\u201cLaser beam\u201d AR dominates Warzone after recent buff ActivisionBefore weapon tuning is gone for good, Metaphor used Warzone\u2019s controversial feature to craft the perfect AR for medium and short-range engagements. Content creators making loadouts will look very different in Modern Warfare 3. Sledgehammer Games received a round of applause from community members, announcing the removal of weapon tuning in MW3. The controversial feature allowed players to fine-tune weapons to cater to different playstyles. For example, an AR could be adjusted to improve mobility and aim down-sight speed for close-range engagements. Or, the feature allowed players to lean the other way and maximize recoil stabilization and damage range. As a result, content creators made it their mission to find the perfect tuning for every Warzone loadout. However, we still have a while before MW3\u2019s Warzone iteration, so Metaphor used all of the tools at his disposal. Metaphor crowns Kastov 545 as king of mid-range gunfights In the October 11 update, The Kastov 545 saw its mid-range damage increase. Without specific numbers, it\u2019s impossible to tell how much of a difference the change made, but Metaphor believes the slight upgrade elevated the AR into Warzone\u2019s meta. Metaphor argued: \u201cThis gun has been kind of a sleeper for a while now and has absolutely zero recoil and is a complete laser beam at range.\u201d The Kastov 545 doesn\u2019t come without its faults, as Metaphor admitted: \u201cThe damage does kind of fall off at super long range, but if they are mid or close range, there are not many guns that are going to beat this thing.\u201d Best Kastov 545 loadout Here is Metaphor\u2019s go-to Kastov 545 loadout. Barrel: IG-K30 406MM (+0.18, +0.30) – Optic: AIM OP-V4 (-2.81, -1.65) – Underbarrel: FTAC Ripper (+0.75, +0.04) – Ammunition: 5.45 High Velocity (+0.70, -9.00) – Magazine: 45 Round Mag – Metaphor leaned into the Kastov 545\u2019s strength by focusing all the tuning on improving recoil and damage range. The YouTuber admitted that most ARs need a muzzle, but the recoil tuning made it possible to use High-Velocity ammunition instead. If the Kastov 545 didn\u2019t quite check every box, check out our guide on the best Warzone AR loadouts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
