These are the best weapons to use in Call of Duty: Warzone Season 6

If you want to secure victory in Call of Duty’s Warzone, you need the best weapons. Everyone else is already using them, so it’s time to level the playing field.

Weapons move up and down the ranks with each passing update and season, but there are always at least a few guns that players flock to when it’s time to drop in for BR matches on Al Mazrah or sweaty Resurgence games on Vondel or Ashika Island.

The weapon meta in Warzone is a fluid one. You really have to stay on top of each update’s patch notes to see which weapon is rising, which is falling, and which you need to have a loadout for when it’s time to stop messing around with the squad and start grabbing Ws.

This is the current meta in Warzone season six.

The TR-76 Geist is the last AR to make it to Warzone from MW2 and as expected, it’s packing one hell of a punch early into season six.

TAQ-56

  • Recoil Smoothness: +1.40oz
  • Bullet Velocity: +1.00in
• Barrel: 17.5″ Tundra Pro Barrel

The choice of Call of Duty League pros everywhere is also the choice of many Warzone stars. The TAQ hits like a truck but struggles a bit at long range and is often passed over for an LMG or sniper rifle.

Best meta SMG in Warzone season six

Lachmann Sub

• Laser: VLK LZR 7MW
• Barrel: L38 Falcon 226mm
• Ammunition: 9mm Overpressured P+
• Magazine: 50 Round Drum
• Rear Grip: Lachmann TCG-10

A go-to SMG of choice in BR right now, the Lachmann Sub excels at close-range and mid-range as well. It dominated in season five, and isn’t stopping anytime soon.

ISO 9mm

• Laser: 1mW Quck Fire Laser
• Optic: Cronen Mini Pro
• Stock: Demo Fade Tac
• Ammunition: 9mm Hollow Point
• Magazine: 50 Round Drum

The ISO 9mm has stormed into second-most-popular among SMGs thanks to its stable recoil and high rate of fire.

ISO 45

• Barrel: 7″ EX Raptor-V2
  • Recoil Steadiness: +0.50 lb
  • Aim Down Sight Speed: -0.40 in
• Optic: Slimline Pro
• Stock: Demo Fade TAC
  • Aim Down Sight Speed: -4.00 oz
  • Aiming Idle Stability: -2.40 in
• Magazine: 45 Round Drum
• Ammunition: .45 Auto Hollowpoint

The ISO 9mm’s cousin, the 45, entered as a true contender for the top spot in season five. It’s dropped a fair way behind now but remains a consistent threat, and is quite effective at medium range with the above setup.

BAS-P

• Muzzle: Spiral V3.5 Flash Hider
  • Aim Down Sight Speed: -1.00 oz
  • Gun Kick Control: +0.40 in
• Laser: VLK LZR 7MW
  • Sprint to Fire Speed: -0.50 oz

• Magazine: 50 Round Drum
• Rear Grip: D37 Grip
  • Aim Down Sight Speed: -1.00 oz
  • Sprint to Fire Speed: -0.45 in

Season five’s buffs did wonders for the BAS-P, an often-forgotten SMG. It’s also dropped off in season six a little but should serve you well if you’ve got a good eye for headshots.

VEL 46

• Muzzle: Bruen Cubic Comp
  • Recoil Stabilization: + 0.80 oz
  • Gun Kick Control: + 0.35 in
• Laser: VLK LZR 7MW

• Rear Grip: Lachmann TCG-10
  • Recoil Steadiness: +1.00 oz
  • Aiming Idle Stability: +0.45 in

A recent addition to the meta, the RAPP H is liked for its consistency and reliability in ranged damage output.

RPK

  • Recoil smoothness: +1.40oz
  • Bullet velocity: +1.00in
• Laser: FSS OLE-V Laser

  • Aiming idle stability: +0.40in
• Ammunition: 7.62 High Velocity
  • Recoil smoothness: -0.70g
  • Recoil steadiness: -9.00gr

The RPK was dominant in Warzone since its launch and it’s still solid, but has since been surpassed thanks to nerfs.

SAKIN MG38

• Muzzle: ZLR Talon 5
  • Recoil Smoothness: +1.40oz
  • Bullet Velocity: +1.00in
• Barrel: 20″ Bruen Silver Series Barrel

  • Close: +1.80in
• Underbarrel: Bruen Warrior LMG
  • Recoil Stabilization: +0.80oz
  • Aiming Idle Stability: +0.40in

After several nerfs to the RPK, this is now a favorite among LMGs in Warzone, but as a whole the LMG group remains quite unpopular.

Best meta sniper rifle in Warzone season six

MCPR-300

• Barrel: 22″ OMX-456
  • Aim Walking Speed: +0.50lb
  • Damage Range: +0.39in
• Muzzle: Nilsound 90
• Optic: Forge Tac Delta 4
  • Aim Down Sight Speed: -2.42oz
  • Far: +0.75in
• Ammunition: .300 Mag Explosive
• Magazine: 5 Round Mag

The MCPR has taken back the top spot in Warzone in season six. Range is a massive focus here, with players prioritizing explosive rounds and mobility as a follow-up.

FJX Imperium

• Laser: VLK LZR 7MW
  • Aim Walking Steadiness: +0.2.1oz
  • Aim Down Sight Speed: -39.00ft
• Ammunition: .408 Explosive
• Rear Grip: Skull-40
  • Aim Down Sight Speed: -0.71oz
  • Aiming Idle Stability: +0.2in
• Optic: Forge Tac Delta 4

The sniper introduced in season three immediately entered the meta thanks to its high damage output, fast re-chambering speed, and pure nostalgia. The Intervention is just like we remembered it from 2009, although possibly even better this time around.

Signal 50

• Barrel: 29″ TV Kilo-50
  • Recoil Steadiness: +0.50lb
  • Aim Down Sight Speed: -0.40in

  • Bullet Velocity: +9.00gr
• Rear Grip: SA Finesse Grip
  • Aim Down Sight Speed: -1.00oz
  • Aiming Idle Stability: +0.45oz

Snipers aren’t quite as strong in Warzone as they were in the original game, but the Signal 50 is still one of the best choices for long-range kills on Al Mazrah when it comes to sniper rifles.

Best meta shotgun in Warzone season six

Lockwood 300

• Muzzle: Sakin DB 107
• Barrel: Matuzek 812 Barrel
• Laser: Schlager ULO-66 Laser
• Stock: Heist Stock Mod
• Trigger Action: Maelstrom Dual Trigger

Welcome back, Lockwood. This close-range monster has a tighter pellet spread and maximum range, and the new Dual Trigger means if anyone gets close, you’ll be blasting them into the Gulag.

KV Broadside

• Muzzle: XTEN Full Choke
• Barrel: ZLR Sport-8
• Laser: VLK LZR 7MW
• Magazine: 25 Shell Drum
• Rear Grip: Brace LS

The newest shotgun in Warzone is also its deadliest. Equipped with a seemingly never-ending 25-round magazine and ridiculous range, this nearly full-auto shotgun clears out small buildings like nothing else can.
