Top 10 Most Popular Weapons in Warzone 2 Season 1 Reloaded

The most popular weapons in Warzone 2 are often incredibly powerful and easy to use. Thanks to WZRanked, we’ve tallied up the ten most popular weapons in Warzone 2 Season 1 Reloaded as of January 9th.

10. X13 Auto – 2.7% – The most popular pistol in Warzone 2.

Akimbo pistols have taken Warzone 2 by storm from the start, and the X13 Auto in particular continues to be one of the most popular options in the game with a  2.7% pick rate  . For those who prefer not to use Overkill, the X13 Auto has become the most popular secondary weapon in the game due to its classification as a pistol.

Thanks to the Akimbo X13 rear grip, this pistol literally pierces players in close quarters and is likely to remain popular in Season 2.

9. M4 – 2.8%

Assault rifles are hugely popular in Warzone 2, and the M4 is one of the most popular weapons in Season 1 Reloaded with a  2.8% pick rate.

The versatility of the M4 should not be underestimated, and players can choose from a variety of builds that take advantage of its mobility, range, and accuracy. The M4 is immediately available to Warzone 2 players, which certainly contributes to its popularity.

8. Vaznev-9K – 3.7%

The Vaznev-9K has taken the Modern Warfare 2 CDL Moshpit playlist by storm, it’s one of the most powerful submachine guns in the battle royale. It has the mobility characteristics of a submachine gun with the damage potential of an assault rifle.

While long-range shots may not be in his wheelhouse, the Vaznev-9K is a great sniper support weapon for Al-Mazra in Warzone 2, which explains its  3.7% pick rate.

7. Lachmann Sub – 4.1%

Only three submachine guns managed to make it into the top 10 most popular in the first season of Warzone 2’s Reloaded. It’s no wonder the Lachmann Sub is in the top three, as the fan-favorite MP5 is back under a new name.

The MP5 has always been an easy weapon in Call of Duty games and the Lachmann Sub continues this trend with minimal recoil. If its accuracy isn’t enough to give this weapon a try, then the MP5’s iconic feel and sound should convince gamers.

6. TAQ-56 – 5.3%

The theme of classic weapons retaining their popularity in Warzone 2 continues with the TAQ-56 or Scar-L taking sixth place. We ranked the TAQ-56 as the best assault rifle in Warzone 2, and its popularity among players is not far behind with a  5.3% pick rate.

What makes the TAQ-56 great is the ability to use its unique iron sight for medium range shooting or equip it with a long range optic thanks to its minimal recoil.

5. Signal 50 – 5.7% – The most popular sniper rifle in Warzone 2.

The Signal 50 had a slow start in Warzone 2 in terms of popularity, but its 5.7% pick rate as the most popular sniper rifle in the game is a testament to its stability and durability as a reliable weapon.

Even with the addition of the Victus XMR Signal 50 remains a fan favorite sniper rifle. It’s certainly heavy, but its range and damage output are unmatched at the moment.

4. TAQ-V – 7.2%

At the beginning of Warzone 2, the TAQ-V was hiding in the shadow of the TAQ-56, since the weapons share a common platform. However, as players got comfortable with the battle royale, they realized that the TAQ-V was better suited to fighting Al Mazra.

Damage is the name of the game when it comes to TAQ-V. With a clean iron sight and some recoil limiting attachments, the battle rifle lives up to its  7.2% rebound rate.

3. Kastov 762 – 9.7% – The most popular assault rifle in Warzone 2.

The Kastov 762 looks and feels like the classic AK-47 in Warzone 2. The nostalgic guns are unsurprisingly popular in the first season of Reloaded. However, nostalgia is only one side of the coin, as the Kastov 762 has the power and efficiency to support its  9.7% pick rating  in third place.

While the Kastov 762 isn’t the easiest weapon to control, it’s certainly one of the most powerful ARs available.

2. Fennec 45 – 13.1% – the most popular submachine gun in Warzone 2.

Another classic weapon in the Fennec 45 is back to claim second place and the title of the most popular submachine gun in Warzone 2. There is no denying that its recoil is significant. However, its recoil is a side effect of its absurd rate of fire.

There are very few fights that players will lose with a fennec in melee. So far in Season 1 Reloaded, the Fennec is the top choice for SMGs paired with long range weapons in Warzone 2.

1. RPK – 20.9% – The most popular weapon in Warzone 2.

Many players consider the RPK to be the best light machine gun in the first season of Warzone 2’s Reloaded. So it’s no surprise that it ranks first on our list of the most popular weapons with an absurd  20.9%  . If you don’t mind using heavy weapons, then the RPK is the perfect alternative to the best ARs in the game.

Large magazines and above-average range are vital to success in Al-Mazra. Fortunately, the RPK has both of these sought-after qualities, and with the best attachments, its recoil can be reduced to zero.
