Many meta weapons received nerfs, and weapons that flew under the radar have now taken the main stage.

Caldera is an extensive map with lots of wide and open spaces. Not all encounters in this arena will be in tight and confined spaces.

As the map is vast, it provides for the ability to engage in proper long-range fights, where players must account for bullet physics to be accurate. Long-range combat is pretty common in Caldera, and they will often find themselves in scenarios where they must take that long-range fights and simply cannot escape.

The proper weapon in such a scenario can be highly crucial to the player’s survival. As the meta has changed with Warzone 5’s update, some hidden gems have come to the surface and are shining in Warzone.

Five most potent weapons for long-range fights in Warzone’s Caldera

5) UGM-8

The UGM-8 is a light machine gun and was introduced to the game with the Season 4 update. Its high rate of fire and mobility allow that weapon to be used as an assault rifle.

The UGM-8 is great for raining down a barrage of bullets on your enemies from a distance. It shines in situations where you must take down multiple enemies.

You can make sure that the enemy never escapes your sight alive by unloading the entire clip from a distance.

4) ZRG 20mm

This is one of the hardest-hitting sniper rifles in the game introduced to the Call of Duty series through Call of Duty: Cold War. Its high damage and fast bullet velocity can easily take down enemies across long ranges.

The capability of the weapon to knock down enemies with just one shot to the head makes the ZRG 20mm one of the best options overall to use in Caldera’s long-range engagements.

The only place it falls behind is its fire rate. So you have to connect your shots, and if you are accurate enough, you cannot go wrong with the ZRG 20mm.

1) 3-Line Rifle

You cannot go wrong with the 3-Line rifle in Caldera. The sniper rifle is currently a meta weapon in the game.

The one headshot kill ability of the gun makes it an absolute choice for users. It is similar to the ZRG 20mm concerning the one headshot kill potential, but it outshines the ZRG as the 3- Line Rifle is more forgiving.

All thanks to its higher fire rate, it allows for a higher DPS compared to the ZRG. So you are allowed to miss some shots as you can easily make up for it due to its higher fire rate.
