Looking for the best Warzone weapon gear? Now that the Vanguard Royale and Battle Royale playlists have been merged into a single battle royale game, that means there are over 100 different weapons in the game from which to pick the perfect drop.
Despite the abundance of loot on the ground in the hot zones of the Caldera, you will need a reliable weapon to help you eliminate opponents while you try to outrun the oncoming gas cloud. Using the class creation system from Warzone's Vanguard multiplayer mode, you can customize your weapons with attachments, tactical gear, and perks to create the best Warzone gear.
Our top Warzone weapon loadouts differ from our favorite Vanguard multiplayer loadouts as they are optimized for Caldera's expansive environment. Not only do the weapons in Warzone have modified stats, but we also have to consider Warzone armor plates and the additional number of players. We've used our extensive knowledge of Warzone to bring you our winning prowess - use our best Warzone gear to dominate your opponents.
We didn't include information about perks and gear because most players tend to use the same set: EOD, Overkill and Amped along with C4 and a heartbeat sensor. If you feel like trying something different, we highly recommend the following set: Quick Fix, Restock and Amped with Snapshot Grenade and Throwing Knife.

EM2 and PPSh Warzone equipment
The EM2 assault rifle has been one of the most popular weapons for a long time, but we'll forgive you if you didn't get along with it initially.

Grau and RA 225 Warzone weapon upgrades
Weapons like the Grau can be as powerful as heavy assault rifles like the AK-47, but it takes the right type of player to take advantage of the low recoil and high bullet velocity. Grau's best gear has been recently improved in the Season 5 update, making it a great weapon for Warzone newcomers.
- Monolithic Suppressor
- Tempus 26.4″ Archangel
- Foregrip Commando
- VLK 3.0x Optical
- 60 round mags
The RA 225 may seem like a high-risk, high-reward weapon due to the recoil you have to put up with when firing a magazine. Our top-of-the-line RA 225 keeps recoil to a minimum while maintaining the weapon's incredible mobility, making it easy to run past enemies.

Heavy sniper rifles such as the ZRG 20mm have been upgraded to make them very effective at long range. Combine this with the best ZRG charge, and you get a weapon with an aiming speed similar to the Swiss K31, but with incredible ZRG damage. This is by far the best sniper rifle in Warzone right now, be sure to check it out if you want to take out enemies from afar.

This weapon was designed for long-range combat, giving players an excellent opportunity to observe opponents from a distance. The latest balance update has increased the muzzle velocity of the Vargo S by 35%, further improving the weapon's long-range capabilities.

HDR and XM4 sniper rifles for Warzone
It's taken a few months, but it looks like sniper rifles are finally making their way into the Warzone meta. HDR in particular is arguably the best option for long-range shooting, featuring lightning-fast bullet speeds and very low bullet drop. The best HDR setting makes for the perfect weapon for picking off enemies, but you'll want to hit the head straight as it can be difficult to get a second shot in a row.
- Monolithic Suppressor
- Laser Tac
- 26.9″ HDR Pro
- FTAC Stalker-Scout
- FMJ
The XM4 is a staple weapon in Warzone thanks to its versatility giving you three different ways to build an assault rifle. Our top take on the XM4 aims to build a support sniper weapon that can easily take out enemies when they start to get too close. What sets this assault rifle apart from other sniper support options is that the XM4 is as strong as it is mobile.
- Agency Suppressor
- 13.7”
- Visiontech 2x
- Field Agent Grip
- STANAG 60 Rnd
HDR and XM4 are a deadly combination that allows you to always maintain the edge, no matter how far away you are fighting. Now that the meta has become geared towards long-range combat, it is important to have the tools to fight at any range.
Kar98k MW and Milano Warzone gear
The best sniper rifle in Warzone used to be the Kar98k, but balance changes in Warzone Season 3 put an end to that weapon's long reign. However, if you are looking for a lightweight sniper for aggressive combat on the battlefield, there is nothing better than the Kar98k. The main problem with this weapon is that it now requires at least two shots to hit an enemy - if you can overcome this problem, the Kar98k is still a great weapon in the right hands.
- sniper scope
- Monolithic Suppressor
- Singuard Custom 27.6″
- Laser Tac
- FTAC Sport Comb
Of all the weapons in the Warzone meta, the Milano 821 is the latest SMG that many believe will soon become dominant. The Milano 821 is very similar to the XM4 - it can be assembled in a variety of ways to become a staple in any of your favorite loadouts. Paired with the Kar98k, we chose the Milano variant for close range to take down anyone trying to flank you.
- Agency Suppressor
- 10.6" Task Force
- Tiger Team Spotlight
- Stock Raider
- STANAG 55 Round Drum
Try this pistol if you consider yourself a mobile sniper - you can stay agile without worrying about nearby enemies. Currently, Milano is too good to ignore, thanks to its incredible mobility combined with excellent accuracy and damage.
Kilo 141 and Armaguerra 43 Warzone equipment
After months of being dead and buried, the Kilo 141 has been revived in the Season 4 Reloaded balance patch, bringing its damage in line with the rest of the meta assault rifles. The last balance update lowered the minimum damage from 23 to 22, but it's still a great weapon thanks to the low recoil. Use our best Kilo 141 customization to see why so many players are returning to this classic assault rifle.
- Monolithic Suppressor
- Singuard Arms 19.8″ Prowler
- Foregrip Commando
- VLK 3.0x Optical
- 60 round mags
Introduced in Warzone Season 2 Reloaded, the Armaguerra 43 is a melee monster in the right hands. The main thing to be careful with is the Armaguerra 43's incredible fire rate, as this SMG burns through bullets very quickly.
- recoil booster
- Botti 570mm Precisione
- Slate Reflector
- Imerito SA Folding
- Mark VI Skeletal
- .30 Russian Short 34 Round Mags
- lengthened
- leather grip
- Sleight of Hand
- on-hand
We recommend this modification to players who want to be able to attack enemies from a distance without resorting to using a sniper rifle. Armaguerra 43 provides confidence if the enemy gets too close.
STG44 and H4 Blixen Warzone gear
If you've played Call of Duty Vanguard, it shouldn't surprise you that the STG44 is very good in Warzone. The STG44 is lethal up close thanks to its impressive rate of fire, and with a 3,25x scope it can handle medium range as well. Don't let Season 4 nerfs keep you from choosing this great weapon.

- VDD 760mm 05B
- 1229/Slate 3.25x Custom
- VDD 34S Weighted

- recoil booster
- Jonsson 9" RMK
- Slate Reflector
- Removed Stock
- Mark VI Skeletal
