9. WSP-9
ActivisionThe WSP-9 manages to claim a spot within the best guns in Warzone.
A fast-firing SMG is always going to be a hot commodity across any of Warzone’s maps, and that stays true with the WSP-9. This SMG has great damage, a blistering fire rate, and insane damage, making it a force to be reckoned with in close ranges within Season 2 Reloaded.
8. BP50
ActivisionThe BP50 has managed to grab a spot within Warzone’s best 10 weapons. This gun boasts impressive damage, almost no recoil, and an excessively fast fire rate. The only downside is its maximum ammo capacity, however, this AR is still a beast to dominate mid to long distances on any map.
7. Bruen Mk9 – Best LMG in Warzone

Warzone veterans will recognize the Bruen Mk9, as it used to be one of the most popular weapons in the game’s previous iteration. This LMG has great range and damage that allows you to eliminate opponents at long distances with ease. Also, its large magazine will prevent you from being exposed mid-fights.
6. AMR9
ActivisionThe AMR9 used to be the best gun in Warzone before the Season 2 Reloaded update.
The AMR9 has managed to claw its way among the best weapons in the game. This SMG has a great TTK with high damage and an incredibly fast fire rate.
While the RAM-9 and HRM-9 have taken over the close-range meta, when using the right attachments, this gun is still an outstanding pick for short and mid distances.
5. XRK Stalker – Best Sniper Rifle in Warzone
ActivisionThe Season 2 update gave the XRK Stalker one-shot capabilities in Warzone.
Following the Season 2 update, the XRK Stalker received a major buff allowing it to one-shot enemies at over 50 meters. However, when equipped with the right attachments you can almost double the maximum damage range to make it even more deadly.
Compared to its one-shot counterpart, the KATT-AMR, this Sniper Rifle boasts great mobility and damage output and resembles the feel of the fan-favorite Kar98k from the first Warzone iteration.
4. RAM-7
ActivisionThe RAM-7 made its way into Warzone’s best guns due to its impressive damage, impressive high fire rate, and little to no recoil. Despite other long-range options that have been favored, when using the right attachments, this AR is most players’ favorite choice.
3. HRM-9
ActivisionThe HRM-9 boasts an impressive rate of fire at close ranges.
The HRM-9 quickly climbed the best close-range weapons list given its remarkable TTK up close. This SMG boasts an impressive firing rate, enabling you to swiftly overwhelm enemies in close-quarters combat.
2. SVA 545 – Best Assault Rifle in Warzone
ActivisionThe SVA 545 is the most popular AR in Season 2 Reloaded.
Despite being one of the first Assault Rifles to be unlocked in Warzone, the SVA 545 is an outstanding pick to dominate the game’s mid to long ranges. This gun is remarkably user-friendly and boasts an impressive damage output, low recoil, and high fire rate.
1. RAM-9 – Best gun in Warzone
ActivisionThe RAM-9 has a blistering fire rate in Warzone.
Season 2’s RAM-9 became the best gun in Warzone after several popular picks nerfs. Despite other guns continuing to be popular options, this SMG has incredible damage, fire rate, and mobility. If you want to dominate close-range fights, the RAM-9 should definitely be your pick.
