Rankings explained

10. FJX Horus

Following a massive damage range nerf, the FJX Horus went all the way down to the tenth spot in the rankings. Supreignly, this SMG still remains a popular option thanks to its ease of use and great mobility.

When equipped with the JAK Scimitar Kit attachment, this SMG has a competitive damage and fire rate in close-range fights.

9. MORS – Best Sniper Rifle

After the return of the Kar98k, the MORS was kicked back to the second-best long-range Rifle spot. This futuristic CoD Advanced Warfare Sniper has excellent damage values and range. The thing I love most about this gun is the Quick Bolt attachment, which allows me to kill opponents in rapid succession.

8. MCW

The MCW, also known as the iconic ACR, is popular thanks to its easy-to-use nature at both long and close ranges. The Assault Rifle is the perfect all-around option, boasting competitive damage and almost no recoil.

Alternatively, you can use it as an SMG hybrid with the JAK Raven Kit, which provides excellent mobility and comfort while maintaining high damage.

7. Static-HV

Season 5’s Static-HV feels similar to the PDW-57 from Black Ops 2, which most veteran players will surely appreciate. This SMG boasts excellent damage output, fire rate, and mobility, proving great for close-range combat.

While it’s just starting to find its feet, additional changes could see this weapon climb even higher in the rankings.

6. Kar98k – Best Marksman Rifle

Warzone veterans will recognize the Kar98k, as it has dominated the battle royale since its original iteration, and that remains true today. Returning as a Marksman Rifle with one-shot capabilities, this fan-favorite beast has amazing movement and damage, allowing it to eliminate opponents at long distances.

Despite being nerfed in previous seasons, now requiring a little more precision, the Kar98k remains a top-tier pick, allowing you to one-shot enemies from afar on the beloved Rebirth Island map.

5. SVA 545

Despite being one of the first Assault Rifles to be unlocked, the SVA 545 remains an excellent pick to dominate the game’s mid to long ranges. This gun received a damage range buff in the fifth update, making it remarkably user-friendly. It offers great damage output, low recoil, and a high fire rate.

4. STG44

The iconic STG44 returned with Season 5 and rapidly claimed a spot among the best guns. This hard-hitting Assault Rifle is ideal for long-range engagements. It features exceptional damage, range, and almost no recoil, especially when equipped with the new Quartermaster Suppressor.

3. Superi 46

The Superi 46 initially took over the close-range meta. However, several massive nerfs pushed it down the rankings, allowing other options to rise. After further mobility nerfs in Season 5, the gun maintains its position but is now outperformed by the AMR9.

2. AMR9 – Best SMG

A reliable close-range weapon is always a hot commodity on any map, and that stays true with the AMR9. After a substantial damage range buff to its in Season 5, this SMG has great damage output, mobility, and fire rate, making it a force to be reckoned with.

1. MTZ-556 – Best gun in Warzone

The MTZ-556 claims the best gun in Warzone spot. A popular choice from the previous season, this Assault Rifle received a max damage buff in Season 5. This enhancement boosts its competitive range and damage, making it even more effective at long distances when combined with its low recoil.

No matter which guns you pick, be sure to complement them with the best controller and PC settings to maximize the potential of these weapons in Warzone.
