Most popular guns in Warzone

The most popular guns in Warzone are usually very powerful, with easy-to-control recoil that makes them user-friendly. Based on the data from WZRanked, we have assembled a list of the ten most popular weapons in Warzone Season 2 as of February 2024:

10. AMR9 – 2.71%

With a 2.71% pick rate, the AMR9 is the tenth most popular weapon in Season 2 of Warzone. Despite not being a popular pick since the game’s integration with MW3, after the substantial buffs it received to all its damage profiles with the Season 1 Reloaded update, the weapon has managed to make its way on the list as one of the many SMGs.

9. MTZ-762 – 2.76% – Most popular Battle Rifle in Warzone

The MTZ-762 has taken over the Battle Rifle meta given its steady nature and damage output. The BAS-B received some nerfs in the Season 2 update, and the MTZ-Interceptor swooped in as the new best BR option with a 2.76% pick rate.

The MTZ-762 is a hard-hitting, long-range BR perfect for Fortune’s Keep and Urzikstan gameplay. It can be paired with a close-range weapon like an SMG for a versatile loadout that can handle any situation.

8. BP50 – 3.14%

Activision

The classic F2000, known as the BP50 in Warzone, has managed to claim the eighth position amongst the most popular picks in Warzone with a 3.14% pick rate, given its damage output and versatile nature.

If you’re seeking a dependable and adaptable weapon known for its damage and ability to also work wonders in close quarters, the BP50 is the ideal choice. Despite not being so easy to tame, several nerfs to its counterparts led this new AR to be selected for engagements both at close and mid-range in Season 2.

7. WSP-9 – 3.66%

Its counterpart in the WSP Swarm was previously the most popular weapon within the game, but the WSP-9 has always been overlooked. That is until a major Season 2 buff increased its popularity drastically, now boasting a 3.66% pick rate.

The SMG is considered a great choice for close-quarter combat thanks to its blistering speed and fire rate, which secured its place on this list.

6. XRK Stalker – 6.66% – Most popular Sniper in Warzone

The XRK Stalker usurped the KATT-AMR to become the most popular Sniper Rifle in Warzone. This achievement comes down to a major buff it received in Season 2 that now allows it to one-shot kill enemies in Warzone.

If you’re looking to use a Sniper Rifle on Fortune’s Keep or Urzikstan, the XRK with its 6.66% pick rate is your best bet.

5. RAM-7 – 6.9%

As for Assault Rifles, the beloved RAM-7 is back among the most popular weapons, with a 6.9% pick rate. After its popularity peaked throughout MW 2019, this AR is dominating mid to long-range fights once more.

4. SVA 545 – 9.48% – Most popular Assault Rifle in Warzone

The SVA 545 is another surprise weapon that shot up the ranks in Season 2 within the top ten most popular weapons. It secures the fourth spot with a 9.48% pick rate, thanks to its ease of use and excellent mobility. With the right attachments, this AR can be transformed into a powerful choice in the battle royale.

3. HRM-9 – 9.62%

Following the WSP Swarm nerfs, Season 1 Reloaded’s HRM-9 quickly took over the close-range meta given its blistering fire rate, damage, and its Optic resembling the iconic Grau from MW 2019. This has remained true at the start of Season 2 as well.

This powerful SMG’s pick rate, currently at 9.62%, is poised to increase further due to its exceptional mobility and TTK, which sets it apart from its counterparts.

2. RAM-9 – 18.01% – Most popular SMG in Warzone

Activision

The RAM-9 is the SMG alternative to the popular RAM-7, so it’s no surprise to see it so high on the list with an 18.01% pick rate after it arrived in Season 2. Its look and feel will be familiar to players who enjoy using the RAM-7, making it an easy weapon to pick up.

As it stands, the RAM-9 is the most popular SMG in Warzone, but only time will tell if it achieved this standing due to its ability or its status as a new weapon.

1. TAQ Evolvere – 22.86% – Most popular weapon in Warzone

While the TAQ Evolvere is currently the most popular weapon in Warzone, it may not remain at the top for long. Following a February 13 update, the TAQ Evolvere became the most broken long-range and close-range weapon in Warzone. However, the devs swiftly nerfed the weapon on February 16.

Now, some experts believe the TAQ Evolvere isn’t worth using anymore, but it still boasts a healthy 22.86% pick rate. The next long-range weapon to receive a buff could impact the TAQ Evolvere’s popularity, so keep your eyes peeled.
