Five Warzone Season 5 meta guns and best loadouts to conquer your lobbies

STG44

The STG44, the newest assault rifle in the game, boasts balanced stats, controllable recoil, and impressive damage output, making it a versatile choice for players at all skill levels.

This STG44 loadout optimizes the range and recoil control of the weapon, with considerable tradeoffs in mobility and handling.

The new Quartermaster Supressor and DR79 Combo Stock improve gun kick and recoil control for more stable shooting. Additionally, the new muzzle attachment keeps you invisibile to enemy radar when firing.

The Heinreichter C70 Long Barrel increases bullet velocity and range, and reduces aiming idle sway, while the Corio Eagleseye 2.5 x provides you with a clear magnification for precise target acquisition.

Alternatively, if you prefer the rifle’s iron sights, you can swap the optic for the 7.92x33mm High Grain Rounds, which enhance damage range and bullet velocity.

Static-HV

The Static-HV, another new weapon, has swiftly climbed the ranks to become one of the Warzone Season 5 meta guns in terms of close-quarters combat. Its blistering fire rate and substantial magazine size make it a lethal weapon in tight spaces.

With the XRK Edge BW-4 Handstop, Auger 840 Light Barrel, and SPRY 34 Light Stock, this Static HV build boosts the submachine gun’s aim down sight (ADS) speed, movement speed, and overall mobility and handling.

To mitigate the reduction in recoil control while maintaining suppressed firing, equip the Quartermasters Suppressor.

For the optic, choose between the MK. 3 Reflector or Nydar Model 2023, both offering a clear sight picture for accurate aiming.

BAL-27

The BAL-27 received significant buffs in the Season 5 update, with an increased max damage range and improved overall recoil management.

This BAL-27 class setup further extends the rifle’s range and bullet velocity with the Crown-H3 Barrel, which also boosts aim walking speed, movement speed, and reduces aiming idle sway.

The Bruen Heavy Support Grip, Quartermaster Suppressor, and JAK Glassless Optic enhance recoil control, gun kick control and firing aim stability, resulting in pinpoint accuracy.

Additionally, the 60 Round Mag ensures you have ample ammunition for prolonged gunfights.

Superi 46

Despite getting hit by mobility nerfs, the Superi 46 SMG has remained as one of the Warzone Season 5 meta guns due to its quick fire rate and raw power.

To counterbalance the mobility reductions and enhance handling, this Superi 46 loadout includes the Bore 99 Short Barrel and JAK Cutthroat. These attachments bolster movement, ADS, aim walking, and sprint-to-fire speed.

The ZEHMN35 Compensated Flash Hider improves recoil control and firing stability while reducing enemy radar pings. The 4.6mm High Grain increases bullet velocity and damage range.

Lastly, rock the 40 Round Mag to make sure you never run out of bullets in intense close-range engagements.

Kar98k

With its signature one-shot kill potential and satisfyingly crisp recoil, the Kar98k is a must-have for players who prefer a more deliberate and calculated playstyle in Warzone Season 5.

This Kar98k build transforms the marksman rifle into a quickscoping machine with the SL Razorhawk Laser Light and No Stock options, substantially boosting ADS and sprint-to-fire speed.

The Prazisiongewehr 762 Long Barrel and 7.62x57mm High Grain Rounds extend the rifle’s range and boost bullet velocity.

The Range Caller V3.4 Optic offers a smooth 7x magnification, making it ideal for quickscoping.
