Looking for the best weapon loadouts to improve your average kill-death ratio (KD) in Call of Duty: Warzone? We've got you covered.
In a competitive climate in which the terms "skill-based matchmaking (SBMM)" and "bot lobbies" generate genuine animosity among players, it is perhaps no surprise that many take their KD ratios very seriously. After all, it is perhaps the clearest point of comparison that players can use to compare their in-game skill to others.
With the launch of Warzone Season 5 Reloaded right around the corner, it remains to be as important as ever to keep up with the current weapon meta in order to stay competitive. Here are the top-five weapon loadouts to use to improve your KD in Call of Duty: Warzone Season 5 Reloaded.
