An update on March 24, 2023 brought some changes to the weapon meta in CoD: Warzone 2.
According to some YouTubers, one particular weapon is now better than ever. WhosImmortal names the Vel 46 the new number 1 among submachine guns (via YouTube). Thus, it has now even become a strong alternative to the previously established Lachmann MP.
The YouTuber and Warzone expert “P4wnyhof” (via YouTube) explains in his video why the Vel 46 is so good and provides a guide on how you can get the most out of the submachine gun.

CoD: Warzone 2: Vel 46 – Setup for hipfire and low recoil
The YouTuber presents the buffed Vel 46 as a strong alternative to the Lachmann MP. The weapon is especially suitable for people who like to fight at close range and fire from the hip.
This setup is recommended by the YouTuber in his video for the Vel 46:
- Muzzle: Tango 228 Barrel
- Underbarrel: OP-X9 Foregrip
- Magazine: 30 Round Mag
- Laser: VLK LZR 7MW or Point-G3P 04
- Grip: ZLR Combat Grip
You can find the English video with P4wnyhof’s assessment here:
The buffed Vel 46 can shine with the setup above with a range of 13 meters. Up to here, the SMG deals its full damage. In comparison, the Lachmann performs significantly worse at 8 meters.
The Vel is great for closer targets at a distance of 20 meters. The almost exclusively vertical recoil also allows for fights at medium distances, where other players have to pull out their assault rifles. A significant advantage in a fast-paced fight.
What does the setup for better hipfire look like? If you want to focus more on hipfire, the YouTuber recommends a 50 Round Magazine and a Point-G3P 04 Laser. The Tango 228 Barrel can be removed in this case.
Currently, the Vel 46 is considered one of the best options in close combat, with which you can achieve slightly more range than with the Lachmann MP – even if it performs a bit weaker in terms of time-to-kill.
