In Warzone 2, TAQ-56 has been one of the most dominant assault rifles in the Ranked battlefields. It underwent several changes but is still a top rifle in the game. It was known as SCAR-L in previous Call of Duty titles. For its high damage, low recoil, and high mobility, it is one of the most versatile weapons to play with. This weapon can be used at both long and short ranges but can be overwhelmed in close combat against some SMGs.

Recommended Loadout:

  • Muzzle: Harbinger D20
  • Barrel: 17.5" Tundra Pro Barrel
  • Optic: Aim Op-v4
  • Underbarrel: FTAC Ripper 56
  • Magazine: 60 Round Mag

4) M13B

M13B is an underrated assault rifle in Warzone 2. It has an incredibly low recoil and is an easy gun to play with. It is a hyper-accurate assault rifle that you can use to shoot down enemies at any given range.

Most players use the M13B as a ranged option, but it still requires five body shots to knock down an enemy. If you are a very accurate shooter and have a high chance of getting a headshot, you might be better suited for the M13B in Ranked.

Recommended Loadout:

  • Muzzle: Sakin Tread-40
  • Laser: 1mW Quick Fire Laser
  • Optic: Cronen Mini Pro
  • Underbarrel: FSS Sharkfin 90
  • Rear Grip: D37 Grip

3) STB 556

The STB 556 is a great choice in Warzone 2 if you're looking for a mid-range weapon. It's not as overwhelming as the RPK, but with the right settings you get a weapon that handles well, has low recoil, and a fast TTK at medium range. However, the weapon is buffed, so now it really shreds.

Recommended Loadout:

  • Muzzle: Harbinger D20
  • Barrel: 508mm Rear Guard
  • Optic: Aim OP-V4
  • Ammunition: 5.56 High Velocity
  • Magazine: 42 Round Mag

2) ISO Hemlock

Recommended Loadout:

  • Muzzle: Komodo Heavy
  • Barrel: Fielder-T50
  • Optic: Aim OP-V4
  • Underbarrel: FTAC Ripper 56

A high-damage rifle, Kastov 762, can be a tricky weapon to wield due to its difficult recoil pattern, but learning how to harness its power is invaluable which makes it the top gun to go for in our list.

Recommended Loadout

  • Muzzle: ZLR Talon 5
  • Barrel: KAS-7 406mm
  • Optic: Aim Op-v4
