According to streamers, the Automaton loadout just might be the best-feeling AR in Warzone history. If you\u2019ve been watching any of the Warzone tournament scene in recent weeks, you\u2019ve likely noticed an uptick in Automaton usage. The gun was Warzone Pacific\u2019s first meta primary weapon, but December 2021 nerfs left it in an \u201cunusable\u201d state. While those adjustments closed the door on the Auto, they opened up for the Bren \u2013 which quickly became Caldera\u2019s defining, untouchable meta weapon. Despite attempted nerfs, bugged damage buffs kept the Bren in most players\u2019 hands. As many kept using the LMG, though, some top players pivoted back to the Automaton (after it received a buff of its own). Now, with the Bren nerfed once again, streamers are recommending the Auto with some serious praise. Warzone streamers call Automaton loadout most \u201crewarding\u201d gun ever the automaton feels better than any previous long range option from MW or CW, it&#8217;s so rewarding to kill someone with the auto \u2014 bread (@bbreadmanW) March 1, 2022 A March 1 tweet from streamer bbreadman held the Auto in high esteem. The frequent tournament competitor said the AR \u201cfeels better than any previous long-range option from [Modern Warfare or Cold War], it\u2019s so rewarding to kill someone with.\u201d That\u2019s a\u2026 lot of guns to compare it against, but bread was far from alone. While CDL caster Maven called it \u201cthe first Vanguard AR I\u2019ve enjoyed,\u201d streamer JoeWo went even further: \u201cOne of my favorite metas of all time.\u201d Warzone pros embracing Automaton loadout Although most casual players, and even most pros, have been using the Bren \u2013 the Auto already had fans before the Bren\u2019s latest buffs. Warzone\u2019s highest all-time earner, Tommey, won a $100,000 tournament with the AR in late-February. If the gun was good enough for triple-digit earnings even while the Bren\u2019s damage was buffed by a bug, it\u2019s definitely good enough to try now. Early reactions suggest the LMG is still viable after its March 2 nerfs, but those tweaks may have been enough for the Auto to overtake it in the meta. Even if you don\u2019t agree with Bread that the Auto feels better than beloved guns like the M4A1, Grau, AMAX, and XM4 \u2013 it\u2019s still worth testing out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Warzone streamers claim Automaton loadout is best ranged AR of all time ActivisionWith the Bren nerfed in Call of Duty: Warzone, players have a new favorite long-ranged weapon.
