Jukeyz ranks his top 5 Warzone players of all time Activision/London Royal Ravens/New York Subliners/Minnesota RØKKRWarzone star Liam ‘Jukeyz’ James has revealed his top five greatest Warzone players of all time — and you might be slightly surprised by his picks. Jukeyz has made his name as not only one of Europe’s finest Warzone players, but one of the very best worldwide. He regularly not only puts up a fight against North America’s finest, but also beats them in multiple tournaments and formats. While the Brit has established himself as one of the best in the game, he gave his thoughts on who the best Warzone players of all time are during a recent chat with Dexerto. With consideration across Verdansk and Caldera, from 2v2 kill races to intense $100k custom lobbies, here’s Jukeyz’s top 5. Jukeyz top 5 Warzone players all time Jukeyz’s top five is similar to most players and viewers, though his order from first to fifth might be somewhat of a surprise to some. Here’s how Jukeyz lists his top five: Almond – Aydan – Biffle – Jukeyz – Tommey – Almond is currently the highest earner in Caldera and, according to Jukeyz, the best Warzone player in the game’s history. Aydan and Biffle complete the top 3, while Jukeyz also puts himself at 4 and, finally, Warzone’s highest earner Tommey in at 5th. “They just don’t know about Almond,” he said when asked why the Minnesota RØKKR Warzone star comes ahead of some of the bigger names, and he clearly loves Almond’s playstyle and ability. Jukeyz also shouted out ScummN as an honorable mention but doesn’t believe he makes it into that top five conversation yet. With Warzone 2 on the horizon, we could see some major changes coming to the Call of Duty battle royale, including a shift in who is considered to be the best.

Jukeyz exposes Warzone player blatantly stream sniping on Twitch Twitter, @JukeyzStream snipers have become a daily nuisance for Call of Duty: Warzone’s best players, but Jukeyz got the rare chance to expose one — who was streaming himself blatantly track the EU star’s Twitch channel on another monitor. A London Royal Ravens content creator and one of Warzone’s highest earners, Liam ‘Jukeyz’ James has amassed quite the following — including over 100,000 followers on Twitch. But, like many of the game’s most renowned streamers, that popularity can be used against him. While playing in a 2v2 wager for money, Jukeyz was hunted and killed by a team that seemed to know exactly where he was. Finding the name of his assailants, the streamer then proved why they were finding him so persistently, as one of them happened to be brashly streaming himself calling out where Jukeyz was. Frustrated with the behavior and debating the wager’s cancellation, Jukeyz shared a clip of the incident on Twitter. In the video, the stream sniper can be seen glancing over to another monitor and giddily telling his teammates precisely where the Warzone competitor was on the map. This literally just happened the game after my tweet about stream snipers and Vap is sat there saying that this should be paid out even when his partner said to cancel the wager hahahaha what do you guys think is this fair? pic.twitter.com/112HxAikby — Li (@Jukeyz) March 25, 2021 This clip not only exposes the stream sniper, who goes by Nabzy, for breaking Twitch’s terms of services. It also proves the difficulties faced by popular streamers, who have to decide between streaming in real-time so they can chat with their fans or stream on a delay to derail potential stream snipers. Distaste for the malicious, stream-watching behavior was exemplified in the replies by fans calling the sniper “embarrassing” and by fellow Warzone streamers as well. Former CoD pro and a top Warzone earner himself, Charlie ‘MuTeX’ Saouma responded to the clip colorfully: “This s**t was annoying as f**k to watch.” Since stream snipers are rarely streamers themselves, it’s rare to catch them in action. In other cases, like with Warzone’s No. 5 earner, Tommey’ Trewren, people have been caught without the evidence of a face cam. This is exactly why I’m not having fun in tournaments. pic.twitter.com/cKEhm8tkny — Tommey (@Tommey) March 14, 2021 For those who wonder why streamers play with delays during tournaments, these clips show exactly why. It also explains why some of the game’s most popular players, like Nicholas ‘NICKMERCS’ Kolcheff and Mason ‘Symfuhny’ Lanier, are hesitant to play in big events (aside from hacker worries). Streaming on a delay means you lose real-time interactivity with your chat, so it’s obviously something streamers don’t want to do. But, when stream snipers are getting as bold as the one chasing Jukeyz, it’s clear why delays are common. Additionally, this exposes why so many of Warzone’s best players have been asking the developers for a dedicated “Streamer Mode.” At the moment, it remains unclear if Raven Software intends to implement such a mode, which would mask streamers’ identities in-game.

Jukeyz explains how Warzone 2 can return Call of Duty to its former glory Activision/Red Bull Content PoolSince Call of Duty’s hit battle royale title Warzone launched in March 2020, it’s become one of the biggest games on the planet. With that, a huge number of streamers and competitors have seen their careers skyrocket through Warzone, and that includes Liam ‘Jukeyz’ James. Just a few short years ago, Jukeyz was a young lad out of Liverpool, England, who would play Call of Duty Search & Destroy tournaments in the evening after working his day job, with little expectation of where he could go from there. Since then, he’s become one of the most renowned Warzone players in the world, dominating opponents on a global scale across Vedansk, Caldera, and Rebirth Island. He’s earned thousands and even represents Call of Duty League franchise London Royal Ravens. Shortly after the launch of Season 3, in May 2022, Dexerto caught up with Jukeyz to discuss everything Warzone, including the shift from Verdansk to Caldera, competing across different continents, and what he wants from Warzone 2. As a player based in Europe, Jukeyz has spent much of his career up to this point having to deal with high-ping lobbies so he can prove himself against the very best over in North America. While players like Aydan, Tommey, and HusKerrs lead the way in America, Jukeyz has had to adapt to be able to compete against them — and that made it even sweeter when he was able to cross the pond and play wagers and tournaments on a level playing field as part of his “See me in NA” tour with Red Bull. “Everything was just so easy,” he said of his games in the States. “You can tell over here, on the European servers, it’s just so hard to create content and actually have fun with the game, because you’ve always got these people in the lobby that are trying to kill you, stream snipe you, or just trying their hardest. “Even getting into games with people who are playing wagers, European servers are just so full of everything I’ve just said. It’s just hard to create content, and that’s the main problem for me now.” Aside from the issues Jukeyz has creating content, there has been a noticeable downturn in the perception of Warzone in recent months. Activision reported a 50m drop in active players between March 2021 and March 2022, and the community had a very lukewarm response to the introduction of Caldera into the map pool. “You actually notice that the casuals who used to play, they just don’t exist, really,” Jukeyz explained. “In America you can find the lobbies that are full of casual players, but being over here, it’s hard work. It’s not just me, it’s affected a lot of people’s numbers.” Jukeyz hasn’t let that affect his love for competing, though. He told us: “I still love competing. I look forward to tournaments coming up, but it’s very rare that major tournaments are coming up. We’re lucky to get one a month at the moment.” Competing struggles don’t end at the lack of tournaments, though. Jukeyz thinks Caldera may play a part in diminishing the popularity of Warzone as an esport. “In this competitive scene, there isn’t anyone who is just the best. Especially with Caldera right now. No one can fathom this map. There are always different players winning, and different players popping off. This map is just based on hoping that you don’t get caught in the open … Is that skill, or is it just unlucky?” Looking ahead to Warzone 2 — and perhaps as a critique of Caldera, too — Jukeyz spoke about what he wanted to see in the upcoming title, and it all boiled down to one key thing: buildings. “I just need to see more buildings,” he said. “The number of times I die in the open space and get shot in the back, it’s unmerciful. It’s crazy. It’s to the point where I’m like, ‘Am I even good at CoD anymore?’ That’s how much I get shot in the open and in the back.” When asked for the main things he wants to see in Warzone 2, and how to bring the game back to its former glory, Jukeyz couldn’t stress enough how important implementing buildings are to his enjoyment of the game. “I just feel like that’s what Call of Duty is about. I feel like I’m playing PUBG on Caldera. I don’t think there are any standout players because of a lack of competitiveness on this map. To get the game back to where it was, you just have to give the map a little change.” There’s no telling what’s to come in Warzone 2. While the map has already started to leak, and Modern Warfare 2 news has started to be drip-fed to the CoD community, there’s only one thing that’s certain for the upcoming battle royale sequel: Jukeyz has every intention of staying at the top.

Jukeyz duo wins $15K TeeP’s Trials Warzone tourney: final placements Infinity Ward / UTA[jwplayer br5AuoVJ] Another new week means another running of star Twitch streamer Tyler ‘TeeP’ Polchow’s “Teep’s Trials” Warzone competition, and we’ve got everything for you to catch up on the latest tournament. Since its inception several weeks ago, TeeP’s weekly Warzone tournaments have become popular affairs among the battle royale fanbase. Big-name content creators and pro players alike draw the community together as they battle for a slice of the $15,000 prize pool. The 2014 Call of Duty World Champion hosted another iteration of the event on August 18. We’ve got you covered on a full recap, results, and everything you need to catch up the action. TeeP’s Trials Warzone Tourney Recap No different from previous weeks, TeeP’s latest event featured all the familiar faces you’d come to expect from a big Warzone competition. From NICKMERCS & Swagg to Vikkstar & itzwarsz, a wide array of former event winners were welcomed back alongside a number of up and comers as well. Competition was fierce right out of the gate in this duos event as even the most recent Warzone champions were in trouble early on. Having only just won FaZe Swagg’s Summer Warzone Invitational 24 hours prior, the duo of Aydan & MuTeX came in with nothing but confidence. After just one map, however, they soon landed in hot water. They were narrowly knocked out in the first round of the upper bracket before losing to Karma & ScummN to end their tournament run. While a few marquee names were able to push further into the event, many of the most popular duos fell to a similar fate and found themselves eliminated early.. The grand finals saw Jukeyz & YKTDeleo squaring off against Mvriiooo & zSmittyTV. While the newcomers were close to sealing the deal and causing the upset over Jukeyz and his duo, the second map didn’t go in their favor. Both teams survived through to the final 30 players but Mvriiooo & zSmittyTV were the first to go down. TeeP’s Trials Warzone Tourney Results When was the TeeP’s Trials Warzone tournament? The latest of these competitions took place on Tuesday, August 18. Things kicked off at 12 PM PT / 3 PM ET and ran for a few hours as duos pushed for the top spot. TeeP and the Call of Duty League’s Joe ‘MerK’ DeLuca were casting it live on Polchow’s Twitch channel, which we’ve included below. Additional streams: Live bracket Here is the final bracket for the tournament, which was updated live throughout the day on the official TeeP’s Trials website as the results for all the matches came in. Players & teams As mentioned above, TeeP’s Trials usually feature the cream of the crop when it comes to content creators, and the August 18 running was no exception. Once again, some huge names were featured, including the likes of NICKMERCS, Tfue, Symfuhny, Aydan, Karma, Vikkstar, and plenty more. Speaking of Symfuhny, he and HusKerrs were back to defend their crown after winning the previous week’s tournament. London Royal Ravens substitute ‘Rated and streamer TheDezmond, who won the one before that, were also competing. Aydan & MuTeX – Mvriiooo & zSmittyTV – Rated & TheDezmond – Karma & ScummN – Tfue & SuperEvan – Shlayy & Shively – DougisRaw & Bronana – Jukeyz & YKTDeleo – Vikkstar & ItzWarsZ – Destroy & Clutchbelk – BobbyPoffGaming & Frozone – AlmxndTV & Tommey – Symfuhny & HusKerrs – Exzachtt & AverageJoeWo – NICKMERCS & Swagg – Maven & Wagnificent – Format, rules, prize breakdown This is a 16-team, double-elimination Duos tournament using the ‘kill-race’ format that takes place in public matches. The teams matched up against each other in each round of the bracket must queue into a Quads match together, meaning that while they’re technically teammates in-game, they’re opponents for the purposes of the competition. In the Winners Bracket, matches are two games each, with the duo that gets the more eliminations through both games advancing. The same concept applies for the Losers Bracket, except those matches are only a single game. The winners of the Winners Bracket and Losers Bracket then meet in the Grand Final, but the latter needs to win two separate matches (four games total) to be crowned champions, while the former needs only one. In case of any ties, one additional game is played where the first duo to hit 10 kills is the winner, and if no one manages to get that many, the team that ends up with the more eliminations advances. There’s also this major rule in case Jailbreak in-game event occurs: If a duo is fully eliminated and have no Gulag attempts left and the in-game event “Jailbreak” occurs. Upon re-deploying because of this event, the duo who was fully eliminated before this event was initiated in-game must immediately eliminate themselves. Players that have been re-deployed because of this CANNOT float around in their parachutes or accumulate or attempt to accumulate further eliminations. Doing so may result in a forfeit. Any eliminations accumulated by the eliminated team will not count. To eliminate yourself upon re-deploy due to “Jailbreak” being activated, open your parachute and immediate cut the cord to your parachute. Doing this will cause your character to fall straight to the ground and eliminate yourself. As for the prize breakdown, the $15,000 prize pool will be split between the top-four placing teams, with the winner receiving a whopping $7,000! 1st Place: $7,000 – 2nd Place: $5,000 – 3rd Place: $2,000 – 4th Place: $1,000 –

Judge Dredd is coming to Warzone: Call of Duty teaser hints at new crossover bundle ActivisionFollowing the success of Warzone’s first 80’s Action Heroes Bundle featuring Rambo and John McClane, Judge Dredd appears to be on the way next as Activision has begun teasing a new Call of Duty crossover. Even more iconic movie characters are seemingly on the way to Verdansk. Following a Halloween bundle that introduced the likes of Jigsaw and Leatherface, all current CoD titles were then introduced to Rambo and McClane through the 80’s Action Heroes Bundle. Now, the second round of action stars could be ready to drop in. Up first, Judge Dredd is all but confirmed to be joining Warzone as part of the next crossover. An initial tease shared on September 1 gave us our first look at four different parts of the Operator skin. From his unmistakable shoulder pads to the trusty red and black helmet, Dredd appears ready to bring about justice in the CoD Battle Royale. https://twitter.com/CallofDuty/status/1433112437071437824 “A new order is about to rise in Verdansk,” the official CoD Twitter account teased. “Who could it possibly be?” fellow game devs Rebellion followed up. “We’ll let you be the judge.” Dredd’s first feature film arrived in 1995 with Sylvester Stallone at the helm. Although that was the character’s first jump to the big screen, the comic series from which it was adapted became popularized in the 80’s, Thus, it could still be a fitting character for the next 80’s-themed bundle. While this is just the first reveal, there could be additional characters set to follow. The first 80’s bundle gave us two legendary characters, so it’s fair to expect the same for this upcoming bundle. When Rambo and McClane made their presence known across Warzone, they did so with more than just new skins. The Season 3 Reloaded patch even changed the map quite drastically, introducing new POIs to fit the theme. There’s no telling if Season 5 Reloaded will do the same, though we could be in store for at least one map change in Verdansk if history repeats itself. The initial 80s crossover pack also made history as the first bundle to release across all current CoD titles. Players in Warzone, Black Ops Cold War, and even CoD Mobile could all play as the classic characters. It’s once again safe to assume that’ll be the case for the second Action Heroes Bundle. We’ll keep you up to date with all the latest as new teasers emerge in the leadup to the next major patch.

JoshOG’s team wins 100 Thieves’ $100K Warzone tourney: final placements JoshOG – Twitter / 100 Thieves / Infinity Ward100 Thieves’ $100,000 ‘Warzone From Home’ Call of Duty battle royale tournament has now wrapped up, with JoshOG, Diegosaurs, and HusKers crowned champions. With Warzone being all the hype in the Call of Duty scene right now, 100 Thieves became one of several organizations to host massive tournaments featuring the popular new battle royale. Their March 20 event featured some of the biggest names in the online gaming community, with $50,000 of the prize money going to a charity of the winners’ choosing, while the other half given away to viewers and fans. The trio of JoshOG, Diegosaurs, and HusKers came in first place, staking a claim to $25,000. They took down Fortnite pro Aydan and CoD streamers xAmpz and SuperEvan in the grand finals, with the second-place team earning $15,000 for charity. The top four were rounded off with KingRichard, Hill_APEX, and BCJ, and Mendo, xQc, and Aimbotcalvin, each team winning $5,000. A full recap of the tournament can be found below, including highlights and final placements. 100 Thieves’ Warzone From Home – Grand Final Recap Unlike all of the previous rounds, the grand final consisted of three Warzone games instead of two, with the team that got the most points (based on eliminations and wins) at the end earning the championship. The grand final started off as a pretty one-sided affair in the favor of Team JoshOG, who took a fairly commanding 36-21 lead, despite not managing to get the win at the end and claim the bonus five points. Aydan’s squad tried their best to get back into it in the second game, scoring plenty of kills and winning the match – but even that wasn’t enough to cut the lead, as their opponents got their own victory to grow the lead to 89-71. https://twitter.com/100Thieves/status/1241106687005618176 Knowing they had to go all out in the third and final game, Team Aydan dropped 35 kills, but were not able to get the victory; and with Team JoshOG getting enough eliminations to maintain the lead at 129-111, they were able to secure the tournament victory. Final Placements & Bracket Here are the full final placements for this Warzone From Home tournament, which featured 16 teams in a single-elimination bracket.

JoshOG hits MAX level on Call of Duty Blackout – Emblem and unlocks Streamer JoshOG has become one of the very first players to hit max level in Black Ops 4’s Blackout mode, granting him a selection of rare gear and customization options. Blackout’s level system is similar but completely separate to regular multiplayer, acting as it’s own unique game almost, like Zombies. And it has it’s own unique unlocks, emblems, challenges and calling cards too, as Treyarch has fleshed it out to be a fully progressive experience. Currently, the max level is set at 81, which will grant you the very final outfit, ‘Battle Hardened’, which is pretty badass to say the least. You also get a unique emblem for hitting 81, but the main attraction is certainly the battle hardened character. WE DID IT! HIT MAX LEVEL 81 IN #BLACKOUT! We must be the first, or one of the first, in the WORLD to do it!!https://t.co/D4UG4rinWv pic.twitter.com/mEnFY1KBHS — JoshOG (@JoshOG) October 16, 2018 It means that JoshOG now has every skin which can be unlocked with ‘Merits’, which includes other militaristic skins like Navy Seal and US Ranger. As for the other skins in Blackout, the specialist characters can be unlocked through the ‘Specialist HQ’ missions, which can be a slog to get through, but are rewarding. It is also expected that Treyarch will add more skins in the future, and perhaps they will increase the max level cap to allow for even more high level skins.

Joshh’s team denies signing with major org after CWL Vegas schedule leak An error made in the published schedule of the upcoming $250,000 CWL Vegas major tournament has created some confusion in the competitive Call of Duty scene. According to the official schedule put out by the CWL on November 27, day one of the tournament would feature a Pool C battle between Team Envy and a squad featuring Joshh, MadCat, Dqvee, Alexx, and Peatie, who do not yet officially have an organization to represent. However, the schedule listed the match as between Envy and Lightning Pandas, which immediately sparked rumors that the EU roster had signed with LP and the CWL had accidentally leaked the arrangement. The Twitter account known for its affiliation with the infamous CoDBurner was predictably quick to jump in on the discussion, tweeting out a screenshot of the schedule before it would get revised. “CWL has released their schedule for Vegas, did MadCat’s team get picked up by Lightning Pandas or is this a mistake?” he tweeted. However, this was shot down almost immediately by Joshh, who replied to the tweet saying that schedule was incorrect and that they had not signed with Lightning Pandas. While people will have to take Joshh’s word for it, there still remains the possibility that he is simply covering up for the CWL’s mistake and there may be an agreement in place after all. Signing with an org like LP wouldn’t be a stretch of the imagination by any means, especially considering that Joshh and co are one of the stronger sides that the EU scene has to offer, and have secured a spot in Pool Play at CWL Vegas thanks to their collective Pro Points from WWII. As for now, the squad heads into CWL Vegas without an official org, and will be matched up against fellow Pool C teams Envy and FaZe Clan, as well as a team from the play-in tournament and the Open Bracket. CWL Vegas is scheduled to take place December 7-9 at the Hard Rock Hotel in Las Vegas, NV and will feature teams from all over the world vying for a share of the $250,000 prize pool and crucial Pro Points.

Joshh, Dqvee feature in new EU CoD roster for CWL Anaheim CWL/MLGCall of Duty professionals Joshua-Lee ‘Joshh’ Sheppard and David ‘Dqvee’ Davies have found a new team ahead of Black Ops 4’s CWL Anaheim, which takes place from June 14-17. Joshh and Dqvee are both big names in the European Call of Duty scene, having been around for some time now. Joshh is probably best known for his time on Splyce, which saw him place 2nd at the 2016 Call of Duty Championships, during the Black Ops 3 season. Dqvee has struggled to find success since the Infinite Warfare season, in which he won both CWL Birmingham Open and CWL Sheffield, both while playing for Epsilon Esports. Both men have had issues finding a long-term team in Black Ops 4, bouncing around from roster to roster but never really sticking. However, their latest organization will be hoping to break that trend. On June 9, Team WaR announced that they would be taking the two EU veterans on, alongside up-and-comers Adam ‘Defrag’ Matthews, Cameron ‘Cammy’ McKilligan and Connor ‘Weeman’ Chilton. All of the players have experienced similar struggles in Black Ops 4, and will be looking to turn their fortunes around on Team WaR. Weeman, Cammy and Defrag were last on Kairos Esports, but all left in May 2019. The entirely British roster marks a shift for the American organization, and was announced via Twitter, by the org’s owners, ‘Surge’ and ‘Knowledge’, as they prepare for their “favorite tournament of the year”. :fire:ANNOUNCING OUR CWL ANAHEIM TEAM!:fire: pic.twitter.com/vizJA8C6LI — Team WaR™ (@OfficialTeamWaR) June 10, 2019 Similarly, Joshh was on Kairos Esports as they – alongside Nick ‘Nolson’ Nolson – finished in 2nd place at the CWL London Open 2019, winning $12,500 in the process. The new Team WaR roster will be hoping to springboard off Kairos’ success, and potentially win the CWL Anaheim Open 2019, with $15,000 on the line for the winner of the Open. You can follow all the action from Anaheim, in both the professional and open brackets, on Dexerto, when it kicks off on June 14.

Forget John Wick: Warzone players want an infamous Tropic Thunder hero as next Operator Red Hour Productions / ActivisionWarzone is no stranger to pop culture cameos and, after characters like Jigsaw and Rambo got love, the community has set their eyes on a new Operator. And it’s a controversial one: infamous Sergeant Lincoln Osiris. Look, it’s not exactly clear how well 2008’s action comedy would hold up in the current sociocultural landscape. It was written by Ben Stiller and Justin Theroux, featured an industry-leading cast, and received enough controversy to make an Activision partnership feel… ambitious. Looking back on the satirical film, people weren’t very fond of some jokes centered around mental disabilities. Further, there’s the issue of Robert Downey Jr.’s character, Sgt. Osiris, who wears blackface for practically the entire movie. But Downey Jr. has said he doesn’t regret the self-aware role at all and CoD fans think Osiris would be a hilarious inclusion in Warzone, especially due to the outlandish voice lines it could come with. Even if you haven’t seen the movie, you can tell just how self-reflectively ridiculous it is just from the trailer. Like a comedy, meta version of , the movie has given rise to some iconic characters. And Warzone fans are ready for Osiris to make his debut in game, even over other highly touted characters like John Wick. When ‘Mibbens’ posted the idea on Reddit, they probably weren’t expecting a comment section filled with possible voice lines. “Cover me you limped d**k motherf**kers” and “we’re f**king lost, man” are some of the crowd favorites. For what it’s worth, RDJ has emphasized that the Osiris character isn’t taken lightly. Instead, he explains that “is about how wrong [blackface] is.” While it’s unclear if Activision would ever really bring the foul-mouthed, satirical sergeant into the fold, one thing is clear: Warzone players are ready to play as a dude who’s playing as a dude disguised as another dude.

