Top 5 Assault Rifles

Discover the best assault rifles in call of duty warzone, including the FARA 83 (unlock: 2 headshots) and C58 (Battle Pass level 15).

How to Unlock: You’ll need to get two headshot (a shot that lands on the enemy's head, usually an instant kill) kills (a shot that lands on the enemy's head, usually an instant kill) with an AR in Warzone or Multiplayer.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    The FARA 83 is a fully automatic assault rifle with a great fire rate and accuracy, dealing more damage than other weapons if you hit your target.
  2. 2
    It is brilliant for short to mid-range distances, and with the correct attachments, can be strong at long-range too.
  3. 3
    The attachments decrease vertical and horizontal recoil, and make the weapon quicker and more comfortable to use.
  4. 4
    The FARA 83 is a great weapon for all ranges, so don’t be afraid to use it in close-quarter fighting, as well as mid- and long-range gunfights.

Best Attachments:

  • Muzzle - GRU Suppressor - Gives you the best accuracy for long-range, fastest time-to-kill, and keeps you off enemy radar (your minimap with nearby blips and threats marked) (your minimap (the small circular map in the bottom-left corner of your screen) with nearby blips and threats marked).
  • Barrel - 19.5“ Liberator - This will give you greater accuracy in long-range fights and does not increase recoil as much as other barrels.
  • Optic - Axial Arms 3x - A great optic to allow you to track and target your opponents. The aim-down-sight (ADS) speed is good but not the best. The FARA 83’s ADS speed is lacking, but the zoom on the optic will make up for this and allow you to be effective at range. The other attachments on the weapon also create high hip-fire accuracy, meaning if a gunfight occurs at very-close range, not looking down the optic is a safe option to kill your enemy.
  • Underbarrel - Spetsnaz Grip - This makes the weapon easier to control and to aim whilst firing. Reducing recoil is essential at mid- to long-range fighting.
  • Ammunition - Spetsnaz 60 Round - The highest magazine size, this will allow you to maximise the weapons output, and give you more opportunity to kill, should you miss.

How to Unlock: You must reach level 15 of the Battle Pass, or by purchasing blueprints in the store. There is no specific challenge to unlock this weapon.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    The C58 is an automatic, high-damage assault rifle, a great option for Warzone’s large open spaces.
  2. 2
    The weapon’s low-fire rate makes it slightly flawed in close gunfights, but excellent in mid- and long-range fighting due to its incredibly high-damage output.
  3. 3
    It is a very easy weapon to control, allowing you to punish enemies who give you even a single second to take a shot at them.

Best Attachments:

  • Muzzle - Agency Suppressor - Maximises damage range meaning you can inflict greater damage on your enemies at further ranges. Also helps with vertical recoil.
  • Barrel - 18.5“ Task Force - Offers great bullet velocity, reduces recoil, and increases damage range. This does reduce your ADS and movement speed, but this is almost irrelevant as the C58 is not a close-range hip-fire weapon.
  • Optic - Axial Arms 3x - Excellent scope for mid- to long-range fighting, allowing you to track and precisely hit your targets.
  • Underbarrel - Field Agent Grip - Faster ADS speed, movement speed, and allows you to use the C58 more aggressively and effectively in mid-range gunfights.
  • Ammunition - 45 Rnd Drum - Although you can choose 50 or 55-round drums, the 45 round hinders less on your ADS and movement speeds. Pairing the 55-round magazine with the 18.5“ Task Force Barrel would make the weapon and its mobility extremely slow and lethargic. The 45 rounds also provide a quicker reload time.

How to Unlock: Level 4, so an easy one to get started. The XM4 is a popular weapon so you may find it on the bodies of dead players, as well as in ground loot.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    The XM4 is an incredibly versatile weapon in Verdansk.
  2. 2
    The high-fire rate allows the weapon to be extremely powerful at close- and mid-ranges.
  3. 3
    The XM4 is often paired with a sniper, as it is extremely effective at short-range, taking the place of an SMG or Shotgun.

Best Attachments:

  • Muzzle - Agency Suppressor - Increases the damage range, this is a must-have with the XM4 as its recoil makes it largely ineffective at long-ranges. The agency suppressor also helps with vertical recoil control, allowing you to effectively eliminate targets at close- to mid-range.
  • Laser - Tiger Team Spotlight - This gives you better movement speed and ADS speed. This will allow you to fight more effectively at close ranges, moving quickly around the map, and profiting on enemies who are using other Assault Rifles.
  • Rear Grip - Serpent Grip - The XM4, like every weapon in call of duty warzone, has its own iron sight, and its iron sight is very easy to use. The Serpent Grip gives you faster movement and ADS speed, allowing the XM4 to feel like an Assault Rifle, and an SMG. If you need to, an excellent Optic to use is the Microflex LED that offers quick ADS and is great for short- to mid-range opponents.
  • Stock - Raider Pad - Provides further mobility, allowing quick movement and ADS speed for use with the XM4. The Raider Pad also offers good stability for recoil as the XM4 can be somewhat erratic, toning your weapon to reduce recoil is crucial to effective targeting of opponents.
  • Ammunition - 45 Rnd - This magazine will allow you to use the XM4 both as an Assault Rifle and an SMG. The 45-round magazine is useful for this weapon as its high fire rate will race through the ammunition rapidly.

How to Unlock: Level 7, another weapon that can be quickly unlocked and used.
