When it comes to weapon categories in Warzone 2, ARs and SMGs are by far the most popular and the default for the majority of players.
As a result, certain options get completely overlooked by the community, especially Battle Rifles, which include some of the least popular guns in the entire game.
While some Battle Rifles have earned their poor reputation, there are a few hidden gems that deserve significantly more attention in Season 3 Reloaded.
Well, WhosImmortal has decided to put one in the spotlight that he believes is an 'absolute beast' in Warzone 2 and has one of the strongest TTKs in the game.
FTAC Recon loadout is an 'absolute beast' in Warzone 2
For WhosImmortal, the FTAC Recon is a hidden gem that's going under the radar, meaning the build above is capable of transforming the Battle Rifle into an 'absolute beast'.

- Underbarrel: Edge-47 Grip
- Ammunition: 458 High Velocity
- Magazine: 15-Round Mag
- Optic: Schlager 3.4x
Describing the FTAC Recon as 'high-risk, high reward,' the WZ2 guru acknowledges that the gun's semi-automatic fire can be tough for some players to use.
However, if you've got a strong trigger finger and are capable of tracking an enemy's movement, the FTAC Recon has one of the most devastating TTKs in Warzone 2.
This is definitely an option for those who love to use off-meta guns that are rarely seen in matches. While it will take a lot of practice to master, it's capable of being an 'insane' choice and is well worth adding to your loadout list.
How popular is the FTAC Recon in Warzone 2?

According to WZRanked, the FTAC Recon has an astonishingly low pick rate of just 0.3% in Season 3 Reloaded. This means it's 55th in the rankings in terms of popularity, putting it right at the bottom of the arsenal.
So, if you're keen on testing weapons that have been forgotten by the WZ2 community, this Battle Rifle may be for you, as it has the ability to 'obliterate' foes with the loadout above.
