  What is meta in Warzone 2? Best weapons for the battle royale
  
  Is there currently an over-weapon in Warzone 2? No.
  
  List of best weapons in Warzone
  What are the best Warzone weapons? There are always outliers in some weapon classes. But generally, assault rifles are considered the best weapons in Warzone, along with a mobile submachine gun.
  
  Good range paired with decent damage, plus mobility is usually fine and you are not completely helpless in close combat.
  
  Assault rifles are supposed to take targets at medium and long range into focus and provide maximum “help” in close combat. Therefore, a submachine gun is suitable as a secondary weapon. With the little MP in hand, you run faster, are quicker in focus, and deal more damage in close combat.
  
  If mobility is not that important to you, an LMG can also replace the assault rifle. The sluggish monsters come with plenty of ammunition in the magazine and also offer very good control in some cases.
  
  Moreover, the lethal combination of sniper/DMR together with an MP is popular. However, with full armor, you can no longer land one-shot headshots in Warzone 2. Therefore, snipers are not considered meta weapons.
  
  CoD Warzone 2: The best assault rifle – STG44
  
  CoD Warzone 2: STG44 Setup
  - Magazine: 50-shot drum
  - Stock: DR79 Combo Stock
  - Sight: Corio Eagleseye 2.5X
  - Barrel: Long Heinrichter C70 barrel
  - Muzzle: Quartermaster suppressor
  What makes this weapon class special? Assault rifles are the all-rounders of Warzone. Best suited for medium and long distances, but also do not let you down in close combat – when it has to be. It is important that you can put your hits well and have a secure shooting feeling.
  - Alternatives
    - M4
    - Lachmann 556
  CoD Warzone 2: The best submachine gun – Static-HV
  
  CoD Warzone 2: Static-HV Setup
  - Stock: Lightweight SPRY 34 stock
  - Sight: JAK Glassless Sight
  - Barrel: Lightweight Auger 840 barrel
  - Muzzle: Quartermaster suppressor
  - Underbarrel: DR-6 Handstop
  What makes this weapon class special? Submachine guns are the close combat specialists, quickly losing damage at range, but are absolutely deadly at short distances. They also offer strong mobility values – so switch to the small weapons when you want to quickly move from A to B.
  - Alternatives
    - VEL 46
    - PDSW 528
    - Vansev-9k
  CoD Warzone 2: The best LMG – TAQ Eradicator
  
  CoD Warzone 2: TAQ Eradicator Setup
  - Stock: Tacverte Core stock
  - Sight: JAK Glassless Sight
  - Barrel: Long Conquer-70 barrel
  - Muzzle: Quartermaster suppressor
  - Underbarrel: Heavy Bruen support grip
  What makes this weapon class special? LMGs are sluggish, slow, and reload forever. But these disadvantages are correspondingly compensated. Light machine guns have huge magazines, often provide a secure shooting feeling, and some models are among the highest damage.
  - Alternatives
    - LAHS MG
    - RPK
  CoD Warzone 2: The best DMR – KAR 98k
  
  CoD Warzone 2: KAR 98k Setup
  - Sight: Range Master V3.4 sight
  - Laser: SL Razorhawk laser
  - Barrel: Long Precision Rifle 762 barrel
  - Muzzle: Suppressor (SCRATCH 20-L)
  - Ammo: 7.92x57mm High Caliber
  What makes this weapon class special? Warzone 2 offers two different types of DMRs. Weapons like the SP-R 208 or the Lockwood have a low fire rate and behave more like snipers. The EBR-14 or the TAQ-M behave more like battle rifles with higher fire rates.
  
  Ultimately, both types deliver high damage and good control for the range.
  - Alternatives
    - No recommendations at the moment – rather take a look at the snipers if you are looking for something with range
  CoD Warzone 2: The best sniper – KATT-AMR
  
  CoD Warzone 2: KATT-AMR Setup
  - Bolt: Fast Ephemeral Bolt
  - Stock: Tactical Stock Pad
  - Barrel: Zang-34 barrel
  - Muzzle: Sonic Suppressor XL
  - Ammo: Caliber 50 High Caliber
  What makes this weapon class special? Sniper rifles deliver the highest damage in the game. A large sight, a few attachments for stability, and you can go on a headshot hunt. But beware: if enemies have more than 2 armor plates, headshots are no longer lethal.
  - Alternatives
    - MCPR-300 – Can also land one-shot headshots with explosive ammo

      What is meta in Warzone 2? Best weapons for the battle royale
      
      Is there currently an over-weapon in Warzone 2? No.
      
