The assault rifle is the jack of all trades in Call of Duty: Warzone. ARs can be used for close to medium range fights. And when they’re equipped with a proper loadout, they can even be dominant at long ranges throughout the huge sightlines of Caldera or even the close range battles of Rebirth Island.
