In Call of Duty: Warzone the pro Nickmercs has created a brutal setup. With the VLK Rogue shotgun, he reliably takes out opponents with just one shot. You’ll find out how that looks in action and how to build the weapon as a one-shot monster here.
Which weapon is it about? The VLK Rogue is a shotgun that could potentially play a larger role in the Warzone meta in the future. Currently, the R9-0 with Dragon’s Breath is the shotgun of choice for many players.
Some even believe that the R9-0 is totally OP and ruins the Warzone. Therefore, this weapon may soon be nerfed, and fans are currently looking for alternatives.
At the suggestion of streamer colleague TimTheTatMan, Warzone pro Nickmercs has experimented a bit with the VLK Rogue shotgun. The results are impressive.
Nickmercs also has other opinions about Warzone:
Here’s how to build the one-shot-killer VLK
This is what the setup looks like: To get a deadly VLK Rogue that takes out opponents at close range with a single hit, you should upgrade your VLK Rogue as follows:
- Muzzle: FORGE TAC Marauder
- Barrel: 16” Warlord
- Laser: 5mW Laser
- Ammunition: 8-S Dragon’s Breath
- Rear Grip: Textured Grip Tape
With this setup, you’ll have a weapon that hits brutally at close range. How intense this looks can be seen in the video that Nickmercs has published:
As soon as an opponent comes into Nickmercs’ sights, they are taken down and eliminated with a second shot. To drop a healthy opponent, it only takes one shot with the upgraded VLK Rogue.
You have to unlock the VLK Rogue, and here’s how to obtain it:
Therefore, Nickmercs is also thrilled with the outcome of his experiment. He sees a future for this weapon in the upcoming Warzone meta:
If the R9 nerf actually comes, do we believe then that the VLK will take its place? Personally, I believe that. I think that is the next step. If the R9 is nerfed, I think players will switch to the VLK.
Alongside the powerful close-combat shotguns with the Dragon’s Breath upgrade, there are also other powerful weapons currently dominating the meta. Among these are these 3 light machine guns that have even replaced assault rifles for some players. You can find out how that works here. Enjoy reading!
