Ever since their debut, the Cooper Carbine and Automaton have been the two Assault Rifles that sit on the top of the battle royale meta. Automaton’s time-to-kill isn’t the fastest among other Assault Rifles, but it definitely is one of the easiest guns to control. Right now, let’s take a look at the three best Automaton builds that you can try using for your COD Warzone Pacific loadout. Just remember that these builds are not made for hip-firing.
1. Steady Shot Automaton
- Muzzle: Mercury Silencer
- Barrel: ZAC 600mm BFA
- Optic: G16 2.5x
- Stock: Anastasia Padded
- Underbarrel: Carver Foregrip
- Magazine: 6.5mm Sakura 75 Round Drum
- Ammunition: Lengthened
- Rear Grip: Pine Tar Grip
- Perk: Frenzy
- Perk 2: Fully Loaded
The ZAC 600mm BFA barrel, Anastasia Padded stock, Carver Foregrip, and Pine Tar Grip are all utilized to increase your accuracy by steadying the weapon. The Mercury Silencer will not only suppress your fire but will also improve your accuracy. The 6.5mm Sakura 75 Round Drum is required to expand the magazine and quickly dispatch targets, while Fully Loaded will provide you with maximum ammunition at the start. To improve bullet velocity, use Lengthened Ammunition. As the Frenzy Perk boosts health regen with each kill, you can play a bit more recklessly when running around on Caldera. This loadout is often attributed to the streamer JGOD, which you can listen to his detailed explanation regarding the build starting at the 8:40 mark.
2. Sustained Fire Automaton
- Muzzle: MX Silencer
- Barrel: ZAC Skeletal
- Stock: Anastasia Sniper
- Optic: G16 2.5k
- Underbarrel:Â M1941 Hand Stop
- Magazine: 6.5mm Sakura 75 Round Drum
- Ammunition: Lengthened
- Rear Grip: Polymer Grip
- Perk: Tight Grip
- Perk 2: Fully Loaded
Polymer Grip, like other Assault Rifles, provides flinch resistance, recoil stability, and accuracy during sustained fire. When used in conjunction with the ZAC Skeletal, this improves recoil control and adds additional support when you’re strafe-aiming. Go with M1941 Hand Stop for further recoil management buffs. As usual, the 6.5mm Sakura 75 Round Drum is always worth it and Lengthened Ammunition is a must.
Sound suppression and increased accuracy boosts, as well as a faster aim down sights speed, are all available when you equip the MX Silencer. The Anastasia Sniper boosts Automaton’s bullet velocity, total range, and accuracy. By equipping the G16 2.5x, you can gain improved accuracy and recoil control at the expense of aim-down sight speed. Fully Loaded is a good choice for Perks since it goes nicely with .55 Sakura 75 Round Drums. Tight Grip, on the other hand, improves your accuracy and recoil control during sustained fire.
3. Zero Recoil Automaton
- Muzzle: G28 Compensator
- Barrel: ZAC 600mm BFA
- Optic: G16 2.5x
- Stock: ZAC Skeletal
- Underbarrel: Carver Foregrip
- Magazine: 6.5mm Sakura 45 Round Mag
- Ammunition: Lengthened
- Rear Grip: Polymer Grip
- Perk: Spotter
- Perk 2: Fully Loaded
Lastly, you can also take inspiration from the popular streamer’s build. DrDisrespect himself claimed that this Automaton has “zero recoil”, which means it is the best build when you often engage enemies from a distance in COD Warzone Pacific. You can watch it in action in the video above, starting at the 8:26 mark.
