What are the best new guns in Warzone after the Season 3 Reloaded update?
It used to be that you could just visit our list of the best guns in Modern Warfare to also learn what's the best in Warzone, but times have changed. Warzone has become its own beast at this point, and Season 3 has ditched the presence of Modern Warfare weapons entirely as loot (don't worry, your loadouts still count!).
The update in December 2020, which reset the Season count in Warzone back to 1, marked a new foundation for Warzone with an array of additions and new weapon classes from the latest Call of Duty game, Black Ops: Cold War.
Season 2 Reloaded was present all the way from late February to April. Then, Season 3 officially kicked things off with several balance updates and new weapons. And now Season 3 Reloaded is well underway, bringing new updates to both old and new favorites
The regular Verdansk map got nuked at the end of Season 2, and players were teleported back to 1984. This brought a new gulag as well as several new points of interest. With Season 3 Reloaded, these have increased exponentially to match locations from iconic films from the 80s, such as the Nakatomi Plaza (honestly, we should have seen this coming).
As players continue unraveling everything that has changed post-mid-season update, weapons are in a new interesting position. Stopping Power spawn rates have been considerably decreased, suppressor attachments went over an intriguing overhaul, and some of the new weapons such as the PPSh 41, Swiss K31 and ZRG 20mm underwent several changes, the former becoming a must for SMG fans.
As usual, we recommend equipping Overkill so you can carry two primary weapons at once to make the most out of your battle royale expeditions.
Best Assault Rifle in Warzone recommendation
Best weapon recommendation: CR-56 AMAX (Modern Warfare)
How to unlock the CR-56: Get 3 Gunbutt kills while using an Assault Rifle in 10 different matches (in Black Ops: Cold War or Warzone)
Despite the nerf in May (which decreased minimum damage from 32 to 31), the CR-56 AMAX still reigns supreme in Warzone.
The AK-47 was our favourite choice throughout the first half of Season 3, but the reality is that the AMAX continues to be more than a viable option, and a recurrent choice for skilled players.
It excels at mid range but it won't let you down at close range either, paired up with a high fire rate that puts this weapon amongst the best to pick. As for attachments, make sure to target and increase its bullet velocity, as well as adding an optic to make full use of that range advantage. Until developer Raven decides to nerf it down significantly, we don't see the AMAX going anywhere anytime soon.

Best Sniper Rifle in Warzone recommendation
Best weapon recommendation: LW3 Tundra
How to unlock the LW3 Tundra: Reach Player Level 25 (in Black Ops: Cold War or Warzone)
Sniper Rifles have slowly but surely been receiving a better treatment overall from Raven, all the way from bullet velocity to the way attachments work. Past favourites such as the HDR or Season 3's Swiss K31 are still good options, but a handful of specific changes have put the LW3 Tundra on the spotlight.
One could argue that the ZRG 20mm makes for a compelling case due to its massive damage against both enemy targets and vehicles, especially considering the 'Big Bertha meta', but the LW3 Tundra has become a super fast sniper rifle to use, with slow ADS and reload time to make for the perfect combo, as well as a more than decent damage, particularly with headshots.
Best Marksman Rifle in Warzone recommendation
Best weapon recommendation: KAR98K
How to unlock the KAR98K: Reach Player Level 33 (in Modern Warfare or Warzone)
The Marksman Rifles can often end up feeling a bit like a diet Sniper Rifle, but thanks to constant tweaks throughout Warzone's existence the KAR87K can almost rival them. Even now in Season 2, the weapon hasn't received any nerfs, so it still retains the same range, damage, and accuracy from the first Season, as well as its mobility.
We highly recommend opting for this if you're used to Sniper Rifles, since this weapon works best when you're aiming for headshots. Its biggest advantage comes down to its ADS speed (aim down sight), which is unparalleled compared to Snipers..
