A forgotten Battle Rifle, the Lachmann-762, is being hailed as the best assault rifle in Warzone 2 Season 5 Reloaded by Call of Duty YouTuber Metaphor. With a strong time-to-kill and stability, the Lachmann-762 offers a competitive alternative to the popular meta options. Despite its low pick rate, the weapon has the potential to elevate gameplay and catch opponents off-guard.
A new one-shot melee bug in Warzone 2 is causing players to be instantly killed with a single melee attack when they have an SMG and Throwing Knife equipped. Players are expressing frustration and concern about the bug, with some fearing that it will ruin the game if it becomes widespread. However, given the game's history of bugs and glitches, there is uncertainty about when or if the developers will address this issue.
The Cronen Squall may be dominating the long-range meta in Warzone 2, but following the August 16 patch, the SO-14 Battle Rifle has received significant buffs and is now considered a top-tier "meta loadout" by WhosImmortal. With its versatile full-auto and semi-auto modes, competitive time-to-kill, and strong stability, the SO-14 has the potential to be immensely powerful in the hands of a sharpshooter. Despite its potential, the SO-14 currently maintains a criminally low pick rate of 0.4% in Warzone 2, but it's only a matter of time before players realize its deadly capabilities.
Despite player requests, developers of Warzone 2 decided not to nerf the popular Sniper Rifle meta in Season 5.

These updates aim to address player complaints about the game feeling slow and should make movement during gameplay faster and smoother.
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.

The RAAL MG, an underused LMG in Warzone 2, has a powerful time-to-kill (TTK) and is being overlooked by the community. With the right attachments, it can dominate matches and is favored by professional players. Despite its potential, the RAAL MG has a low pick rate of just 0.3%. It excels at holding down power positions and can be paired with an SMG for a strong loadout.
Popular Call of Duty content creator WhosImmortal has identified the TAQ-V Battle Rifle as a powerful and underrated weapon in Warzone 2 Season 4. With improved performance due to a health update, the TAQ-V dominates in medium to long ranges compared to other top-tier options. WhosImmortal believes the TAQ-V has the potential to become extremely dominant in the meta once other weapons are nerfed. However, mastering the weapon's recoil is crucial. WhosImmortal recommends a loadout with attachments that improve bullet velocity, recoil stabilization, and aiming stability.
