Call of Duty recently released a major meta update that nerfed the kar98 and the superior 46, which have been dominating the long and close-range meta. However, these changes have brought about a more balanced gameplay experience. In this video, IceManIsaac not only covers the updated numbers but also provides alternative loadouts to consider based on the new meta changes.

Key Takeaways:

  • The kar98 has been nerfed in terms of lower torso, arm, and leg modifiers, but it still remains a strong sniper rifle option.
  • The superior 46 has also been nerfed in terms of lower torso, arm, and hand modifiers, but it still maintains its dominance with its movement speed.
  • Alternative loadouts to consider include the Moors for consistent two-shot kills and the MCW for mid-range support.
  • The Lockwood Mark 2 shotgun and the FJX Orus with the conversion kit are also viable options for close-quarters combat.

Kar98 Loadout:

IceManIsaac recommends a kar98 build that is faster and more efficient than other options, making it his favorite loadout.

Superior 46 Loadout:

The superior 46 with the rescue stock is still a dominant SMG option, especially with its fast movement speed. IceManIsaac suggests using this build for close-range encounters.

Sniper Support Loadout:

For sniper support, IceManIsaac suggests using the superior 46 with the Sonic suppressor for additional bullet velocity and damage range. This build provides more control for long-range engagements.

Alternative Loadouts:

IceManIsaac recommends the WSP 9 for consistent two-shot kills and the MCW for mid-range dominance. He also suggests trying out the new shotgun, Reclaimer, for burst damage potential.
