 The 10 best guns and tips for fitting them


The balance of weapons, shooting features, and other elements of the gunplay in the relaunch of the royal battle of Warzone have undergone quite significant changes. Almost all barrels have become less accurate and many now do less damage at long range, which more marked the difference between classes. However, among the variety of weapons in Warzone 2.0, players still found the 10 most reliable models that will not let you down in most situations.


Next, we talk about the best weapons in different categories and give advice on how to properly refine them in the weapons workshop.


The best assault rifles in Warzone 2.0

Assault rifles are characterized by balanced characteristics. They are most suitable for the medium range, but some samples perform well at the long range. In the Russian classification, assault rifles roughly correspond to machine guns.


STB 556 is probably the best weapon in the game

STB 556 is probably the best weapon in the game

An incredibly deadly automatic carbine that, with the right attachments, is also virtually recoilless. The latter makes it effective even at a long distance. A high rate of fire, coupled with high damage in the torso, allows you to spend less time aiming, which is important when shooting close and at medium distances.

Recommended build:

  • Muzzle: Harbinger D20
  • Barrel: 24.4” Bruen S-620
  • Underbarrel : FTAC Ripper 56
  • Bar: Bruen TS-30
  • Optics: SZ Holotherm

M4 - a living classic

M4 - a living classic

Well known to everyone "Emka" with a simple and understandable spray. It is easy to accurately shoot from it at medium and close range, and due to the rate of fire, it will be possible to quickly kill the enemy. But at long range, accuracy drops, and damage from one hit is low.

Recommended build:

  • Muzzle: XTEN Havoc 90
  • Barrel: 20” Hightower
  • Underbarrel : FTAC Ripper 56
  • Ammo: 5.56 High Velocity
  • Optics: SZ Holotherm

Kastov-762 - the good old killer "Kalash"

Kastov-762 - the good old killer "Kalash"

One of the most powerful assault rifles in the game. In stock, strong spread and recoil can ruin everything, but they can be softened with the right attachments. After that, "Kastov-762" will become effective even at long distances - single shots kill with 2 hits in the head and 3 in the body.

Recommended build:

  • Muzzle: TY-LR8
  • Barrel: IG-K30 406mm
  • Underbarrel : FTAC Ripper 56
  • Ammo: 7.62 High Velocity
  • Optics: Cronen Mini Pro

Kastov-74U - a shortened version of the "Kalash"

Kastov-74U - a shortened version of the "Kalash"

A more mobile version of the Kastov, closer to submachine guns. More suitable for short and medium distances. Sometimes you can even hit on the run, and high damage and increased rate of fire will quickly destroy even an armored enemy.

Recommended build:

  • Barrel: Shorttac 330mm
  • Grenade: Phase-3 Grip
  • Ammo: 5.45 High Velocity
  • Store: 45 rounds
  • Optics: Cronen Mini Pro

The best submachine guns in Warzone 2.0

Submachine guns are the younger brothers of light machine guns, outwardly resembling submachine guns with shorter barrel. On the spacious Warzone maps, they practically replace the shotgun class, as they are more versatile and perform well not only at close range but also at medium range due to low dispersion and good accuracy. In addition, their low weight makes them easier to maneuver in combat.

FSS Hurricane is the best mobile weapon in the game

FSS Hurricane is the best mobile weapon in the game

The most accurate submachine gun in Warzone 2.0. This makes it very effective not only at close range but also at medium range. And the right equipment almost completely removes recoil. True, the damage per hit is low, so sometimes you have to land an entire magazine on the enemy.

Recommended build:

  • Muzzle: AVR-T90 Comp
  • Barrel: FSS Cannonade 16”
  • Underbarrel : FTAC Ripper 56
  • Stock: Assault-60 Stock Factory
  • Optics: Cronen Mini Pro

Lachmann-Sub - good old MP5

Lachmann-Sub - good old MP5

The most balanced submachine gun in the game. Accurate, fast-firing, and deadly at the same time. True, the efficiency drops already at an average distance, so it is better to use it indoors.

Recommended build:
  • Muzzle: AVR-T90 Comp
  • Laser: VLK LZR 7MW
  • Grenade: Phase-3 grip
  • Store: 40 rounds
  • Stock: FT Mobile Stock

The best light machine gun in Warzone 2.0 - Raal

The best light machine gun in Warzone 2.0 - Raal

This class is one of the most deadly but is more suitable for defense. Light machine guns are quick-firing and lethal, but they greatly restrict movement and take an extremely long time to reload. The latter is compensated by the huge ammunition store.

And since light machine guns should be used only in defense, it is logical to stop at the most powerful model - the Raal machine gun. He kills in the body in just 5 hits, even an enemy with 3 armor plates (250 health). And after that, a few dozen more rounds of ammunition will remain in the store.

Recommended build:

  • Muzzle: Cronen DM338
  • Barrel: Side Grip SA
  • Ammunition: .338 Mag High Velocity
  • Shop: 50 Round Belt Mag
  • Optics: SZ Holotherm

Best Infantry Rifle in Warzone 2.0 - SP-R 208

Best Infantry Rifle in Warzone 2.0 - SP-R 208

In the realities of the game, infantry rifles are a lighter version of sniper rifles, sharpened for medium range, which makes them more versatile. Their advantage is high accuracy and lethal force. You can attach optics to some, which will bring them closer to sniper ones.

For ambush tactics from bushes or rooftops, the SP-R 208 is best. It has the highest single-hit damage and almost always kills in one headshot.

Recommended build:

  • Barrel: 18.5″ XRK Resonate
  • Ammo: 7.62 High Velocity
  • Store: 15 rounds
  • Bolt: Bolt FSS ST87
  • Optics: Schlager 4X

The best sniper rifles in Warzone 2.0

Everyone knows what a sniper rifle is: we climb higher and shoot those who are distracted from afar. Sniper rifles use the most deadly bullet shells, capable of laying down hundreds of meters with one hit. However, the sniper can be seen by the reflection of the optics, which is important not only for the victim, but also for the “hunter” himself.

"Victus" XMR - the most lethal "sniper"

"Victus" XMR - the most lethal "sniper"

"Victus" always kills even a fully armored enemy with one headshot, and almost always in the body. With accuracy, even at ultra-long distances, it is also in full order. True, the Victus has a rather low rate of fire, but a second shot is rarely needed.

Recommended build:

  • Muzzle: Bruen Counter-Ops
  • Barrel: Mack 8 33.5 Super
  • Laser: VLK LZR 7MW
  • Ammunition: .50 Cal High Velocity
  • Rear Grip: Bruen Q900 Grip

Signal-50 - the fastest "sniper"

Signal-50 - the fastest "sniper"

Sometimes a long-range rifle also requires a rate of fire. For example, if you are not playing alone, but against squads or in DMZ mode. Assault rifles could help out, but they are not always equipped with optics and do not have too high one-time damage. Therefore, the best way out here would be something like "Signal-50". It doesn't kill in one hit, but it makes up for it by the fact that the next shot can land quickly.

Recommended build:

  • Barrel: 29" TV Kilo-50
  • Underbarrel : FTAC Ripper 56
  • Store: 7 rounds
  • Stock: FSS Echo
  • Rear handle: SA Finesse Grip

That's all for now. It was interesting for us to understand the weapon aspect of the game, as it is full of details, when each "barrel" has its own character, while resembling a real prototype.
