Warzone 2.0 Season 3 Best Weapons (April 2023)

The Warzone 2 Season 3 weapons will be must-have picks for your loadouts if you want the best chance of winning in battle royale. Although quite a few weapon adjustments were added at the launch of Season 3, there are plenty of familiar weapons that dominate the Warzone 2 meta and stand out from the now-massive weapon pool you can choose from. We hope you have leveled up and readied some of the weapons below, so you can adjust and drop your loadouts accordingly. Here are the best Warzone 2 weapons for the Season 3 meta!

What Are the Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0 Season 3 Weapons?

Because of the fast, aggressive and sometimes unforgiving nature of Warzone 2 matches, weapons that let you keep up with the pace, through fast time to kill or through perfect handling and control, will always fit the meta and stand above the others. A good starting point when facing a new meta is to look at Assault Rifles and SMGs with low or easily controlled recoil, because they are usually effective and can be even more effective with the right attachments.

ISO Hemlock

Extremely reliable with good damage and controllable recoil. Despite some nerfs at the launch of Season 3, the Hemlock is still a strong weapon and is made even better with attachments and tuning aimed at further controlling recoil and accuracy.

TAQ-56

Very similar to the Hemlock, the TAQ-56 is also very reliable and precise. With the extra TAQ receivers available now, it is also a versatile weapon that you can customize to suit almost any playstyle.

Kastov 762

For a harder-hitting assault rifle option, you will want the Kastov 762. It is well suited to medium and long-range firefights, so naturally it is a great primary weapon for Warzone 2. Recoil control needs tuning to match the likes of the Hemlock.

Lachmann Sub and Vaznev-9K

Despite some balance adjustments in Season 3, the Lachmann Sub and Vaznev-9K are still some of the best SMGs for Warzone 2. They are so similar that your choice depends on your own preference and how they fit your gear.

VEL 46

Even with a small nerf to headshot damage for Warzone Season 3, the VEL-46 remains a great close-range SMG. Its high rate of fire, relatively large magazine and excellent hip fire make it a good secondary to switch to when enemy players get too close.

Sakin MG38

The Sakin remains a great LMG choice for Warzone 2 thanks to its good stats and the best default magazine size in its class at 100 rounds. You will be able to lay down a lot of suppressing fire with it, but make sure you have a good secondary weapon for close-range fights.

RPK

Like the Sakin, if you like LMGs in Warzone 2, the RPK is still a really good option.

MCPR-300

If sniper rifles are your strength, the MCPR-300 is a great bolt-action rifle for long-range firefights. I would argue its default 10-round magazine makes it slightly better than the Victus XMR and the new FJX Imperium, but they all have very similar stats anyway. Whatever your choice, make sure to equip the Nilsound 90 muzzle attachment and Explosive ammo to drop fully armored enemies with a single headshot.

KV Broadside

The Broadside is probably the best shotgun pick for Warzone Season 3 thanks to its good range and rate of fire. It will be handy for those crazy super-close-range fights, but one of the SMGs on this list may be a better option overall, depending on your preference and the other weapon in your loadout.
