The MCW boasts outstanding recoil control.

Veteran players will recognize the MCW because it is MW3’s version of the legendary ACR. Like its original version, this AR has very low recoil and competitive damage. If you are looking for an easy-to-use weapon to dominate medium and long distances, you should definitely give the MCW a try.

The BP50 has managed to secure a place on the best Assault Rifles list in Warzone. The gun is an incredibly easy-to-use AR with low recoil and great damage range, which makes it ideal for mid to long ranges within the game.

The RAM-7 was the best Assault Rifle during Warzone Season 2.

Following a massive nerf in Season 3, the RAM-7 fell a few places back. In the previous seasons, this AR was considered the best pick to cover long-range fights.

However, it is still many players’ pick given its low recoil and competitive damage output. Naturally, this will make the gun beginner-friendly, considering you’ll be able to land most of your shots easily.

2. Holger 556

Warzone’s Holger 556 is an extremely powerful Assault Rifle.

Following the RAM-7 nerf, the Holger 556 has taken its spot as the second-best Assault Rifles in Warzone. This AR holds little to no recoil, high damage and range, and can kill enemies in a few shots with its powerful and consistent bullet velocity.

1. SVA 545 – Best Assault Rifle in Warzone

The SVA 545 is an impressively accurate AR, enabling you to shred your enemies in quick succession. Given its impressive damage profile and minimal recoil, this AR took over the meta in Urzikstan and Rebirth Island.

The weapon’s low recoil makes it easy to use for any player in the game and has a competitive damage output, which sets it apart from its counterparts following several nerfs.
