The Top 5 Best Assault Rifles in Warzone Season 5, Ranked

In Warzone Season 5 Reloaded, the recent patch brought about numerous weapon changes, particularly impacting assault rifles. Consequently, players are eager to understand which rifles are now favored and which ones have fallen out of favor. Below, we present the top five ranked assault rifles in Warzone Season 5 Reloaded.

The weapon changes in Season 5 Reloaded surpassed our expectations, affecting numerous weapons with both buffs and nerfs. Notably, the Chimera, FR Avancer, M13B, and Lachmann 556 received buffs, while the ISO Hemlock underwent a nerf.

After careful consideration of the changes, we have identified the top five strongest options in Warzone at present.

5) FR Avancer

Thanks to the buffs it received in S5R, the FR Avancer has finally made its mark by improving its close-range and long-range damage outputs. This enhancement guarantees quicker eliminations across all ranges.

Although recoil remains an issue, the AR in the BR is currently one of the most powerful weapons due to its precise firing. However, it is advisable to equip extended magazines to ensure an ample ammunition supply.

• Magazine: 60 Round Mag
• Underbarrel: Lockgrip Precision-40
• Muzzle: Corvus Slash Gen. 2
• Stock: FR Sprinter
• Optic: Cronen Mini Pro

4) Chimera

The Chimera stands out among its peers with its exceptional speed of fire, surpassing most guns in its category. However, it should be noted that its drawbacks lie in its recoil and range capabilities, making it comparatively more challenging to manage than many other similar weapons.

In Season 5’s mid-season update, we have introduced yet another buff that brings it up to fourth place. Our main focus remains on enhancing its medium range performance and accuracy through carefully selected attachments.

• Underbarrel: Lockgrip Precision-40
• Barrel: 6.5″ EXF OP-40
• Rear Grip: D37 Grip
• Optic: Cronen Mini Pro
• Magazine: 45 Round Mag

3) Tempus Razorback

As Season 5 progresses, players are becoming increasingly fond of the Tempus Razorback AR due to its rapid fire-rate, reliable handling, and respectable range. Furthermore, a damage boost in S5R has further solidified its position as a strong contender, securing the bronze medal spot.

The weapon’s slight bounce sets it apart from others, but it poses a challenge when trying to maintain effectiveness at longer distances. This is why we have carefully selected attachments that greatly enhance its usability, enabling accurate shots and quick elimination of enemies.

• Magazine: 45 Round Mag
• Optic: Aim OP-V4
• Stock: TR Preamble
• Underbarrel: Lockgrip Precision-40
• Rear Grip: Casus X

2) Kastov 762

The Kastov 762, formerly our beloved AR in Warzone, lost its appeal and popularity due to heightened recoil and reduced headshot damage. Nevertheless, it has made an impressive resurgence claiming the second spot, thanks to its remarkable firepower and impressive range. Its only notable downside remains the recoil.

This is why our attachments prioritize stabilization and accuracy. The damage, range, and handling of the weapon are already formidable. Equipped with these attachments, you will undoubtedly become the favored contender in almost any gunfight you engage in.

• Muzzle: Eight-Point Flash Hider
• Barrel: KAS-10 584mm Barrel
• Optic: Aim OP-V4
• Underbarrel: Lockgrip Precision-40
• Mag: 40 Round Mag

1) M13B

Since its introduction in Season One, the M13B has undergone continuous improvements, making it one of the most outstanding assault rifles in the game. The enhancements in damage and range have played a significant role in its rise to the top. Moreover, Season 5 brought about an increase in headshot lethality, further augmenting its capabilities. With the subsequent update in Season 5 Reloaded, the damage multipliers were also boosted, leaving us with no option but to rank it as the best assault rifle.

Our goal is to enhance the accuracy and range of this assault rifle by utilizing attachments, as it already boasts an impressive fire-rate. Although it excels in close quarters combat, it does face difficulties at longer distances due to damage drop off and recoil.

• Optic: Aim OP-V4
• Underbarrel: Lockgrip Precision-40
• Rear Grip: D37 Grip
• Magazine: 60 Round Mag
• Stock: Bruen R90 Factory
