Drift0r says there\u2019s a weapon better than AUG &#038; M16 Drift0r \/ ActivisionPopular Call of Duty YouTuber Drift0r explained how one of the \u201cworst weapons in all of Warzone\u201d has made a comeback to rival the AUG and, in some cases, the M16. The AUG has been one of the most consistently praised weapons in Warzone for a while now, but after the nerfs in the April 6 patch, people are starting to look elsewhere for a reliable rifle. Although the AUG, and M16 for that matter, pack a punch and fit in nicely to any Warzone loadout, another alternative has caught Drift0r\u2019s eye and he thinks it can be even more handy in application. \u201cThe FR 5.56 used to be considered one of the worst weapons in Warzone,\u201d he said. \u201cBut right now it\u2019s kind of like a better AUG. Or, at least, very similar to the AUG and M16.\u201d With the right attachments, Drift0r sees how the FR 5.56 \u201cfits really well into the meta\u201d and can be a really good choice for people that haven\u2019t been liking the battle royale\u2019s heavy lifters. Due to the AUG\u2019s recoil nerf, it\u2019s given the FR some wiggle room to compete in your loadout. While the FR 5.56\u2019s burst delay is the gun\u2019s \u201cmajor drawback,\u201d it\u2019s crazy to think it\u2019s the only thing keeping it from being OP, according to Drift0r. If you\u2019re hitting your headshots, the time-to-kill (TTK) between all three, AUG, M16 and FR, is really close. With a fully kitted FR 5.56, Drift0r believes Warzone players will have a gun with an even tighter recoil that rivals the M16 and beats the current AUG. Drift0r\u2019s FR 5.56 loadout for Warzone The stat that really compelled Drift0r to recommend his FR 5.56 build is the insane bullet velocity you get (720 m\/s), compared to the other two (616 m\/s). This really helps to land meaningful long-range shots across Verdansk. Barrel: 24.4\u201d Sniper Barrel &#8211; Muzzle: Mono Supp &#8211; Underbarrel: Operator Grip &#8211; Laser: Canted Hybrid &#8211; Final Attachment: Player\u2019s choice &#8211; Even though it\u2019s a heavy rifle to handle, Drift0r was really impressed with the loadout he configured, but suggested players have a backup Bullfrog or other as their secondary to make up for its downfalls. A slow handling burst weapon is going to suffer in close-quarter combat, which the YouTuber found to be true with the FR build. Still, as Raven Software continue to tweak Warzone\u2019s meta, Drift0r can see this FR build replacing the current AUG and bcominge a viable replacement for the M16 at long range.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New Warzone meta gun?
