Call of Duty: Warzone has announced nerfs for its most popular weapons. The LMG Bren and the submachine gun MP40 will take a hit. MeinMMO presents you with suitable alternatives right now.
Are you currently diligently watching your kill cams in Call of Duty: Warzone? Currently, there are 2 main players:
- The LMG Bren for long-range kills
- The submachine gun MP40 in close combat
However, the developers have already announced that the airtime of the Caldera stars will be cut. Both are about to receive a nerf. So that you are not completely without a suitable role double, we will show you suitable alternatives.
For the Stable LMG Feel – Type 11 Setup
What can the Type 11 do? With the Bren, an LMG currently sits at the top of the food chain in Warzone. The gun is easy to control, deals a lot of damage, and offers decent mobility for an LMG.
If you are looking for a 1-to-1 replacement for the feel of the Bren, we recommend the Type 11 for the time after the nerf. There is a noticeable kickback on the first shots. However, the sustained fire afterwards feels very calm and pleasant. The MG42 is another stable LMG alternative.

The Assault Rifle Always Remains Cool – BAR Setup
What can the BAR do? If you want to switch back to assault rifles after a Bren nerf, we recommend the BAR.
The weapon is extremely stable and easy to control due to its low fire rate. However, this is also its biggest disadvantage – if you miss a bullet, the time-to-kill goes up significantly.
CoD Warzone: BAR Setup
- Muzzle: Recoil Booster
- Barrel: CGC 30″ XL
- Optic: G16 2.5x
- Stock: Cooper SP
- Underbarrel: m1941 Hand Stop
- Magazine: .50 BMG 40 Round Mag
- Ammunition: Lengthened
- Rear Grip: Polymer Grip

Your New Trusted SMG – Type 100 Setup
What can the Type 100 do? Currently, with the MP40, there is a very balanced SMG at the top with a large 45-round magazine. A nerf is likely to hit the weapon hard because it has several advantages over its competitors. Currently, nothing can compare.
However, with a nerf, the cards will be reshuffled, and the Type 100 has already secured a few trump cards. The SMG is very easy to control and also offers respectable damage. The magazine feels a bit small, also due to the high rate of fire. However, reloading is pleasantly quick.
CoD Warzone: Type 100 Setup
- Muzzle: F8 Stabilizer
- Barrel: Warubachi 134mm Rapid
- Optic: Monocular Reflector
- Stock: Warubachi Skeletal
- Underbarrel: m1941 Hand Stop
- Magazine: 8mm Nambu 30 Round Mag
- Ammunition: Incendiary
- Rear Grip: Stippled Grip
- Perk: Gung-ho
- Perk 2: Quick

The setups are recommended by YouTuber and Warzone expert “P4wnyhof” with small adjustments. If you want to see more information about the weapons and recoil gameplay of the setups, check out his English video (via YouTube).
After the integration of Vanguard and all the new weapons, the weapon meta is slowly calming down. Bren and MP40 are not overly OP, but still strong enough to push aside many other firearms.
It remains to be seen which direction the weapon compass will point after the next balance update. But with our 3 alternatives, you are well-equipped as soon as the nerf brings the two overpowering Bren and MP40 back to reality.
