Best meta guns in Warzone
10. Pulemyot 762
ActivisionThe Pulemyot is extremely comfortable and boasts an impressive rate of fire.
Despite being the previous best gun in the launch of Warzone’s third iteration, the Pulemyot 762 was hit with massive nerf which pushed it back out of the meta picks. However, this LMG has returned in Season 4 thanks to its sizable magazine, incredible damage, and ease of use.
While it’s still no way near the podium, it’s regaining its footing within the most popular choices for long-range in the game.
9. ISO Hemlock
ActivisionThe MW2 ISO Hemlock received a buff in Season 4.
Despite being a MW2 gun, the ISO Hemlock received a considerable damage buff with the Season 4 update. This Assault Rifle is extremely easy to use and boats great damage, allowing you to kill enemies from long ranges easily.
While it isn’t as competitive as the counterparts in the list, it still feels incredibly familiar making it a great pick in the game.
8. MTZ-556
ActivisionThe MTZ-556 is an easy-to-use Assault Rifle in Warzone.
The MTZ-556 claims a spot in the top 10 best guns in Warzone list. Despite not being the most popular pick, this Assault Rifle has highly competitive damage values and little to no recoil. I find this gun a worthwhile choice given its ease of use when using the right attachment combination.
7. MORS – Best Sniper Rifle in Warzone
ActivisionThe MORS Sniper Rifle was previously featured in SHG’s Advanced Warfare.
After the return of the Kar98k, the MORS was kicked to the second-best long-range Rifle spot. This futuristic CoD Advanced Warfare Sniper has excellent damage values and range. The thing I love most about this gun is the Quick Bolt attachment, which lets me kill opponents in quick succession.
6. Holger 26
ActivisionThe Holger 26 is the LMG version of the Holger 556.
A reliable long-range weapon is always a hot commodity across any of Warzone’s maps, and that stays true with the Holger 26. Featuring a slight buff to its headshot multiplier, this LMG has great damage range and competitive fire rate, making it a force to be reckoned with in Warzone.
5. FJX Horus
ActivisionMight seem little but the FJX Horus is extremely powerful in Warzone Season 4.
The FJX Horus is an outstanding SMG in Warzone, boasting a ton of mobility, which excels across small maps like Rebirth Island or Fortune’s Keep. When equipped with the right attachments, this SMG has great damage output and fire rate perfect to dominate close-range distances.
4. Kar98k – Best Marksman Rifle in Warzone
ActivisionThe Kar98k was the most popular rifle in Warzone’s original iteration.
Warzone veterans will recognize the Kar98k, as it has dominated the battle royale since its original iteration, and that remains true in Season 4. Returning as a Marksman Rifle with one-shot capabilities, this fan-favorite gun has amazing movement and damage allowing it to eliminate opponents at long distances.
Just like its original version, the Kar98k is extremely easy to use, allowing you to one-shot enemies from afar on the beloved Rebirth Island map.
3. SVA 545 – Best Assault Rifle in Warzone
ActivisionThe SVA 545 is the most popular AR in Season 4.
Despite being one of the first Assault Rifles to be unlocked in Warzone, the SVA 545 remains 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.
2. DG-58 LSW – Best LMG in Warzone
ActivisionThe DG-58 LSW is the most popular long-range pick in Warzone Season 4.
The DG-58 LSW is the best Warzone gun thanks to its outstanding stats for long-range combat as well as excellent mobility. This LMG is the perfect pick boasting outstanding damage, range, and little recoil.
When equipped with the right attachments, its range and damage can be considerably improved making it perfect for both Rebirth Island and Urzikstan.
1. Superi 46 – Best gun in Warzone
ActivisionThe new Season 4 Superi 46 SMG claims a spot in the Warzone meta in its debut season.
Despite being added with the Season 4 update, the new Superi 46 has taken over the close-range meta becoming the best gun in Warzone. This SMG can be unlocked for free through the Battle Pass and has top-tier damage, a blistering fire rate, and amazing mobility.
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. Be sure to check out the best controller and PC settings to maximize the potential of these weapons in the game.
