The Man-O-War is a highly favored assault rifle in Call of Duty: Mobile, boasting the ability to kill with 3 shots at even extreme distances. Consequently, it is a common sight in regular multiplayer and battle royale modes.

Nevertheless, the weapon comes with its own set of disadvantages such as sluggish mobility and a slow firing rate, which is why it’s critical to attach the optimal attachments to the Man-O-War to maximize its performance.

The Man-O-War offers a total of 52 attachments and perks, giving you a wide selection to pick from, but making the right choice can be challenging.

Luckily, we have analyzed the weapon across both game modes, crunched the numbers, and compiled the ultimate loadouts for Season 5.

Top Man-O-War Loadout For COD: Mobile Season 5

The Man-O-War is a hard-hitting assault rifle with impressive damage range. However, its mobility and fire rate leave much to be desired, potentially causing struggles against nimble adversaries, particularly in regular multiplayer modes.

While not holding the title for the best assault rifle in the game, it has seen various improvements in recent times, including the most recent Season 2 weapon balance update, which reduced its reload speed and ADS time.

The loadouts below aim to augment the weapon's strong points and mitigate its shortcomings.

If you're unable to equip some of the attachments listed, it's probably because your Man-O-War isn't sufficiently leveled up. Take a look at our guide on how to quickly level up weapons to unlock them as fast as possible.

Top Man-O-War Loadout For Battle Royale

This Man-O-War setup focuses on extending the weapon's already substantial damage range and enhancing its accuracy, without much consideration for mobility.

For this reason, we suggest pairing it with an SMG or shotgun - something lighter that you can quickly switch to for close-quarters combat, letting the Man-O-War excel at medium-to-long-range engagements.

  • Muzzle: Colossus Suppressor
  • Barrel: QWC Ranger
  • Stock: YKM Combat Stock
  • Ammunition: 30 Round Extended Mag
  • Rear Grip: Stippled Grip Tape

The most noteworthy attachment here is the Colossus Suppressor. Exclusive to the Man-O-War and Oden, this muzzle functions like an enhanced Monolith Suppressor, providing a staggering +40% damage range.

The QWC Ranger barrel bolsters the weapon’s accuracy and recoil control at a slight cost to mobility.

The YKM Combat Stock speeds up ADS time, while the 30 Round Extended Mag enlarges the weapon's magazine size from 25 to 30.

The Stippled Grip Tape contributes to the weapon's mobility by improving the ADS time and sprint-to-fire delay at the expense of recoil and bullet spread accuracy.

If there’s any modification to be made to this build, it would be swapping the YKM Combat Stock with the MIP Laser 5W to enhance the weapon’s overall mobility and accuracy.

Top Man-O-War Loadout For Standard MP

This configuration aims at ramping up the weapon's accuracy which, when combined with its potent damage output, renders it a formidable firearm in standard multiplayer modes.

  • Muzzle: QWC Light Compensator
  • Barrel: QWC Ranger
  • Stock: YKM Light Stock
  • Ammunition: 30 Round Extended Mag
  • Rear Grip: Stippled Grip Tape

The critical attachment here is the QWC Light Compensator, which augments the weapon's accuracy, and the QWC Ranger, serving a similar role while also increasing the damage range. Both will hamper mobility, but the other attachments aim to compensate for that.

To this end, we use the YKM Light Stock, which raises ADS movement speed at a minor cost to recoil. The Stippled Grip Tape further reduces ADS time and sprint-to-fire delay, similarly affecting recoil negatively.

We’ve once again selected the 30 Round Extended Mag. The default 25-round magazine is inadequate, but it’s best not to overly increase the weapon’s weight with the 35-round magazine, as the chosen magazine strikes a good balance.
