Stop using these old meta ARs in Warzone if you want to keep up

There are a couple of fan-favorite rifles that have dominated the Warzone meta that you need to stop using in Season 2 Reloaded.

Whenever a new season of Warzone comes around, the devs release a new weapon or two, but the biggest change comes in the buffs and nerfs to pre-existing weapons.

The changes prompt the biggest shifts in the meta, especially as once-popular weapons get brought down a peg or two, allowing something else to take its place. In Black Ops 6’s Season 2 Reloaded update, the devs went after a few popular rifles. 

While the AK-74 and Krig-C received slight buffs, the Model L and XM4 were nerfed significantly. Both previously topped the meta, but after having their damage ranges and multipliers tweaked, that should no longer be the case. 

Stop using the Model L & XM4 in Warzone

It was something Warzone guru WhosImmortal highlighted in his February 24 video, urging players to make changes. 

“This goes from being an absolute meta option to one that is really just more of a meta contender. It’s right there, it is close, but it’s not going to be the objective number one option,” the YouTuber said of the Model L. 

“The XM4 is the next option here and, quite frankly, this got hit hard again with nerfs. The TTK here is really not all that great anymore,” he added on the XM4. “I would drop it down, really, into the contender’s category. Not even in the meta conversation, it’s viable, it’s practical, it’s competitive because it’s so easy, but definitely not a top-tier rifle anymore by any means.”

The Warzone expert noted it is “surprising” how far the XM4 has fallen, given how much it dominated the meta, but added some players will stick with it for its familiarity. 

If you want to win, though, you’ll want to switch things up.

The aforementioned AK-74 and AMES 85 are the two rifles you’ll probably want to focus on now. They’re the ones that will deliver the wins.
