Five Modern Warfare weapons viable in Season 4 of Call of Duty Warzone

The domination of Vanguard weapons in the meta of Call of Duty Warzone has been a source of constraint for many players. However, the Season 4 patch is turning out to be a salvation for such gamers.

The latest update has led to the return of Modern Warfare and Black Ops Cold War firearms in the meta.

Modern Warfare weapons in Call of Duty Warzone mainly belong to the current era of firearms. These types of munitions are preferred by a significant number of users over the World War 2 era guns of Call of Duty Vanguard.

Since Modern Warfare was the first integration into Warzone, the weapons from that expansion are mostly max-leveled for most individuals.

Thus, with the commencement of the Season 4 patch, they have the option to return to Modern Warfare guns as they are again viable in the current iteration.

1) M13

The M13 is famous in the player base for its smooth recoil control and exceptional muzzle velocity. It is a near-perfect mid to long-range weapon for Season 4 of Warzone and has a faster time-to-kill (TTK) value than the meta NZ-41.

This Modern Warfare gun has been a top pick among pros this season, and casual users and novices should give it a go. Its best attachments for maximum potential are:

Muzzle - Monolithic Suppressor
Barrel - Tempus Marksman
Optics - VLK 3.0x Optics
Underbarrel - Commando Foregrip
Magazine - 60 Round Mags

2) Kilo 141

The Kilo 141 is a weapon that is well known by the majority of users in the game. It is the first gun an operator unlocks, and the chances of it being maxed out by the majority are high.

Despite being the default firearm in the title, it is not an assault rifle (AR) to look down upon in Season 4 of Warzone. The Kilo 141 is renowned among gamers for its substantial muzzle velocity and near-effortless recoil control.

Muzzle - Monolithic Suppressor
Barrel - Singuard Arms 19.8" Prowler
Optics - Corp Combat Holo Sight / VLK 3.0x Optics
Underbarrel - Commando Foregrip
Magazine - 60 Round Mags

3) M4A1

The M4 has been a staple in the Call of Duty franchise for a long time, and Warzone is no different. This famous AR is known within the community for its outstanding bullet velocity and high damage profile, and the recoil is also entirely controllable.

The M4A1 is very competitive in this Call of Duty Warzone season and is gradually making its way back into the mainstream meta. The best setup for close to mid-range combat with this gun is:

Muzzle - Monolithic Suppressor
Barrel - Stock M16 Grenadier
Laser - Tac Laser
Underbarrel - Commando Foregrip
Magazine - 60 Round Mags

4) RAM-7

The RAM-7 is undoubtedly one of the most versatile assault rifles in the entirety of Call of Duty Warzone. The firearm also holds the title of long-range beamer in the game's current season.

Not only is it good at long ranges, but it's even more potent in close-mid range gunfights. This fact can be attributed to the blistering TTK of this gun, which is quite fast for the standard of ARs this season.
