Warzone 2 guru unveils “phenomenal” close range weapon amidst Fennec nerfs
Warzone 2 guru WhosImmortal has unveiled a loadout for a great medium and close range ‘hybrid’ weapon in Season 2.
TheFebruary 24 updatecompletely shook upWarzone 2’s metaby nerfing RPK and Fennec which were still dominating the meta despite being nerfed at the beginning of Season 2.
With the top spots on the food chain of Warzone 2’s meta opening up, players and content creators are already proposing their candidates for the top tier options.
YouTuberWhosImmortalalready proposed a number of close-range weapons that could replace the nerfed Fennec. One such weapon is the Kastov 74u which serves as a ‘hybrid’ of a medium range assault rifle and a close range submachine gun.

WhosImmortal explained that he thinks Kastov 74u is on-par with Chimera for a hybrid of medium and close range rifles.
“The Kastov 74u, is also phenomenal for this AR/SMG style of play. Close range, some medium range in there as well, low recoil, just not as mobile as some of the subs but it makes up for it with damage I would say for sure,” said the content creator about the 74u.
The assault rifle has plenty of firepower and a rapid TTK at close ranges, and the build above focuses on furthering its mobility to compete with other close range weapons. Slapping a 45 round magazine on top of that, you can easily take on multiple opponents without running out of ammo in a single firefight.
This combination of close range and medium range capability with high magazine capacity and enhanced mobility with this loadout makes it possible to contend with most of the meta SMGs up close.
That said, you’ll still want either a sniper rifle like theSP-X 80or an assault rifle like theSakin MG38for medium to long ranges. The 74u has a 1.4% pick rate according toWZRanked, which is not the lowest, but it’s definitely far behind meta weapons in popularity.
