It’s going to be a little while before we really figure out which of Warzone‘s buffed, nerfed, and new guns are truly the best, but as is typically the case, it didn’t take long for a select few weapons to separate themselves from the pack. So if you don’t have time to wait and just want to start dominating Warzone so cleanly that people will start accusing you of hacking, here are the best weapons and loadouts for the Season 4 Reloaded meta:

Call of Duty Warzone Season 4 Reloaded: Best Guns

CR-56 AMAX

While there doesn’t appear to be a game-breaking weapon in Warzone at the moment (at least compared to previous seasons), the CR-56 AMAX is arguably the most reliable overall gun in the game.

PKM

The PKM’s recent nerfs would seemingly leave it on the outside looking in, but the PKM ultimately survived this latest patch and stands as arguably the best overall LMG in Warzone.  This PKM is an absolute nightmare at close range thanks to its recent damage buff, and it is honestly not that bad at medium ranges either. You can’t rely on this one at a distance, but given this monster’s time to kill potential, it’s easy to recommend taking the time to build a PKM loadout.

Kar98k

Most of Warzone’s sniper rifles are kind of in a rough spot at the moment, but the Kar98k distinguishes itself from its immediate competition largely by virtue of being the most reliable sniper in the game. The Kar98k is pretty much the same as it ever was, which means it’s still a very powerful ranged gun for anyone who doesn’t mind going for headshots. This gun will probably never be an “easy button,” but the right player can dominate with it.

DMR-14

The DMR-14 is another one of those guns that weren’t nerfed in the Season 4 Reloaded patch and, as such, has the unique advantage of getting ahead by standing still. 

FARA 83

The FARA suffered a couple of nerfs in the Season 4 Reloaded patch, but they didn’t do enough to prevent this rising star from securing its status as one of the best assault rifles in the game.  The FARA’s large magazine and rate of fire honestly make it closer to an SMG than an assault rifle, but it’s still viable enough at longer ranges to justify its AR status. It’s kind of a toss-up between this and the AMAX at the moment, but this gun can shred in the right situations. 

Bullfrog

Granted, the nerf to this gun’s overall damage and headshot damage multiplier might look bad, but the buffs to its limb damage multipliers mean that it’s actually easier than ever to make the most out of this previously promising weapon.  Besides, how often do you really go for headshots with an SMG? This thing’s spray potential is just shy of ridiculous at the moment, and it’s clearly one of the best options in its class. 

Stoner 63

The Stoner 63 has been in a weird spot over the last couple of Warzone updates. It’s been clearly outclassed by other options in the past, but now that so many of Warzone’s powerhouse guns have been nerfed, this is the time to take another look at this LMG. 

C58

This probably comes across as a weird choice. After all, the C58 hasn’t been a dominant gun and initially appears less desirable than ever before after a recent series of nerfs greatly impacted its overall damage potential.  However, the C58 is an absolutely dominant weapon at long ranges. Seriously, the range on this thing feels like a joke at times, and I’m not entirely sure its current long-range damage potential is supposed to be quite this strong. You have to try this one out. 

Krig 6

The jury is still out on the Krig 6 compared to its closest competition, but there is a very good chance this gun ends up being one of the most dominant in Warzone by the time this meta settles.  A slight buff to the Krig’s overall damage makes it even easier to appreciate this gun’s massive magazine and minor recoil. This gun just has very few obvious downsides, which may be enough to compensate for the fact that it has relatively few outright dominant qualities. 

Grau 5.56

We wondered how long it would be until the Grau finally worked its way back into the Warzone meta, and, thanks to a surprising buff to this gun’s overall damage, it looks like that time is now.
