What kind of weapon class is this? Range assault rifles should provide you safe kills. Here you will find a “laser” that may not deal the highest damage but comes with low recoil.
What makes the Grau 5.56 strong? The assault rifle was the overpowered weapon shortly after the release of Warzone in the summer and has been popular ever since. Despite some nerfs, many players still like to reach for this stable device.
Its biggest advantage over other lasers is the very good metal sight on the Archangel barrel. It provides good visibility even at long distances and saves you an attachment. This way you can take the strong tactical laser.
Alternatives:
Cold War: FARA 83 – The most stable range assault rifle of the CW era
Vanguard: Cooper Carbine – A very stable option, but with slightly less damage
Rebirth Island: XM4 – The best Assault Rifle with Damage
CoD Warzone: XM4 Setup
- Muzzle: Agency Suppressor
- Barrel: 13.5″ Task Force
- Optic: Axial Arms 3x
- Underbarrel: Field Agent Grip
- Magazine: STANAG 60 Round

What kind of weapon class is this? If you can handle some recoil, then reach for an assault rifle with damage. While we don’t list any “lasers” here, we do include controllable assault rifles where it is worthwhile to endure a little recoil.
What makes the XM4 strong? The Cold War-era assault rifle deals a lot of damage compared to class competition and remains manageable. Another strong alternative from the Cold War arsenal is the AK-47.
Alternatives:
- Vanguard: AS44 – High damage, but mastering it requires practice
- CoD MW: Oden – Slow fire rate and small magazines – But heavy damage
Rebirth Island: Owen Gun – The best Submachine Gun

What kind of weapon class is this? Fast close combat fighters with high mobility. A submachine gun handles the rough tasks up to 10, 15 meters. The weapons lose damage quickly beyond that.
What makes the Owen Gun strong? The submachine gun from Vanguard currently stands out a bit from the competition. It offers a lot of damage, good range, and plays pleasantly.
Currently, no alternatives can compete easily against the Owen Gun. If you do not like the weapon or only play weapons from the old CoD installments, there are options that are not too far off. But in a close fight, every millisecond counts, and the Owen Gun wins.
Despite small nerfs in Season 3, further reductions may be on the way.
Alternatives:
- Cold War: LAPA – Very good mobility, less damage
- Cold War: OTs 9 – Very good mobility, but low range
- CoD MW: MP5 – Good damage, but no top mobility
- Vanguard: Welgun – Better mobility, less damage
- Vanguard: MP40 – Still a popular and strong option
Rebirth Island: Kar 98k from CoD MW – The best Sniper Rifle
Rebirth Island: Kar 98k from CoD MW Setup
- Muzzle: Monolithic Suppressor
- Barrel: Singuard Custom 27.6″
- Laser: Tac Laser
- Optic: Sniper Scope
- Stock: FTAC Sport Comb

What kind of weapon class is this? Sniper rifles give you the ability for “one-shots” – a headshot takes the opponent down immediately. Therefore, these weapons are very popular despite their sluggishness.
Since Season 3 / 2022, however, some sniper rifles only deliver a one-shot headshot in the first damage range. Here you can read which ones those are.
What makes the Kar 98k strong? The Kar 98k from CoD MW has long been the best sniper rifle in Warzone, sharing this spot with the Swiss K31. They offer a comparatively low aim time and are even somewhat snappy.
If you play with a controller, the Kar 98k is your choice. On PC, the Swiss K31 takes control. Here you can read why there are differences.
Please note: After the sniper changes of Season 3, the meta of sniper rifles is in flux. It remains to be seen whether the big sniper rifles with infinite range for headshots will take over or whether the more mobile models will remain in vogue.
Alternatives:
- CoD MW: HDR – Headshots at all distances
- Cold War: Swiss K31 – Similarly strong as the Kar 98k
- Cold War: ZRG 20mm – Headshots at all distances
- Vanguard: Three-Line Rifle – Headshots at all distances
Rebirth Island: Bren – The best Light Machine Gun (LMG)
Rebirth Island: Bren Setup
- Muzzle: MX Silencer

What kind of weapon class is this? LMGs stand for high range, strong damage, large magazines, and poor mobility. If you can cope with the “clumsiness”, they are reliable companions.
What makes the Bren strong? The LMG from Vanguard impresses with its damage. You have large magazines and hit hard.
After some nerfs, the Bren no longer stands at the top of the food chain, but it still hits hard and outperforms many competitors at range. However, the weight of the weapon is noticeable.
Alternatives:
- Cold War: Stoner 63 – A nice stable LMG with 200 round magazines
- MW: Bruen Mk9 – Has assault rifle setup, time-to-kill remains the same at distance (chest shots)
With the setups in the article, you can’t go wrong. However, also try out a little and adapt the weapons to your play style. Regularly try other weapons – you might find alternatives that suit you even better.
Because not every weapon that is currently considered the best will fit 100% for you. What matters is that you can hit your targets accurately and that the weapon gives you confidence.
