Claiming that the Cold War AR “decimates” at medium range thanks to buffs to its headshot multiplier in Season 5 Reloaded, this gun is perfect for racking up countless kills.

Not only that, but the EM2 also has the highest KD ratio in the game according to WZRanked, despite only having a 0.3% pick rate.

To capitalize on the gun’s powerful TTK, WhosImmortal’s build maximizes the weapon’s damage and attempts to bolster its heavy recoil pattern.

Alongside the EM2, we recommend utilizing the Overkill perk so you can run a meta SMG. This will give you an extremely versatile loadout that can outmatch enemies in any location on Rebirth Island.

While there are countless SMG options available, WhosImmortal opts for the Marco 5, but the MP40 and Armaguerra 43 are also great choices.

So, don’t hesitate to test this setup out in your Warzone matches, and see if you can pick a few wins with this loadout on Rebirth Island.
