Warzone Season 5 Reloaded Weapon Tier List
Keeping up with the strongest contenders in S5R has become a bit challenging due to numerous changes. Notably, the Chimera, FR Avancer, and Lachmann 556 have emerged as major winners, displaying significant improvements in damage output and range.
On the opposite side of the spectrum, the ISO Hemlock and Cronen Squall have once again been nerfed. Despite their previous resilience, they seem destined to occupy lower positions in our tier list and player preferences. To be cautious, we are placing them both in the B-Tier category until we see if they can overcome these nerfs as well.
After the changes made on August 30, both the FR Avancer and Chimera have been elevated to the A-Tier. These powerful weapons require some practice and skill in combat, but their damage output is truly remarkable.
Introducing the Lachmann Shroud, a brand new SMG that joins the B-Tier. This weapon is essentially a silenced and burst-fire version of the reliable and accurate Lachmann Sub. While it may not possess the ability to eliminate targets swiftly, it maintains the perfect balance and won’t disrupt the gameplay.
