00:00 Picking the best Warzone guns got a lot harder when Cold War added its arsenal to the line-up.
00:05 There were already plenty of guns to choose from, but with a second game's worth of
00:09 options added into the mix, there's now a lot more to consider.
00:12 A lot of options can be subjective, because if a gun works for you, then who cares what
00:16 other people think?
00:17 However, there's a reason why all the best players tend to turn up with the same weapons,
00:21 and coming up we'll filter out some top-tier choices for every playstyle and situation.
00:26 The Fara 83 arrived in Verdansk as part of Cold War Season 2 and quickly started to win
00:31 people over.
00:32 It packs the highest damage of the assault rifle class, and while its speed, accuracy
00:36 and ammo aren't at the top, it's a solid option before you even add any attachments,
00:40 thanks to its controllable recoil and a significant punch.
00:44 Because it covers both medium and long ranges well, attachments like the SUSAT multi-zoom
00:48 optic are essential, while speed tape on the handle to boost aim down sight speed and a
00:52 tactical stop to increase your aim movement speed give you another advantage.
00:57 The M16 is a great option because it's powerful and the burst fire makes it incredibly accurate
01:02 at distance.
01:03 So, while you might have to keep pulling the trigger to keep that fire up, you only need
01:06 to land two hits to down most enemies, and those three round bursts keep that accuracy
01:11 high.
01:12 Its strengths are best played at longer ranges, so use attachments like the VisionTech 2x
01:16 optic and the 0.5 Task Force barrel to boost damage, range and bullet velocity.
01:22 The Kar98k is a marksman rifle that feels like a sniper.
01:25 A lot of the time in Warzone you'll be fighting at medium to long range, which is exactly
01:29 the best time to use the Kar.
01:31 It features fast aim down sight speeds, high damage and can be used to secure long range
01:35 eliminations.
01:36 Even if you don't fully down or eliminate your opponent, the weapon deals high enough
01:40 damage that it will stop anyone in their tracks, freeing you up to restock on plates, reload
01:44 or letting you get to cover.
01:47 Serving as a superb companion weapon to any sniper or long range option, the MAK-10 is
01:51 an SMG that packs a serious punch.
01:54 Even after getting severely nerfed shortly after it arrived, the MAK-10 is still a force
01:58 to be reckoned with, thanks to its extremely high rate of fire.
02:02 Other weapons simply cannot compete with it up close.
02:04 You won't win any fights from a distance though, as that fire rate makes for some crazy
02:08 recoil.
02:09 But slap on a silencer and a 53 round mag and you will be unstoppable up close.
02:13 LMGs are often overlooked in Warzone, but when used well they can be extremely dangerous.
02:19 The Stoner 63 is one of the best options in its class, a high damage, easy to control
02:24 light machine gun that plays more like an assault rifle, just with more ammo in its
02:28 clip.
02:29 It's perfect for taking out vehicles or multiple enemies at once.
02:32 Like all LMGs, the Stoner is very slow, particularly with its aim down sight speed, but you can
02:37 improve things with the right attachments.
02:39 The main thing to keep in mind is that this weapon works well at medium to long range,
02:43 thanks to its high damage and relatively low recoil.
02:46 The CR 56 AMAX is one of the best well-rounded weapons in all of Warzone.
02:50 It features high headshot damage, more than a lot of other assault rifles, and excels
02:54 at medium to long range firefights that usually fill the average match.
02:58 It might feel slow to use, but its accuracy and damage output make up for that.
03:02 Its iron sights are also excellent and extremely usable at range, freeing up a precious attachment
03:07 slot instead of using a scope.
03:09 The Groza is a sort of a hybrid between an SMG and an assault rifle that can be tailored
03:14 to suit close up or medium range best.
03:16 The high rate of fire is this weapon's strong suit, meaning you can ditch the need for a
03:19 second close range option.
03:21 With the right attachments, you can build this out for long range, although you'll need
03:25 to be careful of the recoil.
03:26 For that reason, you're really going to get the best from it using the Groza in close
03:30 to medium range encounters.
03:32 In that space, it makes a great backup for the range of a sniper or marksman rifle.
03:36 So those are our picks at the best Warzone guns.
