Warzone 2 players are always desperate to find the strongest loadouts for every different scenario, and stats expert TrueGameData has used his new “AI meta tool” to name the best long-range weapon build in Season 3.

Warzone 2 Season 3 shook up the meta in a number of interesting ways, thanks to the addition of two new weapons, the return of one-shot Sniper Rifles, and a ton of buffs and nerfs. These changes had a major effect on the most popular guns, with the ISO Hemlock finally falling out of favor.

This may have left many players wondering what the new meta weapons are in Warzone 2 Season 3, especially in the long-range category. While Sniper Rifles are naturally suited to long distances, some fans still prefer a fully-automatic option with more versatility.

Now, Warzone 2 expert TrueGameData has used AI to reveal the best long-range weapon build in Season 3 according to the stats.

In his April 19 video, TrueGameData uses his “AI meta tool” to show that the Cronen Squall, the new Battle Rifle added in Season 3, is the best automatic long-range weapon in Warzone 2 right now, beating out the RPK and ISO Hemlock.

Describing the software he used to make the discovery, the YouTuber said: “It’s an AI tool that will look at all the combinations of all weapons and attachments, and basically spit out the best builds for every gun in every scenario.”

Check TrueGameData’s best Cronen Squall loadout for Warzone 2 Season 3 below.

TrueGameData’s best Cronen Squall loadout in Warzone 2

  • Muzzle: Tempus GH50
  • Underbarrel: FTAC Ripper 56
  • Magazine: 50 Round Drum
  • Ammunition: 6.8 High Velocity

TrueGameData explained that the Cronen Squall comes with a fair amount of verticle recoil, so the AI tool started the loadout with the Tempus GH50 to keep it in check. It also chose the FTAC Ripper 56 underbarrel, to keep Battle Rifle stable and ensure you’re hitting your shots over long distances.

Next up was the 50 Round Drum, allowing the Cronen to deal with full squads of players before having to reload. The drums were stocked with 6.8 High Velocity ammo, which is vital when it comes to landing shots over long distances.

The YouTuber then explained that players could choose whichever Optic they prefer to give them pinpoint accuracy when picking off far-away enemies.

All in all, when it comes to the stats, this Cronen Squall loadout is currently the hardest-hitting long-range weapon in Warzone 2 Season 3, with a true TTK that beats out all the competition.
