Warzone Season 5 reloaded: Amax, FFAR 1 return to meta, Automaton nerf, and more

sportskeeda.com:

Call of Duty: Warzone's last update is here. Development studio Raven Software released its patch notes on September 28. As fans bid adieu to the title as they know it, the developers have made some drastic changes to a bunch of in-game content to evoke nostalgia.

While Warzone possesses a plethora of weapons in its arsenal, constant meta-shifting has ensured that the guns regarded as the best keep changing. As updates roll out for every season, older weapons in the meta are replaced with new ones. The very last patch for Warzone, which is the mid-season update for season 5 "Last Stand," has brought back some fan-favorite meta assault rifles.

Going by the patch notes, the current meta weapons are being nerfed. And this article will focus on the changes that have been made to the weapons in the title.

The CR-56 Amax from Modern Warfare was always a fan favorite. The high-damage profile and manageable recoil made the gun the king in Warzone multiple times.

With the Call of Duty: Vanguard integration, World War 2 weapons took the place of older guns. However, with the upcoming update, the Amax might return to the meta list since its max-damage range and upper-torso-damage multiplier have been increased.

The QBZ-83 from BOCW has also received a buff. This gun was also popular during the Cold War integration. That said, for a very long time, the assault rifle was not on the meta list. However, this might change soon.

The weapon that everyone used during the Black Ops Cold War integration was the FFAR 1, and there is no doubt that the gun was the undisputed king in Warzone at the time.

With quick ADS and insane TTL (total time to kill) and DPS (damage per second), the gun was a beast at all ranges.
