If consistency is what you're looking for in Warzone, then the assault rifle category will always be your best bet. In Season 6, the top choices are the Tempus Razorback which brings unmatched power at mid-range, and (of course) the Kastov 762, which destroys foes from a distance.

Unfortunately, the popularity of these two picks has led many players to overlook a hidden gem of an AR that recently got "overbuffed." In Luke "Metaphor" Canning's opinion, this specific weapon is now "top-tier" and an absolute laser at long-range in Season 6.

  • Barrel: 15.9" Lachmenn RAPP Barrel
  • Muzzle: SAKIN Tread-40
  • Underbarrel: FTAC Ripper 56
  • Magazine: 60 Round Mag
  • Optic: AIM OP-V4

In the October 23 Warzone patch, the Lachmann 556's close and mid damage range was significantly increased, and following this change, Metaphor argues the gun has been "overbuffed."

Now, it's the weapon's "time to shine," and for him, it's one of the most "consistent" ARs on the entire arsenal for racking up kills.

If you're someone who struggles to control recoil, Metaphor claims this is the number one pick for you in the current meta. The gun's brilliant stability and damage output make it a complete powerhouse.

Pair this weapon with Overkill and a lightning-fast SMG like the Vaznev-9k or Lachmann Sub, and you'll be a force to be reckoned with.

How popular is the Lachmann 556 in Warzone?

According to WZStats, the Lachmann 556 has an extremely low pick rate of just 0.5%, meaning it's being slept on by most of the community.

Its damage output may not match the Kastov 762, but its minimal recoil and stability cannot be ignored. Often, players prioritise damage over everything else, but if you're not hitting all your shots, the power becomes useless. So, if you're looking for a new main AR, you can't go wrong with the Lachmann 556 in Warzone Season 6.
