As one of the two S-Tier battle rifles in Warzone 2, Cronen Squall is definitely worth it. The gun performs incredibly well in mid to long-range combat, demolishing fully plated enemies even after all the nerfs. However, those who don’t like Cronen Squall could replace it with TAQ-V, the most popular gun in the entire Warzone 2 META.