World Champion John nearing return to professional Call of Duty MLGAfter eons of silence, Johnathan ‘John’ Perez is updating fans on his status as a competitive Call of Duty player and suggesting that he is nearing a highly anticipated return to the scene. [jwplayer RDIo8tSY] One of competitive Call of Duty’s greatest mysteries appears to be unfolding into its next chapter, as John has finally spoken up and let fans, and competitors, know that his return is nigh. A former Call of Duty world champion and MVP, John surreptitiously vanished from the competitive circuit with rumors that he was banned from participating in the inaugural Call of Duty League season. Although those rumors couldn’t specify why he was banned or for how long he would be (some saying one year, some saying indefinitely), it appears that John is making headway on his highly anticipated return. In a tweet that has sent the CoD community into an uproar, he explained that he will be coming back, but only once he is entirely healthy and distraction-free. https://twitter.com/John287/status/1319391395757674496 A 2016 World Champion and MVP while playing with Team Envy, John has been widely considered a premier SMG player in Call of Duty. Absent from the inaugural CDL season, he nonetheless made one appearance at a local LAN — taking first place at AGN Charlotte with Total Advantage. Following some highly contested rumors that he was on the New York Subliners’ radar for 2020 rostermania, John’s tweet is the first true indication that he will be making a CDL debut. He explained his current progress, along with two pictures, to share his status update with, and encourage patience from, his fans: “I’m close to getting my mind and health perfect with the help of my second home…trust the process.” In the pictures, it appears that John is prioritizing his health over everything before returning to high-level CoD competition. One image shows a sports therapy room with what appears to be an OxyHealth hyperbaric chamber, typically used to stimulate oxygen flow. Another shows him looking into a office as a doctor monitors an Eclipse eVive pulse wave therapy device, typically used to repair and stimulate growth of red blood cells. happy for you brotha, excited to see you on the battlefield soon! — NYSL Clayster (@Clayster) October 22, 2020 None of that really matters, as the specific health and distractions affecting John have been, and will continue to be, up to his own discretion to disclose. What matters is that one of Call of Duty’s biggest stars appears nearly ready to make his return. Following the early rumors that he was banned from the professional circuit, this is exciting news. Among teams that have the roster space to sign the former SMG superstar, the Subliners remain the most intriguing. Further, the London Royal Ravens, Paris Legion, and Florida Mutineers all have undecided starting spots available, while numerous other rosters have substitute spots unoccupied. Why John isn’t on a team. What’s being said behind the scenes: pic.twitter.com/70ICP087rj — CDL Intel (@intelCDL) November 12, 2019 Among fellow competitors, peers like the New York Subliners’ James ‘Clayster’ Eubanks and OpTic Gaming’s Jordan ‘JKap’ Kaplan have already expressed excitement over this focus on a return. As for when John might be making his CDL debut, no one knows when it will be or which team it will be with. But he’s reminded us all that when he’s back, he’ll be at his best: “Just know that when I’m 100 percent ready, I’ll be coming back with none of the health issues or distractions that I was lowkey playing with before.”

JoeWo’s throwback Warzone OTs 9 loadout is perfect for Rebirth Island Activision / Twitter, @averagejoewoYouTuber and Warzone pro JoeWo has brought the OTs 9 back into the ‘best Warzone SMG’ conversation after showing off exactly how effective it can still be on Rebirth Island. Warzone’s Season 2 Reloaded SMG meta has been a stagnant one thus far with the MP40 and Welgun dominating the top of the order, but that doesn’t mean all of the other SMGs are completely unusable. JoeWo, Warzone’s resident Movement King, has taken it upon himself to show off how the long-abandoned OTs 9 build from 2021 can still be used to great effect if you know when and where to use it. JoeWo shows off why the OTs 9 is still viable for Rebirth His loadout is a simple one that stays pretty well within the confines of the old meta version of the gun. The weapon’s biggest advantage is its strafe speed, allowing you to stay elusive while in those up-close gunfights. OTS 9 Warzone loadout Muzzle: GRU Suppressor – Barrel: 8.1″ Task Force – Stock: Spetsnaz – Ammunition: VDV 40 Round Fast Mag – Rear Grip: Serpent Wrap – Though the MP40, Welgun, and STEN might have the overall performance edge over the OTs, this strafe advantage can shore up a lot of that inequality and keep you outmaneuvering the opposition. Now the rest of the loadout has some room for improvising. If you’re comfortable rocking a Kar98k or a Swiss K31, those are easy and obvious companions that will complement your movement-based SMG build well. Alternatively, you could turn to the Cooper Carbine or the new controversial Volk loadout to keep yourself safe at a distance. The only right answer is the gun that you feel the most comfortable with when the fight starts to move too far ahead of you.

JoeWo’s throwback MP7 Warzone loadout is perfect for Rebirth Island Activision/JoeWoThe Modern Warfare MP7 may look small and unimposing, but this pint-sized SMG can deliver plenty of damage in Warzone Season 3. Modern Warfare and Cold War weapons have started to creep back into contention after the recent Warzone balance changes. This has enabled SMGs like the MP7 to be a lot more viable in Season 3, giving players more options when it comes to picking the best loadouts. While the MP7 may not be as popular as the MP40 or Owen Gun, JoeWo has dusted off the classic Modern Warfare weapon and put it back in the spotlight. Not only does this fast-firing weapon have fantastic mobility, but the quick ADS time can also lead to plenty of kills on Rebirth Island. This loadout is especially useful for those that prefer the game’s run and gun playstyle, so here’s the best MP7 loadout you should be using in Warzone Season 3. JoeWo’s MP7 Warzone loadout Attachments Barrel: FSS Recon – Laser: 5mw Laser – Ammunition: 50 Round Mags – Rear Grip: Stippled Grip Tape – Stock: No Stock – JoeWo’s MP7 has been built around maximizing the gun’s speed. In fact, this loadout pushes the SMG to its limits. In order to increase your chances of securing plenty of kills on Rebirth Island, JoeWo has utilized attachments that raise the gun’s mobility. Both the 5mw Laser and Stippled Grip Tape enhance the Tactical Sprint To Fire, which enables players to remain mobile without any severe delays to firing. When this is combined with the added hipfire accuracy from the 5mw Laser and No Stock attachment, you have a fantastic reactionary build. Timestamp of 0:42 If you find yourself in a scenario where there is no time to ADS, then simply hipfire the MP7 to gain an instant advantage over your opponent. Lastly, the added bullet velocity from the FFS Recon and ammunition from the 50 Round mags will give you plenty of opportunities to take down multiple foes. JoeWo’s MP7 loadout really shines on Rebirth Island, where the SMG can capitalize on close-range encounters. So, if you’re after a non-meta option that delivers a speedy playstyle, then be sure to give this Modern Warfare loadout a go.

JoeWo’s MP5 Warzone loadout is perfect for close-range firefights JoeWo/ActivisionThe Warzone Season 3 weapon balance patch has shaken up the current meta, giving classic guns like the Modern Warfare MP5 the chance to shine. While the MP40 and Owen Gun still continue to prove popular in Warzone Season 3, a number of classic Modern Warfare weapons have begun to enter the field. Previously, JoeWo unveiled his lethal M40A1 loadout that still packs a punch, but now the streamer has set his sights on the MP5. This lightning-fast SMG previously dominated both the game’s casual and competitive scene for multiple seasons. Not only does the Modern Warfare MP5 come packed with great mobility, but it also has decent close-range damage that makes it particularly potent when used in more intimate engagements. In order to get the most out of this SMG in the new season, JoeWo has created the best MP5 Warzone loadout you can use to get an edge over your foes. JoeWo’s MP5 Warzone loadout Barrel: Monolithic Integral Suppressor – Underbarrel: Merc Foregrip – Stock: FTAC Collapsible – Perk: Sleight of Hand – Ammunition: 45 Round Mags – JoeWo’s MP5 loadout is all about increasing the gun’s speed, with attachments that bolster bullet velocity and general mobility. First up is the Monolithic Integral Suppressor, which increases the MP5’s damage range and bullet velocity. Adding to this are the FTAC Collapsible and Merc Foregrip. This Underbarrel attachment reduces the gun’s vertical and horizontal recoil, making it an absolute laser in close-quarter scenarios. To make matters even better, the Stock also improves your mobility and ADS speed. Timestamp of 1:20 The 45 Round Mags may seem limited, but JoeWo has utilized the Sleight of Hand Perk to ensure reloads are kept quick. After all, getting killed during lengthy animations is incredibly frustrating, particularly when you have a gun you have to reload often. So, there you have it, one MP5 loadout that you can use to obliterate your rivals in Warzone Season 3.

JoeWo’s lightning-fast PPSH Warzone loadout breaks mobility stat JoeWo/ActivisionThe PPSH is known for its high fire rate and ease of use, but JoeWo’s mobility loadout pushes this speedy gun to its limits. Movement speed has always been incredibly important in Warzone, especially in close-quarter engagements. After all, being able to run rings around your foes can give you a huge advantage. This is where JoeWo’s lightning-fast PPSH loadout comes in. The Warzone streamer is known for his incredible movement mechanics, but his latest build has pushed the game’s mobility to its very limits. So, if you’re looking for a fast SMG you can use to outmaneuver your foes on Rebirth Island, then this PPSH loadout is one you’ll want to try. JoeWo’s best PPSH Warzone loadout Laser: Tiger Team Spotlight – Stock: CQB Stock – Underbarrel: Bruiser Grip – Magazine: 55 Round Drum – Rear Grip: Serpent Wrap – Unlike our own PPSH loadout, JoeWo has only included attachments that drastically raise the SMG’s speed. First up is the Tiger Team Spotlight and Bruiser Grip. Both of these attachments enhance the gun’s movement speed and sprint speed, which enable you to nimbly streak across the battlefield. Read More: Best STG44 Warzone loadout – To capitalize on the added mobility, the streamer has also used the Serpent Wrap and CQB Stock. While Rear Grip speeds up your ADS time, the Stock reduces the sprint to fire penalty. This allows players to aggressively rush down their opponent or go for sneaky flanks. Timestamp of 0:18 Lastly, the 55 Round Drum gives the maximum amount of ammunition, which is particularly helpful during 1v2 scenarios. After all, having to constantly reload during crucial moments can lead to some incredibly frustrating deaths. JoeWo’s mobility-based PPSH loadout is best used on Rebirth Island, where the smaller engagement ranges really allow this setup to shine. Be sure to take it for a spin if you’re after an alternative to the MP40 and Owen Gun.

JoeWo’s dominant AMAX Warzone loadout could be the perfect all-round weapon Activision/JoeWoThe CR-56 AMAX may no longer be the best AR in Warzone, but JoeWo’s loadout proves that this old-school weapon still packs a punch in Season 3. With the arrival of Warzone Season 3, many players will be looking for new Assault Rifles to help them gain a competitive edge. Well, JoeWo has revealed his favorite CR-56 AMAX loadout that is perfect for both Caldera and Rebirth Island. This classic AR originally dominated the game’s lobbies in past seasons thanks to its high damage, fantastic accuracy, and excellent range. While the Cooper Carbine and XM4 reign supreme in the current Warzone meta, the AMAX is still a fantastic choice. In fact, if you utilize JoeWo’s CR-56 loadout, then you’ll be able to eliminate your foes in no time at all. Whether you’re bored of Warzone’s best ARs or just wish to use an off-meta pick, then this loadout is a great choice. JoeWo’s CR-56 AMAX loadout Attachments Muzzle: Monolithic Suppressor – Barrel: XRK Zodiac S440 – Optic: VLK 3.0x Optic – Underbarrel: Commando Foregrip – Ammunition: 45 Round Mags – Caldera is a big place and features plenty of mid to long-range engagements, which make recoil control and damage range incredibly important. Well, to help aid in these areas JoeWo has attached the Monolithic Suppressor and XRK Zodiac S440. These two attachments drastically increase your effective range, reduce the AMAX’s recoil, and even speed up the gun’s bullet travel time. Next up is the VLK 3.0x. This Optic is perfect for securing those all-important head and body shots, especially when you wish to take down targets at range. However, JoeWo notes that players can switch out this Optic for the PBX Holo 7 Sight if they primarily play Rebirth Island. Unlike the VLK 3.0x, the PBX speeds up your ADS time, while the 1.3x magnification makes it easier to track close to mid-range targets. Timestamp of 2:28 Like the majority of Modern Warfare’s loadouts, the Commando Foregrip is vital for recoil reduction. The AMAX will still climb vertically when fired under prolonged engagements, but this attachment does make controlling the gun a lot more manageable. Lastly, the 45 Round Mags provide enough ammunition to comfortably down your target. Just be sure to avoid any long-range fights as any missed shots can lead to some rather frustrating deaths. Unlike Swagg’s Sniper Rifle AMAX loadout, JoeWo’s old-school build is geared towards close to mid-range firefights. So, there you have it, a deadly AMAX loadout you can use in Season 3. Be sure to give it a go and see if you can clutch any dominant Warzone wins.

JoeWo unveils deadly FFAR Warzone loadout that dominates Rebirth Island YouTube: JoeWo/ActivisionWarzone star JoeWo has shown off a deadly FFAR loadout that is perfect for games on Rebirth Island as it rips through enemies with ease. While the meta in Warzone has gone through plenty of different changes in the past, it has become a little stale in Pacific Season 2. Weapons like the Kar98, XM4, MP40, and Bren still rule the day much to the annoyance of some players. As a result, plenty of players have been trying to go back to weapons from Modern Warfare and Black Ops Cold War for something different – even if they do believe that the option to only use five attachments versus 10 with the Vanguard weapons does put them at a disadvantage. Some players have fallen back in love with the FFAR from Cold War, and while it has a rock-bottom pick rate as per WZRanked, it can still beam through enemies, especially on Rebirth Island. Warzone star JoeWo highlighted the Cold War Assault Rifle in his April 23 video, calling it “disgusting” as to just how easy it eliminated enemies and helped him find success on Rebirth. “I brought one of my favorite metas out for the day, and oh my goodness, I had one of my filthiest games of Rebirth yet. The FFAR still hits incredibly hard and knocks fast,” he said. The build is ever so slightly different from what we’ve seen before, though. The always popular Agency Suppressor and Raider Stock drop out, with the Sound Suppressor and SAS Combat Stock taking their place. The always helpful Salvo Fast Mag manages to retain its spot, however. JoeWo’s best FFAR Warzone loadout Muzzle: Sound Suppressor – Laser: Tiger Team Spotlight – Magazine: Salvo Fast Mags – Stock: SAS Combat Stock – Grip: Serpent Wrap – As noted, the Cold War weapon does still maintain a rock bottom pick rate, but if players like JoeWo continue to give it some shine that could all change. It may not become meta, especially with the Season 3 changes around the corner, but it can certainly still do some decent damage.

JoeWo shows off fastest TTK secondary on Rebirth Island and everyone hates it Warzone pro JoeWo uploaded a clip of Rebirth Island gameplay showing off the “fastest TTK secondary” and players hate how toxic it is. Call of Duty: Warzone has a myriad of weapons to choose from, but this creates a problem where a number of weapons feel overpowered. It’s difficult to balance such a large arsenal, which leads to players endlessly complaining about certain weapons. Once content creators like JGOD or JoeWo shine a light on these “broken” weapons, you can expect to see them a lot more often in-game. Whether they stay meta or not depends entirely on how they perform. In some instances, these “meta weapons” are hated by the community and can cause a number of players to leave the game until it’s fixed. And that might be the case for an explosive secondary that streamer JoeWo recently highlighted on Twitter. *NEW* NO RECOIL! HIGH DAMAGE! Fastest TTK Secondary you have to try NOW! 😱😱😱 pic.twitter.com/dKFDQ0o8Jt — JoeWo (@AverageJoeWo) May 16, 2022 JoeWo shows off hated Panzerfaust secondary JoeWo uploaded a clip to Twitter showing how he dominates Rebirth Island with the Panzerfaust. This rocket launcher secondary packs a mean punch and has a fairly quick reload time to boot. In the clip, Joe takes out an entire squad in less than 30 seconds with only a handful of rockets. It only takes one rocket to down each player making this launcher a one-shot-kill in solos. But his fans and fellow streamers weren’t happy with him exposing this weapon. Many users claimed they’d be taking a break from Rebirth for a few days knowing people would be using the new rocket meta. “Why are you showing the world this! As if rebirth wasn’t bad enough with stacking!” one user commented, while another stated, “Getting off Rebirth for at least two weeks. Thanks Joe.” There are a number of reasons why players fear the Panzerfaust catching on so quickly. It’s fairly easy to unlock, doesn’t have attachments for players to grind for, and its lack of recoil makes sure you never miss your target. So, if you happen to get blown up over the next few days, you can thank Joe for that. You can also thank him for teaching players about the fastest TTK Type 100 loadout which might come in handy against rocketeers.

JoeWo shows off classic M4A1 loadout that still dominates in Warzone Season 3 Activision/JoeWoThe M4A1 has been creeping up the Warzone AR meta rankings and JoeWo’s loadout proves that this Modern Warfare classic still dominates in Season 3. Following on from the Warzone Season 3 weapon balance changes, many players are looking for the next best AR. While the Cold War AK-47 continues to reign supreme, there have been a number of iconic Modern Warfare weapons that have started to see more use in the game. While the M4A1 previously dominated Warzone lobbies in previous seasons, the classic AR continues to be a fantastic pick. This is partly down to its high accuracy, great damage, and overall versatility. Whether you miss Modern Warfare’s meta or just wish to dust off an old-school classic, then JoeWo’s M4A1 loadout will give you plenty of kills in Season 3. JoeWo’s M4A1 Warzone loadout Attachments Muzzle: Monolithic Suppressor – Barrel: Stock M16 Grenadier – Optic: VLK 3.0x Optic – Underbarrel: Commando Foregrip – Magazine: 60 Round Mags – JoeWo’s M4A1 focuses on boosting the gun’s damage range and accuracy, which makes it perfect for those mid to long-range engagements. Just like other meta Modern Warfare ARs, the M4A1 has been kitted out with the Monolithic Suppressor. This Muzzle attachment suppresses your shots and increases your damage range. Read More: Best Warzone loadouts for Season 3 – When this attachment is combined with the Stock M16 Grenadier’s added bullet velocity, recoil reduction, and damage range – you have a highly reliable rifle. In order to maximize the mid-range kill potential, the VLK 3.0x Optic has also been utilized. Timestamp of 3:15 Even when fired under prolonged engagements, JoeWo’s M4A1 loadout barely moves. This is especially true when the Commando Foregrip is attached, which greatly minimizes horizontal and vertical recoil. Rounding things off at the bottom is the 60 Round Mags. Not only does the added ammo count enable you to mop up numerous multi-kills, but it can also help in times where your accuracy is a little off. So, there you have it, a perfect M4A1 build that you can use to decimate your foes in Warzone Season 3. It’s certainly not hard to see why this classic AR is creeping up on Warzone’s best ARs.

JoeWo reveals “zero recoil” Warzone 2 AR loadout that’s perfect for Al Mazrah ActivisionJoseph ‘JoeWo’ Wohala has discovered a Warzone 2 AR that has “zero recoil” and he took to both the Firing Range and the battlefield to prove it. JoeWo is always willing to try something outside the meta; this time, he has struck gold. While looking for a gun that has minimal recoil, he found a build that doesn’t move much at all after its first few bullets. It’s not as strong as the Sakin, TAQ-V, or the RPK, but for players who struggle to win long-range fights, this will absolutely revolutionize shooting down range. JoeWo’s ‘zero recoil’ Lachman-556 Warzone 2 loadout The Lachmann-556 is JoeWo’s long-distance weapon of choice. It won’t score a two-shot kill anytime soon, but considering that it only has vertical recoil that’s easily controlled and that it stops kicking upward after a while, this is a no-brainer of a weapon. In the video embedded below, Wohala held the trigger down without managing the recoil at all, and after making it a few shots into the magazine, the gun’s recoil hits its peak and stays in the same spot until he runs out of bullets. Anyone hoping to achieve that same effect should be copying his build: Optic: AIM OP-V4 – Muzzle: Komodo Heavy – Underbarrel: FTAC Ripper 56 – Ammo: 5.56 High Velocity – Magazine: 60-Round Mag – While this is the type of gun that gets bigger value on Al Mazrah, JoeWo used this class to great effect on Ashika Island, maintaining distance for most of the game and taking advantage of the extra-precise aiming to score easy kills. By the end of the match, he racked up 18 kills before getting trapped in the gas and eliminated from the game via a well-placed drill charge in the Top 5. He may not have closed out the win but he left no doubt about how well this loadout can perform.

JoeWo reveals Warzone Armaguerra 43 loadout to dominate Season 2 Reloaded JoeWo/ActivisionThe Armaguerra 43 is the latest SMG that is dominating Warzone and JoeWo has the perfect loadout that can give players a competitive edge. Warzone’s Season 2 Reloaded update introduced plenty of new content to the game, including Rebirth Island map changes, Weapon Trading System, and the Armaguerra 43. This new Vanguard SMG comes packed with a lightning-fast rate of fire, which makes it a popular option for those looking to maximize their DPS in close-quarter firefights. Whether the Armaguerra has what it takes to topple Warzone’s best SMGs remains to be seen, but JoeWo’s loadout demonstrates just how powerful it can be. So, if you’re looking for a worthy replacement to the MP40 or just wish to enhance your kill potential in Warzone Season 2, then this Armaguerra build will enable you to do just that. JoeWo’s best Armaguerra loadout Attachments Muzzle: Recoil Booster – Barrel: 570mm Precisione – Optic: Slate Reflector – Stock: Imerito SA Folding – Underbarrel: M1941 Hand Stop – Magazine: 9mm 60 Round Mags – Ammo Type: Lengthened – Rear Grip: Stippled Grip – Perk: Sleight of Hand – Perk 2: Quick – The Armaguerra may be the new kid on the block, but many Warzone pros have already been putting this fast-firing weapon to good use. However, despite the SMG’s overall speed, the gun does have a decent amount of recoil. Because of this, JoeWo has utilized the following attachments: Recoil Booster, Botti 570mm Precisione, Imerito SA Folding, M1941 Hand Stop, and Stippled Grip. These attachments enable you to simply beam your targets without having to constantly adjust your aim. JoeWo has also attached the Slate Reflector optic, which is fantastic for zeroing in on head and body shots in close-quarter scenarios. Having plenty of ammunition and decent bullet velocity is also imperative to any SMG build. So, to help with these areas, the Warzone pro has utilized both the 9mm 60 Round Mags and Lengthened ammo type. Meanwhile, Sleight of Hand and Quick will ensure you have speedy reloads and the ability to outmaneuver your opponents. JoeWo’s best Armaguerra loadout is certainly an incredibly powerful build and one that can give you an edge in Warzone Season 2. Make sure you give it a go when you next drop into Rebirth Island or Caldera.

JoeWo reveals Warzone AR that will replace NZ-41 in Season 4 Reloaded JoeWoJoeWo has revealed the new best Warzone Assault Rifle loadout after the Season 4 Reloaded nerfs to the NZ-41. Here’s all the attachments you need to gain a competitive edge in the latest update. Warzone Season 4 Reloaded is finally live, which has brought with it plenty of new game modes, the Vargo-S AR, and plenty of weapon tweaks. One of the biggest changes comes in the form of NZ-41 nerfs. This deadly weapon has been dominating the game’s lobbies since its release, but the recent damage nerfs aim to reign in its power.

So, if you’re looking for the best Assault Rifle to use in Warzone Season 4 Reloaded or just wish to claim more kills, then JoeWo’s loadout will give you a huge advantage.

Simply zero in on your target and begin lighting them up with incredible accuracy. The added bullet velocity from the Barrel, Lengthened, and Muzzle enables you to hit distant targets with ease. This makes the KG M40 incredibly versatile when it comes to both mid and long-range engagements. Timestamp of 1:02 Combine this with the added sprint to fire speed and movement speed from the VDD 22G Padded, and you have a very quick AR. While you’ll still be best off switching to your SMG during close-quarter fights, this attachment can give you a chance when quick reaction times are needed. Lastly, the 8mm Klauser 60 Round Drums and Fully Loaded perk give you plenty of ammunition to secure multiple kills. So, there you have it, the best KG M40 Warzone loadout. Whether this AR has what it takes to overthrow the NZ-41 remains to be seen, but for now, this weapon looks to be a worthy replacement in Season 4 Reloaded.

