Slept-on Warzone 2 AR actually dominates as an SMG in Season 3 ActivisionIf you\u2019re looking for something a little different in Warzone 2, there\u2019s an underused assault rifle that actually beats out some of the meta SMGs in the game and can be used in a similar manner. Across both Warzone and Warzone 2, there have been a few examples of weapons operating slightly differently from the weapon class they\u2019re actually classified under. This has been evident when some assault rifles lack the power to compete over long-range and are better suited to being an SMG and, on the flip side, we\u2019ve seen SMGs dominate across long-range because the TTK at close-quarters isn\u2019t all that solid. In Warzone 2, this has popped up again with the X13 Auto pistol actually beating out some SMGs in gunfights. Though, it\u2019s not alone in that sense. Best Kastov-74U loadout in Warzone 2 for sniper support Warzone 2 guru WhosImmortal highlighted the Kastov-74U \u2013 the AK-74U \u2013 in his April 26 video, noting that the AR is actually better used like an SMG because of its short-range power. \u201cIts great for close to mid-range, this really isn\u2019t a long-range weapon whatsoever, so it is perfect for that sniper support niche,\u201d the YouTuber said, noting it \u201cfries\u201d up close and beats out some SMGs. His setup does differ from the more popular 74U build with the BR209 Barrel, FSS OLE-V Laser, and Markeev R7 Stock all being used instead of more popular attachments. Barrel: BR209 Barrel – Laser: FSS OLE-V Laser – Magazine: 45-round mag – Stock: Markeev R7 Stock – Rear Grip: Demo-X2 Grip – What is also interesting about the 74U is the fact that its power doesn\u2019t match its popularity. The AR clocks in as the 28th most-used weapon according to WZRanked\u2019s stats. That could see a boost, but it\u2019s unlikely to crack the meta anytime soon given some other SMGs out there. But, it\u2019s at least worth trying.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
