Over the last few months, the meta in Warzone 2 has undergone a fair few changes. The devs have been rolling out a number of buffs and nerfs alongside seasonal updates, while also bringing one-shot snipers back into the fold. The ISO Hemlock, which was introduced back in Season 2, had been dominating the game throughout that same season. Though, a nerf during the start of Season 3 saw the assault rifle being knocked off its perch by the Kastov 762. That didn\u2019t last too long, with the Hemlock jumping back up to top spot shortly after the Season 3 Reloaded update. Though, the AR is back on its way down once again as it\u2019s fallen off the top spot. ISO Hemlock replaced by Cronen Squall as Warzone 2\u2019s most-used gun That\u2019s according to stats from WZRanked, which tracks the popularity of weapons and items in Warzone 2, which noticed the Hemlock\u2019s downfall. The AR had previously been pretty comfortable on top spot, but as of May 31, its fallen down to second place behind the Cronen Squall. The Squall has a pick rate of 18%, beating the Hemlock\u2019s 15.2%. It\u2019s interesting to note that the Hemlock\u2019s slide doesn\u2019t appear to be over either. The third-placed Lachmann Sub has a pick rate of 13.6% and is picking up more steam than the Hemlock. So, it shouldn\u2019t be too long before it drops even further. The Cronen\u2019s rise is likely to do with the attention it has been getting in Warzone Ranked, as it has become the go-to weapon for top-level players. It remains to be seen if the Cronen can hold off the surge from the Lachmann Sub and, potentially, the MCPR sniper, with that also being on the rise recently.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ISO Hemlock falls off as Warzone 2\u2019s most used gun again as Ranked meta changes ActivisionThe ISO Hemlock, the assault rifle that had been running things in Warzone 2 for a while again, has been dethroned as the battle royale\u2019s go-to weapon yet again.
