Rank 3: Grau 5.56 (236 votes)
What kind of weapon is this? With the Grau 5.56 , we finally enter the top 3 and have a newer weapon at hand. It was introduced with Season 2 and is considered one of the biggest competitors to the M4A1, which has long been regarded as the queen of assault rifles.
Why does it rank 3? Like all top assault rifles, the Grau is one of the most versatile weapons in the game. With the right attachments, it can be modified for almost any range.
The reason it only ranks 3rd and not 1st may be due to its recent nerf in the mid-season update of Season 4. There, it was adjusted after criticism from many players and professionals and is apparently not as popular anymore, but still remains among the top contenders.
Rank 2: M4A1 (242 votes)
What kind of weapon is this? The M4A1 is likely the most famous assault rifle in Call of Duty and the world after the AK-47. It is considered one of the strongest all-rounders and has long topped the list of the strongest weapons in Modern Warfare.
Why does it rank 2? Its versatility is its greatest asset and makes it slightly better in all areas since the nerf of the Grau, even if only marginally, as evidenced by the number of votes.
Its popularity may also stem from its status as an iconic weapon and as a strong weapon for beginners, as it can be relatively quickly and easily leveled up through use, especially if one doesn’t want to unlock weapons through challenges.
Rank 1: M13 (266 votes)
What kind of weapon is this? The M13 is your most popular assault rifle and somewhat like the budget version of the M4A1. It has almost identical stats and a nearly identical application range.
Why does it rank 1? The assault rifle is very stable and easy to handle. You can find it everywhere as loot in Battle Royale since the release of Warzone, and many soldiers have therefore already achieved a high weapon level for the M13.
It is only somewhat weaker than the M4A1 in a few areas (e.g., at the longest distances regarding damage), but can be modified for extreme precision – basically a laser.
The better handling of the M13 compensates for its slightly lower damage and makes it somewhat more reliable in heated firefights.
Did you expect this result? Or would you have expected a different weapon on the throne? Which ranking surprised you?
