First, it was the Origin-12 that supplanted the MP5 as everyone\u2019s favorite secondary weapon in Warzone. After that got nerfed, people pivoted to the R9-0, also known as the \u201cDoof Doof,\u201d which, bolstered by Dragon\u2019s Breath rounds, knocks fully armored enemies in just two shots. Now, in anticipation of a nerf that many are hoping will come to the R9, Nick \u2018NICKMERCS\u2019 Kolcheff is taking TimTheTatMan\u2019s suggestion and trying out the VLK Rogue. While many have become somewhat enamored with the semi-automatic shotgun in the early game, given its potency as ground loot, few have truly experimented with it in their loadouts. Basing his class on Tim\u2019s, Nick ran a Dragon\u2019s Breath-powered VLK in a game with Swagg and the results were surprising. Although it may not overtake the R9 until nerfs come through, the potential is undeniable. Noting that Tim and chat had been telling him to try the VLK, Nick built out a class for it and proceeded to drop a casual 30-bomb. Using the Kilo 141 at range, he managed to pull off some nasty close-quarters kills with the Rogue, suggesting it may actually be viable. Here\u2019s the full class that Nick used to bully enemies with the VLK: Muzzle: FORGE TAC Marauder &#8211; Barrel: 16\u201d Warlord &#8211; Laser: 5mW Laser &#8211; Ammunition: 8-R Dragon\u2019s Breath &#8211; Rear Grip: Stippled Grip Tape &#8211; After taking some time to get his loadout, Nick got his first kill with the Rogue at about the 6:20 mark in the video. In that fight, he encountered a bathroom camper and easily one-shot him as the enemy tried to turn the corner. Pulling off similar kills throughout the big game, the popular streamer proceeded to confirm suspicions that this shotgun really could play into the next meta once the R9 gets nerfed. \u201cIf the R9 nerf actually does come in, do we think that the VLK is gonna take its place? Personally, I do. I think this is next up. If the R9 gets nerfed, I think people go to the VLK (or maybe we go back to the MP5).\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NICKMERCS\u2019 overpowered VLK Rogue Warzone loadout kills in \u201cone shot\u201d Youtube, @NICKMERCS \/ Infinity WardShotguns have dominated the Call of Duty: Warzone meta for a while now and FaZe Clan\u2019s NICKMERCS thinks that a souped up, \u201cone-shot\u201d VLK Rogue class might be the next one up.
