Well, there\u2019s a gun from Call of Duty: Vanguard that has fallen out of the Warzone meta but can still rip through enemies. With the start of Warzone Pacific Season 4, Raven Software introduced a brand-new map in the form of Fortune\u2019s Keep. The idyllic island, which has become home to a band of mercenaries, is quite different from Verdansk, Caldera, and even Rebirth Island. In the short time since it\u2019s been live, the narrow streets of Fortune\u2019s Keep have become a playground for SMGs \u2013 especially the brand-new Marco-5 and old favorites like the MP-40. However, like with the other maps, you can get plenty of joy from assault rifles too. That includes Vanguard\u2019s AS44, which has gone under the radar as of late, but could see a little bit of a revival. The AS44 has been highlighted by a number of Warzone content creators, including WhosImmortal, because of its decent TTK and insanely quick fire rate. While the assault rifle can be built to maximize it\u2019s TTK \u2013 putting it in the region of about 700ms and also working like an SMG \u2013 it also comes with a pretty nasty bit of recoil. So, some loadouts do take that into consideration. WhosImmortal\u2019s build balances the TTK buff and recoil control, with the YouTuber opting for the M1941 Hand Stop underbarrel, Polymer Grip, and Kovalevskaya Custom barrel to bring the recoil a little more under control.

As per WZRanked stats, the AS44 has a 0.58 pick rate, so it hasn\u2019t been completely abandoned like some other guns. However, it is absolutely under the radar. It remains to be seen as to whether or not it\u2019ll crack the meta, but with its impressive TTK and ability to fight at all ranges, the AS44 is definitely something worth using in Season 4.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Underrated Vanguard AR is a beast on Warzone\u2019s Fortune\u2019s Keep map ActivisionIn need of a new assault rifle to get the job done on Fortune\u2019s Keep?