JoeWo reveals underrated Warzone BAR loadout perfect for Rebirth & Caldera Activision/JoeWoThe BAR can deliver some truly incredible damage in close to mid-range firefights, making it particularly potent on rebirth Island. Warzone streamer, JoeWo, has the perfect loadout that boosts this deadly AR’s damage. Vanguard’s BAR is one of the most underrated Assault Rifles in Warzone. While it may not be as strong as the STG44 or Cooper Carbine, it does have a great TTK if you kit it out with the best attachments. Despite having a methodical fire rate, this iconic WW2 weapon can down a fully armored enemy in just a few shots. In fact, JoeWo’s loadout greatly reduces the gun’s recoil and bolsters its fire rate, making it particularly lethal on Rebirth Island. So, if you’re looking for another AR option and wish to avoid any of the game’s meta picks, then this underrated BAR loadout is one you don’t want to miss. JoeWo’s best BAR Warzone loadout Attachments Muzzle: Recoil Booster – Barrel: CGC 30” XL – Optic: SVT-40 PU Scope 3-6x – Stock: Cooper SP – Underbarrel: M1941 Hand Stop – Magazine: 8mm Klauser 40 Rnd Mags – Ammunition: Lengthened – Rear Grip: Polymer Grip – Perk: Hardscope – Perk 2: Fully Loaded – Since this loadout is tailored towards Rebirth Island, JoeWo has utilized the Recoil Booster and 8mm Klauser 40 Rnd Mags. Both these attachments raise the gun’s fire rate, while also adding movement speed and reducing ADS time. This enables you to be a lot more reactive when seeking out your foes and helps you stay competitive in close-quarter scenarios. Next up is the CGC 30” XL, SVT-40 PU Scope 3-6x, Cooper SP, M1941 Hand Stop, and Polymer Grip. Timestamp of 1:00 All of these attachments greatly reduce the BAR’s recoil, which is one of the main drawbacks of this AR. Once these have been equipped, you’ll be able to simply point and click on your foes, without having to constantly worry about any severe recoil management. Combine this with the added recoil reduction from the Hardscope Perk and you have an incredibly precise AR. Meanwhile, Lengthened speeds up the BAR’s bullet velocity, which makes it easier to hit distant targets. Lastly, Fully Loaded and 8mm Klauser 40 Rnd Mags provide you with plenty of ammunition, which is important if you wish to avoid scouring the map for bullets.

JoeWo reveals the “most accurate” AR loadout in Warzone 2 YouTube: JoeWoWarzone 2 guru JoeWo compared the most popular ARs and LMGs, attempting to uncover the game’s most accurate weapon. As part of the Warzone 2 Season 2 update, the RPK, TAQ-V, and Kastov 762 received nerfs. Infinity Ward doubled down on February 24, nerfing all three weapons again. The meta-shakeup created a power vacuum in finding the next best long-range weapon. Season 2 introduced the ISO Hemlock, and the easy-to-use AR leads all WZ2 weapons with a 19.5% pick rate, according to WZRanked. Then TAQ-56 ranks second among popular ARs and has a measly pick rate of 5%. Players also turned their attention to the Sakin MG38 and Raal MG in the absence of the RPK, but LMGs suffer from poor mobility. JoeWo revealed the “most accurate” WZ2 AR, which doesn’t even rank within the game’s 25 most popular weapons. What is the most accurate AR in Warzone 2? JoeWo explained why the Lachmann 556 is getting overlooked by WZ2 players. “With Recoil being such a massive part of Warzone, trying to find a gun with the least recoil but has a lot of damage as well is very important.” JoeWo tested the Kastov 762 and TAQ-56 in the firing range and claimed poor recoil held them back. He also tested the Sakin MG38, and a slow fire rate proved to be the weapon’s downfall. He then showed off the Lachmann 556 and claimed, “this gun is insanely accurate, if not the most accurate AR in Warzone. You can put on the 60-round drum, and once you get to around 30 to 35 bullets, there is no more recoil.” The YouTuber used the loadout in the firing range and took his hand off the right stick, and the weapon stopped moving vertically about halfway through the magazine. Best Lachmann 556 Warzone 2 loadout Here is JoeWo’s Lachmann 556 loadout Muzzle: Komodo Heavy – Underbarrel: FTAC Ripper 56 – Ammunition: 5.56 High Velocity – Magazine: 60-Round Mag – Optic: Aim OP-V4 – Try this loadout if you struggle to control recoil on Al Mazrah or Ashika Island.

JoeWo reveals off-meta Warzone SMG with insane movement speed to dominate gunfights JoeWoWarzone’s SMG meta constantly changes with every new update, but JoeWo has discovered an underrated loadout that could give you the edge needed to win more close-quarter firefights. While the Marco 5 continues to be the dominant SMG in Warzone, there are times when a non-meta pick can prove just as useful. Not only does utilizing less popular guns help shake up your gameplay, but it can also provide an added element of surprise to your enemies. The movement speed god himself, JoeWoe, recently showcased a deadly Warzone SMG loadout that is perfect for close-quarter combat. In fact, this particular Vanguard weapon can give you a huge advantage on Rebirth Island and Fortune’s Keep. Whether you’re tired of the game’s best SMG loadouts or just wish to rely on your movement mechanics, this off-meta class will enable you to get an edge over your foes. JoeWo’s best Sten loadout Muzzle: Recoil Booster – Barrel: SA 65mm Rapid – Optic: Slate Reflector – Underbarrel: SG98 Compact – Stock: Gawain Para – Magazine: Lengthened – Ammunition: 7.62 Gorenko 36 round mags – Rear Grip: Taped Grip – Perk 1: Acrobatic – Perk 2: Quick – When equipped with the attachments outlined above, the Sten can become an absolute movement speed monster. In fact, during a recent livestream, JoeWo demonstrated just how potent it could be. In order to take this gun’s mobility to its very limits, the streamer has attached the following: Gawain Para, SG98 Compact, Taped Grip, Acrobatic, and Quick. When all of these attachments are equipped, you’ll be running rings around your foes in no time. The added mobility makes the Sten incredibly potent in close-quarter fights, where the added mobility can enable you to give your enemy the slip. Combine this with the added fire rate from the Recoil Booster, SA 65mm Rapid, 7.62 Gorenko 36 round mags – and you have a recipe for success. Lastly, the bullet velocity from Lengthened makes hitting distant targets a little more managed, while the Slate Reflector offers the perfect clarity without hindering your ADS speed at all. While the Sten may only have a 0.47% pick rate, the gun does make up for this with a whopping 2.05% win rate. So, if you’re looking for a new weapon to try out, then make sure to give JoeWo’s loadout a go.

JoeWo reveals meta Armaguerra 43 Warzone loadout that dominates Rebirth Island JoeWo/ActivisionThe Armaguerra 43 is one of the best SMGs in Warzone and JoeWo has a meta loadout that can give any player a huge advantage. While the Armaguerra 43 may not be as popular as the meta MP40 and Owen Gun loadouts, it currently has the highest KD and win rate in Warzone’s SMG class. This deadly weapon comes with a blisteringly fast rate of fire, which makes it particularly potent on Rebirth Island. After all, having a secondary that you can rely on in close-quarter engagements is incredibly important, particularly if you wish to maximize your kill potential. So, if you’re looking for the best Armaguerra loadout in Warzone, then JoeWo’s build is one you’ll definitely want to try. JoeWo’s best Armaguerra loadout Attachments Muzzle: Recoil Booster – Barrel: Botti 570mm Precisione – Optic: Slate Reflector – Stock: Imerito TA Skeletal – Underbarrel: M1941 Hand Stop – Magazine: 9mm 60 Round Mags – Ammo Type: Lengthened – Rear Grip: Fabric Grip – Perk: Sleight of Hand – Perk 2: Quick – JoeWo’s Armaguerra loadout is all about diminishing the gun’s recoil, while also pushing the pace. First up is the Recoil Booster, Botti 570mm Precisione, Imerito Skeletal, M1941 Hand Stop, and Fabric Grip. These attachments enable you to simply beam your targets without having to constantly adjust your aim. Read More: Best Warzone weapons – Because of the added precision, JoeWo has attached the Slate Reflector optic, which is fantastic for close-quarter scenarios. While you’ll predominantly be using this weapon during close-quarter engagements, the added bullet velocity does make hitting distant targets easier. Timestamp of 4:56 This is where the 9mm 60 Round Mags and Lengthened ammo type come in. While it’s unlikely you’ll find yourself reloading often, JoeWo has utilized the Sleight of Hand Perk. Combine this with the added speed from Quick and you have an insanely speedy weapon loadout. Make sure you give JoeWo’s meta Armaguerra build a go when you next drop into Rebirth Island to claim plenty of high killcount games.

JoeWo reveals major reason why he’s not competing in Warzone 2 yet JoeWoCall of Duty streamer JoeWo has revealed why he refuses to compete in Warzone 2 tournaments despite having vast amounts of in-game skill. Warzone 2 has certainly gotten off to a rough start – in fact, the game has been filled with various bugs and glitches that have impacted players’ enjoyment. However, one of the biggest problems facing Warzone 2 right now, is the frustrating dev error that completely ruins matches. Check out the best Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals on Amazon This annoying glitch instantly kicks those affected out of the lobby and can put an end to any hope of winning a match. Not only is the Warzone 2 dev error extremely infuriating, but it can instantly ruin even the most patient player’s day. JoeWo put off tournament play by Warzone 2 dev errors JoeWo isn’t the only Call of Duty content creator who has been affected, as Aydan famously got a dev error during a $100K event. This instantly put his team at a huge disadvantage and they had to play the tournament with a man down. Fortunately, the Warzone pro’s squad was able to claim a third-place finish despite having such a huge disadvantage. While a number of CoD streamers have been keen to flex their skills in tournaments despite the dev error issue, JoeWo has outright refused to even entertain this notion. “I’m not playing any tournaments or wagers until they fix the dev error thing,” said JoeWo. “I’m tired of literally, technically winning but we lose because of a dev error. I’m not playing, I’m saving my sanity because that’s the most annoying thing ever.” The developers have yet to issue a fix for the Warzone 2 dev error, but there is a temporary fix that you can use. Of course, this isn’t ideal and hopefully, Raven Software can address the issue in the future. If you click on a product link on this page we may earn a small affiliate commission.

JoeWo reveals lightning-fast Welgun loadout to dominate Warzone JoeWo/ActivisionThe Welgun continues to be a popular pick in Warzone Season 2, especially in the SMG category. To help increase your KDA, JoeWo has revealed his deadly Welgun loadout that is perfect for both Caldera and Rebirth Island. Warzone is home to plenty of lethal SMGs, but one that is proving incredibly dominant is the Welgun. This old-school weapon was added with the Vanguard integration and it has quickly become one of the best SMGs in Warzone’s current meta. Not only does it come packed with a blisteringly fast rate of fire, but it also gives players a huge amount of movement speed. In fact, JoeWo’s Welgun loadout enables you to run rings around your foes, giving you a huge advantage in close-quarters scenarios. Whether you’re tired of the game’s MP40 loadout or just wish to rely on your movement mechanics, this Welgun class will enable you to get a dominant edge over your foes. JoeWo’s best Welgun loadout Muzzle: Recoil Booster – Barrel: 120mm Gawain Short Barrel – Optic: Slate Reflector – Stock: Removed Stock – Underbarrel: m1941 Hand Stop – Magazine: 7.62 Gorenko 40 Round Mags – Ammunition: Lengthened – Rear Grip: Fabric Grip – Perk: Fleet – Perk 2: Quick – The Welgun has quickly risen up the Warzone meta rankings, firmly placing itself amongst the best SMGs in the game. To demonstrate just how devastating this punchy gun can be, JoeWo has created the perfect Welgun loadout to maximize movement speed. Read More: Warzone server status: Is Warzone down? – By utilizing the Removed Stock, 7.62 Gorenko 40 Round Mags, and Fabric Grip, players can whizz around the map. This makes aggressive pushes and deadly flanks incredibly easy. Timestamp of 1:56 In order to increase the Welgun’s fire rate and bullet velocity, JoeWo has attached the Recoil Booster, 120mm Gawain Short Barrel, Lengthened ammo type. Meanwhile, the m1941 Hand Stop and 7.62 Gorenko 40 Round Mags alleviate a lot of the gun’s vertical recoil. Because of this, players can use the Slate Reflector to instantly zap onto an enemy’s head and beam them down without the need for any significant recoil management. Lastly, the Fleet Perk provides a decent boost to movement and weapon swap speeds. Make sure to give this Welgun loadout a go next time you drop into Rebirth Island or Caldera, and sprint rings around your opponents.

JoeWo reveals lightning-fast Cooper Carbine Warzone loadout ActivisionThe Cooper Carbine is one of the best Assault Rifles in Warzone thanks to its incredibly fast rate of fire. In order to help increase your kill potential, JoeWo has revealed his deadly Cooper Carbine loadout that dominates in Season 3. While the STG44 may be the current king in Warzone’s best AR category, those who prefer the run and gun approach to combat will want to utilize the Cooper Carbine. Not only is this gun incredibly easy to use, but it also has a lightning-fast fire rate. This makes it particularly useful in both close to mid-range firefights. Because of this, the Cooper Carbine currently has a 4.90% pick rate, putting it just below the Owen Gun and MP40. So, if you want an Assault Rifle that you can rely on in both Caldera and Rebirth Island, then JoeWo’s Cooper Carbine loadout is a fantastic choice. JoeWo’s Cooper Carbine Warzone loadout Here’s how JoeWo decks out his Cooper Carbine in Warzone: Muzzle: Mercury Silencer – Barrel: 22” Cooper Custom – Optic: G16 2.5x – Stock: Cooper 45W – Underbarrel: M1941 Hand Stop – Magazine: 9mm 60 Round Drums – Ammunition: Lengthened – Rear Grip: Polymer Grip – Perk 1: Tight Grip – Perk 2: Fully Loaded – To make the Cooper Carbine as precise as possible, JoeWo has opted for attachments that drastically lower the gun’s recoil. First up is the Mercury Silencer, Cooper 45W, M1941 Hand Stop, and Polymer Grip. When these attachments are equipped, the Cooper Carbine barely moves when fired. This enables you to purely focus on your movement and positioning, giving you tremendous amounts of kill potential across close to mid-range engagements. The huge reduction in recoil also enables players to utilize the G16 2.5x Optic. The increased magnification is great for seeking out those all-important body shots and headshots, especially on Caldera where engagement ranges are a little more distant. Timestamp of 1.27 Next up is the 9mm 60 Rnd Drums and Lengthened rounds. The magazine features increased recoil control, fire rate, ADS speed, and plenty of ammo to down multiple enemies. Meanwhile, the ammo type simply bolsters the Cooper Carbine’s bullet velocity. Combine this with the added damage from the 22” Cooper Custom Barrel, and you have an incredibly hard-hitting AR that can quickly down even the most well-armored foe. Lastly, JoeWo rounds off his Cooper Carbine loadout with the Fully Loaded and Tight Grip Perks. The added ammunition and accuracy provided by these picks make this AR even more viable pick. So, there you have it, an incredibly versatile and reliable Cooper Carbine loadout you can use to gain a competitive advantage in Warzone Season 3.

JoeWo reveals elite Warzone 2 loadout for both Al Mazrah & Ashika Island JoeWoJoeWo’s new Warzone 2 loadout is perfect for both Al Mazrah and Ashika Island thanks to its simplicity and ease of use. JoeWo is still putting wins on the board like few others in Warzone 2, and as always, he’s helping other players cross the gap between causal and pro. The streamer’s new loadout isn’t one that will blow the minds of dedicated fans, but as a duo they’re so potent that he has encouraged everyone to pick them up and give them a shot. The full class covers a good range of distances as well, so it’s easy enough to pick it up and give it a run in both Al Mazrah and Ashika Island. JoeWo’s elite Al Mazrah & Ashika Island Warzone 2 loadout JoeWo revealed the class in a March 26 video in which he absolutely dominated two different Warzone 2 matches. He was rocking the ISO Hemlock in the primary slot while backing it up with a high strafe speed Vaznev for those up-close encounters. These weapons are already popular picks on their own in Warzone 2 but JoeWo believes that they’re nearly untouched together. Here’s his loadout for both: JoeWo’s Warzone 2 ISO Hemlock class Barrel: Fielder T50 (+0.50, +0.40) – Muzzle: Harbinger D20 (+1.40, +0.87) – Underbarrel: FTAC Ripper 56 (+0.67, +0.36) – Magazine: 45-Round Mag – Optic: AIM-OP V4 – JoeWo’s Vaznev class Laser: FSS OLE-V (-0.44, -39.48) – Muzzle: Lockshot KT85 (-0.57, +0.28) – Stock: Otrezat Stock (-4.00, -2.40) – Rear Grip: True Tac Rear Grip (-0.65, -0.41) – Magazine: 45-Round Mag – For those who haven’t tried it, the Hemlock is Warzone 2’s answer to the ACR of Call of Duty’s past. It shoots remarkably straight, and while it doesn’t have elite damage, the ease in handling more than makes up for it. The Vaznev is all about those short-range fights where strafing around enemies is the key to survival, and no gun quite competes with it on that level.

JoeWo reveals “disgusting” movement speed Blixen Warzone loadout Activision/JoeWoThe H4 Blixen is the latest SMG to be added to both Vanguard and Warzone in the Season 3 Reloaded update. So, if you’re looking for the best build, then JoeWo’s meta Blixen loadout will increase your win rate in no time. Ever since its introduction in Warzone in Season 3 Reloaded, the H4 Blixen has proven incredibly popular. Not only does this highly versatile SMG come packed with a high rate of fire, but the gun’s mid-range damage capabilities make it extremely potent. In fact, the Blixen is currently the third-best SMG in the game – sitting directly behind the MP40 and Type 100. Having a deadly secondary weapon you can rely on is extremely important, especially during close-quarter scenarios. JoeWo’s best Blixen loadout Muzzle: Recoil Booster – Barrel: Karlsson 17” Custom – Optic: Monocular Reflector – Stock: Removed Stock – Underbarrel: SG98 Compact – Magazine: 2 Gorenko 54 Round Mags – Ammo Type: Lengthened – Rear Grip: Grooved Grip – Perk 1: Fleet – Perk 2: Quick – Unlike our own Blixen loadout, JoeWo has built his SMG for movement and strafe speed. This enables him to run rings around his opponents, which can lead to some incredibly quick kills. To maximize this speed, the SG98 Compact, Grooved Grip, Removed Stock, Fleet, Quick, 2 Gorenko 54 Round Mags, and Karlsson 17” Custom. These attachments not only raise your movement, but they also help with ADS speed – an area that is incredibly important during close-quarter scenarios. Read More: Best Warzone settings on PC to increase FPS – The Recoil Booster offers a 5% increase to the gun’s fire rate, which synergizes well with the bullet velocity from the Lenghthend Perk. This makes hitting mid-range targets much easier, while also providing a nice boost to the Blixen’s DPS. Timestamp of 18:58 Lastly, the Monocular Reflector provides just enough magnification to make it useable in both close-quarter and mid-range engagements. Of course, if you’re finding this Optic annoying to use, then you can always switch it out for the Slate Reflector. So, there you have it, a deadly Blixen loadout that you can use to aggressively rush down your opponents in Warzone Season 3.

JoeWo reveals Cold War AK-47 Warzone loadout that shreds on Caldera Activision/JoeWoThe Cold War AK-47 may not be as popular as the Cooper Carbine or Automaton in Warzone, but JoeWo has a lethal loadout that demonstrates why it’s still a solid pick on Caldera. While Warzone Season 3 is just around the corner, many players will be looking for new loadouts to try when the game’s update drops. While the current AR meta is still dominated by the likes of the Cooper Carbine and Automaton, Warzone streamer JoeWo has brought back an old classic. Unlike its Modern Warfare counterpart, the Cold War AK-47 is actually a viable option. Not only does it have great damage, but this punchy AR can absolutely decimate foes in close to mid-range firefights. In fact, if you learn to control the AK-47’s recoil, then you can down multiple opponents within seconds. So, if you’re looking for a non-meta AR or just wish to dust off a classic Cold War pick, then JoeWo’s AK-47 loadout will enable you to do just that. JoeWo’s best Cold War AK-47 loadout Muzzle: GRU Suppressor – Barrel: 20″ Liberator – Optic: Axial Arms 3x – Underbarrel: Spetsnaz Grip – Ammunition: 45 Rnd Mags – JoeWo’s AK-47 loadout utilizes attachments that greatly decrease the gun’s vertical and horizontal recoil. In fact, the GRU Suppressor, 20″ Liberator Barrel, and Axial Arms 3x all help to keep the gun more stable when fired. While you’ll still need to drag down on your mouse/analog stick during prolonged engagements, the gun won’t bounce all over the screen. This is particularly useful as it enables players to utilize the Axial Arms 3x, which is extremely useful for landing those all-important head and body shots. To help mitigate the slower ADS time from the Axial Arms, JoeWo has attached the Spetsnaz Grip, which helps speed up the time needed to look down the gun’s sights. You’ll still need to switch to your SMG during close-quarter fights, but the added speed here can help with quicker target acquisition. Lastly, the 45 Rnd Mags enable you to cut through multiple targets’ armor and eliminate them within one clip. The limited ammo capacity of the AK-47 may seem rather daunting at first, but the high damage per shot more than makes up for this. The Cold War AK-47 may no longer be a meta pick in Warzone, but JoeWo’s loadout proves there’s still a place for this CoD classic.

JoeWo recreates “doof doof” Warzone meta with insane fire shotgun loadout ActivisionThe “doof doof” shotgun meta was one of the most frustrating metas in Warzone history, as squads ran rampant with their fire shotguns, making any kind of close-quarters gunfight impossible. Now, Twitch streamer JoeWo might have brought it back, as gruesome as ever. The doof doof meta tore apart Verdansk at one point, during a time where everybody was playing it — meaning everybody was either using the OP shotguns, or upset at constantly being killed by them. For the most part since then, shotguns have struggled to gain much relevancy in the Warzone meta, with adequate nerfs meaning they couldn’t dominate like they once did. While that has remained true in the Modern Warfare 3 integration, a new dawn may be on the horizon as this shotgun loadout from JoeWo looks absolutely lethal, with the streamer himself describing it as the perfect counter to “stackers.” JoeWo’s “doof doof” shotgun loadout Dominating with the gun in Vondel but able to use it across any map, JoeWo’s Haymaker loadout in Warzone looks seriously lethal. Here’s how he builds it out: Muzzle: Bryson Improved Choke – Barrel: Imperator Long Barrel – Stock: No Stock Mod – Ammunition: 12 Gauge Dragon’s Breath – Magazine: 20 Round Drum – Of course, the real kicker here is the Dragon’s Breath (fire) rounds which, coupled with a 20 Round drum magazine, is absolutely deadly and can down multiple enemies in one clip. In this video, JoeWo pairs his shotty with the TAQ Eradicator LMG that has been slowly creeping into the Warzone meta. Be warned when using this gun though — don’t be surprised if your opponents start fighting fire with fire (literally).

JoeWo explains why the X12 is the best gun in Warzone 2 thanks to one attachment YouTube: JoeWoWe are still early in establishing a concrete meta for Warzone 2, but JoeWo explained why the X12 is the best gun in Warzone 2. Modern Warfare 2 received its first weapon balancing update on November 16. Some of the game’s most popular weapons received much-needed-nerfs but nothing consequential enough to alter the meta. Warzone 2’s fast time-to-kill (TTK) makes it hard to differentiate between the battle royale’s best weapons. Players tend to gravitate toward weapons with high bullet velocity, damage per second, and fast TTK speed. Check out our weapon tier list if you are looking for the 10 best Warzone 2 weapons. One weapon that didn’t make our tier list is the X12 pistol. The unassuming starter pistol doesn’t jump off the page as a powerful weapon, but Warzone YouTuber JoeWo believes it is the best weapon in Warzone 2 with the help of an essential attachment. JoeWo reveals devastating X12 loadout In his latest YouTube video, joeWo explained why and showed an example of how powerful the X12 pistol can be. He claimed, “I have the literal most broken class in Warzone 2.” As the YouTube thumbnail suggests, the secret behind the loadout is using the akimbo rear grip attachment, allowing you to use two pistols simultaneously. JoeWo hopped into a Duo Quads match and dropped a whopping 25 kills with the akimbo X12s before having his magical run cut short by a game crash plaguing the battle royale since launch. Here is JoeWo’s X12 loadout. Barrel: XRK Sidewinder-6 Slide – Muzzle: FT Steel Fire – Trigger Action: XRK Lightning Fire – Laser: 1MW Pistol Laser – Rear Grip: Akimbo X12 – Unlike Modern Warfare 2, it is not possible to change your perk package in Warzone 2. Players are forced to choose between preset perk packages. Only one package features Overkill, which allows you to carry two primary weapons, and the other perks in that package are not desirable. With that in mind, using this X12 loadout prevents the need to run a second primary weapon, allowing you to use a better perk package. JoeWo uses the Warden perk package with fast hands as one of the perks. Fast hands increases reload speed and speed when changing weapons, which will come in handy when using an X12 loadout. If you need help leveling up the X12 pistol, check out our guide on how to rank up fast.

