The July 24 patch in Warzone 2 has shaken up the meta by nerfing dominant weapons, allowing the OG AR Kastov 762 to rise back to the top. With its deadly time-to-kill (TTK) and versatility, the Kastov 762 has become the second most used AR in the game, offering consistent performance at long range and high firepower. Players are recommended to try out a specific loadout to maximize its potential.
Warzone player and streamer Metaphor recommends the Kastov 762 as the best AR loadout for Season 4 after the TTK changes. With the increase in operator base health, weapons with fast TTK speeds are more effective. The Kastov 762 has an impressive TTK speed of 679 milliseconds and boasts immense firepower, making it a compelling long-range option. Metaphor's recommended loadout includes the ZLR Talon 5 muzzle, KAS-10 584mm Barrel, SZ Recharge-DX optic, KSTV-RPK Factory stock, and Demo-X2 Grip rear grip.
The ISO Hemlock, previously the most popular Assault Rifle in Warzone 2, has been replaced by the Kastov 762 after getting nerfed in Season 3. The ISO Hemlock's pick rate dropped from 19% to 4.1%, while the Kastov 762 now has a pick rate of 26.3%. The ISO Hemlock's superb damage output and easy-to-control recoil made it a popular pick, but the Kastov 762 boasts impressive versatility, range, and recoil control. It remains to be seen if the ISO Hemlock will make a comeback after potential buffs in the mid-season update.
