Is the Warzone Haymaker meta?
The Haymaker is a good option due to its ease of use in close-quarters combat. However, it falls short at longer distances meaning secondary weapon selection is key to making this particular loadout work in the heat of battle. Its lack of long-range performance means the Haymaker may never feature in the Warzone meta unless future weapon balancing falls in its favour.
