Top 5 assault rifles for Warzone's Fortune's Keep

Call of Duty: Warzone released their Season 5 update quite recently. With it, a brand new assault rifle, the EX1, was introduced. Along with the new weapon, Season 5 also brought environmental and lighting changes to the Rebirth Island.

The Fortune`s Keep is a map with less cover, when compared to other maps in Warzone. It also happens to be smaller in scale, which makes battles quite hectic.

With almost every main area offering multiple paths to get in and out, players can quickly take fights and also run into others. It is a map that favors those who know the ins and outs, and puts gamers who like to camp at a major disadvantage.

To ensure the upper hand in duels, players must be equipped with the right weapons as the correct loadout has a huge impact on winning chances.

Ranking 5 assault rifles to try out in Warzone's Fortune`s Keep map

5) The Grau 5.56 (MW)

The fan-favorite and long-awaited Grau meta is back. After suffering huge setbacks with the nerfs and the NZ-41 taking away the spotlight, the Warzone Season 5 update brought back the gun back to its former glory.

The weapon received new buffs like a boost to its max damage, damage range, and neck-damage multiplier; this makes the Grau an obvious go-to choice.
