The word “meta” is sometimes used as an acronym for “most effective tactics available.” In short, meta weapons aren’t necessarily the most popular but instead are the most useful.
Meta weapons are those that are objectively the best at any given point in an evolving game’s life cycle. In this list, we’ll go through all 85 primary Warzone weapons, ranking them from F tier to S tier, with F-tier status accorded to those best avoided at all costs, and S being “meta.” While most Warzone weapons are viable and can function in many scenarios, there is a handful you’ll absolutely want to avoid, along with a small selection that is objectively better than the rest.įollowing the Season 5 update, many of the weapons have been rebalanced, making some more or less useful than before. Currently, there are 85 primary weapons available in Call of Duty: Warzone, each stemming from either Modern Warfare or Black Ops Cold War.
