Warzone star Kris ‘FaZe Swagg’ Lamberson has revealed which fan-favorite Modern Warfare Assault Rifle is in the spotlight again following the NZ-41 nerf.

A few powerful weapons underwent major changes in the June 30 Warzone Pacific update, with the H4 BlixenMarco 5, UGM-8, and overpowered NZ-41 all receiving considerable nerfs.

These changes will have a significant impact on the game’s meta, and players are wondering which weapons are now the best picks. Warzone pro FaZe Swagg has recommended trying out one popular Modern Warfare AR in Season 4.

Warzone M4A1

In his YouTube video, FaZe Swagg showcased the capabilities of the Modern Warfare M4A1 and praised the weapon for having “some of the best bullet velocity” in Warzone Pacific Season 4.

Throughout the match, the weapon helped him secure quick kills even when the targets were at a distance. He then described it as “the gun that you need to rock” before revealing his loadout for it.

  • Muzzle: Monolithic Suppressor
  • Barrel: Stock M16 Grenadier
  • Optic: VLK 3.0x Optic
  • Underbarrel: Commando Foregrip
  • Ammunition: 60 Round Mags

The Monolithic Suppressor muzzle boosts the weapon’s damage range so that you can eliminate distant enemies. The muzzle’s sound suppression will also help keep you hidden from foes.

The aiming stability and recoil control both receive major buffs with the help of the Stock M16 Grenadier barrel and Commando Foregrip underbarrel. This will allow you to take out your opponents with greater accuracy.

The VLK 3.0x is a great optic because of its zoom that you can use to pick off foes in long-range combat. Finally, the 60 Round Mags ensure that you have enough ammo to take out multiple enemies.

Be sure to try out this M4A1 loadout the next time you hop into Warzone Pacific. According to FaZe Swagg, this weapon is the best choice “for the comfortability of all players” in Season 4.
