The battle royale battlefield of Call of Duty: Warzone is ever-evolving, bringing in new weapons, maps, and operators to keep things interesting.
Whether you’re flying solo or dropping in with a squad, it’s imperative to know what the best weapons are when it comes time to buy a weapon on Urzikstan, Area 99, or any of the maps or modes you enjoy playing. Meta loadouts are the name of the game in CoD.
Make sure to double-check your armor plates and your ammo satchels before dropping in, because we’ve got the best loadouts in Warzone for you.
Best Warzone loadouts: Tier list
The best loadout in Warzone right now includes one long-range weapon and another weapon for close-range. In the early days of season one, this includes assault rifles like the GPR 91 and sniper rifles like the LR 7.62 for long range, and SMGs like the KSV and PP-919 for close range.
Read on below to see what you should be using in your loadouts for Warzone in season one of Black Ops 6.
Best long-range guns in BO6 Warzone
| Tier | Weapon |
|---|---|
| S (The top meta weapons) |
– GPR 91 – XM4 – XMG – LR 7.62 |
| A (Strong weapons) |
– AK-74 – Model L – Krig C – PU-21 – Goblin Mk2 |
| B (Viable weapons) |
– Ames 85 – Tsarkov 7.62 – DM-10 – LW3A1 Frostline – SVD |
| C (These probably shouldn’t be used) |
– AS VAL – SWAT 5.56 – AEK-973 |
| D (Do not use) |
– Shotguns – Pistols – SMGs |
GPR 91
| Slot | Attachment |
|---|---|
| Optic | Jason Armory 2X |
| Muzzle | Suppressor |
| Barrel | Reinforced Barrel |
| Underbarrel | Vertical Foregrip |
| Magazine | Extended Mag II |
| Rear Grip | Commando Grip |
| Stock | Balanced Stock |
| Fire Mods | 5.56 Overpressured |
The GPR 91 is an early favorite in season one for assault rifles due in large part to its fire rate in combination with its ability to fight at range with accuracy. It’s likely the best AR for now.
XM4
| Slot | Attachment |
|---|---|
| Optic | Jason Armory 2X |
| Muzzle | Compensator |
| Barrel | Reinforced Barrel |
| Underbarrel | Vertical Foregrip |
| Magazine | Extended Mag II |
| Rear Grip | Commando Grip |
| Stock | Balanced Stock |
| Fire Mods | 5.56 Overpressured |
A favorite in BO6, it’s no surprise that players are loving the XM4 in Warzone, too. It shoots as straight as a laser and has a 60 round magazine to keep you firing.
XMG
| Slot | Attachment |
|---|---|
| Optic | Jason Armory 2X |
| Muzzle | Compensator |
| Barrel | Long Barrel |
| Underbarrel | Vertical Foregrip |
| Magazine | Fast Mag I |
| Rear Grip | Quickdraw Grip |
| Stock | Combat Stock |
| Fire Mods | Recoil Springs |
No matter what the meta is, there’s always a strong option for LMG players. This is because the longer you can shoot an enemy in Warzone, the easier you can down and then finish them off through their armor. The more ammo, the better, but this build even sacrifices 25 rounds with the Fast Mag I and it still rocks.
Always keep in mind that the Warzone meta shifts constantly, every few weeks or so. It’s still the early days of BO6 Warzone, so the best and worst weapons will be a fluid situation over the coming weeks and months.
LR 7.62
| Slot | Attachment |
|---|---|
| Muzzle | Ported Compensator |
| Barrel | Reinforced Barrel |
| Underbarrel | Precision Handguard |
| Magazine | Extended Mag I |
| Rear Grip | Quickdraw Grip |
| Stock | Heavy Stock |
| Fire Mods | 7.62 NATO Overpressured |
Sniper rifles are back to their one-shot killing ways in Warzone thanks to season one patch notes, and the LR 7.62 feels the best when it comes to popping heads at range in Urzikstan.
Best close range guns in BO6 Warzone
| Tier | Weapon |
|---|---|
| S (The top meta weapons) |
– PP-919 – Jackal PDW – KSV |
| A (Strong weapons) |
– C9 – Tanto .22 – Saug – Marine SP |
| B (Viable weapons) |
– AS VAL – Kompakt 92 – ASG-89 – Grekhova |
| C (These probably shouldn’t be used) |
– Most Assault Rifles – 9mm PM – GS45 – Stryder .22 |
| D (Do not use) |
– Marksman Rifles – Sniper Rifles |
PP-919
| Slot | Attachment |
|---|---|
| Muzzle | Suppressor |
| Barrel | Long Barrel |
| Rear Grip | Quickdraw Grip |
| Stock | Balanced Stock |
| Fire Mods | 9x18mm Makarov FMJ |
The PP-919 wins out thus far in Warzone thanks to its massive magazine, which is able to dole out enough damage to take down multiple enemies in a squad before ever having to think about reloading.
Jackal PDW
| Slot | Attachment |
|---|---|
| Muzzle | Compensator |
| Barrel | Reinforced Barrel |
| Underbarrel | Ranger Foregrip |
| Magazine | Extended Mag II |
| Rear Grip | Quickdraw Grip |
The Jackal PDW is one of the best guns in BO6 multiplayer, and it translates well to Warzone, too. This build is well-balanced for mid-range damage along with mobility, meaning it’s an excellent back-pocket gun.
Make sure to select the Overkill Wildcard if you want to use two primary weapons within your loadout. Otherwise, your best option is to choose Gunfighter and then equip an additional three attachments to your gun. Keep in mind that Gunfighter only works on BO6 guns, though.
KSV
| Slot | Attachment |
|---|---|
| Muzzle | Compensator |
| Barrel | Gain-Twist Barrel |
| Magazine | Extended Mag I |
| Rear Grip | Quickdraw Grip |
| Stock | No Stock |
KSV enjoyers have reason to be excited because this SMG excels in Warzone, possibly even moreso than in BO6 MP, and is a favorite pick early on for Area 99 and close-range encounters everywhere.