      List of best weapons in Warzone
      What are the best Warzone weapons? There are always outliers in some weapon classes. But generally, assault rifles are considered the best weapons in Warzone, along with a mobile submachine gun.
      
      Good range paired with decent damage, plus mobility is usually fine and you are not completely helpless in close combat.
      
      Assault rifles are supposed to take targets at medium and long range into focus and provide maximum “help” in close combat. Therefore, a submachine gun is suitable as a secondary weapon. With the little MP in hand, you run faster, are quicker in focus, and deal more damage in close combat.
      
      If mobility is not that important to you, an LMG can also replace the assault rifle. The sluggish monsters come with plenty of ammunition in the magazine and also offer very good control in some cases.
      
      Moreover, the lethal combination of sniper/DMR together with an MP is popular. However, with full armor, you can no longer land one-shot headshots in Warzone 2. Therefore, snipers are not considered meta weapons.

      What makes this weapon class special? Assault rifles are the all-rounders of Warzone. Best suited for medium and long distances, but also do not let you down in close combat – when it has to be. It is important that you can put your hits well and have a secure shooting feeling.

        What makes this weapon class special? LMGs are sluggish, slow, and reload forever. But these disadvantages are correspondingly compensated. Light machine guns have huge magazines, often provide a secure shooting feeling, and some models are among the highest damage.

        What makes this weapon class special? Warzone 2 offers two different types of DMRs. Weapons like the SP-R 208 or the Lockwood have a low fire rate and behave more like snipers. The EBR-14 or the TAQ-M behave more like battle rifles with higher fire rates.
        
        Ultimately, both types deliver high damage and good control for the range.

        What makes this weapon class special? Sniper rifles deliver the highest damage in the game. A large sight, a few attachments for stability, and you can go on a headshot hunt. But beware: if enemies have more than 2 armor plates, headshots are no longer lethal.

        What is meta in Warzone 2? Best weapons for the battle royale
        
        Is there currently an over-weapon in Warzone 2? No.
        
        List of best weapons in Warzone
        
        Assault Rifle: STG44
        
        Submachine Gun: Static-HV
        
        LMG: TAQ Eradicator
        
        DMR: KAR 98k
        
        Sniper: KATT-AMR
        
        What are the best Warzone weapons? There are always outliers in some weapon classes. But generally, assault rifles are considered the best weapons in Warzone, along with a mobile submachine gun.
        
        Good range paired with decent damage, plus mobility is usually fine and you are not completely helpless in close combat.
        
        Assault rifles are supposed to take targets at medium and long range into focus and provide maximum “help” in close combat. Therefore, a submachine gun is suitable as a secondary weapon. With the little MP in hand, you run faster, are quicker in focus, and deal more damage in close combat.
        
        If mobility is not that important to you, an LMG can also replace the assault rifle. The sluggish monsters come with plenty of ammunition in the magazine and also offer very good control in some cases.
        
        Moreover, the lethal combination of sniper/DMR together with an MP is popular. However, with full armor, you can no longer land one-shot headshots in Warzone 2. Therefore, snipers are not considered meta weapons.

        Muzzle: Quartermaster suppressor
        
        What makes this weapon class special? Assault rifles are the all-rounders of Warzone. Best suited for medium and long distances, but also do not let you down in close combat – when it has to be. It is important that you can put your hits well and have a secure shooting feeling.

        Muzzle: Quartermaster suppressor
        
        Underbarrel: DR-6 Handstop
        
        What makes this weapon class special? Submachine guns are the close combat specialists, quickly losing damage at range, but are absolutely deadly at short distances. They also offer strong mobility values – so switch to the small weapons when you want to quickly move from A to B.

        List of best weapons in Warzone
        
        Assault Rifle: STG44
        
        Submachine Gun: Static-HV
        
        LMG: TAQ Eradicator
        
        DMR: KAR 98k
        
        Sniper: KATT-AMR
        
        What are the best Warzone weapons? There are always outliers in some weapon classes. But generally, assault rifles are considered the best weapons in Warzone, along with a mobile submachine gun.
        
        Good range paired with decent damage, plus mobility is usually fine and you are not completely helpless in close combat.
        
        Assault rifles are supposed to take targets at medium and long range into focus and provide maximum “help” in close combat. Therefore, a submachine gun is suitable as a secondary weapon. With the little MP in hand, you run faster, are quicker in focus, and deal more damage in close combat.
        
        If mobility is not that important to you, an LMG can also replace the assault rifle. The sluggish monsters come with plenty of ammunition in the magazine and also offer very good control in some cases.
        
        Moreover, the lethal combination of sniper/DMR together with an MP is popular. However, with full armor, you can no longer land one-shot headshots in Warzone 2. Therefore, snipers are not considered meta weapons.

