Cold War & Season 6 Best Weapons: S Tier List

S Tier is the current meta weapons for Warzone at this point. These weapons often have a distinct advantage that puts them over others.

Weapon & Tier Verdict
GrozaGroza Hailed by some as the Grau reincarnate, This season 1 AR has surprisingly little recoil with attachments and good handling that makes it competitive at long ranges.
FFAR 1FFAR 1 SMG damage, Assault rifle range - FFAR 1 is unique in its fast fire rate and low time to kill thats found in most SMGs but with the effective range of mid-range assault rifles. This let FFAR 1 outshoot many of its competition especially at ranges SMG can't hope to compete
MAC 10MAC 10Despite some headshot damage Nerfs, MAC 10 is still meta thanks to its very high firing rate that shred up close even against armored targets which also negates the effects of missed shots here and there. The recoil kicks only up and is manageable, so we still give it an S for close-quarters its designed to handle.
SPR 208SPR 208 SPR28 blows even MK2 & Kar98 out the water for its high damage profile, large mag size, high mobility, decent ADS speed, and guaranteed headshot kill even in Warzone against fully armored enemies. In the right hands, it can even outshoot sniper rifles
CR-56 AMAX (Galil)CR-56 AMAX The CR-56 AMAX finds great use in the wide spaces of Verdansk. With attachments, it can be modified to act as a capable all-range Assault Rifle that's accurate and hits hard with its higher damage per shot
Grau 5.56Grau 5.56 Despite recent nerf, Grau's recoil is still very easy to control thus is the prime choice for lasering down targets at range. It may take more shots due to the range nerf but Grau can still get the job done
M4A1M4A1 A stable & easy to acquire weapon, the M4A1 is a decent all-rounder that can handle all types of combat situations without losing out by a large margin
M13M13 Another accurate & easy to control Assault Rifle, the M13 has negligent recoil and fast fire rate, making it another prime choice for dealing with distant enemies
FALFAL FAL received a major buff during the recent Weapon Balance, giving it a great boost in close-range damage. Skilled players can dominate near & far with this weapon provided they has the shooting reflexes
RAM-7RAM-7 Ram 7 shoots fast, hits hard and is a good contestant for the best 5.56 assault rifle. As it has a distinct recoil pattern that pulls to the left, it needs some skills to use but will yield great rewards if mastered
MP5MP5 Despite recent nerfs, MP5 still excels in its role: Killing enemies fast up close. Its Time To Kill is still one of the fastest in the game, and still serves as a good CQB secondary gun to snipers or long-range weapon users
MP7MP7 MP7 is an easy to use SMG that shoots very fast and has a large default magazine size. It can dominate up close like the MP5 but is easier to handle, making it a solid secondary weapon for close quarters
AUGAUG AUG can kill targets at SMG distance very quickly, almost on par with the MP5. Its unique 5.56 ammo conversion also allows it to serve as a semi-assault rifle for longer range engagements, allowing for more flexibility in loadout setups
PKMPKM PKM has a large default magazine size and a very controllable recoil, able to dish out good & consistent damage across a long distance. It is balanced all around without gimmicky handling so is a good all-purpose LMG in Warzone

Season 6 Best Weapons: A Tier List

A Tier represents weapons that can be competitive in the Warzone meta but require additional planning and loadout building to cover its weaknesses. They can perform if the situation presents itself but may struggle if things go downhill.

Weapon & Tier Verdict
DMR 14DMR 14 Due to Nerfs, DMR 14 is no longer the all range melt-all kill-all weapon that it used to be. It can still perform decently in mid to close range encounters but would require more skills & practice to get used to the new increased recoil to consecutively land shots
Type 63Type 63 While The nerf did bring down some damage, Type 63's effectiveness is more or less unchanged. Type 63 was more designed towards mid to close range compared with DMR 14, and we find that its a bit lacking in stability when shooting at targets at extended range, thus the A Ranking. However, thanks to its high fire rate & higher damage per shot, it is still a formidable close to mid range multirole rifle
AS VALAS VAL While AS VAL's damage profile is good, its steep vertical recoil makes the AS VAL lose out when the target is at longer ranges. Its lower magazine capacity (Up to 30) also hinders squad engagements in Warzone. It can wreck up close but then there are more nimble SMGs for that
AN-94AN94The AN94's unique firing mode allows you to keep your shots on target due to the weapon's relatively low recoil. Harness the weapon's unique burst fire mode to reliably hit your targets
MK9 BruenMK9 Bruen MK9's fast fire rate & smooth handling makes it an ideal hybrid between an LMG and an Assault Rifle, but its performance has been affected by numerous nerfs to no longer be the top dog in Warzone. Use the 60 Round Mags to greatly increase handling & reload speed
Vector (Fennec)Vector (Fennec) Fennec is another fast-firing powerhouse that can shred up close. Its performance is however severely limited by its magazine capacity (up to 40) making it difficult to handle enemy squads that pops up together
HDR & AX-50 Despite recent Weapon Balance, sniping is still a difficult thing with all the laser-like assault rifles dominating the meta. If you want a low bullet drop-off rifle, choose the HDR. For faster ADS & recocking speed, use the AX-50.
>> HDR vs AX-50 Comparison
▲Back To Table Of Contents

