FaZe Swagg has revealed what he believes is the new “long range meta” option in Warzone Pacific following nerfs to the Automaton and BAR.

In the recent Warzone Pacific updates, the devs decided to nerf almost every Vanguard weapon, including the popular Automaton and BAR Assault Rifles.

These weapons dominated the long-range meta in Warzone Pacific, but since they were nerfed, players have been looking for the new best option. FaZe Swagg believes he may have found the new “long range meta” as his recent video shows off how strong the Bren LMG is in Warzone Pacific Season 1.

According to FaZe Swagg in his recent video titled “Now the LONG RANGE META in Warzone Pacific Season 1..”, the Bren has “stood the test of time” when it comes to the devs nerfing Vanguard weapons in Warzone.

The reason Swagg feels the Bren is “standing out” is because it “has no recoil.” LMGs are known for being great at range, with strong damage output but often difficult recoil to control. However, FaZe Swagg is claiming that this isn’t a problem with the Bren.

FaZe Swagg Bren loadout

FaZe Swagg Bren loadout for Warzone Pacific Season 1
  • Muzzle: Mercury Silencer
  • Barrel: Queen’s 705mm Royal
  • Optic: SVT-40 PU Scope 3-6x
  • Stock: Hockenson SP2B
  • Underbarrel: m1941 Hand Stop
  • Magazine: 6.5 Sakura 40 Round Mag
  • Ammunition: Lengthened
  • Rear Grip: Polymer Grip
  • Perk: Tight Grip
  • Perk 2: Fully Loaded

As you can see from the attachments, FaZe Swagg has kitted the Bren to be a beast from range with attachments to help with recoil control and accuracy.

With the SVT-40 PU Scope 3-6x, m1941 Hand Stop, Tight Grip, Hockenson SP2B, and Polymer Grip attachments, players will be able to hit shots at range consistently.

Further, with the Lengthened Ammo Type and Queen’s 705mm Royal Barrel, the Bren will have great bullet velocity and damage at range, completing the loadout.

Of course, Fully Loaded will also mean that you will have an immense amount of ammo as soon as you grab your loadout, as well as the 6.5 Sakura 40 Round Mag allowing you to take down multiple enemies at once.

So there you have it, that’s FaZe Swagg’s Bren loadout, which he feels will take over the long-range meta in Warzone Pacific Season 1.
