The Welgun submachine gun is a weapon from the arsenal of CoD: Vanguard and is also present in Call of Duty: Warzone. The weapon is suitable for direct close combat and is part of the weapon meta in Season 3 / 2022. MeinMMO shows you a powerful setup.
The Welgun submachine gun came with Season 1 of Call of Duty: Vanguard and must be unlocked through a challenge. For the task, you should play Plunder or the Vanguard multiplayer:
- Get 10 kills in a game with an SMG in 15 matches using the optic.
In Call of Duty: Warzone, the small projectile is one of the strongest close combat SMGs and provides you with great mobility stats. You can find the suitable setup here.

How does the Welgun play? The small weapon is fast and provides great values for mobility. However, you are not as good in terms of Time-to-Kill as with the Owen Gun, but you are still among the top.
The Welgun can be compared to the OTs 9 from Cold War. Both come with 40-round magazines, represent a lot of mobility, and have a range of nearly 10 meters for the first and strongest damage area with meta setups.
A tweet from the operators of the Warzone data tool “Warzone Loadouts” describes the current setup as follows: “Welgun with a short barrel is the new, absolute meta. It runs so fast that it feels like you have dead silence.”
