8. KATT-AMR
ActivisionThe KATT-AMR is currently one of the best Warzone Sniper Rifles to use, alongside the XRK Stalker, the MW3 weapon is also a great pick thanks to its incredible damage output and range.

This gun is extremely reliable in close to mid-range combat, allowing players more flexibility when it comes to creating their loadouts.
5. XRK Stalker – Best Sniper Rifle in Warzone

Compared to its other one-shot counterpart, the KATT-AMR, this Sniper Rifle boasts great mobility and damage output and resembles the feel of the fan-favorite Kar98k from the first Warzone iteration.
4. WSP-9
ActivisionA fast-firing SMG is always going to be a hot commodity across any of Warzone’s maps, and that stays true with the WSP-9 in Urzikstan and Fortnue’s Keep. This weapon has gained a ton of popularity given the WSP Swarm nerf in the previous season’s update.
This WSP-9 has great damage, a blistering fire rate, and insane damage, making it a force to be reckoned with in close ranges within Warzone Season 2.
3. BAS-B – Best Battle Rifle in Warzone
ActivisionThe BAS-B is one of Warzone’s most popular weapons.

Its great range, damage, and simple recoil pattern make it a perfect alternative to Warzone’s best fully automatic Assault Rifles.
2. AMR9 – Best SMG in Warzone
ActivisionThe AMR9 has a blistering fire rate in Warzone.
Following the Season 2 buffs and nerfs, the AMR9 managed to overtake the HRM-9’s spot as the best SMG in Warzone. After gaining enormous popularity following the WSP Swarm nerf, Season 2 positioned it as the best pick for short-range combat.
This SMG has incredible damage, fire rate, and mobility, which will give you an advantage no matter which map you choose, whether it’s Urzikstan or Fortune’s Keep.
1. RAM-7 – Best gun in Warzone
ActivisionThe RAM-7 is one the most versatile Assault Rifles in the game.
The fan-favorite RAM-7 arrived in the first season of Warzone. Following the weapon changes introduced, and despite its nerf in the Season 2 update, it managed to hold the best weapon in Warzone spot.
This weapon is remarkably user-friendly, boasting swift kill rates and showcasing an impressive headshot multiplier for those with accurate shots.