JoeWo claims Warzone 2 “isn’t ready” for a Resurgence mode JoeWoIf insider leaks are to be believed, Warzone 2 will be getting its own version of Resurgence – but JoeWo believes the game “isn’t ready” for the notoriously fast-paced gameplay that previously defined the mode. JoeWo, the Movement King of Warzone, knows a thing or two about the franchise. The popular content creator consistently showed off his ability to break ankles and take down confounded enemies in the first game and he’s still taking over lobbies in the sequel. That kind of experience means his insight on the game is well-informed, and with the prospect of a Resurgence mode arriving with the Season 2 update, JoeWo joined the Pullze Check podcast to share why he believes the game needs a serious facelift before the mode is viable. JoeWo explains why Warzone 2’s mechanics will hurt Resurgence mode Talking to Repullze, LuckyChamu, and JGOD, Joe explained that he feels there is a long list of mechanics that need to be updated if WZ2 hopes to recreate what it had before. “I don’t think it’s going to be ready,” he stated. “It’s not going to play like everybody played Fortune’s Keep and Rebirth. [People played those] for fast-paced, more action, quicker games.” He further highlighted the drastic shift in how long it takes to play a full game on Al Mazrah, with the panel agreeing that it can regularly take up to 30 minutes to finish a match. “Some people are trying to take a quick Rebirth game for 10 or 15 minutes, and unless they change dramatically, it’s not going to play like people are expecting,” he wrapped up. That kind of pacing has been a hot topic in the community after recent reports suggested that Warzone 2’s player count plummeted toward the end of 2022. Nadeshot highlighted it as one of the wishlist items he hopes Infinity Ward and Raven Software will look to change going forward as well.

JoeWo claims Warzone 2 feels “brand-new” after Season 2 improvements JoeWoJoeWo was a major critic of Warzone 2 prior to the Season 2 update, but now the battle royale’s resident ‘Movement King’ believes things are turning around. Joseph ‘JoeWo’ Wohala was nearly impossible to avoid back in Warzone’s initial heyday. Viral clips of him outplaying helpless opponents were all over the internet at the game’s prime. He’s still going strong after the switch to Warzone 2, but the game’s slower pacing meant that those kinds of highlights were done and dusted for the time being. After the Season 2 update though, the game got a serious speed buff and Wohala believes it’s back to being fun again. JoeWo explains how Warzone 2 Season 2 redeemed the game in his eyes The ankle-breaker was running some Al Mazrah solos when a fan asked what he thought of the game after the update, and he didn’t hold back when praising the February 15 update changes. “The overall state of the game has been amazing…before this update, I was not having fun, and I got a feeling a lot of people weren’t having fun. But now with the new movement, plating & running, it’s like playing a brand-new game.” “Overall though, it’s so much better now…[no longer] being stuck in place every time that you’re shot, you can’t plate and run. You can’t do anything, you’re just frozen.” He also cited the 25% Armor Plating speed increase as a major reason it feels better, as players were annoyed over how slow the animation was in comparison to the original game. Wohala wrapped up by saying that smaller problems, like the ADS speed or strafe speed of certain weapons, could be adjusted to make things even better. The overall fan reaction has mirrored JoeWo’s thoughts as players are still enjoying the fresh changes to the game and the arrival of the all-new Ashika Island map.

JoeWo claims the CDL held Warzone in a “chokehold” during Verdansk era ActivisionWarzone viewership and competitive interest peaked in 2021, and JoeWoe explained why it will be hard to achieve the same success in WZ2. According to Stream Charts, Warzone 1 accomplished a peak concurrent viewership of 1.6 million viewers, and tournaments played a major factor. Esports Charts recorded over 440,000 people tuning in for the 2021 World Series of Warzone. The website also tracked a total prize pool of over $6.3 million from every tournament combined that year. If you compare those numbers to Warzone 2, just north of 55,000 is the highest viewership and the total amount of money handed out plummeted to $49,000. A staggering decline in the esports battle royal scene could boil down to less overall interest. However, Warzone streamer JoeWo believes CDL restrictions make it harder for the Warzone 2 esports scene to thrive. Did the CDL hold Warzone esports back? During a recording of the Pullze Check podcast, JoeWo claimed: “The CDL has a chokehold on our game, and it’s sad.” He elaborated that there were more eyes on Warzone tournaments than the CDL during Warzone 1’s peak with the Verdansk map. JoeWo said sponsors were willing to throw in money, but CDL organizations didn’t want the battle royale to take their eyes away from its league matches. It costs $25 million for an organization to purchase a spot in the Call of Duty League. JoeWo looked at it from an organization’s perspective and wondered if purchasing a team over signing Warzone players was worth it. “Why would I ever pay $25 million dollars for a CDL spot and then have to pay a salary which is inflated for all of these players when I can just sign a few Warzone players, and they are competing for the same money at times as the CDL is?” A good example is CDL legend Scump, who competed in the 2021 WSOW while still playing with OpTic. The former professional CoD player won $100,000 by winning the Solo YOLO Tournament. For comparison winning a CDL major that season won teams $200,000. JoeWo took to Twitter and added: “Many of those (Warzone 1) tournaments stopped in Warzone 2 because we need CDL approval.” He claimed that sponsors are willing to host six-figure tournaments, but there is now a capped dollar amount for Warzone prize pools. This makes it less appealing for CDL pros to have an interest in playing the battle royale. Hopefully, WZ2 Ranked boosts competitive interest, just as it did when MW2 Ranked Play launched.

JoeWo claims ‘overlooked’ Cold War AR is the best replacement for the NZ-41 YouTube: JoeWoJoeWo is one of the most notable names in all of Warzone. Best known for his ridiculous movement skills, he’s also a reliable source for all the latest meta updates as well. After trying out an old Cold War AR, he’s decided that it’s the frontrunner to replace the NZ-41 right now. JoeWo is known for absolutely destroying Warzone lobbies with his signature mobility, but that doesn’t mean he’s not clued into the latest trends in weapon balancing as well. The NZ-41 was hands-down the most effective weapon in the game for a long time, but after an early Season 4 nerfs, it’s time to crown a new king of the meta and Joe believes he’s locked in on a great option. JoeWo reveals which gun will replace the NZ-41 in Warzone’s meta After a few games of getting hands-on with it on Rebirth Island and Fortune’s Keep, the streamer believes Cold War’s Grav is set to take center stage for the time being. He made this claim in a July 9 YouTube video and went on to show some unbelievable gameplay to back it up. “A viewer recommended me to use the Grav again and I was like ‘there’s no way that gun is good’…so I brought it out and it was frying,” he said. In the first game, Joe jumps into Rebirth and puts on a clinic en route to 26 kills, but gets taken out just shy of winning the game. Throughout the match, the Grav picks up kills with wild speed, leaving the seasoned vet stunned for most of the match. His good luck continued on Fortune’s Keep, picking up 31 kills and a ‘W’ in an even harder steamroll of the competition than before. There are other guns vying for the top spot, but if his gameplay is anything to go by, the Grav could be set up for major success this season.

JoeWo builds “stupidly broken” Warzone MP-40 loadout despite Season 2 nerfs ActivisionWarzone players have stepped away from using the MP-40 as Season 2 saw some heavy nerfs come its way. But, JoeWo is back on the wave and created a new loadout that people are calling busted. When Vanguard was integrated into Warzone, Caldera was infested with MP-40 users. It was the most popular close-range gun for the entirety of Season 1, so, to little surprise, it was nerfed. This saw the likes of the Welgun and Owen Gun soar up in the meta and it seemed like the once-dominant MP-40 was being sent to collect dust. However, Warzone’s Movement King JoeWo isn’t ready to vault it, and he’s created a new loadout that he thinks is the best SMG right now. JoeWo presents new Warzone MP-40 build In a tweet on March 16, Joe believes that he has found the new setup for the MP-40 that dominates in every aspect. Am I faded or is this better than the Welly… pic.twitter.com/QSbwiRd1mG — JoeWo (@AverageJoeWo) March 17, 2022 If you’re looking for his attachments, then look right below as we have listed them all for you. Muzzle: Recoil Booster – Barrel: VDD 189mm Short – Optic: Slate Reflector – Stock: Krausnick 33M Folding – Underbarrel: M1941 Hand Stop – Magazine: 7.62 Gorenko 45 Round Mags – Ammo Type: Lengthened – Rear Grip: Stippled Grip – Perk: Brace – Perk 2: Quick – The main difference in this setup to last season’s is the use of the VDD 189mm Short and Stippled Grip, as these two attachments help out with the rate of fire and sprint to fire. It seems that JoeWo isn’t the only person that’s back on the MP-40 hype train, as another Twitter user and Warzone player ‘Halfordsucks’ uses nearly the same build. This thing is actually stupidly broken 😳 pic.twitter.com/zzGZvPQwfV — Halfordsucks (@Halfordsucks) March 16, 2022 Halfordsucks claims that this new MP-40 is “stupidly broken” and other people were on board, like content creator Mavriq. They replied to Joe agreeing that it is definitely better than the current SMG meta and has a “quicker TTK than the Type 100.” According to WZRanked, the MP-40 is still the most-used Vanguard SMG, but despite its popularity it has dropped to under a 1.0 K/D when used. However, that was before people discovered this new build that just might take the close-range throne back.

JoeWo blasts Modern Warfare 2 weapon attachment grind: “It’s really bad” JoeWoCall of Duty streamer JoeWo believes the Modern Warfare 2 attachment grind is negatively dividing the playerbase and leading to unfair in-game experiences for casual fans. One of the defining features of the Call of Duty series is the ability to make custom loadouts. It’s here where players can use the Gunsmith feature to kit out their favorite weapons with attachments tailored towards certain playstyles and stats. However, unlike the previous entries, the Modern Warfare 2 gunsmith takes the attachment grind to the next level. Instead of just ranking up one gun to unlock all of its possible attachments, multiple guns now must be used to acquire certain gear. Due to this, Call of Duty streamer JoeWo believes the current Modern Warfare 2 attachment grind is drastically impacting players’ enjoyment of the game. JoeWo slams Modern Warfare 2 attachment grind During his recent Modern Warfare 2 stream, JoeWo gave a perfect example of how ridiculous the current grind is. He used the Lachmann-762 as an example, showcasing how players would need to level up the RAPP H to gain access to the 10.6” Lachstrike barrel. However, the RAPP H is only unlocked when you get the Lachmann-556 to level 16. While this may not be a problem for streamers and other players who have time to invest in Modern Warfare 2’s multiplayer it does leave the casual playerbase behind. “How is the casual player ever going to have a loadout that’s decent? Like, the casual player is just not going to have good guns. It’s going to be so bad for them. They’re not going to have fun, they’re going to be fighting me with a freaking max level M4, explained the streamer. Whether the developers will adjust the current time investment needed to unlock attachments in Modern Warfare 2 remains to be seen, but for now, JoeWo is adamant that this decision will negatively impact the casual playerbase.

JoeWo believes competitive Warzone 2 could be “way bigger” than the CDL Infinity WardJoeWo doesn’t have much faith in Warzone 2 ever becoming a competitive title, but if it did, he believes it would surpass the CDL. The Call of Duty League moved from YouTube to Twitch for the 2023 season, and the transition worked wonders. CDL Major 2 attracted more viewers than almost every other CoD esports event in history, reaching a peak viewer count of over 300,000 between the mainstream and watch parties. Competitive CoD also received a major boost with the introduction of Ranked Play. Modern Warfare 2 Twitch viewership numbers skyrocketed, increasing by over 4.2 million in total hours watched. CharlieINTEL reported MW2 surpassed Warzone 2 viewership. WZ2 is finally receiving a ranked mode, and JoeWo claimed it would be more popular than the CDL under the right circumstances. JoeWo and Fifakill discuss the future of competitive Warzone Call of Duty hosts the annual World Series of Warzone event and sporadically hosts LAN tournaments such as the C.O.D.E Bowl, but there isn’t an official franchised league like the CDL. Warzone 2 competitive player Fifakill and JoeWo debated whether or not the battle royale could ever be a successful esport. Warzone 2 also added custom servers in the Season 2 update, allowing competitive players to host wager tournaments. A competitive mode could open the door for casual players to take their game to the next level, but JoeWo doesn’t necessarily see it that way. “I came to the competitive conclusion that this game will never be a truly competitive game at all or ever.” Fifakill chimed in, “I think the biggest problem with Warzone competitive is they don’t want it to take away from the CDL.” Joe agreed, arguing, “I guarantee it would be way bigger.” Feef added, “If Warzone had a league like the CDL did, all of the CDL players would just play Warzone anyways.” It will be interesting to see if Warzone 2 undergoes a similar boost in competitive interest when the ranked mode eventually releases.

Joe Rogan baffled by how “crazy” Warzone cheating has become Activision/JREEven Joe Rogan can’t believe how out-of-control cheating in Call of Duty has become compared to back when he was an avid player. World-famous podcast host and UFC commentator Joe Rogan was stunned after seeing the extent to which players will go to to cheat in Warzone. On the March 1 episode of The Joe Rogan Experience, the former Fear Factor host spoke with comedian Dan Soder about Call of Duty and how players get upset as campers and snipers dominate games. “You’re gonna get mad at snipers in a war? Shut the f**k up, that’s part of the war. Snipers and cheating,” he joked before turning his full attention onto hackers. Joe Rogan stunned by modern Call of Duty cheaters According to Rogan, cheating was a big issue back when he used to play too, but he had no idea that things had gotten so bad. “There are bots. Guys would have these aim bots and they would never miss. So they would kill you and every time they kill you, they would be fully armored. They’d have all the weapons and then they’d know exactly where you’re gonna be and they’d kill you again, they’d kill you again, they’d kill you again,” he vented. While the cheaters would eventually die, they’d just keep coming back, infuriating the JRE host, who was taken aback by the gameplay pulled up on screen. Joe and Dan went on to learn that some people even subscribe to cheat providers each month giving them access to a suite of aimbots, wall hacks and other nefarious tools. “That makes me mad,” Soder admitted. “Those are all cheats?!” Joe gasped. “That’s crazy. How do you prevent that?” Unfortunately for the CoD community, it doesn’t seem like even Activision has figured that out. Just recently, cheaters found a way to avoid RICOCHET anti-cheat completely. Nadeshot even went as far as supporting ID requirements to play Call of Duty and prison sentences for anyone convicted of cheating in online games.

Joe ‘MerK’ DeLuca Gives his Thoughts on the Scump Retirement Talk Call of Duty caster and former pro Joe ‘MerK’ DeLuca has weighed in on the future of OpTic Gaming’s Seth ‘Scump’ Abner during an interview with Dexerto. OpTic Gaming failed to meet their lofty standards at yet another major event after crashing out at the CWL Stage 2 Playoffs, leading some to speculate the Scump will not be competing much longer. Scump even took personal responsibility for OpTic’s performance and looked distraught after the matches. However, MerK is not ready for the end of Scump’s legendary career. Do I think he is coming to the end of his career potentially? I hope not. He gave some of the reasons why he thinks Scump is slowing down and they are not related to a declining skill or talent. I think it’s just one of those things where, maybe [Scump] doesn’t have as much love for the game as some of the up and coming guys. It is a very tough job, you have to play 5 to 8 hours a day and a lot of those guys get burnt out. Scump and former teammate Formal had their dedication to Call of Duty questioned during the OpTic Gaming roster shake up, leading to the break up of one of the most successful teams of all time. Rumors circulated that OpTic was not practicing enough due to everything from personality clashes to bad internet to not liking the game. Scump was able to fight through the potential CoD fatigue and stay on for the new OpTic roster, MerK thinks his love of competition outweighed any negatives he had with the game. He even offered advice to the rattled Scump following the self-deprecating tweets. What would I say to him/ I’d say don’t worry about it. What is this your first time in how many years where you can personally say ‘I costed my team?’… For him to have a performance like this is rare… I think he’ll be fine [for the Call of Duty Championship]. Few are more qualified than MerK to give advice to a CoD star approaching the end of competing, much like Scump, he is a former Champion with OpTic Gaming who had to deal with burnout at the end of his career. Merk was asked about what went into his decision to retire from competing in 2016. For me personally, my circle of players was gone. Rambo was gone, Big T was gone, JKap was off winning. The guys you rely on to have your back and put you back on a team, they were gone for me. If Scump was to get dropped – I don’t think he will… I highly doubt it – but he would have plenty of people to pick him back up and get him on a top team. The Call of Duty Championships take place on August 15-19 for the final CoD: WW2 event of the year. Scump’s future may depend on his Champs placing and how he feels about the next title, Black Ops 4.

JKap wishes he never won CoD World Championships under Denial Esports, here’s why ActivisionProfessional CoD player Jordan ‘Call of Duty Advanced Warfare World Championship had been won for “any other” organization. JKap is one of the few men to have lifted Call of Duty’s richest prize, securing the Advanced Warfare World Championship alongside James ‘Clayster’ Eubanks, Dillon ‘Attach’ Price and James ‘Crowder’ Crowder as part of Denial Esports. The team were classed as underdogs at the time, with few thinking they could go all the way in the esports’ biggest tournament, but managed to beat another surprise finalist in Team Revenge to secure victory the $400,000 winner’s purse. JKap wishes he hadn’t won CoD Championships with Denial For many, winning the World Championship in your chosen field is the pinnacle of their career, and while it’s unlikely that JKap wishes he hadn’t won the tournament at all, he has expressed regret in terms of the organization he was representing at the time. In a tweet posted on May 15, JKap stated: “In hindsight, I wish we had won that world championship for any other [organization] but Denial. The [organization] would’ve fallen off to well deserved irrelevancy long ago if not for that.” In hindsight, I wish we had won that world championship for any other org but Denial. The org would’ve fallen off to well deserved irrelevancy long ago if not for that. Then they had the audacity to use it in a roast against ELV (I think) earlier this year as if they earned it — Jordan Kaplan (@JKap415) May 15, 2019 Teammate Attach shared the sentiment, replying: “I think us [four] can all agree on that. We made people think Denial was a top tier organization. To see everything they’ve done [and] been doing for years is terrible.” I think us 4 can all agree on that, We made people think Denial was a top tier organization. To see everything they’ve done/been doing for years is terrible. — Dillon Price (@Attach) May 15, 2019 Players and organizations claim lack of payment from Denial Overtime Esports, the team who owned the spot that Denial Esports purchased to enter the CWL Pro League, have claimed that they are still owed “several tens of thousands of euros” from the sale which took place on January 28. Nathan ‘Natshay’ Dupuis, who played for Denial from the time of the sale up until April 19, has also stated that he has yet to be paid any salary by the organization. This isn’t the first time that Denial have been in trouble for apparently failing to make payments. When current CEO Zachary Smith took over Denial, he paid off debts that had been outstanding from the organization’s previous owners, who had not paid salaries to players. Following the statements released by Overtime and Natshay, Smith responded by saying that the reason Natshay failed to receive any payments from Denial was due to “existing immigration laws regarding work authorization and visas,” and in a statement, announced that he was stepping away from running the day-to-day operations of Denial. Strategic Advisor Jerry Nguyen will be promoted to Chief Strategy Officer in his stead, and will take over control of operations at the controversial org.

JKap sparks debate after calling Modern Warfare “worst CoD ever” Call of Duty pros have given their two cents on Modern Warfare from a competitive standpoint and the forecast isn’t great, as we head into the first ever franchised league for the first-person shooter. As with every new Call of Duty, Infinity Ward’s Modern Warfare revamp has been subject to plenty of criticism. Although the revitalized create-a-class system bodes well for weapon customization, the map pool (or lack thereof) has been scorned by pros and casual players alike. Regardless, with the official launch of the Call of Duty League announced for January 24 and the first official ruleset for competitive Modern Warfare released, teams will be starting to hone in on the competitive elements of their gameplay. However, given that Infinity Ward cannot simply tailor their game to its competitive demographic, noted pros are already beginning to doubt whether franchising will be successful on this iteration of Call of Duty. One notable opinion is none other than veteran pro, Jordan ‘JKap’ Kaplan, whose plethora of experience in CoD esports dates back to the original Modern Warfare (otherwise known as Call of Duty 4). The two-time world champ conveyed his frustrations on Twitter by referring to a spectrum of issues from the map pool and attachment system, to the reintroduction of killstreaks: “It’s clear this game just wasn’t made with competitive in mind AT ALL… It’s just super obvious. Very disheartening with franchising starting.” It’s clear this game just wasn’t made with competitive in mind AT ALL. From the maps to the perks to the attachment system to REVERTING BACK TO KILLSTREAKS to THE INSANE AMOUNT OF 10V10 AND 32V32 MAPS, it’s just super obvious. Very disheartening with franchising starting 🙁 — Jordan Kaplan (@JKap415) October 30, 2019 Fellow world champ, Adam ‘KiLLa’ Sloss responded to the Kaplan’s tweet with a more promising outlook, stating: “Call of Duty was never built for competitive, we always made it work.” JKap acknowledged Sloss’ comment and expanded on his initial tweet by implying that Modern Warfare is “the worst CoD ever for casual and competitive”, before prompting KiLLa with the question: “Are you saying the game is fine as is?” No shit man, I know that. The point is with a franchised league, I was hoping it’d be different. Instead we got the worst CoD ever for casual and competitive. Are you saying the game is fine as is? — Jordan Kaplan (@JKap415) October 30, 2019 Perhaps hot under the collar, Sloss responded: “What I’m saying is (that) y’all are bad business. The whole concept of a franchise is to bring people in, not push ‘em out.” Although JKap has made his stance very clear, pros from far and wide have expressed mutual issues with the two-time, which is only a cause for concern as we move into CoD’s first franchised league. Nonetheless, Infinity Ward have been keen on addressing feedback from the competitive community both pre and post-launch, which provides an element of security in the knowledge that the developers will be doing everything possible to ensure Activision can make this inaugural CDL season a success.

JKap slams opponent who calls out eUnited roster moves with hilarious rant Professional Call of Duty player Jordan ‘JKap’ Kaplan absolutely destroyed a random opposing player who questioned roster moves made by eUnited during the offseason. Kaplan and his new eUnited squad were playing wager matches on Black Ops 4, when in between games, an opponent plugged in his microphone to take a shot at the team. “You dropped Felo for Prestinni,” stated the player. “Good looks, assholes!” James ‘Clayster’ Eubanks immediately asked for one of his teammates to plug in their mics “and stick up for the boy,” while other members of eUnited claimed the statement didn’t even make sense, as Prestinni remained on the squad from their World War II roster. Clayster had barely finished his call to arms, when JKap’s voice was heard booming through the game lobby, replying: “Yo, they dropped Felo for me, you fucking moron. Fucking stupid.” “Jesus Christ, are you stupid?” continued Kaplan, as Clayster burst into fits of laughter. “Do you not know how this works? God, you’re pathetic.” JKap still wasn’t finished, however, as he began asking for the person who made the comments: “Yo, who said it son? Make yourself be known. Where you at, bitch!” JKap, who won back-to-back Call of Duty World Championships in 2015 and 2016, joined eUnited after leaving Luminosity under controversial circumstances, claiming that is former organization “mishandled” his exit, and labeling his ex-teammates “cowards”. He now finds himself reunited with Clayster, who is notorious for falling off Call of Duty maps, with whom he won his 2015 Call of Duty World Championship.

Jkap Reveals Why Luminosity Have Struggled Jordan ‘Jkap’ Kaplan spoke with Dexerto following Luminosity’s reverse sweep over tournament favorites Rise Nation. It has been an up and down year for Luminosity and Jkap, winning CWL Birmingham but failing to qualify for the Stage 2 playoffs after the trade of Octane for Formal. Jkap spoke on why he thought the team struggled after the roster shake up. We just weren’t clicking at all. I didn’t play well, [Formal] didn’t play well. A lot of us were just inconsistent, we could’ve played better. Luminosity ended up in 5th place in their group, three games out of a playoff spot. The team felt their fortunes changing heading into CWL Champs, thanks to a bootcamp with a rival team. I think the bootcamp we did with EnVy before [CWL Champs] was really big for us. Luminosity went undefeated in Champs pool play, but tripped up against Elevate in the knockout stage to set up the elimination match with Rise. Read More: 2018 CWL Championship Coverage Hub – Streams, Schedule (International Timings), Matchups, and More! – Jkap is no stranger to big performances at CWL Champs, winning two rings and finding himself involved on Championship Sunday seemingly every year. He was asked how this current Luminosity roster compares to his previous great teams. Coming in, I didn’t really know what to expect from this roster. Obviously we missed Stage 2 [Playoffs], but I still felt we were a better team than what we showed there. Overall, I was really on the fence with this roster whereas past rosters, the past three years… I came in really confident. This year we came in far down the power rankings list, but pool play really gave us confidence in our ability and potential. Luminosity will play in Losers Round 2 on August 18 when the CWL Championships resume. @JKap415 & @Luminosity stunned Rise to make the final 12 at #CWLChamps.

