Buffed Warzone Assault Rifle takes over meta with rapid TTK & no recoil

As a seasoned Warzone player who’s seen more than a few game updates and weapon tweaks, I can confidently say that the BAL-27 has finally found its groove! This AR was always promising, but it took some time to truly shine. The recent buffs have transformed it from a solid medium-range option into a formidable long-range contender, rivaling the likes of the MTZ-556, MCW, and BP50.


In the popular Call of Duty series, the BAL-27 is often loved as an Assault Rifle, but after its return in the Season 3 Reloaded update for Warzone, it didn’t live up to expectations. However, during Season 5, it received some enhancements that have brought it into the strategic mix, or meta.

The maximum damage range of the AR was significantly boosted, rising from approximately 21.59 to 26.67 meters. Additionally, adjustments were made to improve its effectiveness at longer ranges and provide a more consistent, predictable recoil pattern.

Using the BAL-27 has become more convenient due to improvements, making it no longer just a close-to-medium range Sniper Support weapon. Its recoil during prolonged firing is now manageable, and it can be effectively controlled at distance, matching high-tier alternatives like the MTZ-556, MCW, and BP50.

The adjustments in recoil and damage ranges for the BAL-27 weapon are crucial because its distinctive firing speed increases over time when you continuously press the trigger.

Improving your ability to remotely handle the weapon has significantly reduced its time to kill (TTK), since aiming accurately becomes simpler during high-fire situations due to a higher firing rate.

In his August 11 YouTube video, WhosImmortal debunked the notion that the AR is unimpressive. He detailed the Time to Kill (TTK) statistics for the weapon, explaining that the BAL-27 has become a top choice in gameplay, making it a popular pick among players, or a “meta pick.”

With TrueGameData, the well-known YouTube content creator found that the BAL-27 boasts a highly competitive time to kill (TTK) in all situations. However, it truly shines at longer ranges, allowing for higher fire rates when firing sustained shots.

Up close, it’s not as jaw-dropping since you can’t fully leverage its rapid-fire capabilities. That’s why I personally prefer packing a punchy SMG like the Static-HV or AMR9 for those nail-biting close quarters encounters.
