Raven Software left no stone unturned after nerfing the DG-58 LSW a second time, taking the LMG out of long-range meta contention inWarzone. Fortunately, the Holger 26 performs closely statistically and could take over as the new king of the battle royale. WhenModern Warfare 3’siteration ofWarzonelaunched, the DG-58 LSW was a solid but unforgettable LMG that got outclassed by other class options.
