Warzone Close Range meta for Season 4 reloaded!

Last updated Aug 3, 2022
Deep dive in the close range meta for Warzone season 4 reloaded! Stats, rankings and loadouts for the best SMG.

As you probably know, the season 4 reloaded came with a set of nerfs and buffs, and this changed the long range meta, but also impacted the close range. This article is here to decrypt the best close range option you can have for Warzone season 4 reloaded.

We will go through all the criteria that are important to truly determine the short range best guns to use in Warzone. For that we will focus on the following guns: Marco 5, H4 Blixen, Armaguerra 43, Cold War MP5, Welgun, Type 100 and MP40. We could also have included some shotgun options as they received a relevant buff with season 4 reloaded, same as the Volk this is now a very relevant option for close range fights. And of course, we will end the article with all the loadouts for those guns.

Average Time To Kill

For this analysis, it’s very important that we look at the average time to kill provided by sym.gg. This is the most accurate and relevant tool for time to kill, mostly cause it’s taking real in game data and also because it’s combining all location damages (head, chests, limbs etc.) in order to generate an average time to kill. Some gun kill faster than other with headshots but not with chest for example, so the average time to kill is the only relevant comparison tool for this statistic.

As we already know, we have a clear winner when it comes to time to kill, and this is the Type-100. This gun is the fastest killing smg in the game and it’s not even close. We can also highlight the insane first damage drop at 20 meters where most of others SMG are around 10 meters. We’ll see in the next stats analysis that Time To Kill is not the only criteria, but Type 100 is a killing machine.

Then, if we look at the others, we have to say that the pack is very tight and depending on the interpretation any of those guns could be considered absolute meta. There is in my opinion one SMG that might be actually better than the Marco 5 and the others: the Armaguerra 43. Best time to kill until 16 meters (except for small range from 9 to 12)and then almost identical to the Marco 5.

Blixen is approximately the same as the Marco until 9 meters, but the the damage drop off is not that good on this gun!

Finally, the Cold War MP5 is also making a comeback thanks to a good buff for season 4 reloaded. MP5 is ok until 11 meters, but then the time to kill is one of the best! Pretty much the same idea for the Welgun.

Average Down Per Mag

In my opinion, this is probably the most important statistic to look at when it comes to comparing guns. Time to kill is important for 1v1 fights, but if you play Trio or Quads, then the average number of enemies that you can down with one mag is crucial. If you only play solos or duos, then this stat is less relevant for you.

This one is more straightforward than the Time To Kill and we see three clear winners: Marco 5 in first, Blixen in second and Armaguerra 43 in third place just behind.

I want to highlight the Type 100, as this is where we can really see that this gun is the absolute meta for solo or duo, but in game modes that require to kill more enemies like Trio or Quads you will struggle with the Type 100 despite the disgusting Time To Kill.

Mobility

Now let’s deep dive into the mobility of the studied SMGs. Mobility is extremely important in order to really be effective and outplay your opponents! The way you sprint, strafe or move can 100% save you from some fights or annoying situations.

Marco 5, Welgun, Blixen and MP40 have the best mobility when it comes to sprinting, you’ll feel like you are zooming across the map like Speedy Gonzales!

Now, let’s focus a little bit once again on the Armaguerra 43. Look at that incredible ADS Strafe Speed.. this is what makes you win your 1v1 if you are a skilled player. Even with strong Aim Assist, your opponent will not be able to track you thanks to this amazing strafe speed while ADSing.

Best Close Range meta loadouts for Warzone

Let’s close this extensive article by giving you my final ranking of the best SMGs in the game for Warzone season 4 reloaded. You’ll get multiple loadouts for each of the guns, but note that the stats you see above are always using the “Close Range” or “Aggressive” loadouts and not the sniper supports loadouts. The later are there just as a bonus for you to thank you for reading this article.

Best Marco 5 Warzone Loadout

Even if the Time To Kill is not obviously the best for the Marco 5, it’s the most consistent gun across the board. It’s latterly good in all situations and does not have any downside. Marco 5 is the absolute meta.

Best Armaguerra Warzone Loadout

In my opinion, the Armaguerra is really close to being the Absolute meta. Insane TTK, great downs per mag but lack mobility except while ADSing. We will monitor closely the situation, but i think the Armaguerra is the best contender of the Marco 5 and is more consistent than the H4 Blixen.

Best H4 Blixen Warzone Loadout

The Blixen is dominating the meta for few weeks now, even though on paper it’s behind the Marco or even the Armaguerra 43 since the season 4 reloaded update. I would not be surprised if in the coming weeks we witness a down in the pick rate of the Blixen and a rise in the Armaguerra one. However let’s be very clear here, the H4 Blixen is a beast and the top 3 best SMG in the game right now!

