The Warzone 2 community has engaged in heated aim assist debates.

When you land in Warzone 2 and find yourself scrambling for the best possible ground loot weapon, TheKoreanSavage revealed an SMG that everyone is overlooking.

Infinity Ward made it easier to get loadout weapons in Warzone 2 by decreasing the price of customized weapons at a buy station from $5,000 to $2,500 and lowered the cost of loadout grenades.

Those changes weren’t enough to satisfy some community members. Warzone 2 players demanded the developers add more buy stations to obtain useful items such as UAVs, gas masks, and loadout weapons.

Fewer buy stations equate to players relying more on ground loot weapons, and KoreanSavage discovered a hidden gem.

TheKoreanSavage decided to try the SMG himself and was shocked by how powerful the weapon was without any attachments as ground loot.
