The Swordfish A1 joins Warzone as a burst-fire marksman rifle, returning from its earlier appearance in Black Ops 4. You unlock it through the Counter Skies event, and it stands out for its four-round burst and strong inherent accuracy within its class.
That precision gives you solid mid- to long-range control, but you need the right attachments to get consistent value in live matches. A focused build helps you stabilize recoil, extend effective range, and keep your bursts tight so you can compete across all Warzone modes.
Best Loadout for the Swordfish A1 in Warzone
Burst rifles often struggle in Warzone, but you can tune the Swordfish A1 into a reliable long-range weapon. It offers strong base accuracy, solid damage per burst, and a generous default magazine that supports sustained pressure.
Use this setup:
- Optic: Greaves AccuSpot 3x Scope
- Muzzle: Monolithic Suppressor
- Barrel: 16.5″ GAR-XL Barrel
- Stock: Amber-J Stock
- Fire Mod: MFS Penta Burst Mod
- Build Code: M05-QMCXN-KVKF7-1
The MFS Penta Burst Mod converts the rifle into a five-round burst configuration. You increase damage output and raise the effective fire rate, which improves your time-to-kill at range. The tradeoff comes in the form of heavier recoil and reduced mobility.
The Monolithic Suppressor keeps your shots off the minimap and improves bullet velocity, which helps you land bursts at distance. Pair it with the 16.5″ GAR-XL Barrel to further tighten recoil control and extend effective range.
The Amber-J Stock stabilizes the weapon during sustained engagements. It offsets some of the added recoil from the fire mod and keeps your bursts centered on target.
The Greaves AccuSpot 3x Scope gives you clean magnification without excessive zoom. You maintain clarity for mid-to-long-range fights while keeping visual recoil manageable.
This configuration prioritizes precision and range. You sacrifice close-quarters mobility, but you gain consistent burst damage suited for open fights and rooftop engagements.
