Warzone 2 guru's forgotten LMG loadout kills faster than M4 in Season 2 Reloaded

Call of Duty Warzone 2 is live with its Season 2 Reloaded patch and features new changes. In a recent YouTube video, the well-known content producer and gamer WhosImmortal demonstrated the power of the Icarus light-machine gun (LMG). The weapon was a powerful “off-meta” LMG, according to him. After the RPK’s complete domination during Season 1, LMG weaponry reached its pinnacle, and the meta moved to assault rifles and submachine guns. The Icarus has impressive statistics and could perhaps rank among the best in its class.

Theoretically, the weapon can eliminate fully-plated enemies faster than the M4 itself. Let us look at WhosImmortal’s best Icarus builds for Warzone 2 Season 2 Reloaded.

WhosImmortal compares the Icarus light machine gun with other weapons in its class and platform by presenting various information in charts.

The M4 and the Icarus remain in close competition on the Time-To-Kill (TTK) speed charts at mid-range. The long-range TTK data, however, gave the victory to Icarus by a wide margin. A comparison between the 556 Icarus, HCR 56, RAPP H, Sakin MG38, and RPK was also included in the video.

The 556 Icarus has established itself as a competitive option in the light machine gun market. The weapon has a firing rate of 779 rounds per minute (RPM) and a bullet velocity of 700 meters per second (m/s). However, its movement speed is relatively slow. Gamers can use various builds to exploit their capabilities and participate in multiple gunfights.

WhosImmortal suggests Warzone 2 players use his build to make the most out of the 556 Icarus. Here is
