Best Warzone guns - the top weapons for the current meta

What are the best guns in Warzone? Warzone has evolved several times over the past few years, swapping out the maps, weapons, and gameplay mechanics depending on the latest Call of Duty release. With Verdansk back and better than ever, it pays to know what the best weapons are so you can dominate your games.

Long-time fans know just how intense the battle royale game can get, and those who want the biggest advantage in the field need to know which are the meta weapons and which should be left well alone. Since the release of Verdansk, the new seasonal weapons have unsurprisingly dominated the scene. Here are our picks for the best weapons in Warzone right now.

The best Warzone guns right now are:

• Ladra
• HDR
• Kilo 141
• AMAX
• AK-74
• Kar98k

Ladra

The Ladra is an SMG with an extreme rate of fire and surprising controllability. It thrives in close-range encounters but can be used in the mid-range at a pinch. The Ladra is best when paired with a long-range option like the HDR or the AMAX. Check out our best Ladra setup here if you need the ideal attachments.

HDR

The HDR is the only real option you have for long-range sniping. This isn't a bad thing, though, as it has an infinite one-shot down range, surprisingly fast ADS speed, and exceptional bullet velocity. It's difficult not to be running a loadout without the HDR these days. We have the best HDR setup here if you want to know how to get the most from this devastating sniper rifle.

Kilo 141

The Kilo made its return with Verdansk, and players have been flocking to this highly reliable assault rifle in droves. With a few attachments, you have an exceptional mid-range beamer on your hands, and the perfect accompaniment to the HDR. Check out our best Kilo 141 setup here for the meta attachments.

AMAX

Another returning weapon, the AMAX is a slow-firing but hard-hitting assault rifle capable of causing damage over a surprising range. Go without a scope for a punchy sniper support, or throw a 3x on there to dominate the mid-range. Our best AMAX setup has the best attachments for this deadly AR.

AK-74

The Verdansk update saw a resurgence of an overlooked BO6 weapon: the AK-74. Clean iron sights and one of the fastest TTKs make the AK-74 a formidable sniper support weapon or an aggressive primary for those who like to push the pace. Our best AK-74 setup shows you the best attachments for this devastating assault rifle.

Kar98k

If you prefer sniping with something a little less clunky, then the MW3 Kar98k is still going strong as the best Marksman rifle for sniping at medium distance. The one-shot potential isn't as potent as the HDR, but you can still dominate with this classic. Check out our best Kar98k loadout for the meta attachments.

We'll keep an eye on what everyone's using to dominate in the free PC game and keep adding to this list. In the meantime, check out what's coming with the next Warzone season content drop.
