Deadly XM4 loadout still dominates Warzone meta despite nerfs ActivisionWarzone guru IceManIsaac has explained why the XM4 from Black Ops Cold War should still be considered meta despite its recent nerfs in the battle royale. For the longest time, Warzone players have pleaded with Raven Software for weapon balancing changes \u2013 and they\u2019ve gotten their wish as a part of the Warzone Pacific Season 3 update. The new update has brought about some of the biggest meta shifts that the battle royale has seen to this point, with some fan-favorite weapons like the Kar98 falling by the wayside and being replaced by previously underrated choices. Black Ops Cold War\u2019s XM4 was also hit as a part of the recent nerfs, with its maximum damage being decreased ever so slightly. While some players have ditched it, and have started focusing on the STG as a replacement, IceManIsaac believes they should go back to the old faithful. The NRG content creator highlighted the assault rifles in his May 22 video, noting that the XM4\u2019s recent nerf wasn\u2019t as bad as some may think \u2013 especially as its headshot multiplier was actually increased. While the maximum damage has dropped off, the Warzone YouTuber showed that the XM4 fares pretty well when compared to the STG, and actually beats it in TTK with certain shots and at different ranges. \u201cThe XM4, even with those nerfs is still meta. When you start to reach out you\u2019ll see some fluctuation here or there, but on the whole, the XM4 is still a very easy gun to control,\u201d he said. \u201cDo not waste your time leveling up these STGs if you\u2019re not super committed to it.\u201d The YouTuber isn\u2019t running some wacky build for the XM4, either. You can still run the Cold War favorite with the classic Agency Suppressor and Task Force barrel loadout. Obviously, the assault rifle could be hit with further nerfs down the line, but for now, don\u2019t abandon it completely.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
