Best meta guns in Warzone

10. RAM-7

Activision

Despite receiving a massive nerf introduced in Season 3, the RAM-7 retains its spot among Warzone’s best guns. This Assault Rifle has highly competitive damage values and little to no recoil.

Other long-range options have been favored following the third seasonal update, but I still find this AR a worthwhile choice given its ease of use when using the right attachment combination.

9. SOA Subverter

The SOA Subverter is an excellent option for long-range combat in Warzone. This Battle Rifle boasts outstanding damage and little recoil allowing it to dominate mid to long-range fights.

When equipped with the right attachments, its range and damage can be considerably improved making it perfect for Rebirth Island and Urzikstan.

8. Holger 556

The Holger 556 is an extremely easy-to-use and comfortable Assault Rifle with low recoil and high damage output. I found this gun a perfect pick for mid to long-range fights on Urzikstan or Rebirth Island, going toe-to-toe with some of the best weapons in the game.

7. MTZ-556

A reliable Assault Rifle is always going to be a hot commodity across any of Warzone’s maps, and that stays true with the MTZ-556. This gun received a slight bullet velocity buff in the Season 3 update which boosts its already high fire rate, great damage, and range, making it a force to be reckoned with in Warzone.

6. XRK Stalker

The XRK Stalker was the second Sniper to be introduced as a one-shot killing gun in Warzone. When equipped with the right attachments you can almost double the maximum damage range over 70 meters to make it even more deadly.

Compared to its one-shot counterparts, this Sniper Rifle boasts great mobility and damage output and resembles the feel of the fan-favorite Kar98k from the first Warzone release.

5. MCW

Warzone veterans will recognize the MCW, as it has dominated multiplayer since MW3’s release and that also holds true in Warzone. While this popular AR doesn’t boast the best stats, I found it really easy to use with almost no recoil, competitive damage, and great range which allowed to eliminate opponents at long distances.

4. Lachmann Sub

After a noticeable buff to its damage and range in Season 3, the classic MP5, known as the Lachmann Sub in Warzone, managed to climb back up the best weapon rankings. This SMG has top tier damage, an incredibly fast fire rate, and amazing mobility.

While the HRM-9 still dominates the close-range meta, when using the right attachments, this gun is an equally outstanding pick for close-range fights.

3. MORS – Best Sniper Rifle in Warzone

Returning from SHG’s futuristic CoD Advanced Warfare, the MORS has managed to be the best and most popular Sniper to use in Warzone Season 3.

This gun is extremely easy to use, and has excellent damage values and range, allowing you to one-shot enemies from afar on the beloved Rebirth Island map. The thing I loved most about this Sniper is the Quick Bolt attachment, which let me kill opponents in quick succession.

2. SVA 545 – Best Assault Rifle in Warzone

Despite being one of the first Assault Rifles to be unlocked in Warzone, the SVA 545 is an outstanding pick to dominate the game’s mid to long ranges. This gun is remarkably user-friendly and boasts an impressive damage output, low recoil, and high fire rate.

1. HRM-9 – Best gun in Warzone

The HRM-9 claims the title of best Warzone gun thanks to its remarkable TTK up close in Season 3. This SMG boasts impressive fire rate, damage, and mobility, enabling you to swiftly overwhelm enemies in close-quarters combat.

That wraps up the top 10 weapons in Warzone, but feel free to experiment with some of the other guns on offer as you might find your favorite.
