Identifying the best Warzone AR loadouts is never easy, especially with the meta-shifting with every major patch. Despite this, it’s key you find a top-tier weapon, as they’re unbelievably effective at eliminating foes in mid to long-range gunfights.

Of course, there are several viable assault rifle options in Season 3 Reloaded, each with its own strengths and weaknesses that excel in different situations. So, in order to pick the best AR in Warzone's current meta to devastate your enemies, I've created a ranked list.

Best Warzone Assault Rifles, ranked

5. RAM-7

Best RAM-7 loadout

  • Muzzle: Casus Brake
  • Barrel: Cronen Headwind Long
  • Stock: HVS 3.4 Pad
  • Underbarrel: Bruen Heavy Support Grip
  • Magazine: 60 Round Mag

The RAM-7 hits like a truck and as a sniper support, it's built to charge head-on into skirmishes and defeat any enemies in its path.

With all the attachments above, you'll have the tools to play aggressively and rack up kills, especially in Resurgence where this weapon is unmatched.

While nerfs have brought it down from its previous heights back in Season 2, it's still an absolute force in Season 3 Reloaded.

4. BP50

Best BP50 loadout

  • Muzzle: ZEHMN35 Compensated Flash Hider
  • Optic: JAK Glassless Optic
  • Underbarrel: DR-6 Handstop
  • Rear Grip: TRST-IV Grip Tape
  • Magazine: 45 Round Mag

Having taken over MW3 multiplayer since its recent release in Season 2, the BP50 is also making a splash in the Battle Royale meta. This devastatingly strong AR has a consistently strong TTK across all ranges, making it immensely versatile.

Specialising in mid to long-range combat, in my opinion, it performs best when in the hands of an aggressive player who isn't afraid to take risks. I've taken on countless SMGs at close quarters with this gun, so it's certainly no slouch in those high-pressure skirmishes as well.

3. BAL-27

  • Muzzle: XTEN Havoc 90
  • Barrel: Crown-H3 Barrel
  • Underbarrel: Schlager Tango
  • Magazine: 60 Round Mag
  • Stock: Sandbar Heavy Stock

While only being added in Season 3 Reloaded, it's immediately clear how strong the BAL-27 is, making it a likely force to be reckoned with in Warzone. In our experience so far the weapon is an absolute laser beam, and tears through enemies like nobody's business.

The best loadout lets you keep steady control of the weapon, which is excellent when the time to kill is longer in Warzone. Furthermore, while the reload speed is fairly long, the 60-round magazine should give you breathing room and more than enough to take down even a heavily armoured foe.

Iron sights are more than capable with the BAL-27, but you might want to consider swapping out the Magazine or Underbarrel for a magnified scope if you're struggling to compete at longer ranges.

2. SVA 545

Best SVA 545 loadout

  • Muzzle: VT-7 Spiritfire Suppressor
  • Barrel: STV Precision Barrel
  • Optic: CORIO Eagleseye 2.5x
  • Ammunition: 5.45 High Grain
  • Magazine: 60 Round Mag

When I'm looking for a long-range AR, I need it to be easy to use, versatile in combat, and deal plenty of damage from afar. Well, the SVA 545 ticks all those boxes and more in Season 3 Reloaded, that's why it's one of the premium assault rifles for securing kills from afar.

All the attachments above make this gun incredibly simple to operate and that's what you need when you're looking to carry a match. This gun has slowly crept up near the top due to multiple buffs, and in Season 3 Reloaded, it's finally getting its time in the spotlight.

1. MCW

  • Muzzle: VT-7 Spiritfire Suppressor
  • Barrel: Second Line Mammoth Heavy Barrel
  • Optic: CORIO Eagleseye 2.5x
  • Magazine: 40 Round Mag
  • Conversion Kit: JAK Raven Kit

You just can't seem to escape the power of the MCW in Warzone, as it remains the strongest pick for assault rifles and the default choice for so many players.

It fires like a laser, even after several nerfs in the last couple of seasons, and retains high damage values across short, medium, and long ranges. Most of all though, it's the most reliable gun you can pick in the game, which goes a long way in something like Warzone where each moment counts.

I never feel like the MCW is going to let me down in situations like this, which has let me skip the challenge of the Gulag more often than not.
