Looking to grind your way to some victories on Vondel? These are the best weapons in Warzone 2 Season 4 to get you there.
Warzone 2’s arsenal boasts various lethal weapons, each with its own strengths and weaknesses, catering to different playstyles, distances, and game modes. Every season shakes up the meta with new weapons and balance changes to older weapons. Although, more often than not, some weapons are functionally so good that they remain relevant throughout the game’s lifespan.
Despite the much-needed nerfs to several popular choices, the best weapons in season 3 mostly resemble the previous seasons. Get re-oriented and discover which weapons will give you an upper hand in the intense battle royale Warzone 2.
TAQ-56 – Mid-Range Laser Beam
Excellent stats make or break a weapon in Call of Duty. Players naturally gravitate toward weapons with the greatest damage and the fastest TTK. While that’s great in the close engagements of multiplayer maps, most of Warzone 2’s gunfights happen in mid to long-range, where accuracy and recoil control matter. That’s why the (comparatively) slow-firing and consistent TAQ-56 is the reliable go-to weapon in the battle royale mode.
Furthermore, the TAQ-56 feels good to use with its ability to stay on target, especially with a mid-range scope. The weapon is amazing out of the box and becomes deadlier with range and stability attachments. For those who want more punch in their shots, a powerful alternative is the Cronen Squall.
Kastov-74u — Close-Quarters Beast
Whether you love it or overwhelmingly hate it, snipers are here to delete the competition. The best snipers can one-shot enemies with an explosive bullet attachment and a clean headshot, but most of the time, it will take two bullets. It’s best to pair a sniper with a lightning-quick ADS speed to finish off weak targets. Additionally, a gun that can duke it out in close quarters lets you cover both extreme ranges.
The Kastov-74u is the perfect sniper support since it has the damage and fire rate of an SMG, along with the range of an Assault Rifle. The gun is notorious for its strength in multiplayer maps, and bringing it along as a secondary weapon is always a strong option. The Lachmann Sub and PDSW-528 are extremely potent alternatives if you anticipate fights in point-blank ranges, like when contesting buildings.
Chimera — Best Assault Rifle
The Chimera is the best Assault Rifle in Warzone 2, especially after the heavy nerfs to the beloved ISO Hemlock. The Chimera is a versatile weapon that can fight from close quarters to mid-range, and with the right scope, it has a 360ms TTK beyond 55 meters. The gun also deals additional damage with further falloff when using the semi-auto mode. Whether as a primary or secondary gun, the Chimera stands out when compared to the rest of its class. Alternatively, the ISO Hemlock and Lachman-556 are solid choices for traditional Assault Rifles.
MCPR-300 — One-Shot Menace
In the right hands, the MCPR-300 is a one-shot killing machine. The sniper rifle deserves to be one of the best weapons in Warzone 2 because of its unmatched potential under ideal conditions. Aside from performing in the expected long range, the MCPR-300 comes in the clutch in shorter ranges due to its fast ADS and accuracy. The sniper rifle is lethal in both a quickscoper and marksman’s hands.
RPK — Consistently Meta
The RPK light machine gun has dominated the meta since Warzone 2’s launch. It offers everything you need to win mid-range fights: decent fire rate, high ammo count, and a potential 300ms TTK beyond 55 meters. Not to mention that the RPK is pinpoint accurate, and players who put time into the weapon can reliably beam enemies in mid-range. While some content creators find it boring and stale, the RPK is still one of the best weapons in season 3. If you’re looking for alternative light machine guns, other players swear by the faster TTK of the RAAL MG and the SAKIN MG38.
