Warzone has a plethora of different weapon options to choose from, and one Vanguard LMG that has been out of the spotlight for a while has an insanely impressive win rate in Warzone Season 5 Reloaded.

When you hop into a game of Warzone, you’ll find a wide assortment of powerful weapons to use, and Vanguard guns continue to dominate the game even after they were nerfed in Season 5 Reloaded.

While there are plenty of popular weapons for you to choose from, Warzone also features a few hidden gems that are capable of dishing out a ton of damage. One Vanguard LMG currently boasts an impressive win rate despite being underused.

The stats on WZRanked show that the Whitley LMG currently has a 4.79% win rate percentage in Season 5 Reloaded. This is tied with the Gorenko Anti-Tank Rifle and surpassed only by the Combat Shield.

While weapons like the Armaguerra 43 and Cooper Carbine are the most popular picks this season, the Whitley exceeds their win rates of 3.72% and 2.59% respectively, making it an extremely viable option.

The Whitley LMG has been out of the spotlight for a while, as the weapon currently has a low pick rate of 0.21% in Season 5 Reloaded. Despite this, it holds the best win rate of any LMG in the game, surpassing the UGM-8.

This powerful LMG gained a bit of attention back when it was buffed in the August 3 update, but has been underutilized ever since. Now seems like the perfect time to take the Whitley out into battle again.
