Exploring the best builds for Armaguerra 43 in Season 5 of Call of Duty: Warzone

Armaguerra 43 is a very powerful SMG that players can equip in Call of Duty: Warzone. It was added to the game as part of the Vanguard integration in the Season 2 Reloaded patch of Warzone Pacific.

The Season 4 patch was a god-sent for this gun as it was extensively buffed by the developers during that update. Since then, it has firmed its position as one of the top choices in the game, and despite being slightly nerfed in the subsequent updates, it has still maintained its place in the meta of the current season.

Armaguerra 43 is loved by its users for its insane strafing speed. Paired with the the high rate of fire and good recoil control, this is a suitable weapon for the run-and-gun style of gameplay. Additionally, it also boasts one of the fastest time-to-kills (TTKs) among the class of SMGs in Season 5.

This gun has a upper torso TTK of 671ms that can be maintained up to a distance of nine meters. Beyond this range, it experiences a damage drop-off and a slight increase in the TTK can be observed. Thus, it can be stated that the fastest TTK build for the gun works most effectively in the close-range-combat scenerio.
