Armaguerra 43 Warzone

Thanks to Warzone expert Isaac ‘IceManIsaac’ Hamilton, players can put this insanely fast strafe speed SMG loadout to the test when looking to finesse enemies and break aim assist.

Players who zoom across the map in Warzone are certainly difficult to deal with. We’ve all been in losing situations where an enemy dominates a one vs one gunfight thanks to lightning-quick movement.

However, in Season 4 Reloaded, Warzone expert IceManIsaac has revealed the SMG loadout that you need to use to be on the opposite end of that engagement. The content creator claims that by maximizing strafe speed and ADS walking movement speed, your ability in close quarters gunfight will skyrocket.

For this loadout, you’ll want to use the Armaguerra as the weapon maintains a fantastic TTK all while being incredibly quick. Furthermore, it’s a great time to highlight the weapon as the Armaguerra is one of several post-launch weapons made available to all players following the Season 4 Reloaded update.

IceManIsaac believes that with the right attachments, the Armaguerra can break enemy players’ aim assist giving you an advantage in tight situations.

The expert explains the relationship between strafe speed and aim assist: “when you have a faster aim down sight movement speed, you’re actually able to move so fast that players actually have to use their right thumb instead of just relying on rotational aim assist and you can break people’s aim assist and get free kills.”

The advantages of using this max strafe speed Armaguerra loadout do not end with the ability to break players’ aim assist.

IceManIsaac reminds players that ADS walking allows you to move silently as if crouched: “you can pull up your gun and start aim down sight walking and if you’re moving, it’s basically like you’re walking or running inside the house but completely silent.”

This allows players to further improve their ability to finesse enemies with the Armaguerra in Season 4 Reloaded. Obviously, Isaac opts for attachments that increase ADS firing movement speed and aim walking movement speed like the Imerito 180 mm Short, Grooved Grip, Imerito TA Skeletal, and SG98 Compact.

Isaac also compares the weapon to the H4 Blixen which is currently one of the best SMGs in the game: “the Armaguerra kills just as fast as the notorious Blixen,” and he later adds that “you’re moving like 50% faster with the Armaguerra.”
