Highlights
SMGs and Assault Rifles are dominating the meta in Warzone 2.0 right now.
Snipers are still viable but they need to be used for quickscoping into kills instead of holding areas over long distances.
Shotguns and LMGs are also viable in the current meta in closed quarters combat.

With the release of the Al-Mazrah map, Warzone’s weapon meta has been shaken up thanks to the fast playstyle that the map enables. Snipers are not as effective in Warzone 2.0 but you can still make them work. SMGs and Assault Rifles on the other hand are much more effective because of how frequently you run into closed-quarter fights. Here is our tier list for Warzone 2.0 featuring every weapon available right now.

Warzone 2.0 S-Tier Weapon Loadouts

Here are the best weapon loadouts for the five weapons in the S-Tier.

TAQ - 56

The TAQ-56 is the number one weapon in Warzone right now thanks to the low recoil and ease-of-use that it offers.

  • Muzzle – Harbinger D20 

  • Barrel – 14.5″ Tundra Pro Barrel 

  • Optic – VLK 4.0x Optic 

  • Ammunition – 5.56 High Velocity 

  • Magazine – 60 Round Mag 

RPK

The RPK is the go-to light machine gun for mowing down enemies at any range without sacrificing much mobility.

  • Muzzle – Kastovia DX90 

  • Optic – Cronen Zero-P Optic 

  • Stock – Heavy Support Stock 

  • Underbarrel – FTAC Ripper 56 

  • Ammunition – 7.62 High Velocity 

Kastov-74u

The Kastov-74u is a great assault rifle for aggressive players and it can be paired with a sniper for maximum lethality. 

  • Muzzle – RF Crown 50 

  • Barrel – Shorttac 330mm 

  • Optic – Cronen Mini Pro 

  • Underbarrel – VX Pineapple

The 556 has very low-recoil and it is one of the go-to assault rifle options if you want to engage in long-range combat.

  • Optic – VLK 4.0x Optic 

  • Ammunition – 5.56 High Velocity
