The next entry in the CoD franchise is almost here which means a whole new batch of weapons will be added to Warzone. Here’s how JGOD ranks every weapon in Warzone pre-Vanguard integration.

When a new game integrates with Warzone, there’s always a huge shift in the meta. Some OP weapons become completely unviable, and the new weapons can wreak havoc.

With the arrival of Call of Duty: Vanguard looming on the horizon, players are anxious to see how the integration will affect the current weapons. Will Raven overcompensate the Vanguard weapons? Or will the new weapons fall to the bottom of every tier list?

Regardless, there’s still time before the integration takes place. And JGOD, an expert at weapon analysis, breaks down every weapon in Warzone before the Vanguard integration.

JGOD’s explain best meta weapons in Warzone

Vanguard releases on November 5th, but we don’t know when the WW2 weapons will be brought to Warzone. We only know that it will be sometime this year.

Until then, we can continue to play with the Cold War and Modern Warfare weapons we’ve come to know and love. And here is what JGOD has to say about the current meta weapons.

Best Rifles in Warzone

In one of his latest videos, JGOD goes through each weapon currently in Warzone and labels them from meta to unusable. Here are the Assault Rifles he thinks are meta.

Best Melee and Launchers in Warzone

You may not choose these for your custom loadout, but they are in JGODs Warzone meta. Here are the best Melee weapons and launchers in Warzone.

You may have noticed that there weren’t any Shotgun or Tactical Rifles on JGOD’s list, and that’s because none of them are in the current meta. This could change when Warzone integrates with Vanguard, or when we move to the Pacific Map.

It’s also important to note that these weapons may not stay in the meta for long. The Warzone/Vanguard integration has the potential to obliterate this tier list. If that’s the case, keep your eyes on our Best Weapons in Warzone tier list.
