Caldera is a vast map with large wide open spaces. Despite so many open areas, most of the combat occurs in closed and tight spaces spread throughout the arena.
As the toxic gas spreads and closes the playable area, having the perfect weapon that shines in close-range fights will be the deciding factor in the outcome of that fight.
Users have witnessed some of the best weapons from Warzone Season 4 Reloaded get nerfed with this latest update. The guns once the meta are no longer what they used to be. However, this has allowed other weapons to shine.
Five most potent weapons to use for close-range fights in Warzone’s Caldera
5) RA 225 SMG
The new SMG added to the game with the Season 5 update, the RA 225, is an astounding SMG dominating the close-quarter combats. It is a must-have for Rebirth Island, but that doesn’t make it any less viable in Caldera.
With the fast fire rate and easy handling, the weapon is one of the best choices for gamers in Caldera. This new SMG quickly grabbed their attention thanks to its low time-to-kill.
