The S-ranked COD Warzone 2.0 weapons tier list entails absolute beast guns in the current meta. Pick any weapon of any type from this list, and you will get kills easily. 

Kastov 762

The Kastov-762 has at long last made its way into the meta group of powerful and overpowered firearms. Because of its enormous firepower and the steadiness with which it can be used, it is one of the most lethal weapons in the game.

It is becoming more common for players to carry the Kastov-762, which contributes to the general consensus that it is a well-rounded firearm. This indicates that despite the fact that the weapon has a lot of potential benefits, there are still some potential downsides to the gun.

Kastov-74u

The Kastov-74U delivers a tremendous amount of punch and, based on the attachments, may be employed for fighting at medium to close ranges. It is a work of art in the form of a weapon, and its masterful handling and precision allow you to kill enemies without wasting much time.

Making the perfect Kastov-74U loadout may be done in a wide variety of different methods. You have the option of using this AR predominantly as either a CQC, a medium-range weapon, or a long-range weapon. That only goes to show how adaptable this weapon really is.

M4

It only takes roughly four to six shots fired from an M4 to do significant damage to an opponent. This demonstrates the whole extent of the weapon’s power. It is used as an automatic weapon the vast majority of the time; however, shooting a single shot from it is also an alternative.

The rate of fast fire is superior to that of the majority of firearms, which is why it is so easy for it to find its way into the list because many other attachments may be unlocked in conjunction with the weapon; picking a decision can be a little bit challenging.

Lachmann Sub

When compared to the FSS Hurricane, the Lachmann Sub is superior in a variety of respects. It has increased Speed, improved handling over Recoil, increased Damage, and increased Fire Rate. The FSS Hurricane does, in fact, have superior range and accuracy compared to what the Lachmann is able to provide.

However, this is not an issue that cannot be remedied by adding a few attachments. Now, the mobility of a gun will decrease according to the number of attachments that are attached to it. However, the Lachmann Sub already has greater Mobility and Handling than other subs, so even if you add a few more attachments, you’ll still have more of those characteristics.

FSS Hurricane

The FFS Hurricane has one of the greatest ranges available in the game. If you mount a few accessories to your weapon, you won’t even require an AR to compete online. The enormous magazine of FSS Hurricane makes it the ideal weapon for keeping pressure on one’s opponents for a sufficient amount of time to force them to surrender.

The capacity to battle at close to the medium range has a considerably greater fire rate than fighting at longer ranges. Speed and control are also above normal, and the most crucial characteristic, recoil control, is excellent. All of these factors come together to create the FSS Hurricane, the ideal SMG for use in Warzone 2.0.

BAS-P

The BAS-P has excellent recoil control, and you won’t have to worry as much about maintaining your aim while using it. Additionally, the weapon has a very high degree of precision. In addition, it gets excellent ratings for both handling and mobility, which is helpful when it comes to aiming down the sight.

The BAS-P is deserving of its position as a top-tier SMG in Warzone 2.0 due to its high Fire-Rate, which is one of the highest among all SMGs. However, it is not the only benefit of possessing the gun; in comparison to other submachine guns, it has a larger damage output.

ISO 45 is straight-up an S-tier gun on the Warzone 2.0 Weapons Tier List. For a good amount of time now the ISO 45 has been dominating the meta in Warzone 2.0. It has everything a player needs from an SMG. With ISO 45 you can easily maneuver around the map, exploit the extremely fast ADS time, and dominate your enemies whenever you’re close to them.

Signal 50

The Signal 50 is one of the early-game weapons that are available to players in Warzone 2.0. It is possible to make Signal 50 too powerful if you choose the appropriate loadout and class combination. The sniper rifle in question has the quickest firing rate and the least amount of recoil, making it the sniper with the quickest time-to-kill (TTK).

The Signal 50 is likely to be the new standard for how snipers are played for some time. Due to the fact that it has the highest rate of fire, it will be able to eliminate foes before they have a chance to react and find shelter. The damage is rather acceptable, and the recoil is manageable.

Victus XMR

If you’re to equip yourself with the longest-range sniper rifle available in the game, then get the Victus XMR. It is highly powerful and with a bullet velocity that is fairly high. Because it has one of the lowest bullet drop rates, it can shoot accurately at a considerable distance. The movement speed is excellent but not the greatest, and it is fairly good for the damage it causes.