Notable Mentions: ISO SMG - Not Recommended

ISO SMG

Despite being a reliable weapon, the ISO's stats pale in comparison against other SMGs in Warzone. We recommend avoiding this weapon for Warzone game modes. However, if you are confident in your skills and equip attachments to suit your playstyle, by all means.

Check Out the ISO SMG Here!

Notable Mentions: Rytec AMR - Not Recommended

Rytec AMR

We do not recommend the Rytec AMR for Warzone use right now due to its slow ADS speed and high recoil. Its explosive rounds sounds good on paper but is held back by the weapon's poor handling. You will have a better time sniping with HDR or AX-50 unless you're targeting vehicles.

4 New Guns That Can be Looted In The Field

After the 3/25 update, 4 new weapons can now be found in the loot of Warzone: 725, MK2 Carbine, .50 GS, and EBR-14. These weapons may be all you've got when you start out in Battle Royale, or make a fine swap option in Plunder.

Comes In Common Or Uncommon Rarity

These 4 guns can be found in both Common and Uncommon rarity, meaning that there will come with different attachments. However, not all attachments may suit your playstyle, so choose your weapons based on practicality, not solely on their rarity.

Details of these looted weapons can be found below!!!

MP7 (Looted)

MP7

MP7 is fairly abundant as loot in Warzone and has good handling, fast firing rate and a decent magazine size of 40. Its great versatility and fast speed makes it a powerful tool for most players to fight to their first loadout.

MK2 Carbine (Looted)

MK2 Carbine

Mk2 Carbine is a fine weapon to keep when looted in the field due to to its good damage, ease of control and decent performance at all ranges. That's why we even recommend it as a S tier weapon for Warzone.

Focus On Optics Attachment

When looting around for MK2 Carbine, try getting an optics attachment for it. An optic will greatly increase your effective range and open up new opportunities.

725 (Looted)

725

The 725 shotgun, while potent up close, is gimped by its 2-round magazine size that can be fatal in the team-fighting environment in Warzone. Even in solo modes, its inability to make fast follow up shots greatly increase the risk. Keep it for a while before swapping it out.

.50 GS (Looted)

.50 GS

A powerful long-range handgun, .50 GS's heavy recoil and slower firing speed is not optimal as a main weapon to keep around. While a decent upgrade to the starting X16, players should swap it out for a rifle ASAP or ignore it if one cannot handle its recoil.

EBR-14 (Looted)

EBR-14

A semi-auto Marksman Rifle, EBR-14 can be a good ranged weapon to have but it's hard-kicking recoil means that its not a weapon for everyone. Without decent attachments, it's hard first-shot recoil can make follow-up shots difficult.

Warzone Best Weapon & Gun Evaluation Criteria

The above weapons were selected based on the following criteria:

Versatility

The best weapons for Warzone should be able to let the player adapt to different situations, whether it be in long-range shootout, or tooth & nail CQB brawls. Weapon range is a major concern in the wide open Verdansk.

Warzone Map - Verdansk Sectors & Location

High Damage Or Fire Rate

With the new Body Armor mechanic, damage either by bullet damage or TTK (time to kill) is more crucial than ever. Weapons with high base damage or faster rate of fire will be considered a priority.

Accurate Or Low Recoil

Due to great distance of the Warzone maps, engagements range can vary greatly. Being able to hit targets consistently, especially armored targets are just as important as damage. So, guns with a high accuracy, or low recoil are considered.

Accessibility

How soon a weapon becomes available for Warzone players to use will be considered in the ranking. If a weapon takes too long of a grind to unlock, than it might take out the fun from Warzone.

Key Attachments Availability

While some weapons turn into beasts with the right attachment, how soon these attachments are unlocked are put into consideration when deciding ranks.
