Forgotten Warzone LMG Smokes STG44 After Major Buffs

The Pulemyot 762 has emerged as a viable option in the Warzone meta thanks to the buffs and nerfs introduced in Season 5 Reloaded.

The bulky LMG was initially a crowd favorite when MW3 merged with Warzone, but lost popularity due to adjustments in balance and the introduction of new weapons. However, with recent enhancements to its mobility, handling, fire rate, and damage multipliers, it has regained its position as a premier long-range choice in Season 5 Reloaded.

After trying out the top Pulemyot setup in Warzone Season 5 Reloaded, I realized it was even more effective than the STG44 that previously held this spot. Its quick time-to-kill at long distances and manageable recoil make it a lethal weapon.

The significant advantage of the base magazine size of 100 is that it enables you to continuously deal substantial damage, giving you the ability to eliminate opponents and confront multiple foes.

The primary disadvantage lies in its mobility and handling. Although the mid-season update did bring some enhancements to sprint to fire and aimed down sight times, it remains a slower choice compared to other long-range options in the AR and Battle Rifle classes.

Although the slower speed may take some getting used to, if you adapt your playstyle to suit the weapon’s strengths, it can be highly effective. Additionally, if you prefer a close-range SMG such as the Striker or Static-HV, you will excel in close-combat scenarios.

Similarly, IceManIsaac also shares the same sentiment and highly values the Pulemyot 762 after the recent update. In fact, he even featured it in his video on long-range meta loadouts following the STG44’s decrease in effectiveness.

The well-known content creator stated that it is currently his preferred weapon to use in Warzone due to its minimal recoil and high damage output per magazine.

Hence, if you’re in search of a powerful long-range loadout to excel in all Warzone maps, the Pulemyot 762 may be the ideal choice. To maximize its potential, ensure that you acquire your loadout promptly.
