The assault rifle NZ-41 was a force in Call of Duty: Warzone shortly after the release of CoD: Vanguard. But it received a heavy nerf and vanished into obscurity. Now it is back and brings you a laser rifle with high damage – with the right setup.
The NZ-41 is an exciting assault rifle in Call of Duty: Warzone with special properties. The longer you fire in automatic mode, the harder the handling becomes – the recoil increases. At least that should be the case.
Because after a buff of the NZ-41, there is no longer talk of “recoil” in the usual sense. The assault rifle is extremely stable, offers high damage, and Warzone expert “JGOD” even calls the NZ-41 “the best weapon for range currently”.
How you can build the laser yourself at home, we will show you on MeinMMO.

To unleash the full potential of the NZ-41, you need the burst barrel. It ensures that the weapon fires in a 3-shot mode. But you can also switch the firing mode to “Automatic,” and here lies the hidden power.
The burst barrel in automatic firing mode is very stable and delivers high damage. With chest shots, you are approximately on the level of the StG 44, which is also considered very strong.
However, the NZ-41 boasts a significant advantage: Only one hit on the neck hitbox or the head significantly reduces the time-to-kill. Additionally, the time-to-kill does not increase when you hit weak hitboxes, such as extremities or the stomach.
How extremely stable the assault rifle currently is, you can check out in the English video by JGOD. The Warzone expert shows a relaxed 180-meter kill on Rebirth Island (at 2:20 min):
After the buff, the NZ-41 ranks at the top of the weapon meta and is very easy to handle. A nerf may be coming soon, as the damage values along with the almost non-existent recoil are really very strong.
Until then, the assault rifle ensures easy kills and an advantage for everyone who knows the trick with the burst barrel. More alternatives in the weapon meta can be found here: The best weapons with setups in Warzone – Continuously updated.
