Warzone Season 5 has introduced perhaps the most powerful rifle in the short history of Battle Royale, as players began to realize the real potential of a rolling new FR 5.56 loadout.
Burst guns have rarely had their time in the spotlight in the history of Call of Duty. Warzone has not proven otherwise, as players instead go for quick dismissal of SMGs or destructive LMGs. However, there is a new tactic that is changing the tone rapidly.
The FR 5.56 Assault Rifle has been available for a while, but has never really found its footing. With the likes of the Gray and the M4A1 dominating the meta, there was no reason to trade for anything new. However, a devastating loadout for the burst gun can be your go-to class until a new patch is deployed.
While the standard use of the weapon is decent, it will not help you secure a victory. It’s the underbarrel attachment that appears broken in the Season 5 update. Here’s how players use the gun for instant kills in Warzone.
Underbarrel guns can be attached to most ARs in Modern Warfare. They provide an alternative weapon when enemies get a little too close for comfort. Typically, it will take a few moments to blow an enemy up close with the underbarrel. But on the FR 5.56, this damage is apparently amplified by a rolling amount.
Opponents with full health and three armor plates in Warzone can be killed with this combination in one shot. It’s as powerful as a perfect sniper headshot as a rocket with precise precision, yet you can continue shooting multiple times without loading.
From a maximum of 15 meters, this attachment can insta-kill anyone in Warzone, according to tests by popular YouTuber ‘TheXclusiveAce. ‘
“I don’t think it was intentional in any way,” he said after checking the weapon. His assumption is that Season 5 has improved the range for the base FR 5.56, and that buff has also been transferred to the bottom bar.
Players have almost rushed to use the weapon in its broken state. From leading streamers to competitive veterans, the loadout leaves all its mark on Verdansk. It featured itself heavily in FaZe Swagg’s Summer Invitational barren. HusKerrs could out five quick kills with just five shots to secure an early lead in the competition.

Infinity Ward responds to Famas glitch
Infinity Ward has tackled the issue has not yet given a clear indication of when it will be settled. The range on the bottom barrel should be reduced back to its previous state and the FR 5.56 is likely to fall in the rankings again.
We have identified the problem with the FR 5.56 and are currently working on a fix. We will share more details as they become available. Thank you all very much for your patience.

However, first be on the lookout for enemies that are trying to get a little closer than usual with an AR provided. Your entire run can end in a few seconds.
