The most important nerfs & buffs of season 2 reloaded

With season 2 reloaded, Call of Duty released many quality-of-life updates but also tried to shake a little bit the meta with some nerfs and some buffs. You can find all the details on the app CODMunity, but let’s mention here the most relevant when it comes to the meta in Warzone 2.

Long Range Meta Season 2 Reloaded

Long range is always a crucial part of the meta in Warzone Battle Royale, and now that we have Ashika Island, we also have two different sets of meta for this play style.

In Al Mazrah, to determine the long-range meta, you need to look at multiple criteria and statistics: Time to kill, damage drop, recoil, and bullet velocity. ADS time and mobility are important but not that much compared to the meta in Ashika Island. Please note that you can find a dedicated section for Ashika Island on the app CODMunity, with a full meta ranking and the best-tailored loadouts for resurgence!

Best ISO Hemlock for Al Mazrah

The ISO hemlock is the absolute meta in season 2 reloaded, and the community loves it! With low recoil, a great time to kill, and bullet velocity, this Assault Rifle has everything to be the best gun in Season 2 reloaded. The only downside is the 45-round mag that can feel a little bit small in modes like trio or quads.

Best TAQ-56 for Al Mazrah

If the 45 rounds on the ISO is an issue for you, try the TAQ-56, that is offering a magazine of 60 bullets. It’s basically the same gun as the ISO, so you cannot go wrong with the TAQ-56 in season 2 reloaded.

Close Range Meta Season 2 Reloaded

Regarding the close-range meta, the most important change is linked to the nerf of the KV Broadside, the shotgun that has been terrorizing Warzone for a few weeks. It’s still good, but not at all broken anymore. So now we are looking at an absolute meta shared between the Lachmann Sub and the Vaznev-9k.

Best Lachmann Sub Warzone 2 Loadout

As mentioned, the close-range meta is now between the Lachmann Sub and the Vaznev. It’s honestly very hard to rank them, as it’s a complete preference. The Lachmann Sub is awesome for mobility and snappiness.
