Is There A New Meta?
Any competitive first person shooter game is bound to have some form of meta, andCall of Duty: Warzoneis no different. Meta weapons have become more and more prominent since the integration ofBlack Ops Cold Warback in 2020.
However, Raven Software are usually quick to rectify any over powered weapons or attachments that become meta. But since the Season 3 Reloaded update went live, there were plenty of weapon adjustments. So, is there a new meta in Season 3 Reloaded?
To many fans' pleasure, there’s currently no standout meta inWarzoneat the moment. Prominent figures in theCall of Dutycommunity such asModernWarzoneandRallied, have even expressed their satisfaction with the currentWarzonemeta.
Rallied, a popular content creator, even pointed out that he could use 15 different weapons inWarzonefor the first time. Usually, when a weapon becomes meta, it’s almost impossible to use anything else without getting destroyed.
But just because all of theWarzoneweapons are currently well balanced, doesn’t mean that some guns aren’t better than others.
Best Guns To Use
DualShockershave put together our personal recommendation for the best guns to use inWarzoneSeason 3 Reloaded. Try these out for yourselves and let us know what you think!
Even though the AMAX recently received a nerf, it wasn’t substantial enough to stop it being one of the best Assault Rifles in the game. Check out the attachments below.
The popular SMG fromCold Warhas received multiple nerfs since it released, but with the right attachments, it is still a shredding machine. Check out the best attachments to use below.
If you’re able to be accurate with your long-range sniper shots, the KAR98K is one of the best marksman rifles to use to take people out quickly at mid-range and still destroy people at long range. When using at long-rage, you’ll need to try and be more accurate and hit your headshots to get 1 shot kills.
Now you’ve got the best Assault Rifle, SMG, and Marksman Rifle to use inWarzoneyou can get out there and dominate. However, it’s important to remember that as there currently is no exact meta inWarzone, there’s plenty of other solid guns to use.
Weapons such as the GRAU, M4A1, and MP5 are also solid choices with the right attachments. Also important to remember is that theWarzoneweapon meta is constantly changing, so don’t expect the same weapons that are viable today to still be viable come future updates.
