New weapon has the potential to dominate the meta, reminds players of a legendary assault rifle from MW1

Call of Duty Warzone and MW3 got 2 new weapons with Season 1 Reloaded. Some experts believe one of them could soon dominate the meta.

What new weapon is it? With Season 1 Reloaded, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and Warzone got two new weapons, including an SMG called the HRM-9.

The HRM-9 is already being described by many YouTubers as a really good weapon that could perhaps even determine the meta in the coming weeks.

The special thing about the HRM-9 is that it reminds many players who were already there in MW1 (2019) and were playing Warzone at the time of the Grau 5.56. Because the iron sight (rear and front sight) is almost identical if you equip a specific barrel.

What was the Grau 5.56? The Grau 5.56 was an assault rifle in CoD MW1 (2019) and Warzone that featured extremely low recoil. The weapon was very stable while firing and did not require much skill or training to be able to control it.

Many players were also fans of the Grau’s iron sight, as it allowed precise shots without taking up too much of the screen.

How good is the HRM-9? The German-speaking YouTuber and CoD expert “Aimbrot” is already convinced by the SMG: “It has a 50 mag and actually has everything you need. If the Swarm hadn’t been unadjusted and nerfed, it would definitely be one of the best SMGs right now.”

Later in the video he says that the Iron Sight also reminds him of the Grau 5.56: “The gun is so cool. The Iron Sisght is just the gray, it’s the gray MP and I love it completely.”

Other English-speaking content creators have also already published their first videos about the HRM-9. For example, FaZe Swagg says in a video:

The second run makes it look like it has the gray’s iron sight, so I’m assuming that if the [SMG] ever comes out with a conversion kit that turns it into an assault rifle, it will be the gray one.

Overall the SMG is amazing – no recoil, kills quickly. Unlocking this weapon in the Battle Pass is a must. […] In about 4 days this will be the meta SMG once everyone has unlocked it.

On the “Warzone Meta” website, the HRM-9 has already risen to the “best Warzone loadouts” category with different loadouts (via wzstats.gg). On the site, all weapons with their different setups are recorded and rated in a kind of tier list.

It also says that the HRM-9 is already being played in 9.35% of all Warzone matches and is even ranked above the MTZ Interceptor, the WASP Swarm and the Holger 26, all of which are also counted among the meta loadouts.

How should the HRM-9 be played? Since the weapon has only been in the game for a few days, opinions on what the best setup for the weapon is may change. Currently, this combination is particularly worth recommending:

  • Muzzle – L4R Flash Hider
  • Barrel – Princeps Long Barrel
  • Underflow – DR-6 Handstop
  • Shoulder rest – folding stock
  • Magazine – 50 Round Drum
  • If you want to use the Iron Sight of the Grau 5.56, it is essential to select the Princeps Long Barre as the barrel, as this changes the aiming mechanism of the SMG.

    If you don’t have the HRM-9 in your weapon collection yet, you can easily unlock it via the Battle Pass in Sector A21 by completing a few tasks. You can find out exactly how you get the SMG on MeinMMO: CoD MW3 & Warzone: This is how you unlock the HRM-9
