5. FR Avancer

With its release in Season 5, the FR Avancer has quickly become a popular choice for medium-range combat. It is based on the FAMAS and comes in the top five ARs of Season 5 Reloaded due to its great combination of damage, fire rate, and stability.

This AR can also handle close-range fights well, thanks to its burst mode. It is a very forgiving and versatile weapon that can suit any playstyle.

4. Tempus Razorback

The Tempus Razorback has been a part of Warzone 2 since the Season 4 update. This powerful Assault Rifle has a high rate of fire and excellent accuracy, making it a popular choice among players who prefer mid-range combats.

In addition, the Tempus Razorback has a low recoil that you can counter really effectively with some specific loadouts.

3. Chimera

The Chimera gives players the best of both worlds in Warzone 2. Not only can it rip through armor at mid-range, but it also packs all the punch of an SMG when a close-quarters fight breaks out.

Its fast fire rate and easy-to-manage recoil make it extremely simple to get the most out of, and it can be the perfect partner to a long-range Sniper Rifle. Plus, the built-in suppressor means you can use your attachments to curb its recoil and keep it laser-accurate,

All-in-all, the Chimera is a serious contender that shouldn’t be taken lightly in Warzone 2 Season 5 Reloaded.

2. M13B

Low-recoil, easy-to-use Assault Rifles are always popular in Warzone 2 and the M13B is a great top-tier choice in Season 5 Reloaded.

If you’re looking for a gun with easy-to-control recoil and a forgiving fire rate that’s capable of outgunning other meta choices, look no further than the M13B. Although players have more health, it still has the TTK to contend with weapons that are more difficult to use.

1. Kastov 762 – Best Assault Rifle in Warzone 2

Climbing up from the bottom to the top of the list, the Kastov 762 is now the best Assault Rifle in Warzone 2 Season 5 Reloaded. It is based on the AK-47, a Russian automatic rifle that has high damage and range and can kill enemies in a few shots with its powerful and consistent bullets.

Given its amazing TTK and ability to outperform any other weapon in its category, it’s no wonder that Kastov 762 is ranked number one. The gun also has very low recoil and is easy to use, making it a very user-friendly and effective weapon.
