The best assault rifle loadouts in Warzone

Assault rifles excel in medium to long ranges, making them quite versatile in Warzone. We recommend pairing assault rifles with either an SMG for close range or a sniper rifle to extend your lethal range even further.

Current meta assault rifles in Warzone

The following assault rifles are your best options in Black Ops 6 Warzone:

1. XM4

The XM4 (Black Ops 6) is the current best assault rifle in Warzone, thanks to its high rate of fire, low recoil, and relatively long range - a combination of stats that has proven successful time and time again in Warzone. This is the current meta XM4 loadout in Warzone:

• Muzzle: Compensator
• Barrel: Gain-Twist Barrel
• Optic: Willis 3x
• Stock: Buffer Weight Stock
• Magazine: Extended Mag III
  
  

2. GPR 91

The GPR 91 is similar to the XM4 but hits a bit harder at the cost of more noticeable recoil and a slightly lower rate of fire. If you can control the recoil, however, it’s a great alternative to the XM4. This is the current meta GPR 91 loadout in Warzone:

• Muzzle: Compensator
• Barrel: Reinforced Barrel
• Underbarrel: Vertical Foregrip
• Optic: Jason Armory 2x
• Magazine: Extended Mag II
  
  

3. AK-74

The AK-74 (Black Ops 6) is one of the fastest-killing assault rifles in Warzone currently. Its high damage output comes at the cost of more recoil and a lower rate of fire, even more so than the GPR 91. The AK-74 is still a great option if you feel comfortable with the recoil and are looking for extra damage output instead of pure rate of fire. This is the current meta AK-74 loadout in Warzone:

• Muzzle: Compensator
• Barrel: Reinforced Barrel
• Underbarrel: Vertical Foregrip
• Optic: Jason Armory 2x
• Magazine: Extended Mag II
  
  

4. Krig C

The Krig C is another high-rate-of-fire and low-recoil assault rifle, making it a good replacement if you’re looking for something similar to the XM4. This is the current meta Krig C loadout in Warzone:

• Muzzle: Compensator
• Barrel: Reinforced Barrel
• Underbarrel: Vertical Foregrip
• Optic: Accu-Spot Reflex
• Magazine: Extended Mag II
  
  

The best submachine gun (SMG) loadouts in Warzone

SMGs have always been a staple in Warzone, and they remain one of the best weapon classes in Black Ops 6 Warzone. SMGs dominate any close-range gunfight, making them the perfect addition to a loadout with an LMG, sniper rifle, or long-range assault rifle.

Current meta SMGs in Warzone

These are currently the best SMGs in Black Ops 6 Warzone:

1. Jackal PDW

The Jackal PDW is currently the most popular SMG. A combination of a high rate of fire, high damage, high mobility, and low recoil makes it the fastest-killing and most versatile SMG in the game right now. This is the current meta Jackal PDW loadout in Warzone:

• Muzzle: Compensator
• Barrel: Reinforced Barrel
• Underbarrel: Ranger Foregrip
• Stock: Balanced Stock
• Magazine: Extended Mag II
  
  

2. PP-919

The PP-919 is your best SMG pick if you prefer to run a larger magazine, so you don’t have to reload after every kill. It still sports a great rate of fire and low recoil and has clean iron sights, although its time-to-kill is slightly higher than the Jackal PDW. This is the current meta PP-919 loadout in Warzone:

• Muzzle: Compensator
• Barrel: Reinforced Barrel
• Stock: Balanced Stock
• Rear Grip: Commando Grip
• Magazine: Fast Mag I
  
  

3. Kompakt 92

The Kompakt 92 is a great alternative to the Jackal PDW. It has similar stats and really excels in 1v1 fights at close range thanks to its extremely fast fire rate. This is the current meta Kompakt 92 loadout in Warzone:

• Muzzle: Compensator
• Barrel: Reinforced Barrel
• Underbarrel: Vertical Foregrip
• Magazine: Extended Mag III
• Fire Mods: Recoil Springs
  
  

The best light machine gun (LMG) loadouts in Warzone

LMGs have been on the decline ever since the introduction of Black Ops 6 weapons. However, they’re still a solid pick if you prefer raw damage, accuracy, and magazine size over mobility, handling, and reload speeds.

Current meta LMGs in Warzone

These LMGs are the current top picks in Black Ops 6 Warzone:

1. XMG

The XMG can best be described as a larger XM4. It is currently our one and only recommended LMG to run in Warzone, with other options being either too slow in mobility and handling or not as lethal. This is the best XMG loadout in Warzone:

• Muzzle: Compensator
• Barrel: Gain-Twist Barrel
• Underbarrel: Vertical Foregrip
• Stock: Buffer Weight Stock
• Optic: Willis 3x
  
  

The best sniper rifle loadouts in Warzone

Sniper rifles are unique in Warzone because they are lethal at nearly any range and can drop players with just one headshot. If you want to contest other players outside of the regular assault rifle range, a sniper is essential. We recommend combining an SMG or an assault rifle with a sniper rifle to make your loadout more well-rounded for close to medium range.

Current meta sniper rifles in Warzone:

These are the best sniper loadouts in Black Ops 6 Warzone:

1. LR 7.62

The current #1 sniper in Warzone is the LR 7.62, thanks to its impressive damage and range. If you’re going for one-shot kills at practically unlimited range, the LR 7.62 is your pick. This is the meta LR 7.62 loadout in Warzone:

• Barrel: Long Barrel
• Underbarrel: Precision Handguard
• Laser: Target Laser
• Rear Grip: Quickdraw Grip
• Fire Mods: 7.62 NATO Overpressured
  
  

2. LW3A1 Frostline

The LW3A1 offers slightly less damage than the LR 7.62 but provides more mobility. If you want to traverse the map faster and plan on using your sniper rifle for more than solely long-range gunfights, the Frostline is a good alternative, still offering solid one-shot-kill potential. This is the current meta LW3A1 loadout in Warzone:

• Barrel: Long Barrel
• Laser: Target Laser
• Comb: Quickdraw Riser
• Stock Pad: Lightweight Pad
• Fire Mods: 7.62 NATO Overpressured
