Call of Duty Warzone received a list of new weapons in Season 5, but the best M4 loadout remains one of the most popular choices in the game. It is a flexible weapon with a beginner-friendly recoil kick and a respectable damage output that can be enhanced with a few tweaks in the build. The M4’s ability shines the most in medium and some long-range gunfights. However, it does not have close-quarter combat capabilities.

Warzone (WZ) can put squads in dangerous scenarios where your loadout will become the first and last line of defense. This is why you must build a class that can suit your playstyle and help you dominate the online lobby. Fortunately, the M4 is a flexible weapon that can be engineered for different situations.