The Victus XMR is a perfect example of a weapon that fulfills the requirements for long-range combat, which snipers are designed to do. Because of the high bullet velocity, you may simply aim and fire regardless of the distance between you and your target. You still retain quite a bit of your agility and can maneuver pretty well in close quarters.

RAAL MG

We have a great deal of regard for the Raal MG due to the fact that its damage profile is superior to that of any LMG.  You can easily snap targets and accomplish a few rapid kills if you have fine precision, and you won’t have to sacrifice shot accuracy or control in the process.

Because of the nature of this weapon, it is quite likely that it will result in several deaths. This LMG will unquestionably be a formidable adversary, despite the fact that certain players could have difficulties getting used to the rather slow rate of fire.

SP-R 208

The SPR-208 is the most suitable Marksman weapon for the task in Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0 due to its high level of both basic precision and damage management. This weapon, which serves as an option to the Lockwood Mk2, is the one that, in terms of its functionality, comes the most to a sniper rifle. It has an emphasis on long-range warfare and can provide fair damage.

Unfortunately, it still has the disadvantage of having the slowest firing rate of any Marksman Rifle, which is a significant downside. Nevertheless, by adding a few attachments, that problem may quickly and simply be resolved.

The Lockwood Mk2 is in a league of its own when compared to other Marksman Rifles in terms of its effectiveness at long range. This marksman rifle is one of the most versatile firearms available, making it an excellent choice for novice shooters. You may use it as a short-range weapon with incredible power, or you fast fire rate long-range gun.

Battle Rifles may not be the most popular weapon type in Warzone 2.0 but the Cronen Squall has broken the bar and cemented its place as the current meta in Season 6. The Battle Rifle has also been included in the Nicki Minaj Operator Bundle, which is being used by some of the best COD Warzone 2 Streamers.

The Battle Rifles mostly work as ARs however they have a slower fire rate. Although, fret not, because with a slower fire rate, the damage is far superior. It can decimate opponents within seconds if you do not miss your shots.

The A-ranking COD Warzone 2.0 weapons tier list mentions guns that are second to none. These ARs, SMGs, Shotguns, Snipers Rifles, and Battle Rifles are not as good as S-tier ones, but still, they will get the job done. 

Lachmann-556

The Lachmann-556, a meta-weapon that was featured in Modern Warfare 2, is available in Warzone 2.0 as well. It has exactly the same effect as when you play the game with other people. Because of its enormous accuracy and very fast time to kill, it is, without a doubt, one of the best weapons in the game.

Because of STB-556’s high firing rate, it is possibly the fastest time-to-kill (TTK) that you can deploy with. You absolutely have to test out the weapon, regardless of whether you discover it as loot on the ground or if you take it in your loadout. It is possible to kill an adversary in a single second with a chest shot with this weapon, and it possesses this power.

ISO Hemlock

ISO Hemlock is an Assault Rifle that was introduced in Season 2 of Warzone 2.0. This gun is a great long-range and hard-hitting AR that can help take down a whole squad with precise shots. You can unlock Hemlock in two ways, either from the battle pass or by extracting with Hemlock in DMZ.

If ISO Hemlock is used properly, it is very good. In the right hands, it can be a decimator, an annihilator of opponents. The gun can kill opponents at long range without breaking a sweat. ISO Hemlock is known for underperforming at close ranges, mainly due to its slower fire rate.

Fennec 45

The Fennec 45 is, without a doubt, the best submachine gun for close-range fighting. It boasts the fastest rate of fire of any submachine gun. During the course of our testing of the weapon, the rate of fire was so high that we used up the whole magazine before we even realized it. Unfortunately, when there is more distance between you and the enemy operator, Fennec 45 becomes less useful.

The Fennec 45 has a Recoil Control that is considerably lower, and its Accuracy is much worse. It is doubtful if you should use it for more than 30 meters.

Personally, I enjoy a lot while using the Fennec 45. However, due to its quick fire rate, the mag runs out pretty fast which can be a problem in squad modes. This is why the Fennec comes as far as the A-tier in the Warzone 2.0 Weapons Tier List.

PDSW 528

Best <a class=

Even when used at close range, the PDSW 528 is a robust firearm. If you know how to use it properly, the 50-round magazine is capable of performing miracles. It is strongly recommended that you use it with a long-range weapon, either a Marksman Rifle or a Battle Rifle.

The PDSW 528 is likely one of the choices that are the safest when it comes to SMGs. It features a huge magazine that can contain up to fifty rounds of ammunition.

