The M1 Garand is an iconic weapon in the Call of Duty franchise, having been present dating all the way back to Call of Duty 2 in 2005. It\u2019s been in multiple titles since then, all the way through to the current day when it was included as a gun in Call of Duty: Vanguard. While it hasn\u2019t been particularly popular this year, including when it was integrated into Warzone in late 2021, the M1 Garand is actually silently putting in some serious work in the Call of Duty battle royale. According to WZRanked, the Vanguard rifle only has a 0.13 pick rate at the time of writing, one of the lowest pick rates in the game. Despite this, it actually puts up huge numbers. It boasts an average 1.27 KD, the fifth highest in the game, as well as a 4.65 win rate, the fourth highest in the game. If you\u2019re looking to switch things up and go off-meta in the final days of Warzone before the launch of Warzone 2, it\u2019s well worth trying out the M1 Garand. It\u2019s semi-automatic, so you\u2019ll need to make sure you hit your shots, but if you do it\u2019s clearly a weapon that can slay through lobbies \u2014 and you\u2019ll definitely confuse your opponents with the non-meta pick.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Underused Vanguard AR is actually one of Warzone\u2019s most dominant weapons ActivisionWhile the Warzone long-range meta is dominated by the likes of the KG M40, UGM-8, and Grau since the launch of Season 5, there\u2019s one Vanguard assault rifle that has quietly been seeing heaps of success: the M1 Garand.
