Iconic Warzone Equipment meta again after massive Season 3 buff

Warzone players have a strong appreciation for the return of in-game features and content. In Season 3, this trend continues as an iconic Equipment piece makes a comeback into the meta after receiving a significant buff.

With the return of Rebirth Island in Warzone Season 3, players are eagerly anticipating the reintroduction of other beloved features and content in the game, including the iconic Kar98k and various Equipment.

In addition, the developers implemented a comprehensive revamp of Warzone’s Equipment, increasing the effectiveness of the well-known C4 Lethal Equipment to match its performance in the original version of the battle royale.

The Season 3 update enhanced the C4’s range to 7.8m, both for its inner and outer damage, and velocity. In order to maintain balance, the developers made a slight increase to the detonation delay. As a result of this upgrade, players have observed a significant improvement in its performance, causing some to declare its return to the top of the Equipment “meta.”

Despite its initial popularity during the game’s original launch in 2020, the C4 has lost its appeal due to multiple nerfs following the release of the latest versions of Warzone. As a result, the Semtex and Throwing Knife have taken its place in popularity.

According to a video shared by Warzone expert JGOD on X, players can now throw C4 up to a distance of almost 20 meters without the need for the Strong Arm perk due to a buff in Season 3. This distance can be further increased by 10 meters. Additionally, the C4 can be detonated quickly using a double interaction.

A player, in a post on Reddit shared by user ‘coone90,’ responded, “Wow, that’s a really long throw for c4, especially without the perk for it. I stopped using c4 after they reduced the throw distance in WZ1.”

Nevertheless, a different user recounted their own encounter, stating, “I utilized C4 throughout the evening. IT’S BACK!”Prior to the update, the C4 was perceived as being limited due to its slower speed and shorter throwing range, putting players at a disadvantage when confronting opponents.

After the update, this explosive Equipment became a much more effective choice, allowing you to cause significant damage to enemies before engaging with them. Additionally, it now has the ability to destroy vehicles such as the Heavy Chopper, thanks to the 45% increase in vehicle health.

It appears that the C4 explosive could become a popular choice in both destroying vehicles in the traditional Verdansk manner and clearing out buildings occupied by campers. No matter which goal you have, this explosive may emerge as a favored option in the future.
