's Keep. Now, you've probably already heard of this weapon having access to Akimbo, but the most effective way to use it is without this attachment. You'll see for yourself. Here's the best build and loadout for the Marco 5.
The Best Marco 5 Attachment Setup
| Component | Attachment |
| Muzzle | Recoil Booster |
| Barrel | Perfetto Lesto 355mm |
| Optic | Slate Reflector |
| Stock | Imerito FR |
| Underbarrel | M1930 Stife Angled |
| Magazine | Nambu 64 Round Drums |
| Ammunition | Subsonic |
| Rear Grip | Taped Grip |
| Perk | Frenzy |
| Perk 2 | Quick |
This gun is still insanely fast, has great TTK values and after the H4 nerfs, this is the new SMG meta. It just has all the good qualities of a meta SMG, and you just can't go wrong with it. The recoil is also very manageable thanks to the barrel and underbarrel. We opted for frenzy, since quick fix is a great perk, and we thought, great why not save a perk slot and just use frenzy instead. It's especially good for all the player that play Rebirth or Fortune's Keep.
The Best Secondary, Grenades & Perks For A Marco 5 Loadout
The Best Secondary Weapon For The Marco 5
The NZ-41 wasn't nerfed in the Season 4 patch. Let's just clarify that again because most of you simply won't believe us: the NZ-41 was not nerfed. Instead, they buffed it. They actually did that. Which is probably the most bizarre and inexplicable balance change we've seen since they nerfed the Draganov. So yeah, there really is no other option for long-range if you play the meta.

The Best Equipment For The Marco 5
| Lethal | Throwing Knives |
| Tactical | Snapshot Grenades |
This is a very fast SMG, and you're probably going to be using it on Rebirth or the new Fortune's Keep map, so we suggest going super aggressive on the equipment. Throwing Knives can finish off downed players, and Snapshot Grenades (despite the recent nerf) are worth taking in these dense urban areas.
The Best Perks For The Marco 5
| Perk 1 | Double Time |
| Perk 2 | Overkill / into Restock |
Perk 3 | Tracker |
With our perk choices, we're focusing on making the most out of our SMG. So, we'll take Tracker and Double Time to help finesse other squads in CQC. Overkill is simple a requirement to take the long-range AR, but we'll eventually take Restock, so we can make sure we've always got Snapshots ready to go.
That was your guide to the new Marco 5 SMG, we hope you found it useful. If something about this SMG just isn't working for you, perhaps try the similarly strong H4 Blixen? There's a fantastic Blixen in the Battle Pass this season if you don't have it unlocked.
