JGOD and H4 Blixen in Warzone

Call of Duty stats expert JGOD has revealed which close-range weapon is the best after the changes in the Warzone Pacific Season 3 Reloaded update.

The Warzone meta underwent some major changes with the arrival of the Season 3 Reloaded update which increased player health on Rebirth Island and introduced various weapon buffs and nerfs.

In light of these changes, Warzone expert JGOD went over the performance of different weapons and explained exactly which gun is the new close-range meta in Season 3 Reloaded.

JGOD revealed that the H4 Blixen SMG is the best close-range option that you can use in Warzone Pacific Season 3 Reloaded thanks to its decent mobility and impressive TTK.

He stated that this SMG and the Armaguerra are both “meta chasers” in Season 3 Reloaded, but the Blixen has a “significantly better TTK in general.” He also praised the weapon’s damage-per-mag before revealing his loadout for it.

  • Muzzle: Recoil Booster
  • Barrel: Jonsson 9″ RMK
  • Optic: Slate Reflector
  • Stock: Removed Stock
  • Underbarrel: SG98 Compact
  • Magazine: 7.62 Gorenko 36 Round Mags
  • Ammo Type: Hollow Point
  • Rear Grip: Grooved Grip
  • Perk 1: Steady
  • Perk 2: Quick

JGOD combines the Recoil Booster muzzle with the Jonsson 9″ RMK damage barrel to boost the weapon’s already impressive time-to-kill. He also listed the Karlsson 17″ Custom as a viable alternative choice for the barrel.

The Slate Reflector optic provides an unobtrusive sight, while the SG98 Compact, Grooved Grip, Quick. and Removed Stock will buff your movement speed, ADS speed, and sprint-to-fire speed.

For ammunition, he went with the 7.62 Gorenko 36 Round Mags, and the Hollow Point ammo type lets the SMG dish out a greater amount of damage. The Steady proficiency decreases movement penalty when injured.
