Warzone weapon tier list: All weapons ranked best to worst

Warzone currently features a total of 157 weapons which are divided into multiple categories. They are Assault Rifles, Battle Rifles, SMGs, Marksman Rifles, LMGs, Shotguns, Sniper Rifle, Handguns, Launchers, and Specials. All of these weapons have their distinct purpose and excel at different tasks. For instance, an SMG can be extremely lethal at close ranges but suffers at longer ranges. Similarly, a Sniper Rifle is the ideal pick for long-range encounters but struggles at close-range fights.

Do note that for this article, we are not considering Melee Weapons in the game.

S-Tier

S Tier

The S Tier includes all the weapons currently dominating the Warzone meta with the best stats and attributes, and needless to say, the best pick rates.

1) XM4

The XM4 is one of the earliest available weapons in the game. Despite being one of the earliest unlocks, it's one of the best weapons in the shooter. It has low recoil, is easy to use at range, and provides the perfect balance of mobility and handling. The XM4 Assault Rifle is so good currently that even without any attachments, one can take the weapon into a fight and come out on top without breaking a sweat.

2) Jackal PDW

The Jackal PDW has maintained its reign in the game ever since Black Ops 6 Beta dropped. Despite getting nerfed over several updates, it is still meta-tier. The SMG is extremely versatile and capable of handling fights in any scenario. The gun even fares quite well in mid-range gunfights. Right out of the bat, the Jackal PDW has a lot going for it. For instance, the mobility and handling stats on the weapon make it ideal for aggressive plays despite having a lower fire rate.

3) GPR 91

One of the best aspects of the GPR 91 is how easy it is to handle. Despite being an Assault Rifle, it does not lag behind, and boasts superb mobility and handling stats. On top of that, the recoil isn't that high on the weapon, which makes it a lot easier to use for mid-range as well as close-range combat.

4) Kompakt 92

Kompakt 92 has the fastest TTK in its class and this alone puts it in the meta tier. With a fire rate of 1091 RPM, it can take out an enemy at up to 10 meters in just 605 ms. Moreover, even if you use it without any attachments, the recoil is quite manageable, especially on mouse and keyboard, making it one of the best if not the best gun in the entire game.

5) XMG

The XMG is the LMG counterpart for the XM4. It has extremely low recoil, which is one of the main highlights of this weapon. On top of that, the LMG has an effective damage range of 45 meters, making it one of the best weapons in the title for mid-range and long-range engagements. Although the weapon has a slow rate of fire, it makes up for it by dealing 32 damage per bullet, which essentially gets us a time-to-kill of 775 ms, which is quite fast for an LMG.

6) PP-919

The PP-919 is a low recoil SMG, that can take on multiple targets with ease. One of the main highlights of this weapon is its large magazine size, which stands at 64 bullets per mag. This allows players to easily fight multiple enemies without having to reload. If you're looking for a weapon to clear small spaces such as a room or a building, PP-919 is your best bet for doing so. However, the weapon has one issue and that is its slow rate of fire. But this can be easily corrected by using the Rapid Fire Mod.

7) KATT-AMR

The KATT-AMR is a Sniper Rifle featured in Modern Warfare 3 (2023). Despite it being a weapon from MW3, it has successfully secured itself a spot in the meta tier list in Warzone. It is capable of taking out enemies with just one shot. It shoots .50 caliber rounds, which are extremely devastating. With an effective damage range of 78 meters, it deals a whopping 180 damage, which is sufficient to break shields and if it hits the head, then it's a direct knockout.

8) LR 7.62

If you're looking for something a little mobile and with better handling stats in the Sniper Rifle category, look no further than the LR 7.62. It can deal a whopping 150 damage at ranges up to 69 meters. It also has great stability stats right out of the bat, which makes it extremely accurate at long ranges. Needless to say, it belongs to the meta-tier weapons in Warzone.
