Rankings explained

5. SVA 545

After a buff in the Season 5 update, the SVA 545 continues to be 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 Resurgence.

4. MTZ-556

Considered MW3’s version of the ISO Hemlock, the MTZ-556 comes in at number four. It’s a great pick, especially after a buff to its damage range in the Season 5 update, which makes it even stronger across longer distances.

This AR is easy to use and boasts a great fire rate perfect for mid-ranges, however, its damage isn’t as great as its counterparts.

3. BAL-27

The fan-favorite Advanced Warfare BAL-27 has taken the third-best spot after a damage range buff in the mid-season update. Like most of its rivals, this AR features little to no recoil, high damage and range, and can kill enemies in a few shots with its powerful and consistent bullet velocity.

2. BP50

This bullpup Assault Rifle takes second place thanks to its high fire rate, great damage, and surprisingly low recoil. The BP50‘s high fire rate makes it versatile, performing well in close-combat situations. If you want it to perform more like an SMG too, just throw on the JAK Revenger Kit for it and the BP50 becomes a close-range SMG.

1. STG44 – Best Assault Rifle in Warzone

Despite a nerf to its max damage, the STG44 continues to be a hit since being introduced in Season 5 thanks to its ridiculously low recoil and excellent damage. When paired with the new Quartermaster Suppressor, I found it to be the easiest weapon to use, being extremely accurate and controllable across mid and long distances.

It’s well worth getting through the Battle Pass to unlock the AR, so try your best to work your way through it as quickly as possible to start dominating lobbies with the iconic gun.

On top of using the best weapons, make sure you also have the best settings, including controller, audio, and FOV to dominate the battle royale and level up easily.
