Ever since the Season 2 update, the Call of Duty developers have been busy implementing smaller weapon changes to keep the meta feeling fresh. From the TAQ Evolvere\u2019s rework to the MCW\u2019s sizable buffs, Warzone\u2019s meta has been shifting fast. Another surprise update was released on February 21, 2024, which primarily focused on Richochet, Warzone\u2019s anti-cheat. However, there were also weapon tweaks that have had a far bigger impact than first anticipated. The MTZ-556 was one of the weapons affected, receiving a huge buff that saw several key stats improved. This buff not only reduced the rifle\u2019s recoil but also increased its damage and damage range making it much more lethal. Overlooked Warzone assault rifle is meta after surprise buff In his most recent video covering the buff, Warzone analyst TrueGameData praised the MTZ-556 describing it as \u201ceasier to use,\u201d than the RAM-7, Bruen Mk9, and Holger 26 while also highlighting how it offers a superior TTK up to 48 meters, which can be further improved by using attachments. Here is the MTZ-556 loadout recommended by TrueGameData that makes the most out of the AR\u2019s strengths: Muzzle: VT-7 Spiritfire Suppressor &#8211; Barrel: MTZ Drifter Heavy Long Barrel &#8211; Optic: Corio Eagleseye 2.5x &#8211; Stock: MTZ Marauder Stock &#8211; Magazine: 50 Round Drum &#8211; Impressed by the MTZ-556\u2019s post-buff performance, TrueGameData expressed, \u201cThe MTZ is probably going to be the meta for long range or just an easier to use weapon,\u201d and described it as the, \u201cBest low recoil AR right now.\u201d One of the most impressive segments featured a recoil comparison between the MTZ-556 and the meta SVA 545. The SVA 545 is an AR that many consider to be extremely accurate, but the MTZ-556 produces half the overall recoil making it much easier to control than even the SVA 545. According to WZRanked, the wider Warzone community has yet to adopt the MTZ-556 with it being the 19th most used weapon with just a 0.48% usage rate as of February 22, 2024. However, that is expected to change as more players catch on to how strong this newly buffed AR is.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cEasy to use\u201d Warzone AR is new meta after surprise buff One of the community\u2019s leading analysts has praised an assault rifle that received a surprise buff as now being one of the best ARs in Warzone thanks to its incredible ease of use.
