Warzone Mobile: MTZ Interceptor Nerf and the New Long-Range Kings

The Fall of the MTZ Interceptor

The reign of terror is over. The MTZ Interceptor, which has plagued Warzone Mobile and its PC counterpart for weeks, has received a triple-tapped nerf in the latest Season 3 Reloaded update. We've crunched the numbers, and the theoretical TTK has increased by nearly 40% against targets with 3 armor plates.

Why the MTZ is No Longer Viable

The patch targeted three specific areas: Max Damage, Bullet Velocity, and Flinch Resistance. Previously, the Interceptor could secure a kill with two headshots at almost any range. Now, with the damage drop-off starting at 35 meters, it often requires three to four shots for a secured elimination. When you factor in the slow fire rate, it is now outclassed by almost every LMG in the game.

Introducing the Pulemyot 762 Meta

With the Interceptor out of the way, the Pulemyot 762 (specifically with the Jak Annihilator Bullpup Kit) has emerged as the clear frontrunner for long-range dominance. Our Meta Ranking Table currently places it in the S-Tier due to its incredible damage-per-magazine and surprisingly manageable recoil pattern.

The Return of the BAS-B?

Interestingly, the BAS-B battle rifle received a minor buff to its mid-range damage. While it hasn't quite reached its launch-day glory, it is now the most versatile "bridge" weapon for players who want something faster than an LMG but harder-hitting than an assault rifle.
