Warzone Season 2 Reloaded Assault Rifle Tier List

Warzone Season 2 Reloaded is officially underway, and this Call of Duty mid-season update brings out our latest Assault Rifle tier list. Some big shifts have occurred from the last tier list, and we're eager to see what you think of these changes.

Even though they use the same ammo type in Warzone, Tactical Rifles and LMGs will not be included on this list.

Warzone Season 2 Reloaded Assault Rifle Tier List

1. S-Tier

• M13
• Kilo 141
• M4A1
• FFAR 1
• CR-56 AMAX

The bread and butter of assault rifles, these S-Tier weapons are the best of the best when it comes to consistent damage output at mid-range. Although they've all seen buffs or nerfs in one way or another, they are all currently housed by the top-tier Warzone players. For the first time, the list of S-Tier assault rifles is pretty versatile and your ideal weapon can be based on preference and playstyle.

2. A-Tier

• FARA 83
• Grau 5.56
• FAL
• RAM-7
• XM4

The FARA 83 has solidified itself as an A-Tier weapon since its introduction in Season 2, and the XM4 has worked its way up from lower tiers as well. The RAM-7, FAL, and Grau have all continue to be solid choices as well, but for one reason or another aren't quite as fearsome in hand as the S-Tier ARs. Nonetheless, these A-Tier choices shouldn't be slept on by any means.

3. B-Tier

• AK-47 (Modern Warfare)
• AK-47 (Cold War)
• AS VAL
• Krig 6

Really the only thing stopping these weapons from being A or S-Tier is a particular stat. Both AK-47s have great damage output, but the recoil is terrible. The AS VAL lacks a larger magazine size. Contrarily, the Krig 6 has a poor damage output and terrible fire rate.

4. C-Tier

• Groza
• QBZ-83
• AN-94
• Oden

Tired of the Season 2 S-Tier choices, a few content creators have tried using the Groza and QBZ-83 over the FFAR, but this may be a vain effort. The QBZ damage drops off pretty harshly at range, and its rate of fire and reload time do not make up for it. The Groza could be a threat if it weren't for the horizontal recoil

The AN-94 and Oden both have their place at mid range, but if you can't hit those first three shots they aren't worth using.

5. D-Tier

• FN Scar 17
• FR 5.56

The FN Scar 17 has two opinions on it. It's a sleeper, and it's the worst gun in the game. The correct opinion, unfortunately, is that it is indeed the worst gun in the game. The FR 5.56 doesn't fall too shortly behind it, but at least the FR is a burst-rifle. If you tap the trigger two to three times you can usually get a down, but you shouldn't count on the recoil pattern being your friend.