JKap explains why CoD pros are struggling to identify the CoD Burner The infamous CoD Burner has now been releasing sensitive information about the inner workings of CoD esports for almost a year, but no one has been able to identify them yet, not even the pro players. If unaware, ‘CoD Burner’ is a Reddit account, that began posting information, which only someone with inside knowledge of rosters and players would have, to the official Call of Duty esports sub reddit. One would think that after almost a year of leaks and insider speculation from this mystery account, they would have slipped up somewhere, or their information line would have at least narrowed down the options. But, Luminosity player Jordan ‘JKap’ Kaplan explains that even the professional players themselves, who would be the most likely party to be able to identify the individual, are having a tough time working it out. FaZe Clan’s Tommy ‘ZooMaa’ Paparatto recently did two lengthy live streams of himself and fellow pros trying to narrow down the options, but made little progress. JKap explains that the issue is the speed at which the CoD Burner releases information, and that they are not choosy, so any rumor or speculation will do. This means that there is little indication as to their agenda or who is feeding them the details. JKap says that although some of the pro players, including himself, have narrowed it down to a few potential suspects, there is nothing concrete to go on, and falsely accusing someone would have extremely detrimental affects for that person. eUnited coach and former professional player Brian ‘Saintt’ Baroska even revealed that he had been threatened with losing his position, after fingers began to be pointed at him. For now, the CoD Burner continues to run amok in the community, releasing information almost daily, with no regard for the confidential nature of roster agreements and contractual arrangements. Watch our video below on the CoD Burner and his activity that made him famous:

JKap calls his former teammates “cowards” and explains how Luminosity “mishandled” roster trade Former Luminosity player Jordan ‘JKap’ Kaplan has cleared the air surrounding the supposed ‘mishandling’ of his roster move to eUnited, after LG CEO & founder Steve Maida refuted accusations from Nadeshot. The controversy around JKap’s move to eUnited began when 100 Thieves owner Matt ‘Nadeshot’ Haag accused Luminosity of “ignoring [JKap] for months]” as 100 Thieves showed interest in signing him. Nadeshot said during a live stream that LG “did JKap dirty”, which quickly made the rounds in the community, as fans believed JKap had been left out in the cold by his former organization. However, in a Reddit thread discussing the situation, Maida claimed that what Nadeshot had said was “factually untrue” and a deliberate attempt to smear his organization’s good reputation. Maida claims that the org was only told by the other LG players that they did not want to play with JKap any longer one week ago, and up to that point had presumed he was staying with them. Maida then says that when JKap was informed of his teammates wishes, he asked for a move to eUnited, which LG granted. JKap responded to Maida, and while he did not dispute his version of events, he says that parts of the story have been left out in an attempt to “save face”. He explains that he told Luminosity immediately following the 2018 World Championship that he wanted a move to 100 Thieves, but “it became clear that wasn’t going to happen” and gave up – under the impression he was staying with the LG roster. Unable to get an answer either from the organization or “the cowards on the new roster”, JKap eventually asked for the trade to eUnited. Maida responded once more, following up to JKap’s retort, explaining that the entirety of rostermania was “dragged out”, and that LG did not act “maliciously” to screw him over, rather it was just an unfortunate circumstance. Once the rest of the LG roster informed him that they no longer wanted to play with JKap, Maida’s options were “slim”, but believes he handled it in the best way he could. JKap is now officially a member of eUnited, playing with Clayster, Arcitys, Prestinni and aBeZy, while it is believed Luminosity will recruit Classic to round out their roster. It appears there is some definite bad blood between JKap and his former teammates, calling them ‘cowards’, which will certainly make the first event of the season, CWL Vegas, in December, more interesting – should the teams match up.

JKap bashes Clayster on Twitter following eUnited roster shuffle eUnited – TwitterThe controversy surrounding eUnited’s recent roster change has continued to escalate, with Call of Duty pro player Jordan ‘JKap’ Kaplan taking aim at teammate James ‘Clayster’ Eubanks on Twitter. Update March 20 @ 5:30 PM PT Following the Twitter exchange shown below, JKap proceeded to post more infammatory comments about Clayster, this time on Reddit. The post also shares his side of the story as to how the events unfolded leading up to their recent roster change, which saw JKap dropped from the starting lineup. Jkap’s has some more words about Clayster pic.twitter.com/JVKGrSFEvH — CWL INTEL (@INTELCallofDuty) March 20, 2019 Original Story Following JKap’s contentious demotion from eUnited’s starting squad on March 19, CWL analyst Anthony ‘NAMELESS’ Wheeler invited JKap and Clayster to tell their sides of the story on his popular CoDCast podcast. After a series of exchanges on Twitter, JKap posted a couple of tweets in which he went off on the eUnited captain, calling him arrogant, self-centered, and a horrible teammate. “I was actually considering last night why I was so pissed at you in all this when realistically the decision to bench me was 100% Burns. And I came to the realization that I just don’t like you anymore because you are the most arrogant and self-centered person I’ve ever met. Pair that with the fact that you’re consumed by trying to have all the fans like you (hence your quote about manipulating CoD reddit that I tweeted yesterday) and you’ve turned into an absolutely horrible teammate over the past few years since I last teamed with you in Advanced Warfare.” “That’s cool dude,” he wrote. “You’re entitled to your opinion all you want. Good luck in whatever team you join.” This pretty much sets in stone what most fans already suspected – that JKap will be on his way out of eUnited once the roster lock gets lifted on April 5. Of course, the controversy first started when the mysterious Call of Duty insider known as the CoDBurner accused JKap of trying to “scumbag” Clayster and get him dropped from the eUnited roster. Once JKap was dropped from the starting squad following their poor performance at CWL Fort Worth, he started expressing his frustrations on social media, even publicly suggesting a few times that Clayster had been the CoDBurner all along. In fact, that was what led to this admittedly surprising barrage of insults, as those tweets came in reply of Clayster asking JKap to stop accusing him of being the CoDBurner. According to JKap, the idea of dropping Clayster was not even his own: “And for the record, trying to drop you was no at all just me. Idea didn’t even cross my mind until I heard the others talking about it first.” “Never said it was all you, never even thought that,” Clay replied. “I don’t believe that you ‘brainwashed’ people into it, not sure why you think I do.”

JKap and ZooMaa get into Hilarious Fight During WWII Ranked Play Having to hear the opposing team’s microphones at the end of a Ranked match can be annoying, but that is not the case when two Call of Duty pros happen to be arguing. Tommy ‘ZooMaa’ Paparatto and Jordan ‘JKap’ Kaplan had a hilarious argument that was caught on stream by a delighted James ‘Clayster’ Eubanks. JKap and ZooMaa were on opposite ends of the scoreboard following a Hardpoint loss to Clay’s team, though the first place ZooMaa was the first to get roasted. JKap: You’re going to take the *** long route like a moron? ZooMaa: I was one shot. I’m going to run in there and die? Clayster was not expecting the argument to get as good as it did and took a sip from his drink, almost spitting it out with laughter as JKap and ZooMaa kept going.

ZooMaa may have had over 50 kills, but JKap was upset no one was in the hill while he was winning rotations. The two will not have to work out their differences since they are not on the same team for the upcoming Call of Duty Championships. JKap will be pointing out his key rotation kills for Luminosity, while ZooMaa might get a few more 50 bombs for FaZe Clan.

JKap and ACHES hit back at “cheap shot” from Modern Warfare dev A handful of professional Call of Duty players have locked horns with Modern Warfare multiplayer designer David Mickner, as tensions rise over bug fixes and issues with the game. Since launch on October 25, Modern Warfare has had mixed responses from both the casual and competitive communities. Professional players, such as Jordan ‘JKap’ Kaplan and Chris ‘Parasite’ Duarte, have been vocal about their grievances with the game and perceived lack of attention to competitive issues. On November 20, players and a developer engaged in a public debate on the issue of bug fixes, and lack of communication between the pro community and Infinity Ward. Mickner, who was also one of the lead multiplayer designers for 2016’s Infinite Warfare, directly called out pro players for not notifying him of a bug through the “official channels”. He stated: “[Dead Silence] had this bug, that no one told us about (Pros have OFFICIAL channels to us and we were never informed). I fixed this in less than 5 minutes once I was aware.” This quickly drew a response from the pro community, as LA Guerrillas captain Patrick ‘ACHES’ Price claimed that this supposed ‘official’ channel was not at all effective. https://twitter.com/ACHES/status/1197448480525914112 Parasite appeared to agree, responding that this is the reason he simply posts the issues publicly on Twitter and mentions developers and the community manager, in the hopes of getting their attention. JKap also responded to Mickner’s claim that pro players had failed to inform the dev team of the issue, explaining that not only had he never seen the bug, but that other issues reported had gone ignored. He also accused Mickner of being “misleading” by blaming pro players for a lack of communication, explaining that issues raised before the game was even released have still not been addressed. Mickner responded, explaining that general feedback is not the same as highlighting bugs. Feedback and bugs are entirely different. One is a suggestion, another is observing unintended behavior. In all aspects of our game, we want to know both, but especially bugs, so we can smooth out the experience to make way for feedback. — David Mickner (@DavidMickner) November 21, 2019 JKap continued, however, arguing that there was no need to call out pro players in regards to the dead silence bug, as they have more pressing concerns, such as spawn logic. When Mickner suggested that they attempt to resolve the dispute and ‘move forward without yelling at each other’, Kaplan said that the “cheap shot” at the pros was “lame.” First, your other tweet said “entirely different.” I can work on improvements, but you taking a cheap shot at pros while citing a bug like that is just lame. And something fixed on the back end is way different than already fixed. We have no clue if/how/when spawns are changing — Jordan Kaplan (@JKap415) November 21, 2019 Following the exchange, the developer Tweeted that the team “wants what’s best for our game and this community”, even if they don’t always see “eye to eye.” Our team wants whats best for our game and this community. Sometimes we won’t see eye to eye, but we’re working hard, and we care about our players ( even if you’re the person that victory crouched on me in Shoot House 24/7 earlier ) Goodnight twitter. — David Mickner (@DavidMickner) November 21, 2019 Most concerning for professional players though will be the start of the Call of Duty League, which is creeping closer to its first event weekend on January 24. With various issues still unresolved, including some potentially game-breaking bugs in Search and Destroy, there are concerns competition could be affected.

JKap accuses Clayster of “fake hype” and having “more toxic” fans than OpTic MLGeUnited Call of Duty professional Jordan ‘JKap’ Kaplan has claimed that his ex-teammate James ‘Clayster’ Eubanks fakes his hype and that it’s “not genuine”. JKap and Clayster have been involved in a fairly public feud since the decision was made by eUnited to move JKap to a substitute role, in place of Chris ‘Simp’ Lehr. This came after a disappointing top 16 finish at CWL Fort Worth. Following the announcement of this change, speculation arose regarding how influential Clayster was in forcing the move, with many suggesting that he was largely responsible, while of course it was a team decision. JKap went on to post a number of insulting tweets, referring to Clayster as “the most arrogant and self-centred person” he’s ever met. This prompted Clayster to respond in a YouTube video, talking about CWL Fort Worth and eUnited’s roster changes. The comments about Clayster faking hype were made by Kaplan when he appeared on CoD analyst and ex-pro Anthony ‘NAMELESS’ Wheeler’s YouTube podcast. At around the 9:00 minute mark, Kaplan says that he believes a lot of Clayster’s hype is “manufactured for the camera” and that it’s not genuine. He goes on to say that Clayster “screams after like, random map wins against random teams” and that, whilst he does not want to speak for other people, ex-teammates of Clayster’s agree with what Kaplan is saying. JKap states that this illegitimate hype from Clayster is unhelpful when trying to play with him, and that whilst it’s not a massive issue, it’s something Kap tries to avoid in teammates. He argues this fake hype feeds into a shift in Clayster’s attitude towards competitive CoD, that has occurred since Clayster won his world championship in Advanced Warfare – alongside JKap. “I think he’s started doing it since AW,” said JKap. “Some time since then, he stopped playing for the win, and started playing for the fans”. JKap goes even further with his criticisms towards the end of the interview, stating that fans of Clayster are “pound for pound, more toxic” than OpTic Gaming fans. It remains to be seen how Clayster will respond to this, or whether this will spell an end to the two world champions’ disagreements.

JGOD’s top 10 Warzone players to watch in NYSL’s $100K Warzonemania tournament Andbox / YouTube: JGOD / Instragram: zlanerPopular content creator JGOD broke down his list of the top ten Warzone competitors heading into NYSL’s highly anticipated $100K Warzonemania tournament — with some picks fans might find quite surprising. Picking a number one Warzone player, or even drafting a list of the top five or top ten, is a daunting task for anyone when the game’s playerbase is filled with tons of absolutely dominant individuals. While each list largely depends on the opinion of who’s writing it, fans are always on the lookout for respected voices in the community to provide their own thoughts on how the best Warzone pros and content creators stack up against each other. Ahead of the massive NYSL $100K Warzonemania tournament, popular content creator JGOD has revealed his top ten Warzone players who will be facing off in the highly anticipated event. Some names on JGOD’s list will come as no surprise to competitive Warzone fans, while others that landed in certain spots — and some players that didn’t make the cut at all — might come as a bit of a shock. The YouTuber’s top ten countdown includes some of Warzone’s most talented, flashy, and richest players in the game. Here’s who JGOD thinks are the top ten competitors heading into the Subliners’ massive Warzonemania event: Aydan – HusKerrs – SuperEvan – Tommey – ZLaner – Jukeyz – JoeWo – MuTeX – TeeP – Metaphor – NYSL’s tournament is certainly stuffed to the brim with talented competition, and picking ten players out of the sixty-plus involved couldn’t have been easy. JGOD even clarified that he struggled with the exact ranking, and some players could have easily ended up in a different spot. Not every pro participating in Warzonemania could make the cut, and some beastly competitors like DiazBiffle and Rated weren’t in contention for this particular list, but it’s hard to argue that any of the players JGOD picked don’t deserve the recognition. While you may not agree with every name on his list or what spot they were put in, JGOD probably has a better idea than most on how each of the players in Warzonemania stack up against the competition. But we’ll know for sure when they drop into Verdansk as the event kicks off on June 7.

JGOD’s Stoner 63 Warzone loadout is the “best” LMG class in the game Activision / JGODCall of Duty content creator JGOD has revealed his lethal Stoner 63 loadout that dominates players in Warzone. While Warzone’s LMGs have never been as popular as the game’s dominant AR class, the Stoner 63 is still a great option. This is particularly true for those that enjoy large clip sizes and incredible damage. Despite the Stoner 63 being classified as an LMG, this beefy weapon has very little recoil – an area that many guns of its ilk struggle with. It’s because of this that JGOD believes the Stoner 63 is currently the best LMG in Warzone, overthrowing the likes of the PKM and Bruen. If you kit the Stoner 63 out with the best attachments, then this Cold War weapon can even rival a number of the game’s meta ARs. This is especially true when using JGODs latest loadout. JGOD’s Stoner 63 loadout Muzzle: Agency Suppressor – Barrel: 21.8” Task Force – Optic: Royal & Kross 4x – Underbarrel: Field Agent Grip – Ammunition: Fast Mag – JGOD’s Stoner 63 loadout greatly boosts the gun’s accuracy and damage range, giving it the boost it needs to compete in long to mid-range firefights. First up, is the Agency Suppressor and 21.8” Task Force. Both these attachments increase the Stoner’s damage range and bullet velocity, while also keeping the gun’s shot suppressed. While snagging kills across Rebirth is incredibly easy, the distant shooting in Verdansk can be a little tough. Fortunately, these attachments help with securing distant kills. The added reduction in vertical recoil from Field Agent Grip also enables the use of the Royal & Kross 4x. Not only does this afford you increased precision, but it also makes hitting those all-important head and bodyshots incredibly easy. Timestamp of 0:09 Rounding things off at the bottom is the Fast Mag. This time-saving attachment is a must, particularly if you wish to cut down any lengthy reload animations. The Stoner comes packed with 75 rounds by default, so you’ll have more than enough ammo to take down multiple enemies. While the Stoner may not be the best gun in Warzone Season 4, JGOD’s loadout proves that it still packs a serious punch and is well worth trying out.

JGOD’s overlooked Warzone AR loadout rivals the XM4 after Season 3 changes Activision/Youtube: JGODJGOD is always good for spotting under-the-radar Warzone builds and this overlooked Cold War AR could give the XM4 a run for its money after the big Season 3 weapon balance update. Classified Arms completely shook up the game when it comes to Warzone. From a total table-flip on Sniper Rifles to the gradual replacement of some long-time favorites, the Warzone meta has seen a spot of turbulence ever since the update. Thankfully, any player who was lost in the tides of chaos now has a big lighthouse to swim home to in the form of JGOD’s updated best loadouts list for Season 3. JGOD’s Warzone AR loadout that rivals the XM4 in Season 3 In his Top 10 loadouts video, the BR guru explains that the Vargo 52 is the perfect alternative for players who want the XM4’s TTK without its recoil. He specifically notes that the first few shots are not as hard to control, meaning that anyone who has struggled to keep their shot straight could be in for a huge upgrade here. “I would definitely unlock it if you enjoy the XM4, or if you want to enjoy the XM4 and the initial kick is a little too strong for you. I know a lot of players on console have mentioned this,” he said. As for the specifics, all of the attachments will be familiar enough. There’s nothing here that’s going to cause a major stir, and as always, the Optic is up to personal preference. Muzzle: GRU Suppressor – Barrel: 18.6″ Task Force – Optic: Axial Arms 3x – Underbarrel: Spetsnaz Grip – Magazine: Spetsnaz 60 Rnd – These are pretty much the default options for most Cold War weapons, and with the CW AK falling out of favor with some players, the Vargo slots in nicely to replace it as a third AR option from the XM4 and the STG-44. If this one doesn’t do the trick but you’re still looking to change things up, maybe check out WhosImmortal’s list of weapons with the fastest TTK in Warzone.

JGOD’s OTs 9 Warzone loadout turns SMG into a “close-range beast” JGODCall of Duty content creator JGOD has revealed his deadly Warzone OTs 9 loadout that melts players in close-quarters combat. Warzone’s Season 4 Reloaded update finally saw the introduction of the OTs 9 SMG. It may still be early days for this pint-sized SMG, but the OTs 9 continues to be a decent pick for those that enjoy lightning-fast fire rates, high mobility, and great reload speeds. Because of this JGOD believes the OTs 9 melts in Warzone’s Rebirth Island and close-quarter firefights. If you kit the OTs 9 out with the best attachments, then this Cold War weapon can make short work of even the most skilled player. This is especially true when using JGODs latest loadout. JGOD’s OTs 9 loadout Muzzle: Gru Suppressor – Barrel: 8.1” Task Force – Optic: Microflex LED – Laser: Tiger Team Spotlight – Ammunition: VDV 40 Rnd Fast Mag – Just like our own OTs 9 loadout, JGOD has utilized both the Gru Suppressor and 8.1” Task Force barrel. Both of these attachments increase the OTs 9’s damage range, while also decreasing the gun’s vertical recoil. Meanwhile, the added bullet velocity and suppression from the muzzle help with hitting targets outside close-quarters scenarios. Read More: Best LC10 Warzone class loadout – Next up is the Microflex LED, which JGOD has used to remove the OTs 9’s weird aim mechanic that can often obstruct your view. This optic makes claiming those all-important headshot multipliers incredibly easy, while also not drastically reducing your ADS speed. Timestamp at 0:41 The Tiger Team Spotlight is also a must for those looking to speed up movement speed and ADS strafe speed – two areas that are incredibly important for hyper-aggressive play. Rounding things off at the bottom of the attachment list is the VDV 40 Rnd Fast Mag. Read More: Best C58 Warzone loadout – While 40 Rnds may not sound like a lot of ammunition, the incredibly fast reload speed ensures you can get up and running in no time. In fact, you’ll be able to equip a fresh mag in a blink of an eye thanks to this time-saving attachment. The OTs 9 may not be the top SMG pick in Warzone Season 4, but JGOD’s loadout proves that this Modern Warfare gun was well worth the wait.

JGOD’s no recoil RPD Warzone class is perfect for Rebirth Island YouTube: JGOD/ActivisionPopular Warzone YouTuber JGOD highlighted the RPD as one of the most “underrated” weapons in the battle royale, and he’s even got a class loadout that is perfect for Rebirth Island. When Warzone first launched over a year ago, players had one option in terms of a map – Verdansk. Since then, things have changed quite a bit with the arrival of Rebirth Island. The Alcatraz-inspired mini location has become the go-to map for many Warzone players in the last few weeks, as they’ve become frustrated by Verdansk and the constant cheaters. JGOD has joined them in making trips over to Rebirth, and believes the RPD is a pretty solid choice for players making the switch, especially as it has no recoil. The popular Warzone YouTuber highlighted the weapon on July 9, saying it’s one of the most underrated guns in the game because of its lack of recoil. LMG’s have always been a popular choice in the CoD battle royale, and have tended to be a bit busted at times in terms of recoil as well. As for the RPD, JGOD says the 15-20 shots have little recoil, and then after that, you don’t experience any recoil at all. While many players might opt to run the weapon with a KAR, given that is the most popular Warzone weapon overall, JGOD rocks the Milano SMG. Therefore, his class is solid for Rebirth as he has the RPD for medium-range and then can use the Milano to finish people off. JGOD’s RPD Warzone loadout for Rebirth Island RPD Muzzle: GRU Suppressor – Barrel: 20.3 Task Force – Optic: Axial Arms 3x – Grip: Spetsnaz Grip – Ammo: 120 round – In terms of his “underrated” assessment of the weapon, he might not be too far off. As per stats from WZRanked, the LMG is the 59th most-used gun in Warzone, and it’s never really been too much higher in the rankings either. Can it crack the meta? Maybe, especially if JGOD and other content creators start giving it some love. So, if you’re making the switch to Rebirth, why not give it a chance at least once?

JGOD’s Marco 5 akimbo Warzone loadout could dominate Season 4 Activision / JGODWarzone Season 4 introduced the Marco 5 SMG, a brand-new weapon looking to shake up the close-range meta. Players can even duel-wield the Marco 5 and CoD guru JGOD has revealed the ideal akimbo loadout. The CoD community has praised Warzone Season 4 and even a host of big-name content creators have welcomed all of the changes, from the new Fortune’s Keep map to the number of weapon balancing adjustments. One of the biggest new additions in Season 4 is the Marco 5, a punchy SMG perfect for close-range encounters. What separates it from other weapons in its class is the ability to dual-wield, blowing opponents away with twice the firepower. Warzone expert JGOD has put together the perfect akimbo Marco 5 loadout, which could become a force of nature at close-range as Season 4 progresses. Although the Marco 5 can be used as a traditional SMG, the developers clearly designed it with Akimbo Perk in mind. It has a blistering fire rate and has great hipfire accuracy. With just the one Marco 5, the SMG has a TTK of around 612 M/S if you can land shots on the enemy’s head, neck, or chest. Switching to Akimbo, however, brings it down to 421 M/S, one of the quickest TTKs in one game. If the prospect of tearing across Caldera armed with SMGs sounds like a good time, JGOD has broken down the perfect loadout to make the akimbo Marco 5 a beast in Warzone Season 4. JGOD’s best akimbo Marco 5 loadout in Warzone Season 4 Muzzle: Recoil Booster – Barrel: Botti 285mm Custom – Optic: 1229/Slate 3.25x Custom – Stock: Botti HF Folding – Magazine: 9mm 48 Round Drums – Ammo Type: Subsonic – Rear Grip: Pine Tar Grip – Perk 1: Akimbo – Perk 2: Quick – The YouTuber explained in his video that the Marco 5 akimbo setup is far different than if you were running it as a single SMG. Since akimbo removes the ability to aim down sight, his loadout is mainly concerned with raising the hipfire accuracy to allow players to achieve its potential TTK. He equipped the Botti 285mm Custom, 1229/Slate 3.25x Custom, Botti HF Folding, and Pine Tar Grip, all of which add up to a huge increase in hipfire accuracy. Then he combined these attachments with Subsonic rounds and the Quick Perk, to allow for faster movement but greater stealth. Throwing in a Recoil Booster Muzzle raised the fire rate, making the two Marco 5s utterly devastating at close range. Finally, he rounded out the loadout with 9mm 48 Round Drums for extra ammo capacity, giving players a total of 96 bullets to unload. There’s no doubt there are other Warzone SMGs with more precision, but if you’re looking for a secondary weapon purely for short-range encounters, then the akimbo Marco 5s are one of the most effective in Season 4.

