Warzone YouTuber Metaphor has showcased a “secret” loadout for the Owen Gun that’s perfect for dominating your opponents in Season 3 Classified Arms.

However, in recent weeks, another competitor has risen up through the ranks and is considered by some to be the strongest close-quarter gun on Caldera and Rebirth Island.

This weapon is theOwen Gun, and although it received a set of nerfs in theClassified Arms patch, it has retained its mind-blowing TTK.

Despite this, in order to get the most out of the weapon, Warzone YouTuberMetaphorand pro playerWarsZhave outlined some significant changes to the meta loadout to ensure it still dominates after the update.

Attachments

As showcased by Metaphor and WarsZ this “secret” build for the Owen Gun was created in response to the Season 3 nerfs that hit the Hockenson 142mm Rapid, decreasing its fire rate from 19% to 16%.

Now, instead of equipping a barrel, this build removes that attachment and focuses on maximizing mobility, making it a dominant force on Rebirth Island.

To ensure the Owen Gun still has a lethal TTK, the setup runs the8mm Kurz 60 Round Drumthat increases damage, bullet penetration, and bullet velocity.

While this does come with the extra recoil, it’s well worth the setback and you’ll be running a primary AR or sniper for long-range engagements anyway.

Keep in mind, that this loadout may take some practice to master as the hefty kickback can make it difficult to control. However, this build is definitely worth testing out in your games as it has the potential to outshine the MP40.
