In Call of Duty: Warzone there are plenty of weapons and even more factors why exactly that one weapon is the best fit for you. MeinMMO provides you with another factor: The assault rifles with the setups that offer the best kill/death ratio of the weapons.
An efficient way to improve in games like Call of Duty: Warzone is through imitation. Watching gameplay from professionals and utilizing tips from the best will inevitably lead to better performance – as long as training is not neglected. This also applies to weapons.
The CoD YouTuber and Warzone expert “JGOD” has therefore identified the two weapon setups of assault rifles that provide players with the best K/D ratio (via Twitter). For this, he used the data tool “Warzone Ranked” (via wzranked.com). MeinMMO shows you the weapons with the corresponding setups and provides an assessment of them.
Setups of the AK-47 from Cold War and CR-56 AMAX lead the K/D ranking
Which assault rifles are at the top of the K/D? These are the AK-47 from Cold War and the CR-56 AMAX from Modern Warfare. The two weapons hold positions 1 and 3 on WZ Ranked regarding K/D. In between them is the shotgun “Street Sweeper” (K/D – 1.22), which is played significantly less than the AK and the AMAX:
- CR-56 AMAX: K/D of players – 1.27
- AK-47 from Cold War: K/D of players – 1.15
- As of 02.06.21
What does the best K/D setup of the AMAX look like? With a K/D of 1.72, a setup of the AMAX stands out, which is only interesting for players with a good sense of recoil. The AMAX has noticeable recoil and requires significantly stronger corrections while shooting compared to the also very popular Kilo 141. However, players of the K/D setup forgo a foregrip, making the weapon even harder to control. However, with the VLK scope, the AMAX is still optimized for range with this setup.
Warzone: AMAX K/D setup
- Muzzle: Suppressor (Monolithic)
- Barrel: XRK Zodiac S440
- Scope: VLK 3.0x scope
- Ammunition: 45-round magazine
- Perk: Sleight of Hand

Instead of the stabilizing grip, the perk “Sleight of Hand” is the choice. This reduces your reload speed and allows you to be ready faster when the magazine runs dry. Otherwise, the setup does not deviate from the usual meta setups in Season 3.
What does the best K/D setup of the AK-47 from Cold War look like? The AK setup makes a bigger statement and shines with a K/D of 1.93 – a strong value in Warzone. The AK-47 is more designed for close combat and follows the path of the FFAR 1, which dominated close range in Season 2. With a time-to-kill of 500 milliseconds for chest hits and its pleasant mobility, the AK from Cold War is a reliable companion in short-distance fights. The weapon remains stable enough to cover even medium distances.
Warzone: AK-47 K/D setup
- Barrel: 20″ Spetsnaz RPK barrel
- Laser: Tiger Team Spotlight
- Scope: Microflex LED
- Stock: KGB Skeleton Stock
- Ammunition: 45-round

The setup focuses entirely on mobility and gains important bullet speed through the long barrel. The setup completely foregoes recoil-dampening attachments – the AK-47 from Cold War is strongest in close combat and should be used here.
The dilemma of weapon choice has never been greater in Warzone. Aside from the AMAX and the AK from Cold War, you can choose from more than 20 weapons that are currently classified as “meta”. Experiment, play around with different setups and use weapons with which you land many kills. Improving in Warzone is sometimes not so easy – but the right weapon can make all the difference.
