The weapon grind in CoD Warzone and Vanguard can be very time-consuming. Luckily, you usually have a lot of time during the holidays. MeinMMO tells you which 4 weapons you should level up first over Christmas. We also tell you their best Warzone setups.
With the Vanguard integration in CoD Warzone, nearly 40 new weapons have been added to the game. With 70 levels per weapon, it can quickly take a lot of time to unlock all attachments for all guns. Although it’s faster to level up the new Vanguard weapons in Vanguard itself, you can also do it in Warzone – even if it’s significantly more cumbersome.
That’s why we tell you which 4 weapons you should focus on during your free hours over the Christmas period. The many patches in a short time are currently constantly changing the meta, but these weapons should remain an excellent choice in both Warzone and Vanguard.
Our attachment recommendations focus on the effectiveness of the weapons in Warzone. The best weapon setups for Vanguard can differ significantly from this. You can see what weapons and setups we recommend in Vanguard here:
1. Bren – The currently best weapon for long distances in Warzone
The Bren is currently a very popular weapon on the tropical island of Caldera. With this setup from YouTuber ModernWarzone, this LMG is super precise at distance. Its other characteristics make it the currently best weapon in Warzone (via YouTube).
The best attachments for Warzone:
- Muzzle: Mercury Silencer
- Barrel: Queen’s 705mm Royal

2. PPSh-41 – The currently best Vanguard SMG for Warzone
The PPSh-41 is currently the best SMG in Call of Duty: Warzone for many players. It dominates especially in close combat. However, it soon reveals some weaknesses. The setup presented here has already received its own article from us before.

3. BAR – The ‘Fully Automatic DMR’
The assault rifle BAR is characterized by its high bullet damage. This is compensated by a slow rate of fire, which is why it rapidly struggles in close combat.

4. MP-40 – The best all-round weapon in Warzone
The MP-40 unlocks immediately in Vanguard. This weapon has been incredibly popular since release. This is due to its seemingly endless versatility and flexibility. This weapon works very well with many setups. Like the BAR, this setup for the MP-40 was also part of our article on the ‘Laser Weapons’ setups. There you will also find a more detailed analysis.
The best attachments for Warzone:
- Muzzle: Recoil Booster
