A previously dominant Modern Warfare 3 Assault Rifle is “better than ever” in Warzone as an SMG with a rapid Time to Kill, but a lot of players are overlooking it.
TheSeason 4 Reloaded update for Modern Warfare 3 and Warzonereally threw a spanner in the works for the battle royale’s meta. The KAR98K and Superi 46’s dominance was hit in a big way as the iconic Call of Duty rifle was nerfed quite significantly.
That nerf hasseen the KAR98K replaced by a number of weapons from MW3, with a battle brewing between a few MW3 SMGs to be named the best gun in the game.
Contenders for that title include the Superi 46, FJX Horus, and Striker, but there’s another that you need to consider – the BP50. The previously dominant Assault Rifle was highlighted by Warzone guruWhosImmortal, as he believes it is “better than ever” right now when set up as an SMG.
“This thing is capable of holding its own and now the fact it’s been updated to be a true SMG, it is better than ever in my opinion,” the YouTuber said in his July 13 video. “
The key to that change? That would be the JAK Revenger kit. According to WhosImmortal, it becomes “ridiculously, ridiculously strong” but you become “limited” with attachments as you switch focus to being an SMG.
On top of his own endorsement, the BP50’s stats back up WhosImmortal’s claims too. In fights up to 15 meters, it outguns the FJX Horus, Superi 46, and Striker with a 559 ms TTK.
