If you’re looking for a new AR to run in Warzone, this buffed rifle outguns all the competition with low recoil and a TTK that’s tough to beat.

The Warzone meta is always evolving, as each major update introduces a host of new guns as well as buffs and nerfs to the existing lineup. When Season 2 went live, the Model L was the undisputed king, before being replaced by the Cypher 091 and AK-74 in the mid-season update.

However, there’s another Assault Rifle that’s received back-to-back buffs that has quietly become one of the game’s fastest-killing guns — the Krig C.

Krig C is the new meta Assault Rifle in Warzone

In his March 6 video, CoD expert WhosImmortal broke down the time-to-kill of all the best Assault Rifles in Warzone. He found that the Krig can down a fully-plated enemy in 752ms up to 40 meters, placing it well above the Model L and AMES 85.

It also has a fairly small drop-off, meaning it still kills very quickly up to 50 meters, which is roughly the maximum range you would want to be using an AR at anyway.

In fact, the only guns that could match the Krig in terms of sheer TTK were the AK-74 and AS Val. They could hit speeds of 736 and 737ms respectively, which is a “negligible” difference that you’d never notice in an actual match.

But what makes the Krig the better pick out of the three is just how easy it is to use. The Val has a rapid-fire rate that’s tough to handle, while the AK’s recoil pattern is fairly unpredictable, which makes it difficult to consistently land shots over longer ranges.

Meanwhile, the Krig C is laser-accurate for the first couple of shots before the recoil really kicks in. It can be a little jarring at first, but after a few fights it’s easy to learn and you’ll have no trouble deleting enemies from a distance.

WhoImmortal also shared his ideal setup to get the most out of the rifle. He advised running the Gunfighter Wildcard and equipping the following attachments:

• Optic: Wilus 3X
• Muzzle: Suppressor
• Barrel: Reinforced Barrel
• Underbarrel: Ranger Foregrip
• Magazine: Extended Mag II
• Rear Grip: Ergonomic Grip
• Stock: Balanced Stock
• Fire Mods: Recoil Springs

Of course, the Season 3 update will shake up the meta again, with plenty of classic weapons rumored to be returning. But unless it’s hit with a major nerf, don’t be surprised to see the Krig C dominating Verdansk.
