Warzone Weapon Tier List February 2021
Another month of high octane action is upon us in Call of Duty: Warzone and we thought we would take it upon ourselves to pit the best weapons in the game against one another. So without further ado, here is our weapon tier list for Activision's battle royal mode, Warzone.
Before we get started with this list it is important to note that we will not be doing every single weapon in the game as we would be here all day. Instead we wanted to focus on the guns that a lot of people have been using lately as well as the drop weapons that you can typically find in crates. So if you see that your favorite weapon isn't on this list then don't fret we aren't necessarily saying it is unworthy of being on our list, we just can't get to all of them.
Warzone Weapon Tier List February 2021
1. S-Tier: Gods Among Us
- Mac-10
- Grau 5.56
- Kilo 141
- HDR
- LW3 - Tundra
- RPG-7
- CR-56 AMAX
The Mac-10 is without a doubt the most overpowered gun in Warzone right now. Odds are you will run into a lot of players using these on your travels through Verdansk. With the Gallantry blueprint being put into the Warzone crates players don't even really have to make a Mac-10 in their loadout anymore as the game pretty much gives them to you now.
The Kilo has well and truly claimed its' spot as the top Assault Rifle in Warzone right now, beating out the Grau to it's former title for the first time in the game's tenure. Though the AMAX is looking to make it's mark on the Warzone weapons list as many top players have touted it to be one of the next big meta guns in the game.
The Tundra and HDR are currently fighting out for the top sniper in Warzone right now as they both bring a variety of uses for players. While the Tundra lacks a suitable zoom attachment, like it's Cold War companion the Pellington, it does make up for that with it's raw firepower. And the starter scope it has is good enough that you can still accurately judge the distances you need in order to hit someone effectively in Warzone. Speaking of firepower, the HDR certainly packs a punch with each hit.
And then the RPG is just the RPG. If you have one of these you will probably get a fair few kills with it.
2. A-Tier: Demi-Human
- MP7
- MP5 (Cold War)
- MP5 (Modern Warfare)
- AK74u
- Kar-98k
- M13
- M4A1
- Stoner 63
- Pellington
- R9-0
- Diamatti
Now is when we get to some of the surprises in this tier list. The kar98k is without question a monster of rifle to use in Warzone as it is very accurate. The reason it is in A-Tier is simply due to it's limited range. Even with a sniper scope added to it, which you would be considered a fool for not doing so, it pails in comparison to the HDR when it comes to it's effectiveness at dealing with players at much greater distances.
The Pellington is also in the same sort of situation as the kar98k in that it is a very good sniper, however it does have it's limits to what it can do. Since you can't put a zoom on Pellington it's range means you won't be able to hit a lot of people from ridiculous distances like you might with the HDR.
3. B-Tier: Reaching for the Stars
- Krig-6
- Rytec AMR
- DMR-14
- Bullfrog
- XM4
- AX-50
- Fennec
- AK-47 (Cold War)
- Ram-7
- Groza
- Origin 12
- Gallo S12
- Bruen
- .50 GS
- AS VAL
Since the DMR-14 got nerfed to oblivion a couple of updates ago it just hasn't been the same sort of threat that many of us where forced to become accustomed to. It can still do a bit of damage to opponents so it isn't entirely dumpster fire material just yet, but there are certainly better guns out there for you to use.
The Krig-6 and XM4 are two weapons that certainly allow for a lot of fun to be had in Warzone. These two highly effective Assault Rifles in Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War came into Warzone with many thinking that they were going to allow players to dominate lobbies, unfortunately they ended up getting relegated to the background in one form or another as there were other weapons from their respective game that made much more of an impact than many might have predicted. They are still good weapons to use though so they are kind of on the border between A and B tier.
The likes of the Groza, Ram-7 and Bullfrog are examples of weapons that have the potential to be A-Tier weapons but always get hampered by one thing or another. They often times might get the short end of the stick when it comes to weapon balancing changes like it is for the Ram-7 and the Bruen. Then there are ones like the Groza in that it is a new weapon and people still don't know what to do with it because of the other weapons that are available
4. C-Tier: Here For The Ride
- FAL
- FR 5.56
- Ak-47 (Modern Warfare)
- Milano 821
- MK2 Carbine
- Hauer 77
- RPD
- M19
And at last we get to what can be considered the bottom feeders in Warzone. These are the types of weapons you might pick up so that you can win the occasional gunfight or two at the start of a game but afterwards get left out to dry once you have acquired your loadout.
Like the DMR, the FAL was at one point a weapon that you would have been considered a fool for not using. Now though it has been nerfed so hard that it is almost un-useable in the eyes of many. At least it can still win you your gulag duel in comfortable fashion.
