The GRAU 5.56 is making a comeback to Warzone in Season 3, but there is a catch.

They revealed many weapons from the original release that are now returning to the game.
Therein, it was revealed that the GRAU 5.56 is making a comeback but not as a weapon. Read on to learn more about the recent details about the iconic Assault Rifle to Warzone in Season 3.
GRAU 5.56 won't be a new weapon in Warzone Season 3
As claimed in the video, the GRAU 5.56 will return to Warzone Season 3, but it will be just a Conversion Kit for the SWAT 5.56. It was revealed that a Fire Mod will be introduced with Season 3, which will allow players to use the SWAT 5.56 as a GRAU 5.56.

Talking about how the weapon was behaving in the playtests behind the scenes, Pete Actipis, Game Director at Raven Software, mentioned the following in the video [Timestamp: 34:02]:
"Don't get it twisted. Just because it is a conversion of a gun, it doesn't mean it is lesser of a gun. The GRAU is back and we are so happy to be playing with it in the playtests. It has been a real big hit in our internal playtests. It's highly accurate, it is very familiar to how it performed back in its prime, and like you mentioned, those iron sights are pretty awesome. They are very rad."
Based on the podcast, it was clear that although the iconic Assault Rifle is making a comeback as a Fire Mod, it won't differ from the original — players can expect a similar feel, with clean iron sights and high accuracy stats.