Everything You Need to Know About Warzone 2 Season 6 Reloaded: operators, haunting event and more!

Everything You Need to Know About Warzone 2 Season 6 Reloaded: operators, haunting event and more!

As the gaming community eagerly anticipates the release of Modern Warfare 3, Warzone 2 is rolling out its Season 6 Reloaded update to keep players engaged. This update is a treasure trove of Halloween-themed content, including the much-anticipated event, The Haunting. From Zombie Royale to the eerie transformation of the Vondel map into Vondead, there’s a lot to unpack. Here’s your comprehensive guide to everything you can expect in Warzone 2’s Season 6 Reloaded.

Everything You Need to Know About Warzone 2 Season 6 Reloaded: operators, haunting event and more!

Season 6 Reloaded Release Date: when is it dropping?

Scheduled to drop on October 17, 2023, the Season 6 Reloaded update will be available around 9 AM PT / 1 PM ET / 5 PM BST. This timing aligns perfectly with the end of the Modern Warfare 3 beta and the official commencement of The Haunting even

Operation Nightmare

As Operation Nightmare kicks off in the Al Mazrah area on October 17, operators are tasked with investigating a series of eldritch hot spots that have emerged following the Hellmouth incident. The mission parameters indicate that entities have been detected throughout the area of operation (AO), and these will be marked on the Tac-Map. Operators are required to investigate each location and eliminate a “Most Wanted” target along with any other hostiles. A bounty has been set on several undisclosed targets, and exceptional bravery could lead to undisclosed rewards, including a Mastery Weapon Blueprint.

Operation Nightmare Warzone

Initial recon reports suggest a range of apocryphal activities. An ancient tomb complex featuring hieroglyphs and an entity known as “The Pharaoh” has been partially disclosed. Witnesses have reported strange lights and unidentified anomalous phenomena in the night sky. There have also been encounters with a spectral entity, and reports suggest the necessity of operator vehicles for some undisclosed activity. Further into the swamp, there’s an undisclosed entity known as the “Swamp Creature” that may require non-standard armaments. Observers have described glowing, wisp-like ethereal entities referred to as “Evil Spirits.” Lastly, there are platforms outside stone walls connected to the Altars of Lilith and a Nightmare Portal codenamed “The Butcher,” whose influence may also extend to the Vondel AO.

Zombie Royale Limited-Time Mode

The much-anticipated Zombie Royale mode is making a triumphant return in the latest iteration of The Haunting, featuring new innovations as well as elements from past experiences like Rebirth of the Dead. In this mode, the dead rise to walk the earth in terrifying versions of Al Mazrah and Vondel, each offering a unique Zombie Royale experience. Unlike traditional modes where eliminated Operators go to the Gulag, here they are reanimated as zombies. Once transformed, players gain access to special abilities that make them formidable foes against the remaining human Operators. The objective for these undead players is to collect special syringes scattered around the map, which allow them to return to their human form. Adding a new layer of complexity, any Operator currently spectating the match will also be reanimated, increasing the number of zombies players have to contend with.

Zombie Royale Limited-Time Mode

The mode allows for interesting dynamics within squads, as teams can still function even if some of their members have turned into zombies. This opens up a variety of tactical possibilities, as human and undead Operators can work together to defeat enemies. However, it’s worth noting that zombies eliminated during the match are permanently removed, ratcheting up the stakes. The ultimate goal remains the same: the squad that manages to outlast and defeat both living and undead foes claims the victory. Whether you’re a human trying to survive or a zombie hunting down your former allies, Zombie Royale promises a thrilling and horrifying gaming experience.

Vondead Map

The city of Vondel has been plunged into a state of supernatural chaos, forcing a complete evacuation of its inhabitants. Triggered by a sorceress’s demonic incantation, a zombie outbreak has swept across the city, turning its canals blood-red. Adding to the eerie atmosphere, a rare Blood Moon looms in the sky, casting a haunting, scarlet glow over the city now known as Vondead. The epicenter of these paranormal activities is the Graveyard, a hotspot for dark summoning rituals. However, the entire city bears the marks of an undead invasion, from burning cars and barricaded shops to a blood-soaked tramway and train station. Additional areas like the zoo and stadium also show signs of alarming, otherworldly activities.

Vondead map

Demonic altars have been erected throughout Vondead, serving as power sources for the ongoing supernatural events. These altars are connected to a mythical entity known as “The Butcher,” challenging players to summon and confront this fearsome demon in the underworld. Defeating him promises significant rewards, adding another layer of objectives for players to pursue. Alongside this, the blood-covered streets of Vondead may hold other hidden treasures for those daring enough to explore. Whether it’s special weapon blueprints, unique skins, or other in-game items, braving the dangers of Vondead could prove to be both a horrifying and rewarding experience.

