Vanguard weapons are dominating the current Call of Duty Warzone meta, but the Season 4 patch has caused quite a few Modern Warfare guns to rise back from obscurity.

The Season 4 patch of Call of Duty Warzone has resulted in many exciting changes. This latest update brought in a new Resurgence map called Fortune's Keep, along with the positively revamped map of Caldera. It also introduced an armored SUV, new weapons, game modes, skins, etc.

The latest patch has also caused a significant shift from the meta of Season 3 Reloaded. The reshuffle of the weapons' stats has led to quite a few Modern Warfare firearms climbing the list of top-tier guns in the game.


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.
