It's November and Call of Duty season is in full swing. Call of Duty: Black Ops 6's Season 01 is here, complete with fresh maps, modes, operators, skins, and more. And as usual with new COD releases, Warzone has now been integrated with the new game with the release of Season 01. This means a host of Black Ops 6 features coming to the hugely popular battle royale, including Omnimovement, new weapons, a prestige system, the ability to take players hostage, and much more. A new map has arrived as well, called Area 99, designed for Resurgence game modes.

While these updates have a huge effect on Warzone and the way it's played, there may be nothing more game-changing than the new weapons. While players have already been using Black Ops 6's weapons in multiplayer, the release of Warzone Season 01 has seen many weapons nerfed or buffed. There has always been a vast and dedicated Warzone community online and with each annual COD release, players race to forums to discuss what the new meta loadouts are. This release is no different, and in Warzone especially, having good knowledge of weapons, their best use cases, and the best attachments to use with them is key to success.

The intricacies of a new batch of COD weapons can feel intimidating and incredibly complex for newer players and returning players alike. Weapons in each class often have such small damage, range, and recoil differences that it can be difficult to know which one will have your back in that final round firefight. With the addition of a huge array of attachment combinations, perks, and the new Wildcards, the whole thing is made even more complicated. This list of the best 10 weapons in Warzone's Season 01 will prove useful to anyone looking to win.

10 Combat Knife (Melee)

Its Potential As A Deadly Force Should Not Be Underestimated

One of the new features coming to Warzone is the addition of Black Ops 6's dedicated melee weapon feature. Players can hold down the melee button and take out either a combat knife or baseball bat, offering a quick option for close-quarters combat. Although it's true, the Combat Knife doesn't offer much in of versatility, its potential as a deadly force should not be underestimated.

In multiplayer, players have already learned to take advantage of its speed, one-shot capability, and silence, making it able to clear a house or other cover position with ease if enemies are caught by surprise. This weapon could very well be something to watch out for on the battlefield in the weeks to come. Teams that hole up in houses or on rooftops may not be prepared for a tactical-sprinting, Omnimovement-diving Combat Knife wielder.

9 BP50 (SMG)

A Deadly Mix Of Low Recoil And A High Rate Of Fire

This is one of the better SMGs from the new batch of weapons, packing an extremely deadly mix of low recoil and a high rate of fire. The BP50 is an easy choice for any players wanting to run-and-gun, with attachments further enabling it to mow down multiple enemies at close range. Close-range encounters in general, specifically in the smaller Resurgence mode, should not be overlooked as a significant part of Warzone and an important scenario to be prepared for.

Many Warzone players focus on longer-range weapons because of the size of certain areas of the various maps, but there are plenty of tight corridors and small rooms to be found across all modes. Players would be remiss not to look into the BP50 and particularly the Jackal PDW (ranked higher on this list) for dealing with close-range fights.

8 XMG (LMG)

One Of The Best LMG Options

The XMG is one of the best LMG options in Black Ops 6. Although it has fantastic damage and ammo capacity as is expected with LMGs, the real quality that stands out from the XMG is its easily manageable recoil.

The XMG is one of the best LMG options in Black Ops 6.

Players have been creating builds attempting to reduce this recoil down to almost zero, making this weapon an incredible option for medium and long-range engagements. As with other LMGs, Fast Mag is this gun's best friend, as well as a good optic. These attachments will help mitigate some of the pitfalls of LMGs in general and make the XMG a force to be reckoned with.

7 AK-74 (Assault Rifle)

Offers Some Of The Highest Damage-Per-Round In Its Class

The AK-74 is a solid choice in the assault rifle department, offering some of the highest damage-per-round in its class. This weapon can completely blow enemies away at various ranges if used correctly in skilled hands.

The problem with this gun, however, is how difficult it is to use. The recoil is extremely hard to control, and it can be slow handling-wise as well, but if players use attachments correctly to address the recoil and speed problems, this weapon can be devastating. As far as assault rifles go, though, this weapon may need a few more firing range sessions to get it feeling comfortable and useable.

