Ranking Criteria

These are the factors considered in ranking the weapons for Warzone 2. Overall pick rate and popularity were also considered in determining the rankings for each gun in the tier list.

• SS Tier - These weapons are considered powerful even without attachments. With upgrades attached, these weapons can mow down full squads in the hands of the right player.
• S Tier - Still considered formidable and reliable even without attachments. With the right modifications for these guns, they can be considered on the same level as SS tier weapons.
• A Tier - High-risk, high-reward guns requiring above average skill level to be fully effective due to factors such as recoil control and damage output.
• B Tier - Used as secondary weapons or for situational purposes only, such as clearing out interiors of buildings or sniping out enemies from a distance.
