Back in Warzone 2, the Chimera was a top-tier sniper support weapon when it was added, a title that it would keep until MW3\u2019s integration. Much like many other MW2 weapons, it fell out of favor with competitors like the WSP-9 and MCW JAK Raven taking its place. However, Season 4\u2019s buffs and nerfs saw the Chimera receive a few key changes, with its damage being improved, and the MW2 AR\u2019s arm modifier being increased from 0.95x to 1.16x. These buffs have improved both the TTK and overall consistency of the Chimera, seeing it climb back into the meta as one of Warzone\u2019s best sniper support weapons. Impressed by the newly buffed assault rifle, Warzone expert WhosImmortal gave it high praise: \u201cThe Chimera got some buffs in Season 4, and in all reality, this thing is better than ever right now,\u201d before later describing the MW2 AR as feeling \u201creally, really good,\u201d cementing its place in Season 4\u2019s meta. WhosImmmortal\u2019s recommended loadout for the Chimera used these attachments: Muzzle: Casus Brake L &#8211; Barrel: 6.5\u2033 EXF Vorpal &#8211; Underbarrel: XRK Edge BW-4 Handstop &#8211; Ammunition: Blackout High Grain Rounds &#8211; Magazine: 45 Round Mag &#8211; With the Chimera being a Modern Warfare 2 weapon, the attachment options available on it are much more limited than Warzone\u2019s newer weapons. Many of its barrels, stocks, and rear grips provide hefty penalties to ADS Speed and Mobility, making them difficult to justify. Even so, there is still some room for adjustment with this loadout. Most notably, some players may prefer switching out the Blackout High Grain Rounds for an optic, while those who value stealth should switch the Casus Brake L muzzle for the Scratch 20-L Suppressor.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Forgotten MW2 AR is \u201cbetter than ever\u201d and meta in Warzone again ActivisionA Modern Warfare 2 assault rifle that has gone largely overlooked in Warzone is now meta again, with the forgotten weapon receiving several buffs in Season 4.
