Warzone’s hidden SMG gem: Why NICKMERCS predicts the Bullfrog will dominate Season 3
The Underrated Contender
While most Warzone players chase the latest meta weapons, FaZe Clan’s NICKMERCS has spotted an overlooked powerhouse in the Bullfrog SMG. The competitive Call of Duty star recently showcased why this underutilized weapon deserves more attention in Season 3’s evolving battle royale landscape.
The SMG meta has undergone dramatic shifts throughout Warzone’s history, from close-range laser beams to mobility-focused options. Currently dominated by the MAC-10 and LC10, the field might be ripe for disruption according to NICKMERCS’ analysis.
Patch Analysis
Raven Software’s May 7 balance update brought significant changes to Warzone’s weapon ecosystem. While the AMAX and Street Sweeper received expected nerfs, the Bullfrog’s adjustments flew under many players’ radars.
The Bullfrog received a nuanced rebalance: its maximum damage output decreased slightly, but gained substantial improvements to damage range (+12%), movement speed (+5%), and sprint-out time (-15%). These changes position it as a more versatile option for aggressive playstyles.
Performance Breakdown
NICKMERCS highlights three key advantages that make the Bullfrog stand out: its competitive time-to-kill (TTK), exceptional mobility, and user-friendly handling. “The movement speed is ridiculous,” he noted during his May 8 gameplay session.
Despite these strengths, WZRanked data shows the Bullfrog currently sits at just 3% pick rate, trailing behind more popular SMGs. This creates an opportunity for players to gain an edge by mastering it before potential widespread adoption.
Pro Tips for Bullfrog Domination
To maximize the Bullfrog’s potential, NICKMERCS recommends focusing on mobility-enhancing attachments. The GRU Suppressor and Task Force Barrel combination maintains damage range while improving ADS speed.
Advanced players should leverage the Bullfrog’s movement advantages in close-quarters combat. Its strafe speed allows for aggressive peeking, while the large magazine size (65 rounds with extended mags) provides sustained pressure in team fights.
Common mistakes to avoid include engaging at mid-range without proper positioning and neglecting the weapon’s improved hip-fire accuracy in frantic close-range encounters.
