Players often find themselves in Warzone 2 equipped with ground loot and try to balance the loadout by carrying a weapon that can perform well in short to medium-range and one that can aid them in long-range gunfights. Weapons that excel in close-quarter combat (CQC) usually have a high fire rate and can burst down enemies with overall high damage output.
The famous Warzone 2 player and content creator JGOD recently uploaded a video citing his views on the best close-range weapons that can guarantee an upper hand.
Activision released Call of Duty Warzone 2 as its latest title as a free-to-play game that features multiple new changes to enhance the realistic experience in-game. The changes were originally introduced as a part of Modern Warfare 2, which carried over to Warzone 2 and solidified all the alterations.
