Source review — 10 November 2026: This is an original-game loadout from the dated guide below. Accessible source pages confirm the listed weapon attachment names. Perks and equipment retain their original dated attribution; the source review does not imply hands-on testing or a fresh balance-patch analysis.
The Bren is the slow, heavy option among LMGs in Call of Duty: WWII, able to kill in two shots at medium range according to AULuftwaffles. GamingBolt named it the best LMG in November 2017, while AULuftwaffles preferred the MG 42, so opinion is split. Our verdict is to choose it if you like winning fights on damage rather than volume. The build dates from 7 November 2017, before the April 2018 Division overhaul.
Best Bren loadout
AULuftwaffles names only two attachments, and no second source confirms them for this gun.
| Slot | Pick | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Attachment | Grip | Reduces recoil, especially off the bipod |
| Attachment | Full Metal Jacket | Increases penetration against enemies behind cover |
| Division | Armored | Protection from lethal and tactical equipment, and the bipod at the time |
| Basic Training | Lookout | Highlights enemies from farther away |
| Equipment | Mk 2 fragmentation grenade | Clears close quarters before you move through |
Why this build works
When a gun kills in two hits, the extra fire rate matters less than making both hits count. Grip supports that, and Full Metal Jacket makes enemies behind thin cover into targets. Lookout helps you spot someone before you commit to the shot.
How to play it
Plan the fight before it happens. Find a place you expect enemies to cross, set the bipod and wait there behind cover. AULuftwaffles is blunt that the gun gives you little chance if you are caught unprepared, so don't walk around with it as if it were a rifle. Since April 2018 the bipod has come with every LMG, with a higher fire rate while mounted and reserve ammo drawn first.
Alternative setups
Anti-streak (Activision, 11 April 2018, for any LMG): Bipod, Full Metal Jacket, Extended Mag, with Armored, Forage and a launcher secondary. It adds Extended Mag to this page's penetration focus.
