So you know the strongest weaponry to use in Season 3, we've got even more intel on the weapons currently dominating matches below.

DG-58 LSW

Despite receiving weapon balancing following the arrival of an aftermarket part drastically improving performance, the DG-58 LSW continues to prove popular and sits at the top of our weapon tier list thanks to its incredible damage in mid-range and long-distance combat.

Striker 9

For close-quarters action, the Striker 9 remains the strongest SMG to use in Warzone. Its incredible mobility combined with its excellent rate of fire enables players to shred through the armour of enemies in the blink of an eye.

The SMG has also managed to evade Raven Software's regular weapon balancing, locking its position in the top tier of weapons to use in the battle royale.

SOA Subverter

Taking the top spot in the battle rifle category is the SOA Subverter. Featuring a higher damage output alongside minimal recoil, the rifle is more than capable of making an impact in casual and ranked matches. With a strong attachment combination expanding ammunition capacity along with minimising damage drop-off, it's hard to go wrong with the SOA Subverter.

MORS

For long-distance battles, the MORS tops the sniper rifle category thanks to its extremely high damage output and its ease of use. Even with a default scope attached, it's extremely straightforward to crack and down opponents from afar.

Most builds enhance aim-down sight speeds and sprint-to-fire time to improve reactions resulting in a hugely versatile rifle that's ideal for quickscoping and passive play.

There you have it, that's the full Warzone weapon tier list and a closer look at the best weapons on offer. For more, check out our guides showcasing the best FJX Horus loadout and how to get the Cheech and Chong Operators.
