With Warzone’s devs Raven Software dropping major weapon balance changes during Season 4 Reloaded, top YouTuber JGOD has broken down the best weapon loadouts ahead of Season 5.

While Warzone‘s meta is the most balanced it’s been for a long time, Vanguard weapons still come out on top. Although Modern Warfare and Cold War guns are still viable in Season 4 Reloaded, it’s Vanguard weapons that make up Warzone expert JGOD’s best meta loadouts.

JGOD explained that it’s a toss-up between the STG44 and KG M40 for Assault Rifles, while the SMG meta is split between the Armaguerra 43 and Marco 5. He said that the weapons are “interchangeable” depending on your skill level and playstyle, and there isn’t a be-all-end-all.

The STG has “as good a TTK, better mobility, faster reload than the KG M40 which is an absolute laser which requires zero skill and anyone can use,” explained JGOD. “So you kind of gotta pick where you’re at and what consistency level you’re going to be playing at.”

For the SMGs, it’s also dependent on skill. The Armaguerra can offer a much faster TTK but isn’t as easy to use, while the Marco 5 has much better mobility and an easy-to-control recoil pattern.

JGOD also gave some alternative attachment combos for SMGs depending on whether you’re playing modes like Titanium Trials, so be sure to check out the full video below.
