Warzone 2 Season 5 is well underway, and the Battle Rifles are well ahead of the pack when it comes to the long-range meta.
Picks like the TAQ-V and Cronen Squall are dominating the pick rate charts, meaning a lot of the other options are being completely ignored.
This is unfortunate, as there are countless weapons going under the radar, especially in the LMG category, which has a reputation for being powerhouses from a distance.
Well, WhosImmortal believes they've found the ultimate underrated LMG that has one of the strongest TTKs in Warzone 2.
556 Icarus loadout has a powerhouse TTK in Warzone 2

- Barrel: FTAC Coldforge 16" Barrel
- Muzzle: Echoless-80
- Underbarrel: FTAC Ripper 56
- Ammunition: 5.56 High Velocity
- Optic: AIM-OP V4
For WhosImmortal, the 556 Icarus is a hidden gem in the Warzone 2 meta, and it all comes down to the weapon's effectiveness from a distance.
Equipped with a 1015ms TTK at 63m, the 556 Icarus actually has one of the fastest TTKs in the game from that range, which is impressive, given how "slept-on" this LMG is.
On top of that, the WZ2 guru makes it clear that the gun has extremely "low recoil," which is important as it means you can lock onto targets with ease.
To truly take this loadout to the next level, run Overkill and pair with it a meta SMG like the Lachmann Sub or Fennec 45.
How popular is the 556 Icarus in Warzone 2?
Believe it or not, the 556 Icarus has one of the lowest pick rates in the whole of Warzone 2, coming in at an extremely 0.1% according to WZRanked.
That puts it at forty-third in the overall popularity rankings, which is criminal for a weapon that has this much potential. So, if you're a player that enjoys hunting for diamonds in the rough and running off-meta loadouts, this is the LMG for you.