But you can’t let it distract you from the fact that it’s not the finest submachine gun in the game.

The Vaznev 9K, like every other SMG option available in COD Warzone 2.0, has a terrible range. Although the range is considerably superior to that of other submachine guns, it won’t offer enough to the table if the target is farther than fifty meters away.

When it comes to doing damage at close range, the Vaznev 9K is widely regarded as the single greatest submachine gun (SMG) available. You might anticipate it to inflict heavy damage due to the fact that it is a Modern adaptation of the AK platform, which it originally did.

However, the SP-X 80 is the superior choice because of its higher velocity and damage output. The SP-X 80 is a much better sniper rifle overall and will assist you in achieving a higher kill count as a result of its strengths and weaknesses.

The bullet’s velocity is no laughing matter, which contributes to the weapon’s impressive effectiveness at long range. Because of its relatively high mobility for a sniper, this weapon is an excellent choice for covert playstyle.

The 556 Icarus is a solid weapon in any situation. You can always trust it. The combination of its lighter body and faster fire rate results in a recoil that is somewhat more noticeable. However, this may be remedied with the addition of attachments. After some slight changes, the 556 Icarus provides all that one might expect in a light machine gun.

It is almost indistinguishable from HCR 56. On the other hand, it is superior to it in a few important respects. One advantage is that it has the shortest hipfire bullet spread of any light machine gun, making it an excellent choice for use at short ranges.

HCR 56 

Because Time-To-Kill significantly decreases with increasing distance, the HCR 56 is most effective when used in close quarters. The fact that it is one of the lightest light machine guns, that it has a rapid ADS speed, and that it has the quickest reload time of the group gives the impression that it is about to go off when fighting in close quarters.

This is without a question one of the strongest marksman rifles in Warzone 2.0 for CQC, despite the fact that it has a somewhat slower shooting rate than some of the others.

FR Avancer

The FR Avancer is an Assault Rifle in Warzone 2.0. Unfortunately, it does not challenge the meta. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a decent AR but it’s unable to compete with the big boys. Hence, it’s best to keep it as a secondary option rather than your go-to weapon.

FR Avancer lacks range, therefore, it’s only usable in close or mid-range. If you’re planning to play on large maps like the Al Mazrah, then it would be best to go for a Sniper as your secondary weapon. Keeping its range in mind, the FR Avancer truly shines in smaller Resurgence maps in Warzone 2.0.

  • Underbarrel: FTAC Ripper 56
  • Ammunition: 5.56 High Velocity

Chimera

Inspired by the Honey Badger weapon in Call of Duty Ghosts, the Chimera was added recently into COD Warzone 2.0. Despite being an Assault Rifle, most people use the Chimera like an SMG. The Chimera is most prominently used in the Vondel Park map alongside a Sniper. So why do people use it as an SMG?

Well, mainly because the Chimera has one of the fastest TTK in Warzone 2.0. Not only that, with the right attachments you can also greatly enhance the mobility while carrying this gun.

  • Muzzle: TY-LR8
  • Laser: VLK LZR 7mW
  • Optic: Slimline Pro
  • Magazine: 45 Round
  • Barrel: 10″ SA Pheonix
  • Secondary Weapon: Any Sniper
  • Tactical: Smoke 
  • Lethal: Throwing Knife

MX Guardian

MX Guardian may not be the hardest-hitting Shotgun in Warzone 2.0 but it’s still worth trying out, especially in squad modes because of its increased mag size. The MX Guardian was added in Season 4 Reloaded and is categorized as a fully automatic shotgun. It is a quick mobile weapon and is not as unforgiving as the other WZ 2.0 Shotguns.

Depending on the attachments on the MX Guardian Loadout players can go for all three different firing modes:

  • Full Auto
  • Semi-Auto
  • Burst Fire

I think the MX Guardian is one of the easy-to-use shotguns in the game, hence the B-tier rating on this Warzone 2.0 Weapons Tier List. If you’re someone who likes to get into the faces of enemies or someone who’s just missing the KV Broadside meta, then you should surely use the following MX Guardian loadout in Warzone 2.0:

  • Muzzle: SA Schweigen DX
  • Laser: Point-G3P 04
  • Stock: MX DCP-0
  • Underbarrel: VX Pineapple
  • Barrel: HYP-LM
  • Secondary Weapon: Tempus Razorback
  • Tactical: Smoke 
  • Lethal: Throwing Knife

Next up on the Warzone 2.0 Tier list we have the FJX Imperium Sniper Rifle. Since its release, the sniper has received mixed reviews. The Bolt-action sniper rifle has been claimed as one of the best long-range weapons by some. Whereas, many people claimed it to be average. Either way, the FJX Imperium is worth trying out if you haven’t yet.