JGOD’s best Warzone loadouts after Vanguard Royale health buff Activision / JGODThe Vanguard Royale health buff is changing the way Warzone is being played and JGOD has revealed his best loadouts following the patch. In the March 2 Warzone update, fans became aware of the game-changing dynamics that would affect the popular Vanguard Royale playlist. This saw the player’s base health increase from 100 to 150, which seemingly raised the TTK in the mode. Now, JGOD is breaking down which close and long-range loadouts are meta and which you should avoid after this massive update. JGOD top close-range Warzone loadout after VG Royale change In a YouTube video, JGOD takes a look at the new TTKs for all close-range guns. Although this health buff is making it take longer to kill, JGOD is still blown away by one SMG. The Type 100 was JGOD’s best loadout prior to this update and it remains at the spot. According to his data, the deadly sub posts a 607 TTK, which is nearly 150 faster than any other gun in that category. We have listed his exact setup with the attachments below. Type 100 loadout Muzzle: Recoil Booster – Barrel: Warubachi 134mm Rapid – Optic: Slate Reflector – Stock: Sakura Type 2 – Underbarrel: Carver Foregrip – Magazine: 8mm Kurz 48 Round Drum – Ammo Type: Hollow Point – Rear Grip: Pine Tar Grip – Perk: Gung-ho – Perk 2: Quick – If you aren’t a fan of the Type 100 or don’t have it leveled up, then JGOD said the Owen Gun or Welgun will be the next best options in this range. JGOD top close-range Warzone loadout after VG Royale change Switching over to the assault rifles and light machine guns that make up the long-range meta, we notice a bigger shake-up in Warzone’s top guns. Instead of the usual Automaton or Bren, JGOD now claims that the MG42 has the fastest TTK for this distance. We have listed the full attachments for you down below. MG42 loadout Muzzle: MX Silencer – Barrel: VDD 890mm 32M Luftschutz – Optic: SVT-40 PU Scope 3-6x – Stock: VDD 64M – Underbarrel: M1941 Hand Stop – Ammo Type: Lengthened – Rear Grip: Polymer Grip – Perk: Tight Grip – Perk 2: Fully loaded – If you’re looking for something more forgiving than the MG42, then you will want to use the Bren as it currently has one of the best damage per magazine or the Automaton. So there you have it, next time you drop into Vanguard Royale give one of these loadouts a try and see if you can make the enemy’s health disappear.

JGOD’s best FARA 83 loadout after nerfs: Best Warzone class for the FARA Activision / JGODCall of Duty content creator JGOD has revealed his meta FARA loadout that still hits like a truck, even after the Season 4 weapon balance changes. Despite receiving nerfs to its maximum damage and recoil, the FARA 83 continues to be a highly versatile weapon in Warzone Season 4. This deadly AR is still capable of effortlessly beaming squads across all engagement ranges. While it may not be as strong as it used to be, JGOD’s FARA loadout demonstrates why this Cold War AR remains near the top of Warzone’s weapon rankings. The FARA has a very high rate of fire, great damage profile, and laser-like accuracy, which enables players to shred through armor in a matter of seconds. Whether you’re looking for the latest meta loadouts or just wish to dominate the competition, JGOD’s FARA build is one you want to use. JGOD’s FARA 83 loadout Muzzle: Gru Suppressor – Barrel: 18.7″ Spetsnaz RPK Barrel – Optic: Axial Arms 3x – Underbarrel: Spetsnaz Grip – Ammunition: Spetsnaz 60 Rnd – Unlike other weapons impacted by the Warzone Reloaded TTK changes, the meta FARA loadout remains untouched. JGOD’s specific build still utilizes all the attachments that were popular in the previous update, with the likes of the Gru Suppressor, Spetsnaz Grip, and 18.7″ Spetsnaz RPK Barrel topping the list. Both the Gru Suppressor and Spetsnaz Grip greatly alleviate the FARA’s vertical and horizontal recoil – two areas area that were increased in the recent weapon balance patch. These two attachments help get rid of any need for recoil management, making them must-picks. Next up is the 18.7″ Spetsnaz RPK Barrel. This barrel increases the FARA’s effective damage range and bullet velocity, allowing you to snag kills across mid to long-range distances. Timestamp of 0:23 Thanks to the loadout’s minimal recoil and added damage range, the Axial Arms 3x optic is a perfect choice. Not only does it give you the added magnification to see enemies clearly, but it also enables you to hone in on those head and bodyshots. Read More: Best Warzone Assault Rifle class loadouts – Constantly reloading can quickly lead to a frustrating death, so JGOD has equipped the Spetsnaz 60 Rnd mags. Gunning for multi-kills is incredibly important in any Warzone mode, particularly when you wish to increase your KDA. While the FARA may have been nerfed, JGOD’s build still proves that this AR still has what it takes to shine in Warzone Season 4.

Week 3: MuTeX & ScummN take out the final week of qualifiers The third and final round of qualifiers were arguably the most intense yet. Duos were putting up more kills than ever in some of the toughest lobbies to date. As a result, many of the biggest names bowed out with rather insignificant scores. An impressive showing from MuTeX & ScummN locked in the top spot and close behind was Aydan & Rated. Together, these two teams were able to qualify for the upcoming Grand Finale. Week 2: ZLaner & Destroy cruise to the top alongside Huskerrs & Newbz Throughout the second date of JGOD’s event, six more Duos lined up to compete in this unique format.

JGOD, XclusiveAce, more slam CoD Vanguard for adding bloom: “Does not belong in Call of Duty” YouTube: JGOD / TheXclusiveAceAfter players blasted Call of Duty: Vanguard for its “totally random” bloom mechanic, prominent CoD content creators like JGOD and XclusiveAce spoke out against the feature as well. The Call of Duty community was as hyped as ever for the release of Vanguard, Sledgehammer Games’ latest return to World War II. But, after getting their hands on the game, plenty of players saw it as a step back from the franchise’s previous form. After release, some eagle-eyed fans realized that Sledgehammer had re-introduced weapon bloom for the first time since the days of CoD: WW2. Once players realized just how much the mechanic was affecting Vanguard’s weapons, many called for it to be removed entirely. Now, several prominent names in the Call of Duty scene, like YouTubers JGOD and XclusiveAce, have added their voices to those clamoring for bloom to be removed from Vanguard entirely. JGOD, XclusiveAce blast Vanguard over bloom On November 14, Warzone aficionado JGOD slammed the addition of bloom on Twitter. “I am all for experimenting with new features, but bloom does not belong in CoD. Never has and never will.” I am all for experimenting with new features, but Bloom does not belong in CoD. Never has and never will. #Vanguard Bad enough there is flinch with insane headshot multipliers. — James – JGOD (@JGODYT) November 14, 2021 Plenty of fans tweeted their support for the mechanic’s removal, including one of JGOD’s fellow content creators, XclusiveAce. After already putting out a detailed breakdown of how bloom works in Vanguard, Ace didn’t hold back in his criticisms of the feature. I’m personally filled with a huge sense of pride and accomplishment when my bullets don’t go where I’m aiming. Having too much control and personal accountability for missed shots is stressful. — Xclusive Ace (@TheXclusiveAce) November 14, 2021 “I’m personally filled with a huge sense of pride and accomplishment when my bullets don’t go where I’m aiming,” he replied sarcastically — a callback to EA’s response when players spoke out against gameplay design in Battlefront II. One fan asked Ace if bloom was an attempt by Sledgehammer to accurately re-create the feel of older WWII weapons. The content creator quickly shot that idea down: “Even [those] guns are far more accurate that the [bullet] groups we’re seeing in Vanguard.” Nope. Even WW2 era guns are FAR more accurate that the groups we’re seeing in Vanguard — Xclusive Ace (@TheXclusiveAce) November 14, 2021 Other Call of Duty personalities added their support to JGOD’s comments. Former pro player and popular Warzone streamer Joe ‘MerK’ DeLuca simply responded, “+1 accuracy,” a dig at Vanguard’s unclear gunsmith stats. Even Matthew ‘Nadeshot’ Haag, co-owner and CEO of esports org 100 Thieves, pleaded with Sledgehammer to remove the mechanic. “Having an absolute blast on Vanguard, but please remove bloom from this game. It does not belong in Call of Duty.” JGOD already shared his concerns that Vanguard’s bloom mechanic might make its way over to Warzone, something he worries will “add a randomized factor into an already low skill gap game.” It remains to be seen if bloom will be added to the BR when its Pacific map launches alongside Vanguard Season 1, but it’s clear that both players and content creators want the mechanic removed from Vanguard, and to never makes its way to Warzone in the first place.

JGOD worried CoD Vanguard will be dominated by “passive and campy playstyle” Activision / JGODCall of Duty: Vanguard is the next title in the franchise and players are excited about the new game. While playing the beta, content creator JGOD is worried that low TTKs Vanguard will be dominated by campers and slow playstyles. The CoD Vanguard beta is now live for all players to jump in and try out the game, all you need is a beta code. With many different maps and game modes, players are getting a good feel for how this CoD’s Multiplayer will play out. While most of the weapons have an extremely low TTK it changing the way the game is played. CoD guru JGOD is concerned this will entice players to camp and play slower than usual. JGOD thinks Vanguard will be run by campers and slow playstyle Topic starts at 7:45 In his latest YouTube video, JGOD breaks down his thoughts so far from the two weekends of the Vanguard Beta. While he does point out positives to the game, he mentions a huge problem he thinks will limit the way people can play. With very low TTKs he thinks it will be extremely hard to run and gun people. JGOD said the sprint to fire time “is ridiculously slow” making players want to pre-aim an angle and gun anyone who is trying to move forward. He does bring up an idea to help fix this issue. JGOD suggested that they raise the base health from 100 up to 125 or 150. He thinks this will help balance weapons and change playstyles. Most important change for me would be increased TTK, which could easily be fixed by adjusting health to 125-150 and balancing weapons accordingly, but that has never been done during once he have gotten and alpha or a beta #Vanguard So we grind at launch for Warzone Integration — James – JGOD (@JGODYT) September 17, 2021 While it’s just the beta things could change but he notes that major changes like the amount of health never happens once the game is released in its alpha or beta stage. Although, he does say that the aggressive playstyle can still work because of the TTK. Since people die really fast better players could be able to play the run-and-gun style but it can be very inconsistent.

JGOD & Warzone streamers baffled by “ruined” gold camos in recent update ActivisionAt some point between Call of Duty: Warzone’s Pacific launch and now, the game tweaked Vanguard camos. After comparing the current and original designs, JGOD and others can’t believe how badly Gold was “ruined.” Grinding camos is practically synonymous with the Call of Duty multiplayer experience. While some players enjoy low-level or purchased weapon skins, many enjoy putting in the work to unlock mastery camos. Vanguard, the franchise’s latest installment, is no different. The camo challenges may be more frustrating than other games, but players are still grinding for Gold, Diamond, and Atomic. After Black Ops Cold War’s camos disappointed upon Warzone integration, hopes weren’t high for Vanguard. It was therefore a pleasant surprise when those Vanguard camos actually looked phenomenal in the Pacific. Unfortunately, that hasn’t lasted. JGOD reveals Vanguard camos “ruined” in Warzone They Really ruined the Way the Vanguard Gold Camo Looks in Warzone Top is From Launch and Bottom is Today. SMH pic.twitter.com/sVLWDGim5Q — James – JGOD (@JGODYT) January 19, 2022 We can now add CoD historian to JGOD’s list of reputations, right alongside weapon analyst and content creator. Having filmed Vanguard’s mastery camos in Warzone right after the Pacific’s December 8 launch, he’s now contrasted them with their current versions. As you can see in the video, Diamond and Atomic actually look practically identical. If anything, current Atomic might even look a little better. Gold, on the other hand, looks very different. Much of its original, unique pattern has simply been replaced with a matte black. Realizing this tweak, JGOD complained that “they really ruined the way the Vanguard Gold camo looks in Warzone.” In the replies, a number of streamers joined in on the dismayed confusion. XSET Loochy wondered “why any manpower is being put towards working on THIS instead of the bugs.” KRNG Hero joined in, too, noting just when the change happened: “They changed it since the mid-season update and I’m like bruh why.” With Warzone Season 2 delayed until February 14, we’ll just have to wait and see if CoD brings back the original, beloved camos as a Valentine’s Day gift.

JGOD warns Warzone 2 players about “trash” AR ActivisionWarzone 2 added a new AR, the M13C, but JGOD claimed “there is pretty much no reason” to use it. Warzone 2’s Shadow Siege event challenged players to complete a series of objectives to unlock the Modern Warfare 3 reveal trailer. Some COD community members even dub it Warzone’s best event, as it provided a fun and unique experience. Besides accessing the MW3 reveal trailer, players earn rewards by completing Shadow Siege, including a vehicle skin, emblem, calling card, charm Battle Token, and the M13C assault rifle. Activision described the M13C: “This full-auto Assault Rifle is versatile and hard-hitting as a main weapon or sniper support secondary.” Unfortunately for players expecting the next great sniper support weapon, JGOD had bad news for Warzone 2 players who expected more. JGOD has bad news about the M13C in Warzone 2 Warzone 2 players who were hoping for a similar weapon to the M13B are in for a rude awakening. JGOD claimed: “There is pretty much no reason to use the M13C.” A 785ms TTK from 18 meters makes the M13C worse than most SMGs. And AR’s easily outclass the M13C’s 904 TTK from 32 meters away. The YouTuber elaborated: “TTK/BV makes it pretty much non-competitive up close, as a sniper support, or at range.” JGOD added that he has no interest in making a video on the weapon because: “Players just aren’t interested in trash guns.” For a small silver lining, JGOD liked how the weapon is free and only has 11 levels for players to progress through. Other Warzone 2 community members shared the YouTuber’s sentiment. One player responded: “Gun is certified hot garbage.” A second user added: “Why do they release so many trash guns?” However, some players understand it’s hard to release a new weapon and have it immediately balanced. A third player added: “D**ned if they introduce a new gun that is absolute meta, d**ned if they introduce a gun that’s mid at best. Kinda hard to win.” It remains to be seen if Raven Software will buff the M13C. But for now, make sure to check our best Warzone 2 loadouts.

JGOD uses embarrassing Warzone clip to mock hack accusations against Biffle Twitter, @JGODYT / DiazBiffle / ActivisionCall of Duty: Warzone pro DiazBiffle wins a lot of tournaments and gets a lot of hack accusations. But JGOD has decided to shut those down in an innovative way: by roasting an embarrassing Biffle play. Most Warzone hack accusations (or “hackusations”) follow a similar pattern. Namely, viewers find a highlight of a player that looks so talented that it must be evidence of hacks. And the responses also follow a pattern. Normally, defenders say accusers should watch the player’s full stream before crying wolf. Well, when JGOD isn’t analyzing Warzone’s new guns and giving loadout advice, he watches players’ full streams. And, in a sly response to Biffle hackusations, JGOD decided to poke fun at the pro. In the embarrassing clip, JGOD showed that even a top earner and a top-ranked Warzone player sometimes whiffs full mags. Embarrassing Warzone clip shows Biffle not cheating As you can see in the clip, Biff tried to pull his parachute and hit about half of his shots on a potential victim. A moment later, they both landed on the roof and Biffle proceeded to miss… approximately 90% of his shots. JGOD jokingly posted the clip to Twitter with a tongue-in-cheek caption: “Clearly cheating.” And, in the replies, the roasted pro responded with a slightly heartbroken “ayo..” No one is safe from Warzone hackusations Apparently this clip has people convinced @Priestahh is a Warzone hacker 😭 Now we wait for an apology to @DiazBiffle and a @ROKKR investigation… pic.twitter.com/5nDja1GKXZ — Dexerto Esports (@DexertoEsports) October 5, 2021 The Biffle clip can be put in stark contrast to a Preston ‘Priestahh’ Grenier clip. The CDL’s Minnesota ROKKR pro was accused of cheating for the above video, in which he killed someone out of the sky. But, as he’s a pro who has literally had his PC checked on LAN, those accusations were quickly clowned and ignored. So if killing people out of the sky isn’t necessarily proof of cheating, then what about streamers who whiff their mid-air shots? While people may still say Biff is a hacker who turns them off every so often, it’s still funny to see such a blatantly average clip of an oft-accused streamer. Warzone’s RICOCHET Anti-Cheat is expected to release sometime after Vanguard’s integration. Maybe we’ll start having more concrete answers and less roasts between people in the scene.

JGOD uses AI to craft perfect Warzone 2 loadout ActivisionWarzone 2 expert JGOD utilized an AI program to create the perfect ISO 45 loadout, opening the door for other players to have a computer to do all of the tedious leg work. Modern Warfare 2 gives players more weapon customization options but also acts as a double-edged sword. Each weapon has nine different attachment options, and users can equip five at a time. Attachment tuning goes one step further, allowing players to alter each individual attachment for different playstyles. For example, while editing an under-barrel attachment, you can focus more on recoil stabilization or aim down-sight speed. The firing range helps players determine whether or not they like their created loadouts, but it can still be overwhelming. Fortunately, JGOD revealed an AI system that creates the perfect loadout for you. JGOD reveals new way to build Warzone 2 loadouts TrueGameData released a new tool called METAGEN. JGOD explained why the system could potentially be a game-changer for Warzone 2 players. “This is a tool that can help you build pretty much whatever loadout you want, however you want it, for the best stats.” JGOD used METAGEN to find the best aggressive close-range weapon in the game. Based on a scoring scale of 10, the system gave the ISO 45 a perfect rating and included an optimal loadout for the weapon. The YouTuber copied the recommended build and tested it in the firing range. After testing the ISO 45 loadout, JGOD concluded that he wanted a loadout with better ADS speed. So in METAGEN, he emphasized movement and ADS speed, ADS time, and sprint to fire speed. The AI system recalculated and created a loadout with better mobility. JGOD is excited to use METAGEN to find viable loadouts that he wouldn’t have previously considered. “I am looking forward to using it and seeing what kind of hidden gems are there that maybe I haven’t thought of.” Best ISO 45 loadout in Warzone 2 Season 4 Here is the best ISO 45 loadout, according to METAGEN. Laser: 1MW Quick Fire laser – Stock: Demo Fade TAC – Rear Grip: EXP Shear – Ammunition: 5 Auto overpressured – Magazine: 45 Round Drum – For other powerful WZ2 loadouts, make sure to check our guide on the most meta weapons in Season 4.

JGOD urges Warzone 2 devs to nerf aim assist as it is “too strong” YouTube: JGODWarzone 2 expert JGOD believes that aim assist needs a nerf in Warzone 2 with it being “too strong,” but he isn’t expecting Infinity Ward to agree. Aim assist has long been a controversial topic in the Warzone community. It’s a gameplay mechanic designed to make aiming on a controller easier but some players and even pros believe that it has gotten too powerful. It mostly works by slowing down the user’s aim when they look near a target but that isn’t the only type of aim assist. Newer Call of Duty games also utilize rotational aim assist, an additional mechanic that partially tracks enemy movement for you if the left analog stick is being pushed in any direction. JGOD wants aim assist nerfed in Warzone 2 to restore skill gap JGOD has asked the Warzone 2 devs to consider nerfing aim assist but he isn’t expecting anything. The Warzone 2 expert posted a commentary on an analysis video showcasing how aim assist works in Call of Duty. At one point a viewer asked JGOD why Infinity Ward would nerf aim assist which he replied: “[Aim assist] is a little too strong and it doesn’t require much skill so [the devs] won’t nerf it but they should.” Timestamp of 9:27 Several commenters agreed with JGOD that the current state of aim assist in Warzone 2 is a problem as one user responded: “This video isn’t just for MnKB players to be upset about. If you are a good controller player you should be shocked by this too! Having such AA decreases the skill gap significantly.” A mouse and keyboard player chimed in with their view on aim assist: “As a mouse player, this is exactly why I avoid close-quarter fights as much as possible. I have no issue with controllers getting some aim assist, it’s the aim assist deniers that have convinced themselves it’s pure skill on their end.” Call of Duty is often seen as a console game and console gamers almost exclusively play on controller. The improvements to aim assist has helped controller players but left the average mouse player “at a disadvantage statistically,” as admitted by Infinity Ward’s co-studio head Patrick Kelly.

JGOD unveils Warzone’s best loadouts after Season 4 buffs & nerfs YouTube: JGOD/ActivisionWarzone content creator JGOD has revealed the top 10 best loadouts after the Season 4 Reloaded patch to help you pick up more wins and dominate your opponents. The Season 4 Reloaded update introduced a series of buffs & nerfs to multiple weapons in Warzone, shaking up meta and forcing players to experiment with a variety of guns.

Alongside the MAC-10, you’ll have an effective loadout that can shred foes at medium and short-range. 5. XM4 & Swiss K31 XM4 Muzzle: Agency Suppressor – Stock: Raider Pad – Ammunition: 45 Round – Rear Grip: Airborne Elastic Wrap – Optic: Microflex LED – Swiss K31 Muzzle: GRU Suppressor – Barrel: 24.9″ Combat Recon – Laser: SWAT 5mw Laser Sight – Rear Grip: Serpent Grip – Underbarrel: Bruiser Grip – Perks & Equipment Perks: E.O.D, Overkill, Amped – Equipment: C4, Heartbeat Sensor – If you’re looking for a loadout that can pick off enemies from afar as well as compete at medium range, this Swiss & XM4 setup should be your go-to. 4.

If you’re willing to put some time into practicing with the weapon, you’ll win the majority of your gunfights at medium range. On top of this, if any enemy squads attempt to push your position, you’ll be ready with your kitted out MAC-10 to take them out one by one. So, there you have it, that rounds off JGOD’s top 10 loadouts following the Season 4 Reloaded patch. Don’t forget to test out all of the loadouts and make adjustments to fit your playstyle.

JGOD unveils underrated Vanguard LMG loadout perfect for Warzone recoil strugglers ActivisionWarzone guru JGOD has got an experimental loadout for an underrated Vanguard LMG that is perfect for players who struggle to deal with recoil. It has been a few weeks since Raven Software decided to really shake things up in Warzone with the Season 3 update, as a whole host of weapon changes implemented a massive shift in the meta. New snipers have come to the forefront and replaced the Kar98, different Assault Rifles from all three games are now viable, and SMGs are ruling the day on both Caldera and Rebirth Island. However, if you want to try something a little bit more experimental, then JGOD has got the answer – Vanguard’s KG M40 LMG – as it fills a niche for players who struggle with recoil. The Warzone stats guru highlighted the powerful LMG in his May 21 video, noting that it has gone under the radar but is “noob-friendly” due to the low impact of its recoil. “I haven’t really seen it used much, even though it has, by far, some of the lowest recoil in all of Warzone, which usually kind of pushes it towards the noob-friendly side like the M13, Grau, and the Kilo” the YouTuber said, adding that it is “easy to use.” As the Vanguard LMG has low recoil to begin with, JGOD’s build for it focuses on buffing the aim down sight speed while also increasing it’s damage range to be an all-around beast. Best KG M40 Warzone loadout in Season 3 Muzzle: MX Silencer – Barrel: Reisdorf 720mm Shrouded – Underbarrel: M1941 Hand Stop – Optic: G16 2.5x – Stock: Krausnick 12V – Magazine: .30-06 60-round drum – Ammunition: Lengthened – Rear Grip: Polymer Grip – Perk 1: Tight Grip – Perk 2: On-Hand – As the YouTuber notes, the LMG has certainly gone under the radar when it comes to it’s pick rate. As per WZRanked stats, the KG only has a 1.48 pick rate and is the 19th most-used weapon currently. With JGOD shining a spotlight ton it, the weapon could vault up the charts before long. We’ll just have to wait and see.

JGOD unveils new long-range Warzone meta after Season 4 Reloaded update Twitter: JGOD / ActivisionWarzone’s Season 4 Reloaded update brought with it another massive shakeup of the battle royale’s meta, and resident aficionado JGOD has broken down what weapons you should bring with you to any long-range firefights. Warzone’s latest mid-season update dropped on July 14, and brought with it an absolutely massive set of weapon buffs and nerfs, as Raven Software took a big step towards their ultimate goal of increasing the BR’s time-to-kill across the board. As the dust from those changes settled, the game’s new meta slowly came into focus, and after speculating on what weapons might be must-haves after the balancing patch, Warzone expert JGOD revealed his top long-range loadout options for the second half of Season 4. Several LMGs sit at the top of JGOD’s list, including the already formidable Stoner 63, and the Bruen, which has returned to the meta after dominating it in previous seasons. A wide range of ARs are also viable after the shakeup, including Cold War selections like the FARA 83, Krig 6, C58, and AK-47 (if you can control its recoil). Those guns are joined by Modern Warfare’s M4A1, Grau 5.56, and CR-56 AMAX, which remains a powerful pick if you can land your headshots. There are also weapons like the Kilo 141 that have fallen off from the meta. Most notably, the Milano SMG — which absolutely dominated in early Season 4 — has been knocked down several notches and is no longer a viable pick at longer distances. Finally, for non-automatic long-range options, the Swiss K31 and Kar98k are still nasty snipers with quality ADS and rates of fire, and they both remain top-tier choices to pair with a close-range SMG or AR. Outside of his top choices, the YouTuber did note that the latest balancing sweep has created an “open meta” where guns that might not reach the absolute best TTK can still hold their own in the hands of competent players. JGOD also compared his own analysis with the data available on WZRanked, and his findings seem spot-on as practically all of the guns mentioned in his video have landed in the top 10 most-used weapons following the Season 4 Reloaded patch. The content creator also confirmed his plans to identify any changes in the close-range and sniper metas, which will likely be shared in upcoming videos. As Season 4 winds down and the hype for Season 5 heats up, make sure to check back in for all the latest Warzone news.

