When Warzone first launched, the battle royale\u2019s meta was constantly in flux. Snipers were the go-to weapons, then it was LMGs, and a whole host of assault rifles also got their moment in the sun. In recent seasons, the meta has become a little bit more stale \u2013 much to the annoyance of some players \u2013 but there are plenty of players who are willing to experiment with something new. As a result, we\u2019ve seen that the LMGs \u2013 particularly the FiNN and MG 82 \u2013 have ridiculous TTKs (Time to Kill) that match those of the meta weapons. Now, a spotlight has been shone on the TEC-9. The TEC-9, iconic in other FPS titles, was introduced to Warzone with the start of Season 5. Players were quickly concerned about it, given how powerful similar akimbo weapons have been, but it\u2019s slid down the usage charts. According to WZRanked, it\u2019s currently the 37th most-used weapon in the battle royale, but as TrueGameData shows, that probably should be the case. The YouTuber has shown that the vastly underrated SMG has a better TTK than some of the most-used weapons in the game \u2013 blowing away some of it\u2019s SMG rivals. One slight knock on the TEC-9 is that it does fall slightly behind both the MAC-10 and Bullfrog in some aspects of speed but it holds its own against other meta picks.

The TEC-9 simply melts the competition and is well worth using at least once, just to see if it could become a full-time thing. We\u2019ll have to wait and see if it starts shooting up the popularity charts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Underused Warzone SMG might be better than most meta weapons ActivisionWarzone might have a pretty set meta at the moment, but there are plenty of under-the-radar weapons that are worth giving a bit of love to, and that includes the recently introduced TEC-9.
