The Warzone meta is always changing, especially throughout the current Season 4 where a number of weapon buffs and nerfs have meant that the meta is many and varied, with several viable weapons to use rather than just one dominant assault rifle ripping heads off across the map. Despite this, the H4 Blixen has remained the number one SMG for some time, offering the perfect weapon for close-range encounters, the unanimous pick for anyone traversing Caldera, Fortune\u2019s Keep, or Rebirth Island. While the gap started to diminish over time, the Blixen remains popular \u2014 but no longer tops the meta rankings, according to WZRanked. After the Blixen was nerfed on August 8, with a damage reduction and a bug fix that made it slightly less potent, it quickly dropped below another Vanguard SMG, with the Armaguerra 43 becoming the most popular SMG pick in Warzone. At the time of writing on August 9, the Armaguerra\u2019s pick rate has risen to 7.14 \u2014 a slight boost over the Blixen\u2019s 7.10. That said, it\u2019s still not matching the Blixen in terms of KD and win rate. The Armaguerra\u2019s average KD, according to WZRanked, 1.29, a step below the Blixen\u2019s 1.40. Similarly, its win rate is at 4.33, lower than the Blixen\u2019s 4.45 but still on the way up. With the Vanguard guns dominating the Warzone meta, it\u2019s increasingly difficult for any guns from either Modern Warfare or Black Ops Cold War to compete \u2014 especially when guns such as the Armaguerra and KG M40 are as dominant as they are.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>H4 Blixen finally overtaken in Warzone SMG meta rankings after nerf ActivisionThe H4 Blixen has long been the dominant SMG in the Warzone meta, but it\u2019s finally been usurped atop the CoD battle royale\u2019s meta rankings.
