TrueGameData reveals “underused” Warzone AR that rivals Cold War AK-47

The Cold War AK-47 is the go-to meta AR for the majority of players in Warzone Season 3, but it may be time to put it down and pick up an overlooked Modern Warfare weapon, the CR-56 AMAX.

While theCooper CarbineandXM4were the dominant ARs before theSeason 3 update, it’s theCold War AK-47that’s risen up as the top-tier choice in Classified Arms.

With a devastating TTK and a manageable recoil pattern, the CW AK-47 is a versatile gun that thrives in long-range engagements on Caldera.

However, with so much attention on the weapon in Season 3, a lot of other options in the AR category are being overlooked.

This makes the “underused” Modern Warfare AR a contender in Season 3 if you’re looking to maximize your damage on opponents at long range.

However, as the weapon only has access to a 45 Round Mag, it does mean that it may struggle in Trios or Quads. So, if you’re a solo player who is looking for an AR to laser beam opponents from afar, the AMAX is definitely worth testing.
