Most players have an opinion when it comes to the debate regarding weapons that need a nerf in Warzone Season 2. While there is always much discussion surrounding which guns the game's developers should adjust next, the community tends to have a general consensus regarding which weapons are overpowered.

Warzone weapon tier lists provide an S-tier category which highlights the best weapons in the current meta. While players may find the rankings of mid-tier weapons to be highly debated, it is usually easy to tell which weapons should be avoided at all costs and which are essential picks. Here are three weapons that need a nerf in Warzone Season 2.

FFAR 1

One of the deadliest Warzone guns, the FFAR 1 has a high presence on the battlefield. Some argue that this assault rifle should be a contender for the best weapon in the game, and it is easy to see why this is the case. It may suffer in the recoil department, but the FFAR 1 has one of the lowest time-to-kill rates in Warzone. In close-quarters combat, this weapon is sure to strike like lightning and shred enemies in seconds. Pairing it with the AUG creates a dynamic weapon duo that will make players unstoppable in Verdansk.

The AUG, like the FFAR 1, is an extremely popular weapon. It shines in the medium- to long-range, so when paired with the short-range FFAR 1, it becomes an exceptional choice for the battlefield. The weapon boasts a low time-to-kill and is capable of taking down fully-armored enemies in two bursts. Warzone's community consensus seems to be that this is one of the best weapons in the game, and even some celebrities, like Odell Beckham Jr and Trevor Noah, have called for the AUG to be nerfed.

Mac-10

Most people consider the Mac-10 to be the best SMG in the game. It is a formidable threat on the battlefield because of its extremely fast time-to-kill, reduced recoil, and rapid fire-rate. Players finding themselves trapped in close-quarters combat can use the Mac-10 to take down their opponents in seconds. Even fully-armored enemies should fear the wrath of the Mac-10.