Halloween-Themed Lockdown LTM

The Lockdown limited-time mode is making a chilling return in Warzone’s Season 6 Reloaded, this time set in the eerie, moonlit landscape of Vondead. For those unfamiliar, Lockdown is an objective-based Battle Royale mode that debuted in Season 04. In this mode, teams parachute in with their Custom Loadouts and work together to capture and hold various zones around the map, similar to the Multiplayer mode Hardpoint but on a much larger scale. The twist this time is the setting: the already intense gameplay is heightened by the ominous atmosphere of Vondead under a haunting moonlight. The night-time variant adds an extra layer of tension and strategy, making this iteration of Lockdown a blood-curdling experience you won’t want to miss.

The Haunting: Equipment and Items (Mid-Season)

As The Haunting event unfolds in Warzone, players can expect more than just zombies and monstrous entities to contend with; there’s also a host of otherworldly equipment and items to discover. One of the key features is the Captured Souls, part of the Soul Capture Event in both Warzone and Modern Warfare II. Players can collect Souls by defeating enemies and monstrous beings, which can then be traded for various rewards after each match. Additionally, the Haunting introduces the Haunted Box, a unique loot container dropped by zombies. These boxes act like mutated Armor and Munitions Boxes, providing plates, ammunition, and equipment. However, players should exercise caution when opening these, as they are possessed and could devour the unwary.

The haunting

The event also introduces the Bloodseeker Grenade, a living grenade fashioned like a vampire bat. When thrown, it latches onto enemies and highlights them in thermal vision, adding a new tactical layer to nighttime operations. However, it’s worth noting that these grenades are ineffective against Operators who are underwater. To add an extra layer of horror, lootable containers across Al Mazrah and Vondead have the potential to trigger intense jump scares. Surviving these terrifying moments allows players to claim the rewards within the container. As the event progresses, players should brace themselves for additional surprises that promise to make this mid-season update of The Haunting a truly horrifying experience.

The Haunting Operators

Season 6 Reloaded will introduce a variety of Operator crossovers, featuring characters from popular TV shows, movies, comics, and more. Some of the Operators include:

Spawn (Image Universe)

Spawn is a character from the Image Comics universe, created by Todd McFarlane. Originally a government assassin named Al Simmons, he is betrayed and killed, only to be resurrected as a Hellspawn. With supernatural powers and a complex moral compass, Spawn is a dark anti-hero who battles both celestial and infernal forces. His inclusion in Warzone 2 could bring a gritty, supernatural element to the game.

Spawn operator

Inarius and Lilith (Diablo 4)

Inarius and Lilith are characters from the Diablo universe, specifically tied to Diablo 4. Inarius is an archangel who, along with Lilith, created the world of Sanctuary as a haven for angels and demons. Lilith is a demoness known for her cunning and manipulative ways. Their complex relationship and powers could add a mythical and dark layer to Warzone 2 gameplay.

Inarius and lilith operator

Skeletor (Masters of the Universe)

Skeletor is the main antagonist in the Masters of the Universe franchise. Known for his skull-like face and magical abilities, he is the arch-enemy of He-Man. Skeletor is a character filled with both menace and unintentional humor, and his inclusion could bring a mix of magic and levity to the Warzone 2 environment.

Skeletor

Ash Williams (Evil Dead 2)

Ash Williams is the protagonist of the Evil Dead franchise, known for his one-liners and his chainsaw hand. A reluctant hero, Ash battles the undead and various supernatural entities. His gritty, no-nonsense approach to dealing with the paranormal could make him a fan-favorite Operator in Warzone 2.

Ash Williams

Alucard (Hellsing)

Alucard is the main character in the Hellsing manga and anime series. He is a powerful vampire serving the Hellsing Organization, which fights against supernatural threats in England. Known for his sadistic pleasure in battle and near-immortality, Alucard could bring a new level of intensity and darkness to Warzone 2.

Alucard

Conclusion

Warzone 2’s Season 6 Reloaded is shaping up to be an exciting finale before the launch of Modern Warfare 3. With a plethora of new content, modes, and Operators, there’s something for everyone to enjoy. Keep an eye on updates as we approach the release date.

For those looking to optimize their gameplay, the Warzone loadout CODMunity app is an invaluable tool. With over a million downloads, this app helps you find the best loadouts for any Warzone mode, offers rankings, tracks unique camos, and much more.