JGOD unveils new FAL Warzone loadout and it’s top tier ActivisionCall of Duty content creator JGOD has revealed his best FAL loadout that dominates players in Warzone. While Warzone’s FAL has been out of the meta spotlight for a while now, that doesn’t mean it still isn’t a viable option. In fact, JGOD’s FAL loadout demonstrates just how lethal this semi-automatic AR can be when kitted out with the right attachments. Not only is the FAL capable of taking down a fully armored enemy in as little as five shots, it can also obliterate foes across long to mid-range engagements. The FARA 83, C58, and Cold War AK47 may be among the most popular Assault Rifle options in Warzone Season 6, but that hasn’t stopped the FAL from wreaking havoc. Whether you’re tired of the game’s current meta weapons or a player looking to surprise your enemies with an off-meta pick looking, you’ll want to try out JGOD top-tier FAL loadout. JGOD’s FAL loadout Muzzle: Monolithic Suppressor – Barrel: XRK Marksman – Optic: VLK 3.0x Optic – Underbarrel: Ranger Foregrip – Ammunition: 30 Round Mags – JGOD’s FAL loadout is tailored around boosting the gun’s accuracy and overall damage range, making it particularly potent on Rebirth island and Verdansk. Both the XRK Marksman barrel and Ranger Foregrip help with the gun’s recoil control, so don’t be afraid to run and gun with this particular loadout. However, if you do find yourself in a long-range engagement, you’re best off repositioning or mounting for increased recoil control. “The FAL is actually very competitive up to about 60 to 70 meters,” says JGOD. If you’re trying to challenge people at incredibly long ranges, then you’re going to want to make sure you’re mounted as the recoil can tend to kick as you get closer to that trigger cap. It isn’t all that high, but it’s high enough for the gun to bounce and shake.” Timestamp of 0:26 The Monolithic Suppressor alongside the XRK barrel increases the FAL’s damage range by a whopping 32.5%, making these attachments vital if you wish to remain competitive across Verdansk. JGOD has also utilized the VLK 3.0x Optic with the T Pose reticle, which greatly improves your accuracy across all ranges. Rounding things off at the bottom is the 30 Round Mags. This gives you plenty of ammunition to kill multiple opponents, ensuring you have the best possible chance of securing those all-important squad wipes. While the FAL may no longer be the most popular AR in Warzone, JGOD’s loadout proves just how lethal it can be.

JGOD unveils “meta” Carl Gustaf Warzone loadout in Season 3 Reloaded JGOD/Raven SoftwareWarzone guru and YouTuber JGOD has revealed what he thinks is the best “meta” loadout for the new Carl Gustaf (H4 Blixen) SMG in Season 3 Reloaded. Warzone’s Season 3 Reloaded update has arrived and it’s introduced a fast travel system to Caldera, a fresh game mode, and a range of balance changes. Despite all of these exciting additions, it’s the brand new Carl Gustaf (H4 Blixen) SMG that’s stealing the spotlight, with players attempting to find the best loadout for the powerful weapon. Of course, it’s never an easy task to identify which attachments are the strongest on new guns, so it’s often better to let an expert do the thinking for you. Luckily, Warzone YouTuber JGOD has answers and has outlined the best “meta” loadout for the Carl Gustaf that pushes the weapon to its limits. JGOD’s “meta” Carl Gustaf Warzone loadout Attachments Muzzle: Recoil Booster – Barrel: Jonsson 9″ RMX – Optic: Slate Reflector – Stock: Removed Stock – Underbarrel: Mark VI Skeletal – Magazine: 7.62 Gorenko 54 Round Mag – Ammo Type: Lengthened – Rear Grip: Polymer Grip – Perk: Fleet – Perk1: Quick – When it comes to the Carl Gustaf or H4 Blixen, a lot of players are curious whether it can compete with the likes of the MP40, Owen Gun, and Welgun. Well, in JGOD’s opinion, the brand new SMG has a lot of potential and is a solid close to medium range weapon. In his loadout above, JGOD focuses on maximizing the Carl Gustaf’s TTK and even enhances the gun’s damage range with his choice of barrel. This means the weapon does carry more of a threat at medium range, making it a versatile and powerful choice on Caldera and Rebirth Island. It’s worth noting that if you’re primarily playing Solos, it’s better to use the 36 Round Mag to maximize your TTK. However, in Trios and Quads, having the extra bullets is absolutely essential. Keep in mind, you will want to run Overkill with this loadout as it allows you to run a Sniper or AR for long-range engagements. In the current meta, we recommend the STG44 or the Cooper Carbine, as both give you the ability to beam down opponents at long range. So, make sure to give this setup a try in one of your matches, and don’t be afraid to tweak it slightly to fit your playstyle.

JGOD unveils best “close-range meta” Warzone loadout in Season 3 update JGOD/Treyarch/ActivisionWarzone guru and YouTuber JGOD has revealed what he thinks is the best close-quarter loadout for dominating Caldera and Rebirth Island in Season 3 Classified Arms. Season 3 of Warzone has finally kicked off and it’s introduced Operation Monarch, two new weapons, and a range of significant balance changes to Raven Software’s battle royale. Although the community is enjoying these new additions, it can be extremely difficult to customize a meta loadout that can compete on Caldera and Rebirth Island. This is especially true for close-range setups, as there are so many SMGs, ARs, and shotguns to choose from, it’s hard to know which choices are the best in Classified Arms. Luckily, Warzone YouTuber JGOD has all the answers, and he’s outlined the strongest “close-quarter meta” loadout in Season 3. JGOD’s Owen Gun & Jak-12 loadout Owen Gun Muzzle: Recoil Booster – Barrel: Hockenson 142mm Rapid – Optic: Nydar Model 47 – Stock: Removed Stock – Underbarrel: m1941 Hand Stop – Magazine: 7.62 Gorenko 72 Round Mag – Ammo Type: Lengthened – Rear Grip: Fabric Grip – Perk: Acrobatic – Perk1: Quick – Jak 12 Muzzle: FORGE TAC Marauder – Barrel: ZLR J03699 Torrent – Laser: 5mW Laser – Magazine: 20 Round Drum Mags – Rear Grip: Stippled Grip Tape – Perks Double Time – Overkill – Amped – Despite receiving a nerf in the Season 3 update, JGOD has included the Owen Gun in his close-range meta setup as according to him, it’s still one of the “pound for pound” strongest guns in Warzone. With an absolutely lethal TTK and a huge amount of mobility, it thrives on both Rebirth Island and Caldera, making it an incredibly versatile pick. Not only that, the SMG is capable of holding 72 rounds of ammunition with the 7.62 Gorenko 72 Round Mag, making it easy to wipe out entire squads without having to reload. Finally, the Warzone guru rounds off his close-quarter setup with an old-school pick from Modern Warfare in the Jak-12. Despite being in the battle royale arsenal for a long-time, it’s still top-tier in confined spaces and will regularly catch enemies off-guard. If the Owen Gun and Jak-12 don’t suit your playstyle, check JGOD’s video above as he lays out a range of other setups that may fit you better. It’s worth remembering that attachments all come down to preference, so experimenting and changing them up will benefit your performance in the long run.

JGOD unveils abandoned Cold War AR that dominates Warzone’s last days Treyarch/ActivisionYouTuber and Warzone expert JGOD has unveiled an abandoned Cold War assault rifle build that’s perfect for Caldera’s closing days, claiming the EM2 is “nasty” at long-ranges. Warzone may be winding down given the imminent arrival of its successor, Warzone 2, but players are still eager to know the weapons they should be rocking in Caldera’s closing weeks. While guns like the Armaguerra 43 and Cooper Carbine are the most used (and therefore the most ‘meta’) in Season 5 Reloaded, some weapons can fly under the radar while being just as viable. One, according to Warzone statistician and expert JGOD, is the Black Ops Cold War EM2, a slow firing AR that was added to Treyarch’s title with Season 5 of the previous annual cycle. JGOD’s EM2 Warzone loadout for Season 5 Reloaded Despite being largely ignored in Vanguard’s cycle – sitting at a 0.19% pick rate according to WZRanked – it can shred enemies at longer ranges and is perfect to dominate Caldera’s closing days. Stating it’s perfect for long ranges, he said: “That brings us to a little bit more of a higher skill weapon, which is the EM2. It’s always been nasty, it used to be significantly more broken but this is where it’s landed because of the change to health.” His full class loadout is below, maximizing its range and damage at the expense of speed and handling. This shouldn’t matter too much though, as players should mainly be relying on the EM2 at longer ranges. Muzzle: Agency Suppressor – Barrel: 25.8” Task Force – Optic: Axial Arms 3x – Underbarrel: Field Agent Grip – Magazine: 40 Round Mag – As previously stated, players should only trust the EM2 at longer ranges. Its slow fire rate means it will usually be outgunned at close range but, for enemies further away, there are few weapons that can shred armor and health as quickly. It does bounce around slightly but some time with the weapon will ensure players can maintain accuracy, even when aiming for opponents at considerable distances. Drop in with the EM2 in the back pocket and you’ll be well set for some late Warzone wins.

JGOD unconvinced Warzone 2 meta will change despite nerfs to Hemlock & Cronen JGOD/ActivisionWarzone 2 stats guru JGOD is unsure the meta in the battle royale is going to change all that much even after the ISO Hemlock and Cronen Squall were nerfed. Over the last few weeks, the meta in Warzone 2 has been dominated by the ISO Hemlock and Cronen Squall. The latter has been seeing a pretty big uptake in Ranked play, while the Hemlock had been the go-to gun for more casual players. That had recently swapped positions when it comes to pick rate too, with the Squall outpacing the Hemlock to take the top spot. Though, that happened just before the pair of them were hit with a nerf. The May 31st update saw both assault rifles hit just a little bit, with them both having damage values tweaked in one way or another. Though, JGOD isn’t expecting the update to massively change the current meta. JGOD picks Cronen Squall & ISO Hemlock replacement if Warzone 2 meta changes The Warzone 2 stats guru highlighted the changes shortly after they went live, noting that the Squall’s recoil could actually benefit from it. As he moved on, the YouTuber stated that if anything is going to replace them moving forward, it’ll be the Lachmann 556, but that comes with a few caveats. “I’m leaning towards the Lachmann 556, if these are noticeable,” JGOD said. “If these aren’t noticeable, still going to be the Cronen. At the end of the day, it just does too much damage, but we’ll see if this was enough.” The Lachmann 556 has been highlighted by a few YouTubers over the last few weeks as a potential replacement, but those were expecting nerfs in Season 4. The STB 556 has also been put in the spotlight as a potential go-to, but who knows how things are going to shake out now. We’ll just have to wait and see.

JGOD trolls Warzone 2 players by faking world record win ActivisionJGOD baited the Warzone 2 community into believing that he broke the battle royale sequel’s kill record. Battle royale games are inherently casual and boomed in popularity due to their easy pickup-and-play nature. Despite that, Warzone 2 managed to foster a growing competitive community. Treyarch created Ranked Play, which finally provides players with a platform to test their skills. But before Ranked Play emerged, players had to take the onus upon themselves to showcase their talent. One such method came through creators one-upping one another in securing nukes. For example, one competitor accomplished the feat by only using melee weapons. Another classic way for players to compare their skills comes through kill races. Creators race to earn the most kills during a Warzone 2 match. The format is still used in competitive tournaments and is a staple of competitive WZ, but JGOD poked fun at the obsession over high-kill games in a clever video. JGOD tricks Warzone 2 community On August 14, JGOD posted a video and explained his plan to pull a fast one on the WZ2 community. The YouTuber filled a 50-player custom lobby with his viewers and proceeded to rack up over 100 kills and a win. “We are going to meme a world record. In the beginning, so I can land at get this cool clip of me being like I am getting the world record, and I will clip that with the end of me winning the match.” Players fell hook, line, and sinker for the final product on Twitter. BadBoy Beaman saw the clip and claimed: “At this point, it’s not even worth playing the da*n game. Absolute clown show.” JGOD held nothing back and responded: “Was a bait tweet, and you took it. Glad you took the same amount of time on this that you spend researching your videos.” A Warzone 2 player plauded JGOD for his efforts: “You had the whole wz community taking the bait, well played.” The next time you see a Warzone content creator get over 100 kills, it’s worth checking twice before jumping to any conclusions.

JGOD suggests new Warzone perks that could be added in Season 5 JGOD/ActivisionPopular Warzone YouTuber JGOD has picked out a few perks that could fit the bill for the two new additions coming to the battle royale at some point, including a counter to Dead Silence. While Warzone is still incredibly popular with players across the globe, there are a few problems beyond the cheating epidemic that are annoying other fans. For most, the biggest problem outside of cheating revolves around Dead Silence. The Field Upgrade makes it so you are impossible to hear for a few seconds, meaning you can easily pick up some backstabbing kills on unsuspecting players. This isn’t how it’s always worked in previous CoD titles, though. As many players will point out, Dead Silence was only intended to make you quieter, but not completely silent. You could be heard at certain steps and with the sound cranked all the way up. Well, the Warzone devs are looking to solve the issue with a buff to High Alert, as well as bringing two “Warzone specific” perks to the battle royale at some point in the future. That’s where JGOD comes in. The popular Warzone YouTuber picked out a few perks from previous CoD’s that could fit the bill, including Lightweight, Dexterity, Toughness, Awareness, Recon, ICU, Ping, Clandestine, and Escalation. As he notes, each would have its own unique uses in the battle royale, with Awareness being a possible additional counter to Dead Silence, given how it makes footsteps around you just a little louder. Timestamp of 16:00 The YouTuber also points to, something like ICU could be a way to buff Quick Fix, while Lightweight could be built into Dead Silence if they ever wanted to buff that at some point. While he, and other players, doubt that Raven will come up with a totally new perk for Warzone, it’s not out of the question. But, as we’ve seen with Warzone over the last year or so, the devs aren’t averse to digging into the franchise’s deep history for answers.

JGOD slams major Warzone update dropping during $400k WSOW tournament YouTube: JGOD/ActivisionActivision dropped a new Warzone patch ahead of the prestigious World Series of Warzone tournament, with a whopping $400k prize pool on the line. Now, JGOD has slammed the decision to make such big changes during a tournament of this caliber. The World Series of Warzone tournament saw Europe’s best duos go head to head for $300k, followed by a solo game with the winner taking the entirety of the $100k prize pool. As normal, Activision released their bi-weekly update for Warzone on September 15. The new patch that was released took quite a toll on the game’s everchanging meta, leaving players in somewhat of a frenzy trying to figure out the best loadouts with minimal time. Popular Warzone content creator JGOD spotted the difficulties it could cause and was quick to voice his concerns with the new patch, criticizing Activision on how the changes would go live mid-tournament. The Warzone update released significant changes for some weapons, tweaking a total of eight weapons, and four attachments, and 150 of Europe’s best players would experience the changes right in the middle of a tournament, with a life-changing amount of cash on the line. Read More: Warzone pro’s mom interrupts $100k match – Popular Warzone creator JGOD spoke out on Twitter about his concerns with the new patch going live, tweeting a sarcastic joke “Another weapon balancing pass. Hopefully, there isn’t $400k on the line tomorrow for a Warzone Tourney.” The creator followed up, voicing his concerns “to top it off, these changes will take place mid tourney with EU players, so most won’t know about the changes until they are already playing.” and to top it off, these changes will take place mid tourney with EU players, so most wont know about the changes until they are already playing. — James – JGOD (@JGODYT) September 15, 2021 Despite the concerning changes mid-tournament, the World Series of Warzone was one to remember, with an enormous and generous prize pool of $400k that changed lives for the winning players. Team Recrent came away with the $100k Captain’s Cup, with MethodzSick and DagaT1 winning the $200k duo tournament, and finally closing it out with Chowh1 winning the sole prize of $100k in the solo match, rounding out the insane event.

JGOD shuts down Aydan Warzone hacking claims amid wild theories YouTube: JGOD/AydanPopular Warzone YouTuber JGOD stepped in to shut down claims that star streamer Aydan ‘Aydan’ Conrad uses hacks after an old video resurfaced and became central to some wild theories. As cheating has continued to get worse and worse in Warzone, some of the best players in the game have been accused of using hacks themselves. S0me players have spouted off wild theories and believe that the top-tier competitors must have help either in the form of aimbots, wallhacks, or are being blessed with easy lobbies. A host of these Warzone stars have started streaming with a whole bunch of cameras to prove that there is nothing wrong with what they’re doing. Though, that doesn’t stop the claims. Most recently, NYSL content creator Aydan has come under fire from some players, believing that he’s been using cheats to have constant UAVs and has wallhacks of some kind. This, of course, isn’t the case. As JGOD noted in his debunking, the video that has been shared around by some skeptical fans is almost six months and actually shows an old bug that gave players a ‘permanent’ UAV. He notes that the widely-shared video has been taken out of context somewhat, given that Twitch VODs are removed after a few months, so you can’t see what happens before the bug hits. “You can take the tinfoil hat off, it’s ok, it’s just a bug,” the YouTuber concluded. A lot of Comments asking about a Clip of Aydan from 4 months ago where he has an Kill Cam UAV Bug because they think he slipped up and showed his “”Cheats”” Almost as if people didn’t ever play the game to experience such bugs. pic.twitter.com/latBwlLeO8 — James – JGOD (@JGODYT) August 8, 2021 Some players still didn’t believe that the clip couldn’t not be showing cheating, so JGOD further pointed out that “Warzone has/had several kill cam and map bugs since it came out.” Only people who haven’t played the battle royale for some time wouldn’t recognize that, he says, which leads to some support for the wild theories. It was kill cam bug that showed enemy pov, it worked for uavs, auav, and recons among other things. Just like the heartbeat kill cam bug. Or the unlimited ping ones. Warzone has/had several kill cam and map bugs since it came out. Unless you are brand new or havent played. — James – JGOD (@JGODYT) August 8, 2021 Of course, when some people get stuck in one line of thinking, they’re never going to change their mind, so it wouldn’t be shocking if they keep believing Aydan actually cheats. While the NYSL star does love to troll and play into the claims, JGOD shows they’re easily debunked, so maybe they’ll slow down just a little.

JGOD shows why Warzone’s QBZ is a deadly AR for players with good aim JGOD / ActivisionCall of Duty Warzone content creator JGOD reveals how the QBZ-83 could be relied on when dropping into Verdansk. JGOD goes in-depth, comparing the QBZ-83 to the popular Krig 6. There have been plenty of assault rifles to rule Warzone throughout the months. One AR that hasn’t really made its appearance into the “meta” is the QBZ, but the weapon just might start to creep up after Season 4’s weapon changes. JGOD revealed that the QBZ was one of his weapons in his top 10 loadouts after the release of the Season Four Reloaded patch. In JGOD’s latest YouTube video he breaks down QBZ-83 with a side-by-side comparison with the Krig 6. Here’s how the QBZ-83 can benefit top-tier players who are consistent with their aim. JGOD’s best QBZ Warzone loadout JGOD recommends that players interested in the QBZ run this class: Muzzle: Agency Suppressor – Barrel: 16.5″ Ranger – Optic: Axial Arms 3x – Underbarrel: Field Agent Grip – Ammunition: Stanag 60 Rnd Drum – This loadout gives great recoil control and a fat magazine, which work well in tandem considering the gun’s damage profile. As the YouTuber and Warzone analyst explains, this version of the QBZ is in some ways even better than a popular meta AR like the Krig 6. QBZ has faster TTK than the Krig JGOD starts by showing the recoil patterns and time to aim down sights. The QBZ takes the trophy in both categories as it has a faster ADS time than the Krig and as you can see in the picture above, the recoil is a lot easier to control than the Krig. This is important because this is where the skill gap comes into play for the QBZ. The only situation you can find yourself wanting to use this over the Krig would be for players that can consistently hit chest and headshots. The time-to-kill for the QBZ is faster by 20 ms than the Krig for both the chest and the head, while requiring the same amount of bullets as the Krig. This means if you get into a gunfight with a player using a Krig, you can out-gun them with your QBZ — as long as you hit the chest and up. The damage drop off on the QBZ is much higher than most ARs in the game and you see a significant drop off when hitting stomach or leg shots. The TTK does heavily rely on hitting shots in the head regardless of range so you might not notice the change if you are not consistent with your shots. So if you think you have the aim to handle it, JGOD recommends giving this gun a try in Verdansk.

JGOD shows why Warzone’s new Tempered perk is better than Ghost YouTube: JGODWhile Ghost and Overkill have dominated the perk 2 slot in Warzone since the game’s release, YouTuber JGOD has revealed that it may be worth running Tempered instead if you’re an aggressive player. Whether you’re a fan of the Krig 6’s low recoil or the Kar98k’s lethality at long-range, it’s likely you’ve been using either Overkill or Ghost alongside your loadout. For countless Warzone Seasons, these have been the only two options worth running in the perk 2 slot. Well, following the Season 5 update, there are two new perks that have been introduced into the game, with Tempered being the new rival for Overkill and Ghost. While a lot of players have overlooked this armor-related perk, JGOD is convinced that it can be better than Ghost if you’re an extremely aggressive player. JGOD explains why Tempered is perfect for aggressive players The Tempered perk allows players to fully restore their armor with two plates instead of the usual three. While this may seem like a relatively minor ability at first, JGOD explains how significant it could be when two aggressive players push each other. After doing a few tests, JGOD noted that the typical full armor up takes around 5.6 seconds, whereas with Tempered it only takes 4 seconds. As he explains, this could be the difference-maker in a confined building after an aggressive push on an enemy. With both players looking to armor up, the one with Tempered will have a huge advantage in the gunfight. Of course, this only applies if you’re a player looking to take skirmishes and close-range duels. Topic starts at 1:18 Overall, JGOD explains that the best perk out of Ghost, Overkill, and Tempered all comes down to personal preference and playstyle. If you’re not an aggressive player, there’s really no reason to run the new perk when Ghost can shield you from enemy radars. Despite this, the YouTuber did reveal that Tempered will always be strong on Plunder, as players usually only spawn in with two plates, so having the extra armor will always be worth it. The best way to see if the perk is for you is to jump into game and try it out for yourself, it may just become your go-to for the perk 2 slot.

JGOD shows why Warzone players should change to ‘new’ suppressor ActivisionYouTuber JGOD has explained why Warzone players should be using the ‘new’ basic suppressor in CoD’s battle royale, after it was completely reworked by developers Raven. Popular Warzone content creator JGOD is well known for shedding light on underrated Warzone attachments, and has now explained why players should be seriously considering the game’s basic suppressor on BOCW weapons. The basic suppressor was overhauled during the Season 3 Reloaded update, which dropped in-game on May 20. While the GRU Suppressor has long been the meta on BOCW weapons in order to compete with the Agency Suppressor, that might be about to change. In the May 20 update, the basic Suppressor was overhauled, meaning it now gives players sound suppression, a reduced ADS time, better bullet velocity and a faster sprint-to-fire time. The only negative of the ‘new’ suppressor is a decrease to effective damage range. Naturally, JGOD tested every aspect of the attachments, and concluded just why the new suppressor is a perfectly viable option. In Warzone’s current build, it boosts bullet velocity by roughly 10-15%, and boosts ADS and sprint-to-fire time by a small amount. Its only negative is a range reduction of 15%, rising to 25% on LMGs. As such, JGOD recommended it for almost all close-range weapons: “If you’re gonna be using a long-range option only, like the Krig… you’re gonna wanna use the GRU,” he said. “If you’re gonna use it more for close range, go with the regular suppressor.” The weapon’s handling buffs, paired with an increase to bullet velocity, means that close-range weapons will essentially see their damage range drop off negated by the improvements the regular suppressor now brings. The GRU suppressor has been the meta muzzle attachment on Black Ops Cold War weapons for some time now, so it may take some time for that to shift despite the obvious new buffs to the basic suppressor. For now, stick it on your close-range weapons and get ahead of the curve.