        What makes this weapon class special? Assault rifles are the all-rounders of Warzone. Best suited for medium and long distances, but also do not let you down in close combat – when it has to be. It is important that you can put your hits well and have a secure shooting feeling.

        What makes this weapon class special? Submachine guns are the close combat specialists, quickly losing damage at range, but are absolutely deadly at short distances. They also offer strong mobility values – so switch to the small weapons when you want to quickly move from A to B.

        What makes this weapon class special? Warzone 2 offers two different types of DMRs. Weapons like the SP-R 208 or the Lockwood have a low fire rate and behave more like snipers. The EBR-14 or the TAQ-M behave more like battle rifles with higher fire rates.

        Reclaimer 18
        
        Fixed an issue causing inconsistent damage dealt to enemies in both fire types.
        
        Semi-Auto Fire Type
        
        Increased fire rate from 182rpm to 200rpm (+10%).

        Increased hipfire near-medium damage from 20 to 25 (+25%).
        
        Using the Pump Action Fire Type, the Reclaimer 18 is now capable of killing enemies with one shot within its maximum damage range, and 2-shot kills are now more consistent.

        Decreased rate of fire from 545rpm to 272rpm (-50%).
        
        COR-45 Trigger Action Attachments were previously more beneficial than intended. Due to negligible downsides, fire rate increases are generally kept below 50%. We’ll continue to monitor player feedback for potential improvements to base Handguns.

        What is meta in Warzone 2? Best weapons for the battle royale
        
        Is there currently an over-weapon in Warzone 2? No.
        
        List of best weapons in Warzone
        
        Assault Rifle: STG44
        
        Submachine Gun: Static-HV
        
        LMG: TAQ Eradicator
        
        DMR: KAR 98k
        
        Sniper: KATT-AMR
        
        What are the best Warzone weapons? There are always outliers in some weapon classes. But generally, assault rifles are considered the best weapons in Warzone, along with a mobile submachine gun.
        
        Good range paired with decent damage, plus mobility is usually fine and you are not completely helpless in close combat.
        
        Assault rifles are supposed to take targets at medium and long range into focus and provide maximum “help” in close combat. Therefore, a submachine gun is suitable as a secondary weapon. With the little MP in hand, you run faster, are quicker in focus, and deal more damage in close combat.
        
        If mobility is not that important to you, an LMG can also replace the assault rifle. The sluggish monsters come with plenty of ammunition in the magazine and also offer very good control in some cases.
        
        Moreover, the lethal combination of sniper/DMR together with an MP is popular. However, with full armor, you can no longer land one-shot headshots in Warzone 2. Therefore, snipers are not considered meta weapons.

        Muzzle: Quartermaster suppressor
        
        What makes this weapon class special? Assault rifles are the all-rounders of Warzone. Best suited for medium and long distances, but also do not let you down in close combat – when it has to be. It is important that you can put your hits well and have a secure shooting feeling.

        What makes this weapon class special? Submachine guns are the close combat specialists, quickly losing damage at range, but are absolutely deadly at short distances. They also offer strong mobility values – so switch to the small weapons when you want to quickly move from A to B.

        What makes this weapon class special? Warzone 2 offers two different types of DMRs. Weapons like the SP-R 208 or the Lockwood have a low fire rate and behave more like snipers. The EBR-14 or the TAQ-M behave more like battle rifles with higher fire rates.
        
        Ultimately, both types deliver high damage and good control for the range.

        What is meta in Warzone 2? Best weapons for the battle royale
        
        Is there currently an over-weapon in Warzone 2? No.
        
        List of best weapons in Warzone
        
        Assault Rifle: STG44
        
        Submachine Gun: Static-HV
        
        LMG: TAQ Eradicator
        
        DMR: KAR 98k
        
        Sniper: KATT-AMR
        
        What are the best Warzone weapons? There are always outliers in some weapon classes. But generally, assault rifles are considered the best weapons in Warzone, along with a mobile submachine gun.
        
        Good range paired with decent damage, plus mobility is usually fine and you are not completely helpless in close combat.
        
        Assault rifles are supposed to take targets at medium and long range into focus and provide maximum “help” in close combat. Therefore, a submachine gun is suitable as a secondary weapon. With the little MP in hand, you run faster, are quicker in focus, and deal more damage in close combat.
        
        If mobility is not that important to you, an LMG can also replace the assault rifle. The sluggish monsters come with plenty of ammunition in the magazine and also offer very good control in some cases.
        
        Moreover, the lethal combination of sniper/DMR together with an MP is popular. However, with full armor, you can no longer land one-shot headshots in Warzone 2. Therefore, snipers are not considered meta weapons.

