There are many factors to consider when it comes to picking the best guns, such as accuracy, fire rate, time-to-kill, and overall damage. Other things like aim down sight speed and recoil also come into play. We also took into consideration the gun choices of professional Warzone players and streamers.

Many people agree, for the most part, when it comes to the best Warzone guns. Personal preference may make you disagree, though. Everyone’s version of what’s best will be different due to the customization options. All things considered, here’s our list.

Best Warzone Guns

The best Warzone guns are:

  • Grau 5.56
  • MP5
  • Fennec (Vector)
  • M4A1
  • Kilo 141
  • CR-56 AMAX
  • MP7
  • M13
  • RAM-7
  • AX-50

Grau 5.56

It may be no surprise to you that the Grau 5.56 is at the top of our best Warzone guns list. This assault rifle excels in all categories and has no downfalls. We anticipate this weapon will eventually get a nerf, but it’s at the top of our list until then. The recoil is non-existent, especially with the best Grau loadout

The ease of use makes it a great beginner weapon as well. No other AR can contest SMGs up close, let alone out damage every other weapon at mid-range. One downside is that it may take a while for new players to unlock, but it’s easy enough with the new Rumble mode.

MP5

Here’s a secondary weapon you will want to use in your set up if you’re going for a high kill game. The MP5 edges out the Fennec and other SMGs in all areas. It has the second-highest damage out of all guns in its class, and the best time to kill. There’s little to no recoil, and the iron sight is acceptable to use without scopes.

With the best MP5 warzone loadout, mastering this weapon will make you the king of close-range battles. If you get tired of running this, you will want to check out the next one we have on our list.

Fennec (Vector)

One newcomer everyone is glad to see is the Fennec, or what should be known as the Vector. There are not many downsides of the Vector, and in close-quarters combat, it beats out all other weapons except maybe the MP5. What makes it one of the best Warzone guns is the fantastic fire rate at 1100 rounds per minute. 

The Fennec is a master at close range and becomes a lot less effective at anything other than that. For that reason, it’s a superior secondary for those in-your-face type scenarios. Couple this with a good AR or sniper and the proper attachments, and you will have a killer Fennec warzone loadout. One thing to consider is the small magazines, but it should not matter too much with the right setup.

M4A1

One AR that has consistently been on the top of everyone’s list is the M4A1. But speaking of consistency, it’s not all there with this one. As Warzone evolves and players get better, the weapons you can always count on will reign supreme. It deals as much damage as the Grau and a quick time-to-kill. Not only that, but the rate of fire is 800 per minute, which makes it a popular choice. The main drawback is the extra recoil and hard to use iron sights. The bottom line is that with the best M4A1 Warzone loadout, you can still win a ton of games.

Kilo 141

The Kilo 141 has gained a lot of popularity and is quickly becoming one of the best season 4 warzone loadouts. It’s nearly as good of a gun as the Grau with a similar damage profile. There is little to no recoil, and the time-to-kill is very fast. A quick aim down sight speed is also a good selling point. Not many players used this gun in Season 3, but it’s proven to be a contender.

At this point, we would not rank it as one of the top 3 best Warzone guns. But if the Grau gets a nerf sometime in the near future, our list might change.

CR-56 AMAX

The CR-56 AMAX is a new assault rifle since the beginning of Season 4. In terms of ARs, it has one of the highest damage shots in the game due to the 7.62 ammo. Landing your shots with the CR-56 will drop any enemy in sight. A slow rate of fire, long reload time, and higher than average recoil make this gun a less popular choice than a couple of other ARs, but it’s still solid and fun to use. Overall, using the best CR-56 AMAX Warzone loadout can secure your some easy victories.

MP7

Next is the lowest SMG on the list, and it’s one that is not as popular as it was in Season 3. The MP7 an excellent all-around weapon, but not as good as its counterparts like the MP5 or Fennec. Overall, it’s a good starter weapon because the recoil is good, and the standard iron sight is useable. 

The fire rate is high, beaten only by the Fennec. If you find one of these in the early stages of a Waronze match, consider yourself lucky. It’s also a proper weapon choice for a beginner. But at the end of the day, this is not our first choice to throw in our best Warzone loadout

Best guns Warzone - MP7 Loadout

M13

Here’s an assault rifle with a lot of promise but a lot to be desired in the damage department. The M13 has a fast rate of fire with over 900 rounds per minute. Time-to-kill is quick if you consistently hit headshots, but the max damage is not as good as other ARs. Expect to use 11 bullets to down someone with all chest shots. With the right loadout, this thing can shred, but you’re going to need some impeccable aim.

RAM-7

Looking at pure stats, the RAM-7 should be one of the best assault rifles in Warzone. It boasts the same damage as the Grau and M4A1 and has the highest DPS out of every weapon. What holds this weapon back is the high recoil. Battling the recoil takes a bit of getting used to, as it aggressively kicks up and to the left.

AX-50

There’s an ongoing battle over which sniper rifle is better: the HDR or the AX-50. If you’re a consistent sniper and can always hit those tough shots, the AX-50 is the best choice. It does have bullet drop, and it’s more challenging to use, but it’s much more rewarding if you can master it. The decision here comes down to the rate of fire between the two. With the AX-50, you can output more damage because it’s quicker to shoot. Taking out full squads becomes easy when there’s less time to wait between each shot.
