Call of Duty Warzone recently got an update that changed some of its known meta. While Season 3 has gone live, players weren’t expecting the game to rapidly see this much of a shift in the Warzone meta.

Since Season 2: Reloaded, the Owen gun from Call of Duty Vanguard has been highly regarded as the best SMG in both Caldera and Rebirth Island. Multiple Warzone content creators have said the meta gun has received some stealth nerf.

Is the Owen gun still viable?

Warzone has previously nerfed several weapons. With such secret shifts, the developers change a gun’s stats, but the patch notes don’t say so.

However, the nerf that has been felt by some creators might not be game-changing. The gun is still in tier S and is viable to use. Following the best builds for Caldera and Rebirth that players can use.

The Owen gun is a versatile SMG option, which comes in handy during multiple situations. As per JGOD, the most overpowered Owen gun build can vary according to the scenarios.

JGOD recommends these builds for different scenarios. Depending on the choices, the attachments will bring out the best in the weapon.

Recommended attachments:

  • Muzzle: Recoil Booster
  • Barrel: Hockenson 142mm Rapid
  • Optic: Nydar Model 47
  • Stock: Removed Stock
  • Underbarrel: M1941 Hand Stop
  • Magazine: 7.62 Gorenko 72 Round Drum / 9mm 72 Rnd Mags
  • Ammunition: Lengthened
  • Rear Grip: Fabric Grip/ Polymer Grip
  • Perk 1: Acrobatic
  • Perk 2: Quick

This is a great build for Rebirth Island’s close-range gunfights. However, adding the 8mm Kurz 60Rnd will make the gun sluggish but increase its kill potential. If players add this magazine, the build will only be applicable for Caldera.
