While the impact of the recent NZ-41 nerf is yet to be felt in Warzone, players have begun looking for a worthy replacement for it, and the perfect candidate appears to be another assault rifle from Vanguard.
The least we can say is that assault rifles and submachine guns are more popular than ever in Warzone. Much to the chagrin of many players, the sniper nerf left them free and now it seems to be impossible to get rid of.
Indeed, once an assault rifle or a Vanguard submachine gun is nerfed, another takes its place and so on. After the fall of the STG44, the NZ-41 has made a name for itself in the sun, and now that it’s been nerfed, another assault rifle could well replace it and in turn take the lead. ranking.
The NZ-41 seems to be about to be dethroned.
Indeed, although the NZ-41 is not yet showing signs of weakness, many believe that its recent nerf has signed its death warrant and they do not intend to wait for its fall to find an alternative.
While the community scans the ranking of the most popular weapons in search of this famous replacement, it seems to have already been found.
The KG M40 on the way to becoming the new king of Warzone?
In the eyes of several content creators, another assault rifle from Vanguard would be the ideal candidate to replace the NZ-41, the KG M40. This weapon made its appearance on Warzone during Season 2, but it failed to establish itself in the meta.
Still, according to content creator IceManIsaac, this underrated assault rifle might finally get a chance to shine. He says it won’t go unnoticed for very long, because now with the right class it can compete with the NZ-41.
“The key thing about this class over the NZ-41 is less recoil, better ball speed and comparable TTK”did he declare.

The KG M40 also caught the attention of JGOD, Warzone’s stats specialist, who said the weapon’s recoil makes it one of the easiest weapons to use for ranged combat.
In Season 4, the KG M40 had its minimum damage increased from 24 to 26. Its knockback intensity was adjusted and several of its attachments were improved.
Since the June 30 patch, it has moved up a few places in the leaderboard, with an increased pickrate, K/D, and winrate. Whether the trend will continue remains to be seen.
