Warzone 2 Kastov 762 AR

Community members crowned the M13B as Warzone’s best AR, but JGOD believes the Kastov 762 deserves more attention.

For two seasons, and possibly even longer, the Cronen Squall reigned supreme in Warzone. The WZ devs responded with four separate nerfs, including the most recent September 6 update. Even though the battle rifle is still considered a meta weapon, the M13B has taken over the spotlight.

According to WZ Ranked, the M13B leads all weapons with a 24.8% pick rate after the AR saw an increase to all location damage multipliers in the Season 5 Reloaded update. The fast-firing rifle is extremely easy to use, and its mobility makes it viable in Al Mazrah and Resurgence matches.

Despite being versatile and touted as the next big thing, JGOD urged players to slow their roll on the M13B.

What is the best AR in Warzone Season 5 Reloaded?

JGOD tested the time-to-kill stats of every meta Season 5 Reloaded weapon to find the best long-range meta weapon.

The YouTuber explained why he doesn’t like the M13B: “It is a reliable gun, but I personally don’t particularly like it. I wish it had an 80-round mag because maybe it would be my go-to as a fast-firing gun.”

Even though the M13B has a 60-round mag, JGOD argued the AR shoots too fast and burns through ammo faster than he would like.

So instead, the Warzone guru recommended the Kastov 762 and claimed: “The great part about this gun is the fast reload.”

JGOD revealed the well-known trick, if players reload with more than one bullet, it is faster.
