The Gremlin is the kind of Warzone weapon that rewards players who refuse to give opponents comfortable fights. Rather than building it into something it was never meant to be, this setup leans into fast, aggressive engagements while adding enough control and ammunition to keep the weapon useful when a fight lasts longer than expected. With the right positioning, the Gremlin can be particularly dangerous around buildings, staircases, rooftops and other areas where enemies rarely have enough space to fully exploit a long-range primary.
What makes this configuration interesting is the balance between mobility and consistency. The 9" MFS Cestus Barrel keeps the weapon focused on shorter engagements, while the Hawker Hybrid .45, Convergence Box Laser and Votary Stock help make aggressive movement easier to translate into accurate shots. The Procural Extended Mag completes the package by giving the Gremlin a healthier ammunition reserve for situations where one target quickly turns into two or three. It is a build aimed at players who like controlling the pace rather than waiting for enemies to dictate the engagement.
This Gremlin setup is designed around close-range pressure, responsive handling and sustained fighting ability. It does not try to turn the weapon into a long-range laser. Instead, every attachment contributes to making the Gremlin more dependable when fights become fast and messy.
| Attachment Slot | Selected Attachment |
|---|---|
| Barrel | 9" MFS Cestus Barrel |
| Muzzle | Hawker Hybrid .45 |
| Laser | Convergence Box Laser |
| Magazine | Procural Extended Mag |
| Stock | Votary Stock |
The 9" MFS Cestus Barrel establishes the identity of the build immediately. A compact barrel naturally fits a weapon intended to move quickly through confined spaces, helping preserve the responsive feel needed when clearing rooms or snapping between nearby targets. Pairing it with the Votary Stock keeps the Gremlin from becoming cumbersome, so changing direction, entering ADS and reacting after a sprint remain central to the loadout.
The Hawker Hybrid .45 adds another layer of control to that aggressive foundation. Fast builds are only useful if the weapon remains predictable once the trigger is held, and this muzzle choice helps keep the Gremlin manageable during extended bursts. That becomes particularly valuable when an enemy begins strafing behind cover or when the first few bullets do not finish the elimination and the engagement stretches slightly beyond ideal SMG-style distance.
There is also a strong handling component created by the Convergence Box Laser. On a build meant to challenge corners and quickly respond to targets appearing inside buildings, faster and steadier aiming behavior matters considerably more than squeezing out theoretical performance at distances where the Gremlin should rarely be fighting anyway. The laser complements the short barrel and stock by supporting the weapon during rapid transitions between movement and firing.
Then there is the Procural Extended Mag, arguably the attachment that makes the setup far more forgiving in real Warzone situations. A small magazine can turn an aggressive push into a forced reload at exactly the wrong moment. Extra ammunition allows you to stay in the fight after cracking one opponent, immediately transfer onto a teammate, or fire a few additional rounds through doorways without feeling that every missed bullet has ruined the engagement. The result is a Gremlin that remains mobile without demanding perfect ammunition discipline every second.
I would build my fights around doors, stairwells and pieces of hard cover rather than trying to prove the Gremlin can compete everywhere. Imagine a squad holding the upper floor of a building: instead of standing outside trading shots through windows, I would use another weapon to create pressure, close the distance, then bring out the Gremlin before entering. Once the fight is happening across a room rather than across a street, this setup becomes far more threatening.
One habit I would avoid is chasing every cracked enemy automatically. The Gremlin gives you enough mobility to make chasing tempting, but that does not mean following someone across twenty metres of exposed ground is a good decision. If an opponent breaks line of sight and runs toward teammates, I would rather reset behind cover, reload if necessary and find another angle than turn a winning damage trade into a bad open-field sprint.
The extended magazine changes how aggressively I would handle multi-player pushes. If two enemies come through a doorway close together, there is less pressure to immediately reload after the first knock. I would keep firing, move laterally rather than backward in a straight line, and use the Gremlin's responsive handling to transfer onto the second player. Against a full squad, though, I still would not treat the larger magazine as permission to stand still and spray. A quick reposition after every knock makes the ammunition advantage much more valuable.
Resurgence is where I would be especially comfortable giving this build freedom. The constant movement between buildings, rooftops and short rotations creates plenty of fights in the Gremlin's preferred environment. If I hear an enemy landing on the floor below or see someone disappear around a nearby corner, I am much more willing to pressure immediately. Battle Royale demands a little more restraint because rotations frequently force longer sightlines, so I would pair the Gremlin with something genuinely capable at medium and long range.
There is one situation where I would switch weapons without hesitation: an opponent crossing open terrain well beyond comfortable close-range distance. Even if the Gremlin can technically connect shots, spending half a magazine trying to secure a distant elimination defeats the purpose of the setup. Save those rounds for the next building, the next staircase or the player who suddenly slides through a doorway while you are recovering plates.
This Gremlin Warzone loadout works because it accepts the weapon's natural role and sharpens it instead of fighting against it. The 9" MFS Cestus Barrel, Hawker Hybrid .45, Convergence Box Laser, Procural Extended Mag and Votary Stock combine quick handling with enough stability and ammunition to make aggressive engagements far more manageable.
It is not the build I would choose for passive rooftop battles or long rotations across exposed terrain. Give it tight spaces, broken sightlines and opportunities to reposition between enemies, however, and the Gremlin becomes a much more convincing secondary or close-range primary. If your Warzone style revolves around pushing buildings and forcing opponents into uncomfortable fights, this configuration deserves a place in your next loadout.
