The best guns to level before Warzone 2.0 launches

Get ready to drop into Al Mazrah.

Warzone 2.0 arrives November 16, which means that you’ll want to get ready with the right weapons, attachments, and loadouts.

Unlike the 6v6 multiplayer modes,Call of Duty’s battle royalecomes with a longer time-to-kill and a far larger battlefield. While things like damage range and bullet velocity may not matter as much in the smaller core maps, they will definitely come into play in Al Mazrah, the new Warzone map.

If you’re leveling your weapons with an eye on Warzone, these are the best guns you should be maxing out first.

The 5 best guns to max out for Warzone 2.0

Kastov-74U

The Kastov-74U is so good, it has been banned in the Call of Duty League by way of a Gentleman’s Agreement. With a time-to-kill of 184ms at up to 21 meters in multiplayer, it combines the snappiness of an SMG with the range of an assault rifle.

It is lethal at close to mid-range — perfect if you prefer to play aggressively and actively seek out gun fights. Its already responsive handling and excellent mobility can be improved further with attachments, turning it into a veritable monster of a weapon.

Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 RAAL MG

Kastov 762

The Kastov 762 is one of the best weapons in multiplayer, and the same holds true for Warzone 2. With a very competitive time-to-kill of just 200ms up to 45 meters in multiplayer, it is extremely potent at mid-range and even when challenging snipers.

Its recoil can feel a little unwieldy when compared to other assault rifles like the M4, but it can be tamed with the right attachments.

RAAL MG

The RAAL MG is the best LMG in multiplayer, and it looks set to continue its reign in Al Mazrah. This LMG has slower aim down sights speeds, but it packs a serious punch.

It has 2-shot potential in multiplayer — and while this won’t carry over into Warzone 2, it should give you an idea of just how hard it hits.

Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 SP-X 80

With very controllable recoil and a massive 75-round magazine, you’ll be mowing down entire squads with this weapon in hand. It also has incredible range, turning it into a potential laser beam even when engaging at a distance.

Lachmann Sub

The game’s version of the MP5 is the best SMG in the game, absolutely shredding at close range.

But since there’s no guarantee of close-quarter engagements in Warzone 2, you can kit it out with attachments that improve range to turn it into a more versatile beast.
