S tier
This tier includes all the absolute meta weapons currently dominating the Call of Duty: Warzone scene with the best stats and attributes.
1) DTIR 30-06
The DTIR 30-06 is a powerful new battle rifle that quickly became a meta weapon in the game. It was nerfed within 24 hours of release, yet it still boasts impressive stats and power, making it a top choice for long-range engagements. Its minimal recoil and high stability make controlling distant targets much easier. As the weapon has a lower rate of fire, you can accurately keep your shots on target.
2) Holger 556
The Holger 556 assault rifle has always been a strong choice in the game, but with the recent buff in Season 6, where its damage range was increased from 41.91 meters to 50.8 meters, it has become even more reliable for long-range engagements.
Its low recoil and ease of use make it a stable and manageable option for both newcomers and seasoned players. Featuring a decent fire rate and an impressive time-to-kill (TTK) of 714 ms within 36 meters, the Holger 556 stands out as a versatile weapon in the current meta.
3) Pulemyot 762
The Pulemyot 762, once a meta-defining LMG, gradually lost its prominence over time. However, with the buffs introduced in Season 5 Reloaded, it has regained its status as a top-tier option. Notably, the weapon remained untouched in Season 6, retaining its controllable recoil, high damage, and large magazine size, perfect for engaging with multiple enemies simultaneously.
4) Static-HV
The Static-HV, an SMG introduced alongside the STG44 in Season 5, quickly became a lethal close-range weapon due to its devastating power, high fire rate, and impressive time-to-kill (TTK). The weapon was nerfed during the Season 5 Reloaded, which has slightly reduced its effectiveness, but it remains a solid choice and one of the best close-range weapons in the game. One of the Static-HV's key advantages is its default 50-round magazine, which reduces the need for frequent reloading in the heat of battle.
5) Kar98k
The Kar98k is categorized as a marksman rifle in Warzone but traditionally functions as a sniper across all Call of Duty titles. Despite receiving nerfs in previous major updates, and remaining untouched in Season 6, the weapon continues to be regarded as one of the best in the game, offering one-shot capability within 86 meters. With its fast ADS speed, the Kar98k is also well-suited for aggressive gameplay.

6) Superi 46
The Superi 46 SMG dominated close-range combat throughout Season 4, but subsequent nerfs were introduced to balance its performance. Despite these adjustments, the weapon remains a strong meta contender and is still regarded as one of the best SMGs in the game. The weapon offers excellent movement speed, along with decent damage, a high rate of fire, and a great TTK (time to kill), making it an ideal close-range option.
7) BAL-27
The BAL-27 assault rifle, introduced in Season 3 Reloaded, was initially considered a decent weapon. However, with the Season 5 and Season 5 Reloaded update, it has received significant buffs, making it to the top-tier meta options. This weapon features a fast firing rate and a time-to-kill (TTK) of 694 milliseconds within 31 meters, making it ideal for medium to long-range engagements.
8) MCW
The MCW is an assault rifle known for its reliability and ease of control. While the base version is decent and even received buff in Season 6 it doesn’t quite fall into the absolute meta category.
However, when equipped with the conversion kit, the weapon transforms into a formidable SMG, excelling in close-range combat. With the conversion kit, the MCW boasts an impressive 600 ms TTK rating within 20 meters, minimal recoil, and a high fire rate. This makes it one of the best sniper support weapons in the game.
9) FJX Horus
The FJX Horus was a reliable SMG that offered stiff competition to the Superi 46 during Season 4. However, Season 5 introduced a significant nerf, reducing its initial effectiveness. Despite this, the weapon remains competitive. While the nerf has affected its performance at longer distances, it still excels in close-range combat, boasting an impressive firing rate and a TTK of 610 ms within 10 meters..
10) Striker
The Striker is a top-tier SMG, excelling in close-range combat. After receiving a buff in Season 5 Reloaded and remaining unchanged in Season 6, it has become a reliable secondary weapon for aggressive players. Its fast fire rate and controllable recoil make it effective not only in close quarters but also in medium-range engagements, positioning it as an ideal sniper support weapon.
11) STG44
The STG44 was introduced in Season 5 and quickly became the best long-range weapon in the game because of its impressive bullet velocity, TTK rating, low recoil, and decent fire rate. However, its performance has been balanced through continuous nerfs in Season 5 Reloaded and Season 6. Despite these adjustments, it remains one of the top choices for long-range engagements, retaining all the essential attributes for distance battles.
