Warzone Best Loadout
Picking the best Warzone guns got a lot harder when Cold War added its arsenal to the line up. There were already plenty of guns to choose from but with a second game's worth of options added into the mix there's now much to consider. A lot of options can be subjective, because if a gun works for you, then who cares what other people think. However there's a reason why all the best players tend to turn up with the same weapons, and coming up we'll filter out some top-tier choices for every play style and situation.

00:00Picking the best Warzone guns got a lot harder when Cold War added its arsenal to the line-up.
00:06There were already plenty of guns to choose from, but with a second game's worth of
00:09options added into the mix, there's now a lot more to consider.
00:12A lot of options can be subjective, because if a gun works for you, then who cares what
00:16other people think?
00:17However, there's a reason why all the best players tend to turn up with the same weapons,
00:21and coming up we'll filter out some top-tier choices for every playstyle and situation.
00:27The Farah 83 arrived in Verdansk as part of Cold War Season 2 and quickly started to win
00:31people over.
00:33It packs the highest damage of the assault rifle class, and while its speed, accuracy
00:36and ammo aren't at the top, it's a solid option before you even add any attachments
00:40thanks to its controllable recoil and a significant punch.
00:44Because it covers both medium and long ranges well, attachments like the SUSAT multi-zoom
00:48optic are essential, while speed tape on the handle to boost aim down sight speed and a
00:53tactical stock to increase your aim movement speed give you another advantage.
00:57The M16 is a great option because it's powerful and the burst fire makes it incredibly accurate
01:02at distance.
01:03So, while you might have to keep pulling the trigger to keep that fire up, you only need
01:07to land two hits to down most enemies, and those three round bursts keep that accuracy
01:11high.
01:12Its strengths are best played at longer ranges, so use attachments like the VisionTech 2x
01:16optic and the 0.5 Task Force barrel to boost damage, range and bullet velocity.
01:22The Kar98k is a marksman rifle that feels like a sniper.
01:25A lot of the time in Warzone, you'll be fighting at medium to long range, which is
01:29exactly the best time to use the Kar.
01:31It features fast aim down sight speeds, high damage and can be used to secure long range
01:35eliminations.
01:36Even if you don't fully down or eliminate your opponent, the weapon deals high enough
01:40damage that it will stop anyone in their tracks, freeing you up to restock on plates, reload
01:44or letting you get to cover.
01:47Serving as a superb companion weapon to any sniper or long range option, the MAC-10 is
01:52an SMG that packs a serious punch.
01:54Even after getting severely nerfed shortly after it arrived, the MAC-10 is still a force
01:58to be reckoned with, thanks to its extremely high rate of fire.
02:02Other weapons simply cannot compete with it up close.
02:04You won't win any fights from a distance though, as that fire rate makes for some crazy
02:08recoil.
02:09But, slap on a silencer and a 53 round mag and you will be unstoppable up close.
02:14LMGs are often overlooked in Warzone, but when used well they can be extremely dangerous.
02:19The Stoner 63 is one of the best options in its class, a high damage, easy to control
02:24light machine gun that plays more like an assault rifle, just with more ammo in its
02:28clip.
02:29It's perfect for taking out vehicles or multiple enemies at once.
02:32Like all LMGs, the Stoner is very slow, particularly with its aim down sight speed, but you can
02:37improve things with the right attachments.
02:39The main thing to keep in mind is that this weapon works well at medium to long range
02:43thanks to its high damage and relatively low recoil.
02:46The CR-56 AMAX is one of the best well-rounded weapons in all of Warzone.
02:51It features high headshot damage, more than a lot of other assault rifles, and excels
02:55at medium to long range firefights that usually fill the average match.
02:58It might feel slow to use, but its accuracy and damage output make up for that.
03:02Its iron sights are also excellent and extremely usable at range, freeing up a precious attachment
03:07slot instead of using a scope.
03:10The Groza is a sort of a hybrid between an SMG and an assault rifle that can be tailored
03:14to suit close up or medium range best.
03:16The high rate of fire is this weapon's strong suit, meaning you can ditch the need for a
03:20second close range option.
03:22With the right attachments, you can build this out for long range, although you'll need
03:25to be careful of the recoil.
03:27For that reason, you're really going to get the best from it using the Groza in close
03:30to medium range encounters.
03:32In that space, it makes a great backup for the range of a sniper or marksman rifle.
03:37So those are our picks at the best Warzone guns.
