Best meta guns in Warzone
10. HRM-9

Despite being the previous best gun in Warzone, the HRM-9 was hit with massive damage and range nerfs in Season 3 Reloaded. However, this SMG still has a competitive fire rate and incredible mobility, allowing you to take out enemies in close-quarters combat swiftly.
9. M13B

After a huge damage buff in Season 3 Reloaded, MW2’s M13B claims a spot in the top 10 best guns in Warzone list. This Assault Rifle has highly competitive damage values and little to no recoil.
Just like in the game’s first iteration, I find this AR a worthwhile choice given its ease of use when using the right attachment combination.
8. MORS – Best Sniper Rifle in Warzone

Returning from SHG’s futuristic CoD Advanced Warfare, the MORS has managed to be the best and most popular Sniper to use in Warzone Season 3 Reloaded.
This gun is extremely easy to use, and has excellent damage values and range, allowing you to one-shot enemies from afar on the beloved Rebirth Island map. The thing I love most about this Sniper is the Quick Bolt attachment, which lets me kill opponents in quick succession.
7. BP50

Despite being an Assault Rifle, the BP50 is a versatile weapon in Warzone Season 3 Reloaded. Whether you choose to use the JAK Revenger Kit which turns the gun into a powerful SMG, or pick the long-range loadout, this weapon is extremely easy to use with low recoil and high damage output.
This gun is a perfect choice on any map, going toe-to-toe with some of the best weapons in the game across both close-range and mid to long ranges, depending on the loadout you pick.
6. BAL-27

A reliable Assault Rifle is always a hot commodity across any of Warzone’s maps, and that stays true with Advanced Warfare’s returning BAL-27. After being introduced with the Season 3 Reloaded update, it boosts a fast fire rate, great damage, and range, making it a force to be reckoned with in Warzone.
5. Striker 9

The Striker 9 is an outstanding SMG in Warzone, boasting a ton of mobility, which excels across small maps like Rebirth Island or Fortune’s Keep. When equipped with the right attachments, this SMG has great damage output and fire rate perfect to dominate close-range distances.
4. MCW

Warzone veterans will recognize the MCW, as it has dominated multiplayer since MW3’s release and that also holds true in Warzone. While this popular AR doesn’t boast the best stats, I found it easy to use with almost no recoil, competitive damage, and great range allowing it to eliminate opponents at long distances.
3. WSP-9 – Best SMG in Warzone

After a noticeable nerf to the HRM-9, the classic Uzi, known as the WSP-9 in Warzone, managed to climb back up the best weapon rankings. This SMG has top-tier damage, a rapid fire rate, and amazing mobility. When using the right attachments, this gun is an outstanding pick for close-range fights.
2. SVA 545 – Best Assault Rifle in Warzone

Despite being one of the first Assault Rifles to be unlocked in Warzone, the SVA 545 remains an outstanding pick to dominate the game’s mid to long ranges. This gun is remarkably user-friendly and boasts an impressive damage output, low recoil, and high fire rate.
1. DG-58 LSW – Best gun in Warzone
![DG-58 LSW with Warzone logo](https://www.charlieintel.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=3840,quality=75,format=auto/https://editors.charlieintel.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/15/best-warzone-DG-58-LSW-loadout-1024x576.jpg)
The DG-58 LSW is the best Warzone gun thanks to its JAK Nightshade Conversion Kit and outstanding stats for long-range combat. This LMG is an excellent option boasting outstanding damage, range, and little recoil.
When equipped with the right attachments, its range and damage can be considerably improved making it perfect for Rebirth Island and Urzikstan.
That wraps up the top 10 weapons in Warzone, but feel free to experiment with some of the other guns on offer as you might find your favorite.
