Warzone 2.0 has finally launched and players all over the world are working out the best and most meta weapons to take with them into Al-Mazrah. Here are the 10 most used guns in WZ2, as of November 27.
Warzone 2.0 has finally dropped, giving Call of Duty fans the world over the chance to drop into the battle royale sequel.
The weapon pool is currently as small as it’ll ever be and might take players some time to get used to, especially considering how many guns ultimately ended up in the first Warzone.
Right now it’s only Modern Warfare 2 weapons that players can drop into Al-Mazrah with, but which weapons are opponents using?

Naturally, the best weapons become the most meta and the most used, so be sure to regularly consult this list in order to stay ahead of the curve and give yourself the best chances of securing those all important wins. Using data from WZRanked, here are the 10 most popular guns in Warzone 2.0.
Warzone 2.0 top 10 best & most-used guns (pick-rate%)
10. Lachmann Sub (3.35%)
ActivisionThe Lachmann Sub in MW2.
Better known as the MP5, the Lachmann Sub is the final weapon players unlock in that weapon platform. It’s versatile, quick and strong enough to keep players in mid-range gunfights. There’s just a hint too much recoil for it to be any higher.
9. SP-R 208 (3.37%)
ActivisionThe SP-R 208 in MW2.
The SP-R 208 is technically a marksman rifle in Modern Warfare 2, so it fires and bolts far faster than its sniper rifle counterparts. The downside is the lesser damage but, as one-shots are incredibly elusive in WZ2, accurate shots from the SP-R will pin enemies down even at the longest of distances.

8. Kastov-74U (3.51%)
ActivisionKastov-74U in Modern Warfare 2.
The Kastov-74U is the most compact and quick weapon in the Kastov platform, essentially the AK-74U of past Call of Duty titles. It hits hard at close ranges and has modest enough recoil to remain viable at middle distances. There’s only really its fire rate holding it back from being a behemoth.
7. M13B (3.55%)
ActivisionThe M13B dropped via DMZ.
The M13B is very similar to its namesake from Modern Warfare 2019. High fire-rate and minimal recoil balance out lower damage and modest range. As a result, you’ll do well against mid-range opponents but might struggle when engaging with those further afield.
6. STB 556 (4.24%)
ActivisionThe STB 556 in MW2.
The STB 556 is one of the strongest all round ARs in Warzone and MW2. It has no discernible weaknesses and flourishes at medium range thanks to its high fire rate and controllable recoil. Only overall TTK is stopping it from ruling Al-Mazrah in the same way it does MW2 multiplayer.

5. RPK (4.79%)
ActivisionThe RPK returns to the CoD franchise in MW2.
The RPK has flown up the rankings and onto this list. Its a strong all-round LMG with all the weaknesses the weapon class typically brings. Slower handling and mobility mean run-and-gun players will have to be selective and sensible but, if you’re posted up, there’s not a better weapon to have.

ActivisionThe Kastov 762 in MW2.
The Kastov 762 is the AK-47 of old in everything but name. Its high damage and excellent range are balanced by volatile recoil. Taking some time with the gun and learning its kick is a one-way ticket to Warzone 2 wins and shredding enemy armor as you pick them up.

3. Fennec 45 (7.38%)
ActivisionThe Fennec 45 in MW2.
The Fennec 45’s major strength is its fire rate, firing incredibly quickly and taking out enemies correspondingly fast. However, it does mean you’ll run out of ammo pretty rapidly, so make sure you bring extended mags and a secondary to cover you at medium to long range.
2. TAQ-56 (8.22%)
The TAQ-56 in MW2.The TAQ-56 is the Scar-H assault rifle, and possesses the strengths and weaknesses the rifle has had in past iterations. Strong damage and range are balanced out by poor handling and moderate recoil, but the right attachments can make this a slow but incredibly powerful weapon.
1. M4 (16.53%)
ActivisionThe M4 in MW2.
The M4 will be familiar to anyone with a few MW2 or WZ2 games under their belt. High fire rate, excellent damage and strong range result in another weapon with no tangible downsides.
