Following nerfs to the ISO Hemlock in Season 3 Reloaded, the Cronen Squall claims the title of best long-range weapon in Warzone 2, and popular YouTuber JGOD even said it’s breaking the game. When it comes to this Ranked Play loadout, we’ve paired the best long-range weapon with what is currently considered the best close-range weapon in the Vaznev-9k.

Although considered a high-skill weapon because of its recoil, the Cronen Squall’s impressive TTK covers long-range situations and the Vaznev will help you win close-range gunfights with ease. If you find this Cronen Squall too slow, you can add a smaller magazine.

Best Warzone 2 Ranked Play ISO Hemlock & Lachmann Sub loadout

• ISO Hemlock
  • Muzzle: Harbinger D20
  • Barrel: Fielder-T50
  • Optic: Aim OP-V4
  • Ammunition: 5.56 High Velocity
  • Magazine: 45 Round Mag
• Lachmann Sub

  • Stock: Meer Recoil-56 Factory Stock
  • Ammunition: 9mm Overpressured +P

  • Perk 1: Overkill
  • Perk 2: Double Time
  • Perk 3: Restock
  • Perk 4: Ghost
• Equipment
  • Lethal: Drill Charge
  • Tactical: Smoke Grenade

Despite receiving a few nerfs with the Season 3 Reloaded update, the ISO Hemlock is still one of the best weapons in Warzone 2. While it’s not quite at the level it once was, the Assault Rifle is a fantastic mid to long-range option.

With thermal scopes banned, you can equip Restock in your Perk Package to get an endless supply of Smoke Grenades which have become vital in late-game scenarios.

If you find this loadout too bouncy at long-range, simply swap the ammunition for an Underbarrel option. For the time being, we suggest pairing the AR with the snappy Lachmann Sub as the two guns work well in tandem.

The Lachmann-556 was already a strong choice but the Season 3 Reloaded update gave it the push it needed to fly all the way to the top. The Assault Rifle received buffs to its power and damage range which make it impossible to ignore.

What makes the Lachmann-556 such a good choice is its low recoil, large magazine, and forgiving fire rate, and having the new FTAC Siege in your pocket means you’ll be competitive at any range.

The MCPR-300 is one of the hardest-hitting Sniper Rifles available in Warzone 2. Since Season 3 introduced one-shot Sniper Rifles, the MCPR-300’s viability has skyrocketed. It’s currently considered the best Sniper in Warzone 2, which makes it perfect for Ranked Play on Al Mazrah.

Meanwhile, the Chimera is an excellent all-rounder that will cover your non-Sniper engagements. As far as Sniper support weapons go in Warzone 2, the Chimera is second to none. Fast Hands will allow you to swap between your Sniper and the Chimera faster as you adapt to new situations.
