Warzone exec wants Grau to return as meta \u201cking\u201d before Warzone 2 Activision \/ PixabayCall of Duty: Warzone\u2019s Grau has some fans in high places as CoD\u2019s Creative Director is calling for the classic gun to become \u201cking\u201d of the meta once again. In a tweet, he revealed that he wants the weapon to reign supreme one last time before Warzone 2. Anyone who played Warzone in its early seasons will remember the infamous Grau 5.56. With arguably the cleanest iron sights in the game\u2019s history, as well as pinpoint accuracy, the Modern Warfare gun dominated Verdansk for months. Ultimately, the Grau was nerfed and fell behind other ARs in usage rate. As time passed, options like the Kilo 141, CR-56 AMAX, and, eventually, Black Ops Cold War and Vanguard weapons took over. With Warzone 2 reportedly releasing in the holiday season of 2022, some fans have become nostalgic for the title\u2019s early days. One such player is CoD Creative Director Ted Timmins, who is vowing to return the beloved Grau to its rightful throne. Warzone exec promises return of Grau meta GRAU. One day I\u2019ll convince the team to make it the king again for one last ride. The OG laser. \u2014 Ted Timmins (@JustTeddii) March 7, 2022 Responding to a tweet that tugged at player nostalgia and asked about players\u2019 favorite all-time metas, Timmins did not mince words. In capslock, he answered \u201cGRAU,\u201d before revealing his intentions. Calling it \u201cthe OG laser,\u201d Timmins explained his plan for a return to supremacy: \u201cOne day I\u2019ll convince the team to make it the king again for one last ride.\u201d This vow instantly gave way to dozens of replies supporting the idea. One of the title\u2019s biggest streamers, FaZe Swagg, was as enthusiastic about the idea as can be \u2013 hitting Timmins with an impassioned \u201cPLEASE.\u201d While Warzone players certainly enjoy newer weapons and content, nostalgia is ever-present. This is evident in fan despair over \u201cuseless,\u201d formerly meta C4s and excitement over Verdansk\u2019s return \u2013 albeit on mobile devices. Before the Pacific map launched, we dove into why the MW FN SCAR deserved a buff \u2013 so that the classic weapon could get its chance to be meta. While that never came to be, the Grau seems to have supporters with more pull. Fans will surely be eager to see if Timmins is able to convince his team and buff the \u201cOG laser\u201d back into relevance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