With the right attachments, you can even take down a fully armored enemy, however, you will need to land a headshot of course. Here are all the attachments you should apply on the FJX Imperium in WZ 2.0:

  • Ammunition: .408 Explosive
  • Laser: VLK LZR 7mW
  • Barrel: Tac-Command 19″
  • Muzzle: Nilsound 90
  • Stock: FJX Kilo-Tac
  • Secondary Weapon: Any SMG/AR
  • Tactical: Smoke 
  • Lethal: Semtex

C-Tier

If you want to stay away from guns that are underwhelming in the current meta, then take a good look at our C-ranked COD Warzone 2.0 weapons tier list. 

Kastov 545

Because of its high and perhaps unmatched firing rate, the Kastov-545 is able to make adversaries armed with LMGs ineffective. The primary emphasis is placed on the bullet’s speed as well as the range of damage it may inflict.

You are able to attack opponents at greater ranges with relative ease and not have to worry too much about the recoil. Through the use of this weapon, you may quickly fire up and smash up the trios. Due to the novelty of the weapon, getting the feel of it will need some practice on your part.

TAQ-56

The TAQ-56, formerly known as the SCAR, is a gun that has an insanely impressive range and may be familiar to you. It is possible that one may even use it as a weapon with a large range. That is an indication of the gun’s level of power.

It offers remarkable precision when firing, which makes it much simpler to eliminate targets that are approaching you fully. In Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0, the weapon boasts one of the highest damage ratings available for an assault rifle.

MX9 

MX9 Class Setup And Loadout

The MX9 is a solid submachine gun that may be used throughout the game. Both the weapon’s damage output and its rate of fire are impressive. It’s not quite as excellent as the standard AUG, which this one is based on. That failure may be attributed, in large part, to the limited range of the MX9, which is the primary factor.

It is not intended to be used to eliminate opponents at a great distance. Therefore, you will have to depend on different types of weaponry to eliminate the rivals.

  • Barrel: 16.5” STB Factory

TAQ-V

As the TAQ-V battle weapon, the SCAR-H combat rifle from Modern Warfare 2 makes its appearance in Warzone 2 for the first time. When your Tactique Verte Platform in Warzone 2 reaches level 11, you will be able to acquire this weapon, which is part of this platform.

The fact that the TAQ-V’s recoil can be adjusted and that it has a moderate firing rate makes it an ideal weapon for engaging enemies at controlled medium- to long-range distances.

SO-14

The SO-14 is a semi-automatic and fully-automatic firing mode switchable Battle Rifle available in Call of Duty: Warzone 2 Season 6 that is a good option for those players who like rapidly switching between different fire modes.

When thinking about a loadout for the SO-14 Battle Rifle for Warzone 2 Season 6, the most important thing to focus on is finding a way to mitigate the weapon’s significant recoil. As a result, the Perk Package for Weapon Specialists, which comes standard with Overkill, ought to be the option of choice.

  • Optic: VLK 4.0 Optic
  • Barrel: 22″ Boremaster Barrel

EBR-14

Best <a class=

The EBR 14 is a semi-automatic battle rifle that comes with a satisfactory rate of fire.  Reasonable time-to-kill (TTK) may be achieved with this weapon by using only two to three shots to defeat opponents.

The EBR-14 is one of the guns that are accessible from the get-go, and it may be obtained as soon as the game begins. If players want to get their hands on this weapon’s best attachments, they will need to level up EBR-14, which will take some time.

Next up on the Warzone 2.0 Weapons Tier list, we have yet another Sniper Rifle known as Carrack .300. The veteran COD players will remember this gun as it is quite similar to the classic WA2000. However, apart from the nostalgic element, the Carrack .300 is an average Sniper Rifle in my opinion. Players can use loads of other Snipers which are better, even the FJX Imperium.

  • Ammunition: .300 High Velocity
  • Laser: VLK LZR 7mW
  • Barrel: Heavy-Tac 300
  • Muzzle: Bruen Agent 90
  • Magazine: 10 Round Magazine
  • Secondary Weapon: Any SMG/AR
  • Tactical: Smoke 
  • Lethal: Semtex
