The Cronen Squall is featured in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 as a Battle Rifle and due to its impressive damage output and manageable recoil, it attracted the fanbase. Its reign as the go-to pick for many players was put to an end by significant nerfs, decreasing its effectiveness to a more balanced level. However, it continues to be a desirable choice that may establish its superiority in medium- to long-range battles.
The Cronen Squall can be a worthy choice in Season 4 due to the gameplay change where the base health pool increased, and weapons with high TTK ratings in mid-range with high damage output started dominating. Furthermore, with a proper loadout setup the weapon's effectiveness can further be increased.
