There are plenty of Assault Rifles to choose from in Warzone, but not all are worth your time. Some lack power, while others are just too difficult to control.

Best Assault Rifles in Warzone Season 1

AS Val

The AS Val is perfect for players with an aggressive playstyle who want to quickly take down their targets. It’s fairly easy to use and performs exceptionally well in mid-range combat.

The weapon deals a solid amount of damage with each bullet, even without any attachments. However, the AS Val has two downsides: its mobility and damage range. Thankfully, you can fix these issues with the right attachments.

The AS Val also has a small magazine size at its base level, so we recommend adding an extended mag to improve it as well. But other than that, this AR won’t disappoint you.

  • Barrel: Suppressed Long Barrel
  • Underbarrel: Vertical Foregrip
  • Magazine: Extended Mag II
  • Rear Grip: Ergonomic Grip
  • Fire Mods: Recoil Springs

Krig C

The Krig C is one of two new weapons added to the game in Season 1. This AR is currently very powerful, and we expect it to get nerfed in the next season. 

The Krig C delivers high damage output and, surprisingly, has minimal recoil. Thanks to this, you can easily use a suppressor, which will help you stay hidden on the mini-map.

Overall, with the right attachments, the Krig C might become your favorite Assault Rifle in the game, at least in Season 1.

  • Muzzle: Ported Compensator
  • Barrel: Reinforced Barrel
  • Underbarrel: Vertical Foregrip
  • Stock: Balanced Stock
  • Fire Mods: Recoil Springs 

XM4

The XM4 is currently the best assault rifle to use in Warzone Season 1. It’s one of the easiest weapons to handle in the game and is unlocked by default.

However, even though it’s a starting weapon, it still provides solid accuracy, handling, and mobility. This makes it a great choice for players who are just starting out in Warzone.

Even as you progress in Warzone, the XM4 can still help you dominate every match – if you pair it with the right attachments.

  • Optic: Kepler Microflex
  • Muzzle: Compensator
  • Barrel: Long Barrel
  • Underbarrel: Vertical Foregrip
  • Magazine: Extended Mag I