6 Jackal PDW (SMG)

It Has Incredible Mobility And Rate Of Fire

This SMG is one of the best options available currently for close-range engagements. With incredible mobility and rate of fire, this gun is capable of mowing down entire teams at close-range. Although it is a fairly high-level unlock, once players get their hands on this weapon, they will not let it go.

Particularly useful on Resurgence and when moving through more congested city areas on the full-size map, this gun is a must-have for any players that like to use two primary weapons in their loadouts. It works well as a secondary for a sniper rifle or LMG, enabling players to cover all bases when fighting their way to victory.

5 Model L (Assault Rifle)

Fantastic Time-To-Kill And Precision

Black Ops 6's Model L is one of the longer-range assault rifles of the new batch, offering fantastic time-to-kill and accuracy even at farther distances. This assault rifle is slightly slower than others available in of base aiming and general handling, but this can be mitigated through the use of attachments such as foregrips and stocks. This is one of the better choices in the game as an all-rounder for the full-sized Warzone mode, as there are plenty of long-distance engagements to be had and other assault rifles struggle in that department.

4 Grekhova (Sidearm/Handgun)

One Of The Best Choices For A Sidearm

As strange as it may sound, one of the standout weapons of Black Ops 6's launch is a sidearm, the Grekhova. This handgun packs an incredible punch despite the unavoidable pitfalls of its class, namely low range and ammo capacity.

The Grekhova is undoubtedly one of the best choices for a sidearm thanks to its fully automatic capability and accuracy, allowing it to not only save a player in a tight situation but also to deal some real damage. This handgun is capable of more than most sidearms and is a must-have in any loadout requiring a quick and deadly secondary.

3 XM4 (Assault Rifle)

A Fantastic And Easy-To-Use That Still Has Its Value

The XM4 is the first assault rifle unlocked in Black Ops 6's multiplayer and is one of the easiest to use. It is a fantastic all-around workhorse of an assault rifle, able to be modified for close or long range effectiveness through attachments.

This gun has already been extremely popular in Black Ops 6's multiplayer and is capable of mowing down enemies at most ranges. Its recoil is extremely manageable and packs good damage with a solid rate of fire. This gun has not seen much of a change since Black Ops 6's release and is still one of the best choices to build a Warzone loadout around.

2 LR 7.62 (Sniper Rifle)

It Can Wipe Out Entire Teams From Afar

The LR 7.62 is one of the best sniper options available in the game currently and is capable of wiping out entire teams from afar. It has a great rate of fire and plenty of damage, enabling players to pick enemies off from several in-game miles away.

Although it can be modified to improve speed and handling for Resurgence, using overpressured rounds and variable-zoom scopes on this gun will bring fantastic results on the full-size map. Don't forget to have a good secondary (like the Grekhova) in case of surprise attacks.

1 KATT-AMR (Sniper Rifle)

An Incredibly Deadly Weapon

One of the most powerful weapons in the game round-for-round (if not the most powerful), the KATT-AMR is an incredibly deadly sniper rifle. It has been popular with players in multiplayer precisely for that reason: its incredible damage. This sniper will one-shot almost anything that moves if aimed at the head, and has incredible penetration that can even take out enemies through walls and other cover. If in the hands of an accurate shooter, this weapon is capable of taking out multiple teams before they can even find out where the shots are coming from.

If in the hands of an accurate shooter, this weapon is capable of taking out multiple teams before they can even find out where the shots are coming from.

If paired with a second primary weapon like an SMG or Assault Rifle, good players can become unstoppable using this sniper. A Jackal PDW, for example, is an incredible pairing for maximum devastation. This gun is essential for any good Warzone Season 01 loadout after Call of Duty: Black Ops 6's integration, and will be invaluable for players looking to gain an edge on the battlefield.
