Ultimately, what stands out the most is that the STG44, Restock Perk, and H4 Blixen â despite also just having its bugs fixed â have been hit with nerfs. Regardless, all three should be just fine as important offerings in the current meta.

Meanwhile, the NZ-41 should emerge as a top-tier AR option, settling next to the Automaton, BAR, Vargo 52 and XM4 as contenders for the STG44's throne.
