Boasting a surprising amount of speed for a light machinegun with pinpoint accuracy and strong range, there was too much upside to the weapon and far too little downside. While the M60 LMG is one of the most viable heavy weapons in Call of Duty: Warzone today, it could never compare to the Bruen MK9 at the peak of its power. Though the gun could soon see a return to power thanks to the void left by the final entry on this list, it will likely never be as strong as it once was.
With the Grau 5.56 nerfed heavily, players quickly moved on to new weapons. Damage range was also lowered on the default version of the gun, while two of the gun’s barrels were altered to be less effective in their boosts to range and lowering of recoil. The Grau 5.56 nerf took player criticisms into account, making the base weapon kick far more when being fired. However, with voices like that of pro player Crimsix joining the discussion and pushing for changes, the weapon was eventually altered. Beating out other strong Assault Rifles such as the M4A1 due to its absurd range and a lack of recoil, the gun was loved and hated by the community. Discovered soon after the launch of Call of Duty: Warzone, fans quickly saw just how strong the weapon was when compared to the rest of the weapon lineup.
One of Call of Duty: Warzone’s very first overpowered guns was the Grau 5.56 Assault Rifle.
