Warzone Season 5 Reloaded: A New Meta Established by IceManIsaac
Well-known for his prowess in Warzone, game expert IceManIsaac has identified a hidden gem that could potentially become the new long-range meta in the recently released Warzone Season 5 Reloaded.
The Changes in Season 5's Cronen Squall
In the Season 5 update, the Cronen Squall underwent multiple changes that saw its damage and damage multipliers considerably decrease. However, despite these modifications, the battle rifle continued to hold sway in Warzone's long-range scenarios. The game developers were obliged to further tweak the weapon during the mid-season update, nerfing the Cronen Squall's head, neck, torso, and limb damage multipliers. This allowed room for a new contender weapon to possibly take the lead.
Evolving Strategies in Season 5 Reloaded
The Season 5 Reloaded also saw the enhancement of the M13B's damage multipliers in all areas. IceManIsaac outlined the factors that make this rapidly firing Assault Rifle a top contender for players after the most recent update.
IceManIsaac's New Long-Range Meta King
In a new long-range meta king, IceManIsaac, using data from Sym.gg, compared Warzone's time-to-kill speeds across several weapons namely; the Cronen Squall, M13B, Kastov 762, Rapp-H, and Sakin MG38. He discovered that the M13B has a superior Time To Kill (TTK) compared to the popular picks for the best long-range meta weapons in Season 5 Reloaded.
'The M13B is killing faster than the Cronen and the Sakin. That's astounding, and even at long distances, it's taking down enemies faster than the Kastov and the Cronen. These results are unprecedented for an M13 meta weapon,' exclaimed IceManIsaac.
He further labeled the M13B as a sleeper choice for the Season 5 Reloaded. However, the secret is no longer safe. As per the WZ Ranked data, the M13B is currently the second most popular weapon in the game, with a game-changing 13.9% pick rate.
Despite his ringing endorsement for the M13B, IceManIsaac clarified that he strongly believes the weapon will gain traction among many gamers in the long run.
M13B Loadout Recommendation
For players looking to leverage the power of the M13B in their battles, IceManIsaac shared his preferred M13B loadout in Season 5 Reloaded, which is as follows:
- Muzzle: Harbinger D20 (+0.54, +0.71)
- Barrel: 14″ Bruen Echelon (+0.27, +0.27)
- Optic: SZ Recharge-DX
- Underbarrel: FTAC Ripper 56 (+0.62, +0.25)
- Magazine: 60 Round Mag
