The MAC-10 will be familiar to any longer-term players of Warzone, with the Black Ops Cold War gun being among the game\u2019s very best SMGs for some time during the Treyarch title\u2019s life-cycle. However, like many other weapons, it has fallen away in terms of popularity, with the majority of most-used guns now being from this year\u2019s Call of Duty: Vanguard. Currently, it sits at a respectable if unspectacular pick-rate of just over 1.8% but, according to Warzone YouTuber and expert WhosImmortal, it could well be a dominant weapon again. Warzone Season 4 buffs make MAC-10 the ideal \u201csniper support\u201d weapon Outlining his views in a recent YouTube video, he stated that recent buffs and nerfs mean it is as viable as it has been in a long-time, potentially even capable of challenging the long-established superiority of Vanguard weapons like the MP40 and H4 Blixen. \u201cWhile we saw a lot of changes primarily to Vanguard guns,\u201d he explained, \u201cone weapon change went under the radar if you will. The MAC-10 actually got a slight range buff. Which was kind of out of the blue considering the MAC-10 really is not a formidable meta weapon.\u201d However, going through the data, the MAC-10\u2019s medium-range strength makes it the most suitable sniper support in the game. While you\u2019ll still get outgunned by Vanguard weapons within 10-meter gunfights, beyond that the MAC-10 will more than hold its own. WhosImmortal even outlined his go-to set up to make the most of the Season 4 buff, detailed below: Muzzle: Recoil Booster &#8211; Barrel: 320mm SA Shrouded &#8211; Optic: Slate Reflector &#8211; Stock: Removed Stock &#8211; Perk: Acrobatic &#8211; Perk 2: Quick &#8211; Rear Grip: Taped Grip &#8211; Magazine: 7.62 Gorenko 40 Round Mags &#8211; Ammunition: Lengthened &#8211; Underbarrel: M1915 Steady &#8211; The only thing left for players to decide is which sniper they want to take in the secondary slot. Currently, that likely comes down to the Gorenko Anti-Tank Rifle or the Modern Warfare HDR, which packs more of a punch but doesn\u2019t have the same speed. With the MAC-10 in the primary slot, though, you\u2019ll have the perfect weapon to finish anyone off who proves too much for your sniper.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Buffed Cold War gun dominates Warzone Season 4 despite Vanguard weapon meta ActivisionWarzone expert WhosImmortal has outlined a buffed Cold War SMG that is back to its best in Season 4, claiming the MAC-10\u2019s recent strengthening makes it viable despite the Vanguard weapon meta.