JGOD shows off secret RPD buff making it viable in Warzone YouTube: JGOD/ActivisionWarzone YouTuber JGOD has highlighted a secret change to the RPD that makes it a slightly more viable option in the battle royale, but can it actually crack the meta? Since Warzone first launched, Raven Software have dropped a whole host of updates onto the battle royale, adjusting weapon balancing and other tweaks every so often. The majority of these changes are announced by the developers, giving players a breakdown of what exactly they’re changing. However, there are sometimes changes that go under the radar. As a result of the devs not announcing every change, players are left to find if something has actually changed, with stats gurus like JGOD and TrueGameData leading the charge on giving fans the real insight into what weapons are actually worth using. In his October 24 video, JGOD noted that he’d received a tip about a secret change to the RPD’s recoil that some fans believe could help vault the LMG into the meta. As the YouTuber noted, the weapon’s recoil now has more verticality and no longer stops moving after 20 or so shots like the MP5. This, as JGOD touches on, makes it a bit better to use as you only have to pull down ever so slightly to keep the recoil under control. There hasn’t been any sort of damage increase to the weapon, and its time to kill (TTK) is still pretty lofty compared to its rivals, the MG82 and even the FiNN. JGOD believes it’s still just outside of the meta, but “lower-skill” players might want to try the RPD as the recoil makes it “easier to use” compared to some other weapons. In terms of the RPD breaking its way into the meta, JGOD adds that it would likely need an increase to its rate of fire, but that is unlikely to happen as that’s one stat the devs rarely change. Though, if you want to get experimental in Warzone and mix up your loadouts, there is no harm in giving the RPD a try.

JGOD shows off “no recoil” Warzone loadout for new KG M40 in Season 2 YouTube: JGOD/ActivisionWarzone guru JGOD has revealed the best loadout for the new KG M40 AR in Season 2 and it’s perfect for beaming enemies down from a distance. Warzone Season 2 has finally arrived and the patch has shaken up the meta by introducing two new weapons to the game. Although both guns are strong, it’s the KG M40 assault rifle that’s getting most of the attention due to its pinpoint accuracy. This makes it absolutely lethal on Caldera when you’re looking to eliminate opponents at medium to long range, especially for players who struggle with recoil control. Of course, in order to get the most out of the weapon, you’ll need a top-tier loadout and luckily, Warzone YouTuber JGOD has broken down which attachments work best on the new AR. JGOD’s KG M40 Warzone loadout Attachments Muzzle: MX Silencer – Barrel: Reisdorf 720mm Shrouded – Optic: G16 2.5x – Stock: Krausnick 12V – Underbarrel: M1941 Hand Stop – Magazine: .30-06 60 Round Drums – Ammo Type: Lengthened – Rear Grip: Polymer Grip – Perk: Tight Grip – Perk1: Fully Loaded – JGOD’s KG M40 build focuses on making the AR laser beam accurate from a distance, making it easy to take down enemies from afar without the risk of missing your shots. He achieves this by combining the recoil control of the MX Silencer and the bullet velocity of the Reisdorf 720mm Shrouded barrel. Not only that, the addition of the Tight Grip perk and Polymer Grip only bolsters the weapon’s recoil further as well as adding an element of flinch resistance. Finishing off the loadout with .30-06 60 Round Drums and Lengthened bullets, JGOD ensures the weapon has competitive TTK at long-range, As JGOD mentions in his video, the KG M40 is not going to rival a lot of the meta ARs in terms of TTK, but it will stand out as a low recoil alternative. This makes it perfect for players who tend to miss their shots and are looking for a reliable AR that’s easy to control in long-range engagements. Remember, to unlock the new weapon you will have to reach a specific level, so check out our guide if you haven’t got your hands on it yet.

JGOD shows off new Warzone Welgun loadout that’s “better than the MP40” Treyarch/ActivisionWarzone guru JGOD has revealed the best loadout for the new Welgun SMG in Season 1 Reloaded, claiming that it’s “better than the MP40”. Warzone Pacific’s Season 1 Reloaded update has finally arrived and it’s safe to say the patch has shaken up the meta. Alongside a variety of important bug fixes, a brand new weapon was added to the game in the form of the Welgun. The pint-sized SMG hasn’t been in Caldera for long but it’s already building up a reputation for its lethal TTK and impressive mobility. While the MP40 remains the most popular weapon in the game, JGOD believes a specific Welgun build has the potential to take over as the top SMG setup. Luckily, he’s outlined exactly what attachments you’ll need to maximize the Welgun’s strengths and dominate your matches with the new weapon. JGOD’s Welgun Warzone loadout Attachments Muzzle: Recoil Booster – Barrel: 120mm Gawain Short – Optic: Slate Reflector – Stock: Gawain Skeletal – Underbarrel: m1941 Hand Stop – Magazine: 9mm 64 Round Mags – Ammo Type: Incendiary – Rear Grip: Taped Grip – Proficiency: Frenzy – Kit: Quick – JGOD’s build above focuses on enhancing the Welgun’s overall damage output by increasing the SMG’s fire rate and bullet velocity. He achieves this by combining the fire rate of the 120mm Gawain Short and the bullet velocity of the 9mm 64 Round Mags. Not only that, the addition of the Quick perk allows you to rush enemies aggressively and take them down in a matter of seconds with the Incendiary ammo. Finishing off the loadout with the Taped Grip and m1941 Hand Stop will ensure you always land your shots and give the weapon an extra level of stability. Comparing the Welgun to the meta MP40, JGOD has revealed that the build above does have an overall faster TTK. However, it relies on you hitting chest shots consistently to maximize the gun’s damage. So, if you’re looking for another mobile SMG that packs a punch, it may be time to pick up the Welgun and start leveling it up on Caldera. Remember, to unlock the new weapon you will have to complete a challenge, so check out our guide if you haven’t got your hands on it yet.

JGOD shows off “easy to use” Cold War AR that still beams in Warzone Treyarch/Activision/ShawnPRecoil control is a difficult skill to master in Warzone, but luckily JGOD has showcased an “easy to use” Cold War AR that makes beaming enemies simple in Season 4 Reloaded. With the Season 4 Reloaded patch opening up the AR meta in Warzone and allowing players to choose from a broader range of powerful guns, it’s made it extremely difficult to pick out a strong and reliable weapon. While some members of the community gravitate towards the most popular options, sometimes it can be better to go for comfort and guns with minimal kickback. Although you won’t have the quickest TTK in the lobby, you will hit most of your shots and take down opponents easily at long range. Well, Warzone expert JGOD has revealed an AR in Season 4 Reloaded that’s perfect for players who struggle with recoil and want an “easy to use” gun that beams from a distance. Best Vargo 52 Warzone loadout in Season 4 Reloaded Attachments Muzzle: GRU Suppressor – Barrel: 18.6″ Task Force – Optic: Axial Arms 3x – Magazine: Spetsnaz 60 Rnd – Underbarrel: Spetsnaz Speedgrip – During his long-range meta video, JGOD takes the time to highlight the Vargo 52, a weapon that’s been severely underrated and currently has a 0.4% pick rate in Season 4 Reloaded. The gun may not match the TTK of the KG M40 or the NZ-41, but it’s incredibly “easy to use” and has almost no recoil at long range. This makes it extremely deadly as even players that struggle to control kickback can beam opponents on Caldera and refine their gunskill. JGOD’s build for the weapon maximizes the Vargo’s bullet velocity without sacrificing the gun’s constant stability, making it a solid choice in the latest patch. Topic starts at 4:04 As the Vargo specializes in eliminating enemies at long range, it’s well worth running the Overkill perk and using a meta SMG. We recommend utilizing the H4 Blixen or Marco 5, but any close-quarter build that you’re comfortable using will also work well. So, although the Vargo has been forgotten by most of the community, it’s a Cold War weapon that can still hold its own and is definitely worth testing on Caldera in your next match.

JGOD shows how Warzone’s new XM4 buff makes it deadly at long range ActivisionIn Call of Duty: Warzone’s July 2 patch, the devs not only brought back the game’s FARA 83 nerfs, but also added a buff to the XM4. As YouTuber JGOD demonstrates, that recoil buff could be enough to make the XM4 a long-range danger. A Season 4 quick patch, Raven Software rolled out, then pulled an update on June 30 before bringing it back on July 2 — this time with a tweak. Originally, the patch simply nerfed the FARA, C58, and Nail Gun, but devs decided to help the XM4 as well. The XM4 was already buffed to start Season 4: its neck multiplier was increased and numerous attachments were buffed. While those attachment changes were nerfed for most ARs in the July 2 patch, they weren’t implemented for the XM4. Already one of Warzone’s best SMG builds, now the XM4 has the damage and control to be a possible long-range option. As JGOD proves, this new recoil pattern could be enough to make the AR a viable meta option from distance. Long Range XM4 Even More Viable in Warzone now after the Recoil Change today pic.twitter.com/72PMgS5dCQ — James – JGOD (@JGODYT) July 2, 2021 While the XM4’s recoil pattern still has its notorious jump at the start, it immediately smooths out and runs consistently vertical, slightly leaned to the right. This is in stark contrast to its former pattern, which went vertical before jerking down, to the right, and then upward at a sharper diagonal. While this pattern is unlikely to be as consistent and clean as no-recoil ARs like the FARA, Grau, and Kilo — there’s a reason why those latter two receive minimal play. The line between damage and recoil is a tough one to toe, but this XM4 buff might be enough to put it in play. As JGOD previously explained, the XM4’s versatility already made it the best overall gun in Season 4. He noted that its high damage and mobility were perfect for SMG and sniper-support builds, while the long-range loadout had potential. As can be seen in the TTK chart, the XM4 long-range build is essentially only weaker than the high-recoil AMAX and slow-firing-rate C58 up to 40 meters — and then past 50 meters it’s only behind the aforementioned C58. Considering damage output, firing rate, and this newfound recoil pattern, the XM4 could therefore be the strongest long-range AR in the market. If you need a loadout for it, the one in the TTK chart should work, but you can also check out classes from Warzone creators and pros like JGOD and Aydan.

JGOD shows how to prevent recoil on new Warzone weapons ActivisionWarzone Pacific and Vanguard weapons are finally here but before hopping into a match JGOD reveals the best ways to prevent recoil on your guns. The new Warzone Pacific update integrated 40 guns from Vanguard into the battle royale. Players have quickly noticed that most of the new weapons are packed with insane recoil and very hard to control. While players continue to test out different loadouts to dominate Caldera, JGOD has provided a guide to creating no recoil weapons. JGOD shows best Warzone attachments to reduce recoil In his YouTube video, JGOD pulls up the STG, one of Vanguard’s most popular weapons, and compares its base recoil pattern will different attachments. He breaks down every single slot and shows how the recoil is changed with that specific attachment equipped. From his testing he revealed which ones are the best to reduce recoil: Muzzle: Mercury Silencer – Barrel: VDD 760mm 05B – Optic: 1229/Slate 3.25x Custom – Stock: VDD 27 Precision – Underbarrel: M1930 Strife Angled – Rear Grip: Polymer Grip – While these were only tested on the STG, JGOD claims that they should work similarly on other weapons especially if they are in the same class. “I was able to copy some of those fundamentals and apply them to other weapons and notice a significant improvement.” Each of these attachments did the best at reducing the spread of the bullets which makes the recoil very easy to control. Some of the attachments barely made a difference and JGOD said those can come down to preference but overall these did the best job to fully maximize each slot to mitigate recoil.

JGOD shows how powerful Warzone Weapon Trade Stations can be Activision / JGODWarzone players have completed the community challenge and unlocked the Weapon Trade Stations across Rebirth Island, and JGOD is showing off the true power of these machines. The Weapon Trade Stations were introduced in the Warzone Season 2 Reloaded update. These were finally activated on March 27 as players completed the first task in the Community Challenge. Now, these vending machine-like stations are setup across the entirety of Rebirth, and players like JGOD are showing off the true potential that these hold. How strong are Weapon Trade Stations in Warzone? Also, in Quads you can take both loadout weapons and buy another loadout with the money traded, plus get all the other free stuff. https://t.co/qeKipRvyEr pic.twitter.com/d8m6FPmU5a — James – JGOD (@JGODYT) March 27, 2022 After the WTS went live, JGOD immediately hopped into a game and tested out the new mechanic, and his findings were quite interesting. While it’s pretty straight forward, JGOD revealed that you can take two weapons, trade them for different guns and also get enough money to buy another loadout drop. Each legendary weapon gives you $1,200, so if you have four players that trade in eight weapons, then you will have well over $7,500 and can purchase you own. This can be useful if you and your squad battle a team that is already looted up. You can kill them, take their weapons and trade them in to stack up the money. Redditor ‘Phantom1806’ also showed how overpowered these new stations are on Rebirth. Since people are able to respawn on Rebirth, they were able to accumulate over “15 loadouts in one match.” As seen in the picture, there are plenty of Precision Airstrikes, Munitions boxes, and traded weapons on the floor. This is adding a brand-new strategy to Warzone as people can have a new way to stack up killstreaks and weapons. Loot will no longer be wasted as you can turn enemies guns into cash, equipment, and more.

JGOD shows how CoD Vanguard’s blindfire will be “huge problem” for Warzone YouTube: JGOD/ActivisionPopular Warzone YouTuber JGOD says Call of Duty Vanguard’s Blind Fire mechanic could be a “huge problem” given how it’s appeared in the first few bits of gameplay footage. With the Black Ops Cold War year almost hitting its ending point, it’s finally been revealed that CoD: Vanguard will take its place and release later this year. As all the rumors and leaks foretold, players will be headed back to the World War 2 period for the campaign and multiplayer – and Warzone is expected to get a makeover with a new map. However, that’s not all. A blindfire mechanic – which looks like it’s right out of Gears of War – will also be introduced to bring an extra dynamic to fights. Though, it could cause a few headaches. After a bit of gameplay was finally revealed at Gamescom, popular CoD YouTuber JGOD delivered a brief breakdown on the new mechanics and quickly spotted a glaring issue. “Looking at it (blindfire) a little closer, it looks like it reduces hipfire spread as a benefit the same way normal mounting helps with recoil, which is a huge problem especially if you can use weapons with hipfire builds,” he tweeted, referring to one of Warzone’s popular MP5 setups. Though, he also looked at things a little bit more in-depth too, noting that there may have to be specific map design features from the devs so that blindfire is an option. Looking at it a little closer, it looks like it reduces hipfire spread as a benefit the same way normal mounting helps with recoil, which is a huge problem especially if you can use weapons with hipfire builds. No stock, 5mw, Merc, short barrel, and extended mag blind firing 🤣 https://t.co/IVqaLMZFnK — James – JGOD (@JGODYT) August 25, 2021 “My thinking is that the cover has to be a certain height so there would be clear map designs for you to use this mechanic,” JGOD added in his follow-up video, noting that it wasn’t happening automatically in every scenario. If that carried over into multiplayer, that would mean that positions with blindfire could be extremely powerful – especially if guns fire just as JGOD pointed out. Timestamp of 3:30 Of course, what has been revealed so far isn’t the finished product. There is still alpha and beta tests for players to get their hands dirty with. If the mechanic pops its head up in those and proves to be game-breaking in any way, well, the devs would need to address it. So, we’ll have to wait and see how it plays out.

JGOD shows how “broken” Warzone scope turns C58 into an absolute laser Twitter, @JGODYT / ActivisionWhen Warzone’s devs changed 42 guns in Season 4 Reloaded’s patch, many wondered where the meta would go. The C58 is an early winner and JGOD has shown why a “broken” attachment is making it so beastly. The C58 got a fair amount of balance changes in the S4 update, including a nerf to its easily managed recoil. Understandably, most expected the gun to fall from its status as a top-two AR in Verdansk. But players have been using a certain scope for the C58, noting that it felt much better than the traditional Axial Arms 3x. This scope, the Royal & Kross 4x, is used in popular loadouts by streamers like SuperEvan and Swagg. Now, YouTuber and Warzone analyst JGOD has shown why the C58 is still getting so much play at the top level. It turns out the scope doesn’t just feel better, it literally is better and gives players an incredibly easy recoil pattern. As you can see in JGOD’s picture, the recoil pattern varies widely for the C58 depending on what scope you’re using. With a Reflex sight, the gun’s pattern is entirely vertical with a slight curve. With the Axial Arms 3x, it’s a tighter vertical spread with a slightly wider curve. With the Royal & Kross 4x? That thing barely moves upward. The pattern is basically a nudge upward followed by a nudge to the left and further upward. In total, the 4x’s recoil is seemingly twice as contained as the others. The standard class for the C58 can be seen above, as the best loadout uses the Agency Suppressor, Task Force, 4x, Field Agent Grip, and typically the 55-round mag. While damage multipliers were nerfed on the gun, the scope’s “broken” recoil pattern still helps it remain a beast in Warzone. On the plus side for people who are sick of the C58 and, on the down side for people who are enjoying it, Raven Software seem to have realized that something is wrong. We’re aware. This will be addressed very soon. Enjoy the rest of your weekend! — Raven Software (@RavenSoftware) July 18, 2021 The Warzone devs responded to JGOD and revealed that a fix for the attachment will be coming “very soon.” So if you wanted to use the blaster, hurry up before it gets patched.

JGOD shows fastest ways to level Vanguard weapons for Warzone Activision / JGODWith the release of Call of Duty: Vanguard, Warzone guru JGOD showed off the fastest ways to level up your weapons so you can use them when Season 1 drops. Warzone’s Vanguard integration will come in Season 1, which is scheduled for December 2. This will bring the new map Caldera, Vanguard specific modes, along with all the weapons from the game. Interestingly, Vanguard weapons can have up to 10 attachments, which means a lot of unlocking to do if you want fully kitted classes. But, thankfully, JGOD has some recommendations for how to level guns up as fast as possible. Fastest ways to level up Vanguard weapons for Warzone Warzone content creator JGOD is usually on top of the ball when it comes to tips and he is not disappointing with Vanguard. Read More: Vanguard players ecstatic over changes from beta to launch: “feels like a different game” – In his latest video, he shows the best techniques to level up your Vanguard weapons so they will be max level by Season 1’s Warzone integration. Most guns go up to level 70, which requires around 150,000 XP to max it out. So, to get started on that large mission for XP, JGOD said to decide which game mode you’re best at. Even though Search and Destroy can give you the most XP, it is still more time-efficient to play what you can get the most kills and score in. Here’s his full list of the fastest ways to level up Vanguard weapons: Play the game mode that you can get the highest score per minute in. – Play Blitz pacing at all times, as there are more people to get in gunfights with. – Take advantage of Operators’ favorite weapon as it grants bonus XP. – Focus on ARs and SMGs as they are more likely to become Warzone meta. – 4/32 Weapons Maxed after Day 1 of #Vanguard A lot of Fun with all the changes made from the Beta I still wish the TTK was a hair slower and visibility was better in certain spots. Also, hopefully the Packet Burst works itself out. — James – JGOD (@JGODYT) November 5, 2021 On the first day, JGOD used these methods and was able to max four weapons. He does not recommend playing Zombies to level up as he calculated that you only get around 12 XP per kill which means you need to slaughter over 12,000 zombies to max one weapon. How long does it take to max out a Vanguard weapon It will take on average about six hours to max out one weapon. Currently, there are 32 weapons in the game, which means you are looking at around 192 hours or 8 days of gameplay to complete all the weapons. Obviously, the fastest way is to use these methods above and combine them with Double Weapons XP tokens or special event weekends, as you will be able to cut the time in half. You can also wait for Season 1 on December 2 and play Warzone Pacific’s Plunder mode to level up specific Vanguard weapons.

JGOD showcases major changes to meta Warzone optics after May 27 update Twitter: JGOD/ActivisionPopular Warzone YouTube JGOD has highlighted some pretty big changes to certain optics following the May 27 update to the battle royale. It’s been well over a year since Warzone first sprung onto the market and become one of the premier battle royale titles around, and the game continues to evolve at pace. Raven Software are releasing updates on a regular basis, making changes to the 80’s-themed Verdansk map, the game’s weapons, as well as a whole bunch of other stuff. Most recently, they released an update on May 27 that nerfed the AMAX, tweaked the recoil on the FARA, and changed the spawn rate of trucks in solos. Additionally, changes were made to some of the most popular optics, and if you haven’t checked them out, you’re in for a shock. The sights in question that were tweaked in the update were the Axial Arms 3x, Royal & Kross 4x, and SUSAT Multizoom. These changes have put them more in line with Modern Warfare optics where you can see quite a bit more in your peripheral vision. Additionally, the LW3 Tundra‘s normal optic was tweaked, toning down the ‘fisheye lens effect’ that had annoyed players for quite some time. Warzone YouTuber JGOD highlighted the changes following the update and said there is a “huge difference” to all of them now, with other players suggesting it’s now going to be difficult to get shots off at range with the Axial Arms and Multizoom. If that’s the case, some players might opt to run a sniper instead of an assault rifle for their range fights, but others will find a way to keep things as they are. Furthermore, if the changes are unpopular and affect the battle royale too much, they could be reverted somewhat by Raven in the future. We’ll just have to wait and see what happens.

JGOD shares best Warzone sniper loadouts to use ahead of Season 4 YouTube: JGOD / NICKMERCSRespected Call of Duty: Warzone statistician JGOD has revealed his new top sniper rifle picks in the battle royale, and explained why he believes they will dominate the meta heading into Season 4. After two early rounds of balancing in Warzone Season 3, Raven Software shook up the meta yet again with the mid-season Reloaded update, which brought with it another huge set of weapon updates including significant tweaks for sniper rifles. As Season 3 continues to wind down and the hype for Season 4 starts to build, popular Warzone content creator JGOD took an in-depth dive into the sniper rifle meta after the last round of changes and revealed his top picks for the weapon class heading into Season 4. JGOD’s top sniper picks heading into Warzone Season 4 In his video, JGOD took into account several different factors like ADS speed, bullet velocity, and rate of fire, then broke down each Warzone sniper into three distinct categories: aggressive, hybrid, and slower long-range. For players who love using snipers at close range, the aggressive options (Kar98k, Pellington, and Swiss K31) are the way to go. Those who prefer long-range sniper engagements should equip the ZRG, AX-50, or HDR. Finally, the SP-R208 and Tundra fill out the hybrid category. JGOD’s personal top dog amongst snipers remains the Kar98k, due to its uncanny ability to land shots both at distance and in close-range engagements. For a more balanced approach, the content creator recommended the SP-R208, as the best jack-of-all-trades sniper in the game. Finally, for a more traditional sniper loadout, JGOD pointed to either Cold War’s ZRG that stormed into Warzone during Season 2, or Modern Warfare’s HDR, which remains a tried-and-true sniper for those who prefer picking their enemies off from a distance. While the Kar98k is still the king of Warzone snipers, there are plenty of new options to try heading into Season 4. For a full statistical breakdown of JGOD’s analysis, check out the helpful spreadsheet he’s compiled for players to use when picking their sniper and its attachments.

JGOD says Warzone is “basically unplayable” as cheaters run rampant in Season 4 JGOD/ActivisionWarzone YouTuber JGOD says the battle royale is “basically unplayable” at this point as cheaters continue to dominate in Verdansk and ruin things for everyone else. Cheaters and hackers have been around in Warzone ever since the game first launched over a year ago. However, it’s gotten worse over time. Warzone is now deep into its fourth season in Black Ops Cold War and players are walking away from the battle royale in their droves, finding other games to play in its place, with many citing cheaters as the biggest reason for their departure. Some content creators have dropped suggestions for what Activision and Raven Software could do to get the game back on the right track, but they haven’t happened just yet. Well, JGOD has hopped aboard that train and believes the battle royale is “basically unplayable” at this stage in Season 4, given that cheaters are able to openly stream their hacks and get away with it. “This is an epidemic that keeps continuing on and I wanted to make this video, one because I get messaged daily like why don’t you talk about the cheater problem even though I talk about the cheater problem in almost every video,” the YouTuber said, reviewing footage of a streamer who was cheating. JGOD added that he is no longer playing games on Verdansk because of cheaters, and has swapped focus to Rebirth Island as there seems to be fewer suspect players over there. “I don’t want to waste 20 minutes, get to end game, and then die to cheaters,” he said, adding that you can beat cheaters but it’s frustrating. Topic starts at 5:00 The YouTuber further notes that while player count might be higher than ever in Warzone, that’s likely due to the fact that cheaters are setting up new accounts daily. Like many others, he wants decisive action to be made but that responsibility falls with Activision and Raven. So, we’ll have to wait and see what happens going forward.
