Assault rifles can be incredibly useful in Warzone, as they are incredibly versatile in their range and firing rate. But what are the best ARs in Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0? This wikiHow article runs through all the most powerful ARs in Warzone 2.0, ranking them from best to worst. We also include the best meta loadouts for any situation!

Things You Should Know

  • The ISO Hemlock and the TAQ-56 are the two strongest ARs in CoD: Warzone 2.
  • Players looking for an AR that excels from long range should consider the Lachmann-556.
  • The Kastov 74u is the ideal AR for those who need a close-range weapon.
  • Although some players may appreciate the M16's burst fire, it is not a recommended AR for Warzone 2.0.

ISO Hemlock

    The ISO Hemlock is remarkably easy to use. It offers low recoil and impressive range, so you can use it in just about any situation. Its damage is also high enough that you don't even need to land a headshot to exact a kill. Its only minor drawback is its slow firing rate, so keeping a good SMG handy is not a bad idea.
    • Recommended loadout :
      • Muzzle: SAKIN Tread-40
      • Barrel: LR-30/56
      • Underbarrel: Edge-47 Grip
      • Magazine: 45-Round Mag (standard)
      • Optic: Aim OP-V4

    The TAQ-56 - also known as the SCAR - does not excel in any one area, but its handling speed alone will give you an advantage over your competitors. Your mobility and reload time will keep you a step ahead, and its well-rounded damage levels are effective from any distance.
    • Recommended loadout :
      • Muzzle: Echoless-80
      • Barrel: 17.5″ Tundra Pro
      • Optic: Aim-OP V4
      • Underbarrel: FTAC Ripper 56
      • Magazine: 60-Round Mag (standard)

    This AR offers low damage, but it has impressive range. Longtime Call of Duty players may recognize as it as the M13 , and its low recoil lends it the best accuracy out of any AR in Warzone 2.0.
    • Recommended loadout :
      • Barrel: 14″ Bruen Echelon
      • Muzzle: Harbinger D20
      • Optic: Cronen Mini Pro
      • Magazine: 60-Round Mag (standard)

    This AR lacks the range necessary to be effective from long range, and a recent update for Warzone 2.0 nerfed its damage at every level. Still, it's worth considering for its effectiveness from medium range alone.
    • Recommended loadout :
      • Barrel: KAS-10 584MM Barrel
      • Muzzle: ZLR Talon 5
      • Optic: Aim-OP V4
      • Underbarrel: FTAC Ripper 56

    Players will have a hard time getting kills up close with a Lachmann-556 as its firing rate is rather slow. Still, its low recoil lends it excellent accuracy from afar.
    • Recommended loadout :
      • Muzzle: Harbinger D20
      • Barrel: 15.6″ Lachmann Rapp Barrel
      • Underbarrel: FTAC Ripper 56

    One of the more lightweight ARs in the game, the Kastov-74u will keep you moving faster than your opponents. It therefore lends itself nicely to close-quarters combat, but it should definitely be complemented with a long-range option.

      • Muzzle: SAKIN Tread-40
      • Barrel: ShortTac 330MM

    New players should consider the M4 for its ease of use and rapid firing rate, but most players should be able to excel with a superior option on this list.

Chimera

    It may have a cool name, but the Chimera is rather limited in its use cases. It offers solid mobility, but it is bested by the Kastov-74u in that category, so there is little reason to opt for the Chimera here. Still, snipers may enjoy keeping a Chimera handy for close combat.
    • Recommended loadout :
      • Barrel: 6.5″ EXF Vorpal

    The 545 is a decent AR, and it does outperform the 762 in accuracy due to its low recoil, but there is otherwise little reason to recommend this gun over other ARs in Warzone 2.0.
    • Recommended loadout :
      • Barrel: IG-K30 406MM
      • Muzzle: FSS Covert V
      • Underbarrel: VX Pineapple

      • Magazine: 45-Round Mag

    The STB-556 is basically an SMG, with its lightweight build and rapid firing rate. It also has limited range and does not supported an expanded magazine, so players should look elsewhere if they want an AR for close-range use.
    • Recommended loadout :
      • Barrel: 24.4″ Bruen S-620
      • Muzzle: SAKIN TREAD-40
      • Magazine: 42 Round Mag
      • Rear Grip: STIP-40 Grip
      • Underbarrel: VX Pineapple

    Some players may love an AR with a burst fire, and understandably so. It can be effective in several scenarios, but you will have a hard time racking up kills in Warzone 2.0 with the M16, especially considering its intense recoil. We strongly advise against using it.
    • Recommended loadout :
      • Muzzle: Harbinger D20
      • Barrel: 14″ Carbine Shroud
      • Optic: Schlager 3.4X
      • Underbarrel: VX Pineapple
      • Stock: Corio Precio Factory [1]
