5. BAL-27

The BAL 27 was previously featured in 2014’s Advanced Warfare.

Following its arrival with the Season 3 Reloaded update, the fan-favorite BAL-27 has taken its spot as the fifth-best Assault Rifle in Warzone. Like most of its counterparts, this AR features little to no recoil, high damage and range, and can kill enemies in a few shots with its powerful and consistent bullet velocity.

4. M13B

M13B Assault Rifle in Warzone
The M13B was also featured in the original iteration of the game as the M13.

Following a massive damage and range buff in Season 3 Reloaded, MW2’s M13B entered the list of Warzone’s best Assault Rifles. This AR feels just like the game’s original iteration being really easy to use and featuring low recoil and competitive damage output perfect for mid to long ranges.

3. BP50

BP50 Warzone
The BP50 arrived in the Warzone Season 2 update.

The BP50 has managed to secure a place on the best Assault Rifles list in Warzone. The gun is an incredibly easy-to-use AR with low recoil and great damage range, which makes it ideal for mid to long ranges within the game.

Additionally, when you equip its JAK Revenger Conversion Kit, you can turn this AR into a powerful SMG-hybrid, boasting great fire rate, damage, and mobility to excel at close-range combat.

2. MCW

MCW Assault Rifle in Warzone
The MCW boasts outstanding recoil control.

Veteran players will recognize the MCW because it is MW3’s version of the legendary ACR. Like its original version, this AR has very low recoil and competitive damage. If you are looking for an easy-to-use weapon to dominate medium and long distances, you should definitely give the MCW a try.

1. SVA 545 – Best Assault Rifle in Warzone

SVA 545 Warzone
The SVA 545 is the new most popular Assault Rifle in Season 3 Reloaded.

The SVA 545 is an impressively accurate AR, enabling you to shred your enemies in quick succession. Given its impressive damage profile and minimal recoil, this AR took over the meta in Urzikstan and Resurgence.

It’s been my favorite option since it took over the Warzone meta. This weapon has low recoil making it easy to use for any player in the game and has excellent damage output, which sets it apart from other ARs.
