Warzone\u2019s life-cycle is quickly winding down, with fans, creators and developers turning their attention to Warzone 2.0, the highly-anticipated sequel battle royale. However, players of the first WZ are still eager to know which guns they should be dropping into Caldera with. While the most \u2018meta\u2019 weapons are generally those most-picked by Warzone\u2019s player base, certains guns can be just as viable and powerful but not command comparably high pick-rates. That is certainly the case with the Black Ops Cold War AK-47, the series favorite AR that, according to Warzone expert and YouTuber Metaphor, is \u201cperfect\u201d for Season 5 Solos. Metaphor reveals Cold War AK-47 class that shreds in Season 5 The classic CoD weapon has flirted with the meta in recent seasons but, in Season 5, finds itself some way short of the most used guns. Currently, according to stats site WZRanked, it sits at a pick rate of 0.7%. Players shouldn\u2019t discard it based on that, though, with Metaphor insisting that it\u2019s \u201cperfectly usable [and] totally meta.\u201d Its only real weakness (and one that won\u2019t surprise any seasoned CoD players) is its kick, which is slightly more volatile and difficult to control than other laser-like ARs. As a result it might take players some time to adjust and it won\u2019t be suitable for the longest of ranges. Other than that, it shreds enemies with high damage, strong range and solid handling. Metaphor\u2019s recommended loadout is below: Muzzle: GRU Suppressor &#8211; Barrel: 20\u201d Spetsnaz RPK Barrel &#8211; Optic: Axial Arms 3x &#8211; Underbarrel: Spetsnaz Grip &#8211; Magazine: 45 Round &#8211; Because the AK thrives at medium ranges, players can choose whether their secondary is a SMG or sniper. Naturally, this will depend on playstyle and player preference. The AK-47 in your primary slot will keep you competitive regardless.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Warzone expert outlines underrated Cold War \u201cperfect\u201d for Season 5 Solos Treyarch\/ActivisionWarzone expert and YouTuber Metaphor has pinpointed the Black Ops Cold War AK-47 as the \u201cperfect\u201d assault rifle for Season 5 Solos, despite its pick-rate sitting at well below some of the most meta options.
