Call of Duty Warzone 2.0 Loadouts: Best loadout for 556 Icarus LMG
Try out one of the most underrated loadouts in Warzone 2.0
Warzone 2.0
Call of Duty Warzone 2.0 has an ever-changing guns meta that players need to stay on top of their game. With the Warzone 2.0 Season 3 “Reloaded” rolling in, the guns meta has once again changed. Although load-outs like TAQ-66, RPK, and MCPR-300 continue to dominate Al-Mazrah, load-outs like the ISO Hemlock and Kastov 762 Assault rifles have emerged to take their place.
The 556 Icarus Light Machine Gun is one of the most underrated guns from the Light Machine Guns category. The gun has a very fast time to kill (TTK) and high damage making it a very viable option for players to pick as a long-range weapon. Although LMGs like the RPK and Raal have a better damage output, the 556 Icarus LMG gives it tough competition.
