TrueGameData Analyzes the Controversial SO-14 in Warzone Season 4: Is It Really as Good as People Think?

TrueGameData compared the SO-14 in Warzone Season 4 and the notorious DMR-14 meta from Warzone 1, but he believes that the SO-14 is not quite as good of a weapon as many others perceive it to be. The long-range meta of Warzone was entirely upended by Season 4. The Cronen Squall received its first nerf from Infinity Ward, which consisted of removing its combat rifle from its throne. And a fifty-point improvement in the health of base operators tipped the scales in favor of LMGs rather than ARs.

In the wake of the Cronen Squall, there does not appear to be a clear consensus regarding the finest long-range weapon; however, the SO-14 has experienced a meteoric rise in popularity. According to the data provided by WZRanked, the SO-14 is the weapon that has been chosen the second most frequently in Warzone. Also, TrueGameData has a different opinion, and while he acknowledges that the combat rifle has its merits, he argues that the best option is a weapon that is ranked thirty positions lower on the popularity rankings.

TrueGameData is warning players of Warzone about the SO-14

TrueGameData explained the questionable integrity of SO-14’s impressive statistics. “It has a great time-to-kill, but this is a theoretical TTK that is the maximum possible,” the player was told. The SO-14 can fire at a maximum rate of 500 rounds per minute (RPM), but no one can click that quickly, so this information is invalid. Therefore, although the SO-14 has a much faster time-to-kill (TTK) than any other long-range meta weapon, those stats aren’t accurate in the game.

A good number of players believe that the SO-14 is, by a significant margin, the most effective weapon available in the game. It is perfect, but using it requires considerable skill. After that, the YouTuber compared SO-14 and TAQ V’s single-fire damage statistics. The SO-14 is simpler to operate while engaged in single firing, whereas the TAQ-V is more challenging to control when engaged in automatic firing.

When firing in semi-automatic mode, the damage done by both guns is roughly equivalent. On the other hand, TrueGameData is aware of what he will be playing with. I’ll likely be using the TAQ-V. It’s a charming experience, and I prefer using automatic guns over semi-automatic ones.
