Warzone 2 expert Metaphor has revealed what he believes is the “best gun” in Season 3 of the battle royale, and surprisingly it’s a Battle Rifle.

Warzone 2 Season 3 introduced various buffs and nerf to the battle royale which ultimately shifted the meta and led to many players experimenting with loadouts to discover new powerful builds.

Depending on your playstyle, you may be looking for a close or long-range weapon build, or maybe even both to complete your loadout. Regardless, you’re going to want to use the best weapons to get an advantage over your enemies, and the Season 3 update introduced some brand-new weapons to Warzone 2.

Metaphor claims that one of the new weapons is the “best gun” in the game, sharing his “one shot” Cronen Squall Battle Rifle loadout, so let’s check it out.

Metaphor’s one shot Warzone 2 Cronen Squall loadout

Barrel: HR6.8 Barrel
Muzzle: Sakin Tread-40
Magazine: 50 Round Drum
Rear Grip: Sakin ZX Grip
Optic: Cronen Mini Pro

Metaphor starts this Warzone 2 Cronen Squalll loadout with the HR6.8 Barrel, which provides a boost to damage range, bullet velocity, and recoil control.

The Sakin Tread-40 muzzle and Sakin ZX Grip are great for further decreasing the weapon’s recoil, allowing you to hit more shots and stay on target at long range.

As for the magazine, Metaphor opts for the 50 Round Drum, which is more than enough for all squad size modes on Warzone 2. Finally, the Cronen Mini Pro optic is a nice clean sight for you to take enemies down with.

Metaphor uses this Cronen Squall loadout in single fire, as the damage and range are increased drastically in this mode. Definitely give this weapon a try, as Metaphor believes it is currently the number one weapon in Warzone 2 Season 3.
