In the Season 5 update, the Cronen Squall saw its maximum damage and damage multipliers decrease across the board. Those changes weren\u2019t enough, as the battle rifle still dominated Warzone\u2019s long-range meta. So the devs went back in for more as part of the mid-season update and nerfed the Cronen Squall\u2019s head, neck, torso, and limb damage multipliers. This finally opened the door for a new weapon to steal the show. Season 5 Reloaded also buffed the M13B\u2019s damage multipliers to all locations. IceManIsaac explained why this change makes the fast-firing AR a must-use weapon after the most recent update. IceManIsaac crowns new long-range meta king Using stats provided by Sym.gg, IceManIsaac compared Warzone time-to-kill speeds between the Cronen Squall, M13B, Kastov 762, Rapp-H, and Sakin MG38. The YouTuber discovered that the M13B has a faster TTK than the consensus picks for best long-range meta weapons in Season 5 Reloaded. \u201cThe M13B is killing faster than the Cronen and the Sakin. That\u2019s insane, and even at long ranges, it\u2019s killing faster than the Kastov and faster than the Cronen. We haven\u2019t ever seen an M13 meta putting up numbers like that.\u201d IceManIsaac called the M13B a sleeper pick for Season 5 reloaded, but the cat is already out of the bag. According to WZ Ranked, the M13B is currently the second most popular weapon in the game, with a 13.9% pick rate. \u201cI think the M13B is going to be a sleeper that many people should start pulling out to use.\u201d Best M13B Warzone loadout IceManIsaac revealed his go-to M13B loadout in Season 5 Reloaded.
