Call of Duty: Warzone Season 5 has been out for some time, and players have been enjoying all the new features and additions this new update has brought.
This final season patch for Warzone, called ‘Last Stand,’ has also brought many changes to the weapon meta. Guns dominating the game have received nerfs, making them less viable than they used to be. This has allowed other weapons, which weren’t picked much earlier, to shine.

If accurate, this makes the former one of the worst weapons in-game. However, as previously mentioned, going by pick rates cannot be the best measure to determine the viability of a firearm.
