One of Modern Warfare 3’s most slept-on Light Machine Guns is creeping into the meta in Season 5 as it has a “phenomenal” TTK after being buffed.
The Season 5 update for Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone has opened up some interesting options for the meta. The dominant Superi 46 has been taken down a few notches, while the brand-newSTG44andStatic-HVhave already jumped into the meta conversation.
They’re not the only ones, however, as the new update brought some of the previously most slept-on Modern Warfare 3 guns into the spotlight.
That includes the TAQ Eradicator which, at times, has gotten some love from players and Warzone experts alike. However, after its damagebuff in Season 5, the LMG is going to creep into the thinking once again.
Both IceManIsaac and WhosImmortal have already highlighted the Eradicator as one of the new go-to guns in the battle royale. The main point of praise? The LMG’s newfound power and control.
IceManIsaacpointed out that, in fights above 35 meters, the gun has a much quicker TTK than both the Holger 26 and STG44. “The TAQ Eradicator is absolutely going to be meta,” he said.
WhosImmortal didn’t dig into the stats like IceManIsaac, butnotedthe Eradicator is “so, so good right now.” He also claimed it is a “laserbeam” with a “phenomenal” TTK.
The two Warzone experts only differ on one attachment right now and thats the ammunition. WhosImmortal favors the 7.62x51mm High Grain rounds while IceManIsaac goes for the 7.62x51mm High Velocity rounds. It’s just a personal preference.
As per WZRanked stats, the TAQ Eradicator sits as the 25th most popular weapon right now. However, with the two of them highlighting as a possible meta option, that will only increase before long.
