Warzone 2.0 Meta Shakeup: ISO & Cronen nerfed, New Meta on the Horizon!

What is the TR-76 Geist?

The TR-76 Geist is a bullpup assault rifle chambered in 7.62 x 39 mm ammunition. This highly modular weapon allows for a great deal of customization, making it adaptable for various combat scenarios. It offers a balanced profile with solid damage output and a moderate rate of fire, all while maintaining manageable recoil. When building your setup around this weapon, consider attachments that enhance its mobility and handling. For those who prefer semi-automatic firing, a custom 10-round modification is available that offers higher damage and greater precision. Whether you’re in mid-range or close-quarters combat, the TR-76 Geist is a reliable choice for any class.

How to Unlock the TR-76 Geist?

Unlocking the TR-76 Geist is straightforward. This new assault rifle is part of the Season 6 content for both Warzone and Modern Warfare 2. To acquire it, you’ll need to complete Sector F7 in the Season 6 Battle Pass. The best part? Sector F7 is a free tier, so you won’t have to spend any additional money to get your hands on this powerful weapon.

–> How to unlock the TR-76 Geist

For long-range engagements in Warzone, the TR-76 Geist can be a formidable weapon when equipped with the right attachments. The Sakin Tread-40 muzzle is an excellent choice for superior recoil control, focusing mainly on vertical but also offering some horizontal stability. The 40ms impact on ADS time is a small trade-off for the level of control you get. You can aslo use the Talon suppressor if you want to maximize bullet velocity and have a suppressor.

The Bruen Bridle Heavy barrel is the longest available for the TR-76 Geist, making it an ideal choice for long-range combat. It significantly improves damage range and bullet velocity, ensuring your shots hit harder and faster.

While the Schlager 3.4X optic isn’t specifically designed for low visual recoil, the TR-76 Geist’s inherently low recoil allows players to take advantage of a higher zoom level for better target acquisition at a distance.

The FTAC Ripper 56 underbarrel has been the go-to choice since the launch of Warzone 2. It effectively eliminates aiming sway, reducing randomness in the recoil pattern and making your shots more accurate.

Finally, the 45-round magazine is a standard choice that balances ammo capacity with mobility. It ensures you have enough firepower for extended fights without slowing you down too much.

In Ranked play, the TR-76 Geist loadout is quite similar to the one recommended for long-range engagements in Warzone. However, there are some key differences to note, particularly when it comes to optics. In Ranked, most engagements tend to be at closer ranges compared to public matches in Warzone. Therefore, a standard scope with less zoom, such as the SZ Recharge-DX, is recommended.

The SZ Recharge-DX optic offers a lower zoom level, making it easier to track and eliminate targets at medium to close ranges, which are more common in Ranked play. This change in optics aligns well with the overall build, which already includes the Sakin Tread-40 muzzle for excellent recoil control and the Bruen Bridle Heavy barrel for improved damage range and bullet velocity.

The FTAC Ripper 56 underbarrel remains a constant in both loadouts, effectively eliminating aiming sway and making your shots more accurate. The 45-round magazine is also consistent across both builds, offering a good balance between ammo capacity and mobility.

This loadout is designed to be both mobile and stable. The Sakin Tread-40 muzzle continues to be a reliable choice for recoil control, especially with the tuning optimized for this particular role. The Cronen Mini Pro optic offers a good balance between zoom and field of view, making it ideal for mid-range combat.

The 45-round magazine ensures you have enough ammunition for extended fights, while the Tactical Grip Tape improves the weapon’s handling, making it easier to aim quickly and accurately. Lastly, the FSS Hardtop Comb further stabilizes the weapon, reducing both vertical and horizontal recoil.

Pair this loadout with a sniper rifle like the FJX, MCPR, or Signal 50, and you’ll have a versatile setup capable of handling a variety of combat scenarios.

This sniper support loadout for the TR-76 Geist is perfect for those who want to engage enemies at mid-range while still being effective in close-quarters combat. It complements sniper rifles well, making it a solid choice for any sniper support class.

Before the update, the Lockwood 300 was a two-shot shotgun, requiring players to land two shots for a kill. However, the MAELSTROM DUAL TRIGGER changes the game entirely. This new trigger action slot attachment combines both shots into one, making it a one-shot kill weapon even against enemies with three armor plates.

The Importance of Accuracy

While the Lockwood 300 is incredibly powerful, it’s crucial to note that you’ll need to reload between each shot. Missing your only bullet could be fatal, so make sure to aim carefully. Interestingly, the gun performs better when you aim down sights (ADS) rather than hip-firing, so keep that in mind for maximum effectiveness.

Time to Kill (TTK) = 0ms

The Lockwood 300’s time to kill (TTK) is virtually zero milliseconds, making it the best close-range gun in the game right now. This shotgun is perfect for clearing rooms, holding corners, and dominating in close-quarters combat.

Restricted in Ranked but Not in Resurgence and Regular BR

Due to its overwhelming power, the Lockwood 300 with the MAELSTROM DUAL TRIGGER attachment is already restricted in Ranked Play. However, you can still use it in Resurgence and regular Battle Royale modes. Abuse it while you can, as it’s likely to be patched soon.
