A recently buffed assault rifle is now dominating Warzone’s long-range meta thanks to its extremely fast time-to-kill. While Season 2 introduced new weapons like the ERGT-17 and REV-46, the updated AK-27 has quickly stood out as one of the strongest options, especially at distance. Its increased damage over range makes it a top pick for players who want to eliminate enemies quickly in mid-to-long-range fights.

Stat comparisons show the AK-27 performs well up close, but it really shines beyond about 40 meters. Past roughly 56 meters, it becomes one of the fastest-killing weapons in the game, making it especially effective for controlling open areas and longer engagements.

Content creators known for analyzing the Warzone meta have also highlighted the rifle’s strength, noting how powerful it feels after the update. Although it has noticeable recoil at range, using attachments that improve stability and bullet velocity helps players stay accurate and secure quick eliminations.

To cover all distances, it’s often paired with a strong SMG for close-quarters fights, or used as support alongside sniper rifles, giving players a flexible setup that can handle almost any situation.
