Following the meta in Warzone can be a little dull after a while, as you quickly realise you're using the same weapons as everyone else.

Although some players want to experiment in Gunsmith, it can be intimidating with so many options and can often result in you creating an abomination of a setup that can never compete.

That's why it's always worth listening to the experts, and for one Warzone guru, a specific forgotten AR needs your attention in Season 6.

According to Metaphor, the Kastov 545 is underrated and a complete "laser beam" at mid-range, making it easy to rack up kills with this off-meta pick.

  • Underbarrel: FTAC Ripper 56

Compared to the Kastov 762, the Kastov 545 has never really managed to gain a foothold in the meta and is often forgotten by the Warzone community.

Well, it's finally time to give it some recognition, as the loadout above transforms the AR into a zero recoil "laser beam."

Equipped with a solid TTK, top-tier stability, and enough manoeuvrability to make aggressive outplays, it's an absolute force in the hands of a sharpshooter.

If you're someone who struggles to control heavy kickback on a weapon, there's no better choice for you in Warzone. Sometimes, it's best to put raw firepower on the back burner and focus on making a gun extremely easy to use.

How popular is the Kastov 545 in Warzone?

According to WZStats, the Kastob 545 has a 1.1% pick rate in Warzone, which is respectable but does show much of the community has forgotten it exists.

On the quest to maximise damage output, the Kastov 545 is often tossed to the wayside because it has a slower TTK than the Kastov 762.

However, if you're not landing your shots, damage output is meaningless, so why not opt for the more consistent and trusty option in the 545?