        What makes this weapon class special? Assault rifles are the all-rounders of Warzone. Best suited for medium and long distances, but also do not let you down in close combat – when it has to be. It is important that you can put your hits well and have a secure shooting feeling.

        What makes this weapon class special? Submachine guns are the close combat specialists, quickly losing damage at range, but are absolutely deadly at short distances. They also offer strong mobility values – so switch to the small weapons when you want to quickly move from A to B.

        What is meta in Warzone 2? Best weapons for the battle royale
        
        Is there currently an over-weapon in Warzone 2? No.
        
        List of best weapons in Warzone
        
        Assault Rifle: STG44
        
        Submachine Gun: Static-HV
        
        LMG: TAQ Eradicator
        
        DMR: KAR 98k
        
        Sniper: KATT-AMR
        
        What are the best Warzone weapons? There are always outliers in some weapon classes. But generally, assault rifles are considered the best weapons in Warzone, along with a mobile submachine gun.
        
        Good range paired with decent damage, plus mobility is usually fine and you are not completely helpless in close combat.
        
        Assault rifles are supposed to take targets at medium and long range into focus and provide maximum “help” in close combat. Therefore, a submachine gun is suitable as a secondary weapon. With the little MP in hand, you run faster, are quicker in focus, and deal more damage in close combat.
        
        If mobility is not that important to you, an LMG can also replace the assault rifle. The sluggish monsters come with plenty of ammunition in the magazine and also offer very good control in some cases.
        
        Moreover, the lethal combination of sniper/DMR together with an MP is popular. However, with full armor, you can no longer land one-shot headshots in Warzone 2. Therefore, snipers are not considered meta weapons.
        
        CoD Warzone 2: The best assault rifle – STG44
        
        CoD Warzone 2: STG44 Setup
        
        Magazine: 50-shot drum
        
        Stock: DR79 Combo Stock
        
        Sight: Corio Eagleseye 2.5X
        
        Barrel: Long Heinrichter C70 barrel
        
        Muzzle: Quartermaster suppressor
        
        What makes this weapon class special? Assault rifles are the all-rounders of Warzone. Best suited for medium and long distances, but also do not let you down in close combat – when it has to be. It is important that you can put your hits well and have a secure shooting feeling.

        CoD Warzone 2: Static-HV Setup
        
        Stock: Lightweight SPRY 34 stock
        
        Sight: JAK Glassless Sight
        
        Barrel: Lightweight Auger 840 barrel
        
        Muzzle: Quartermaster suppressor
        
        Underbarrel: DR-6 Handstop
        
        What makes this weapon class special? Submachine guns are the close combat specialists, quickly losing damage at range, but are absolutely deadly at short distances. They also offer strong mobility values – so switch to the small weapons when you want to quickly move from A to B.

        CoD Warzone 2: The best LMG – TAQ Eradicator
        
        CoD Warzone 2: TAQ Eradicator Setup
        
        Stock: Tacverte Core stock
        
        Sight: JAK Glassless Sight
        
        Barrel: Long Conquer-70 barrel
        
        Muzzle: Quartermaster suppressor
        
        Underbarrel: Heavy Bruen support grip
        
        What makes this weapon class special? LMGs are sluggish, slow, and reload forever. But these disadvantages are correspondingly compensated. Light machine guns have huge magazines, often provide a secure shooting feeling, and some models are among the highest damage.

        Barrel: Long Precision Rifle 762 barrel
        
        Muzzle: Suppressor (SCRATCH 20-L)
        
        Ammo: 7.92x57mm High Caliber
        
        What makes this weapon class special? Warzone 2 offers two different types of DMRs. Weapons like the SP-R 208 or the Lockwood have a low fire rate and behave more like snipers. The EBR-14 or the TAQ-M behave more like battle rifles with higher fire rates.
        
        Ultimately, both types deliver high damage and good control for the range.
        
        Alternatives
        
        No recommendations at the moment – rather take a look at the snipers if you are looking for something with range
        
        CoD Warzone 2: The best sniper – KATT-AMR
        
        CoD Warzone 2: KATT-AMR Setup
        
        Bolt: Fast Ephemeral Bolt
        
        Stock: Tactical Stock Pad
        
        Barrel: Zang-34 barrel
        
        Muzzle: Sonic Suppressor XL
        
        Ammo: Caliber 50 High Caliber
        
        What makes this weapon class special? Sniper rifles deliver the highest damage in the game. A large sight, a few attachments for stability, and you can go on a headshot hunt. But beware: if enemies have more than 2 armor plates, headshots are no longer lethal.
        
        Alternatives
