Call of Duty: Warzone 2 has large-scale maps that require players to run strong Assault and Sniper Rifles for long-range engagements, which has left its effect on other weapon classes.
The long-range meta was entirely dependent on Assault Rifles for better efficiency. With reduced visual recoil, most Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 ARs became a large part of the current weapon meta. So, to shake things up, Raven Software has adjusted many Assault Rifles for Call of Duty: Warzone 2 Season 2 Reloaded.
