This five best weapons in Warzone's history list is here to break down, reflect on and chronicle some of the most overpowered guns ever used in the hit battle royale.

With the days counting down until the launch of Modern Warfare II, and ultimately Warzone 2.0, here are the top-five best weapons in the title's 17-season history.

5 Best Weapons in Warzone's History

5. R9-0 Shotgun's Dragon's Breath Rounds in Season 6 (MW)

Kicking off the list is the R9-0 Shotgun with Dragon's Breath rounds, aka the "Doof Doof." Back in Season 6, it was simply game over when you ran into one unexpectedly regardless of how many plates you had on.

4. AS VAL's SPP 10-R Mags in Season 6 (MW)

For a brief period of time, the AS VAL's SPP 10-R Mags attachment was so broken that it allowed players to wall bang foes through any surface on Verdansk. When coupled with Snapshot Grenades, the combination was simply unfair.

3. MG 82 in Season 4 (BOCW)

A gun that somehow lasted about a week without getting a nerf after the launch of the Black Ops Cold War era's Season 4, the MG 82 was as close as players got to using a Wonder Weapon in Verdansk. With at least 90 rounds in its magazine, the MG 82 had the best TTK in the game at the time along with zero recoil, regardless of whether players had it equipped in their custom loadouts or simply found it as ground loot.

2. FR 5.56's Underbarrel Shotgun in Season 5 (MW)

Back in August 2020 during the original Season 5, the Warzone devs made a brief buff to the FR 5.56 in the form of its effective damage range. While that sounded like a harmless change in theory, what actually ended up happening was players using the FR 5.56's shotgun underbarrel attachment were able to have the equivalent of the Golden Gun from GoldenEye 007.

1. DMR 14 in Season 1 (BOCW)

The DMR 14 tactical rifle was so overpowered throughout the entirety of the Black Ops Cold War era's Season 1 that players in the community started calling the game DMRzone. Even with full plates, the DMR 14 was a two-shot kill to the head, and a one-shot kill to the head with stopping power rounds. If you weren't using a DMR 14 or a Type 63, you stood no chance in-game at the time.
