Overview: Weapons

New to Warzone? This guide covers the basics of weapons, from finding them to understanding weapon tiers and your first loadout. Get the edge you need!

Hey there, welcome to Warzone! Let's talk about weapons, the most important tool you've got. You'll be picking these up all over the map, from the ground, chests, and even from fallen enemies. Think of weapons like this: there are different types, and some are just plain better than others. The game actually categorizes them into 'Weapon Tiers'. You'll see this when you're looking at your loadout or comparing guns. Higher tiers generally mean better stats, but don't discount lower-tier weapons, especially early on. Sometimes a common pistol is all you've got! Your goal is to get your hands on a 'Loadout Drop'. This is a special item you can call in that lets you pick the exact weapons you want to use, along with perks. Getting your custom loadout is a huge power spike, so prioritize finding or earning enough Cash to buy one from a Buy Station if you can't find a Loadout Drop. Keep an eye out for different weapon classes like Assault Rifles, SMGs, Sniper Rifles, and more. Experimenting is key to finding what feels best for your playstyle. Good luck out there!
