Many savvy players might have overlooked a powerful asset in Warzone, the formidable battle rifle from Modern Warfare 2.
At the onset of Warzone’s modern Warfare 3 update, the new weapons quickly claimed the top spots in the meta. These guns were robust and highly desirable, with players vying to upgrade them as swiftly as possible.
However, as the game progressed, the meta began to diversify. The upper echelons of the meta are not solely dominated by this new crop of weapons. A variety of arms from various iterations of the game, particularly a few forgotten gems from Modern Warfare 2, have proven their worth. This became even more prevalent after the Season 1 Reloaded update.
For players keen on revisiting the arsenal from Modern Warfare 2, the FTAC Recon is a weapon worth considering. As a battle rifle, it boasts some of the best Time to Kill (TTK) stats in Warzone.
FTAC Recon: A Competitive Choice in Warzone
WhosImmortal, Warzone expert and influential YouTube game reviewer, gave the FTAC Recon his seal of approval. In a video dated January 28, he singled out the rifle as one B of the battle royale's most effective and rapid-fire weapons.
The reviewer elaborated that the FTAC Recon delivers a TTK of 716 m/s, effective up to about 47 meters. Its range and potency are impressive, with minimal degradation of performance over distance. It's indeed a high-precision weapon that rewards accuracy and consistent aim.
However, no weapon is entirely flawless. For the FTAC Recon, its most significant drawback is its limited magazine size. Even after committing one of your available slots to expanding its carrying capacity, you only get up to 15 rounds.
Unlocking the FTAC Recon's Potential
The optimal Warzone loadout for the FTAC Recon according to WhosImmortal includes:
- Muzzle: VT-7 Spiritfire Suppressor
- Underbarrel: Bruen Heavy Support
- Optic: CorioEagleseye 2.5x
- Stock: PSO Heavy
- Magazine: The 15-round mag
The reviewer also mentioned a bouncy recoil, which could initially pose a challenge. However, by allowing the rifle to recentre between shots, players can swiftly adapt and use it effectively.
The FTAC Recon is undeniably a high-performance weapon that demands a certain level of skill. Despite this, all players are encouraged to give it a shot - figuratively and literally. Its power could quickly win you over.
