Best Warzone guns - the top weapons for the current meta

We’ve curated a list of the best Warzone guns to ensure you are as prepared as you can be with the strongest, most meta weapons available.

What are the best guns in Warzone? Warzone has evolved several times over the past few years, swapping out the maps, weapons, and gameplay mechanics depending on the latest Call of Duty release. Now, with the Resurgence mode exploding in popularity, and new weapon additions from Black Ops 6, it pays to know what weapons to use.

Long-time fans know just how intense the battle royale game can get, and those who want the biggest advantage in the field need to know which are the meta weapons, and which should be left well alone. Since the release of Black Ops 6, new weapons have unsurprisingly dominated the scene, so find out what you swapping out from your best Warzone loadouts with our pick of the best weapons in Warzone right now.

Best Call of Duty Warzone guns

 

The best Warzone guns right now are:

Best Warzone loadouts: a black assault rifle with an orangne logo in the top right corner.

XM4

The first assault rifle you unlock in Black Ops 6 is perhaps the ideal companion to take into Warzone. Excellent fire rate, great damage, and supreme long-range capabilities make the XM4 the best thing to be at your side, especially in Resurgence. We have the best XM4 loadout here so you can get the most from the deadly assault rifle.
Best Warzone loadouts: a compact submachine gun with a pink, flesh-like paint job.

Jackal PDW

The Jackal PDW is an extremely reliable close-range SMG that can serve either as an aggressive primary weapon or the perfect accompaniment to something with long-range capabilities. We have the best Jackal PDW loadout here to set you up for greatness.
 

Best Warzone guns: a large sniper rifle with bipod and suppressor attachment.

KATT-AMR

By far the best long-range option in Warzone, the KATT-AMR has exceptional bullet velocity and damage, making distance targets easy to hit, with two shots being enough to secure a down. Utilize our best Warzone KATT AMR loadout to get the most out of this sniper rifle.

The KAR98K bolt-action sniper rifle on a black background, coming back to CoD in MW3 and Warzone season 4.

KAR98k

If you prefer sniping with something a little less clunky, then the MW3 KAR98k is still going strong as the best Marksman rifle for sniping at long-distances. Set yourself up with the best KAR98k loadout for domination from afar.

Best Warzone guns: The PP-919 Warzone SMG displayed on a dark background.

 

PP-919

If you’re looking for an alternative SMG to the Jackal, the PP-919 has really made a name for itself. With higher range and ammo capacity than the usual SMG, you want to use the best PP 919 Warzone loadout to improve damage and speed, then you’ve got a little beast on your hands.

Best Warzone guns: The GPR- 91 Warzone assault rifle displayed on a dark background.

 

GPR 91

This may come as a surprise to players of both BO6 and Warzone, as the GPR 91 isn’t a firm fave in the mainline multiplayer game. That said, introduce this assault rifle to Warzone gameplay and it’s a whole other story. Equip the best GPR 91 Warzone loadout below for a powerful and immensely accurate mid-long range primary weapon.

For the best GPR-91 Warzone loadout, equip:

  • Optic: Jason Armory 2x
  • Muzzle: Ported Compensator
  • Barrel: Reinforced Barrel
  • Underbarrel: Vertical Foregrip
  • Magazine: Extended Mag I

Best Warzone guns: a bullpup style assault rifle on a black background.

BP50

Alongside the KAR98k, we’ve left the little old BP50 in here, too. This build, though, makes the assault rifle a remarkable short-range weapon, and only if you have the JAK Revenger Conversion Kit unlocked.

Holding its own against the best BO6 weapons, the best BP50 short-range build requires:

  • Conversion Kit: JAK Revenger Kit
  • Muzzle: VLK Koloss Flash Hider
  • Rear Grip: TRST-IV Grip Tape
  • Ammunition: 9MM High Grain Rounds
  • Laser: Kimura RYL33 Laser Light

While BO6 dominates the best Warzone guns in the current meta, who knows? Once the novelty wears off, we might see the return of some old faithfuls. We’ll keep an eye on what everyone’s playing in the free PC game and let you know either way. In the meantime, check out what’s coming with the next Warzone season content drop.
