Warzone Season 3 Weapons Tierlist

The launch of Warzone Season 3 brought back the legendary map — Verdansk, now reworked and improved. Every map has its own unique terrain, engagement ranges, playstyle, and of course, the weapons that perform best in that environment. Verdansk is no exception. In this blog, I’ve put together a detailed tier list of top-performing weapons for every role in the current meta.
Top Long-Range Weapons for the Warzone Season 3

Let’s start with Long-Range Weapons — the tools that dominate from a distance. In Warzone, long-range guns are the backbone of strategic gameplay. They let you eliminate enemies before they even realize where the shot came from.
This tier list includes what I believe are the top long-range options right now, based on the current meta, weapon stats after the latest patch, and of course, some personal experience.
It’s not a one-size-fits-all list — if you feel more comfortable using something else, that’s totally fine. The most important thing is having control and confidence in every gunfight. Let’s dive in.
Weapon | Tier | Description | Strengths | Meta Attachments |
CR-56 AMAX | S-tier | One of the best for long-range thanks to high damage and penetration power. | Damage, range, armor penetration | Monolithic Suppressor, XRK Zodiac S440, VLK 3.0x Optic, Commando Foregrip, 45 Round Mags |
Kilo 141 | S-tier | Ideal for long-range due to minimal recoil and stable performance. | Control, accuracy, consistency | Monolithic Suppressor, Singuard Arms 19.8" Prowler, VLK 3.0x Optic, Commando Foregrip, 60 Round Mags |
SWAT 5.56 | S-tier | Fast fire rate but struggles with control and damage at range. | Fire rate | Agency Suppressor, 15.9" Ranger, Axial Arms 3x, Field Agent Grip, 45 Rnd Mag |
Cypher 091 | S-tier | Beam-like precision with great stability, very reliable at range. | Control, accuracy | VT-7 Spiritfire Suppressor, Cypher Heavy Barrel, Slate Reflector/ 3x, Bruen Heavy Support Grip, 50 Round Drum |
GPR 91 | S-tier | Semi-auto weapon with great precision and power, but punishes missed shots. | Damage, precision fire | VT-7 Spiritfire Suppressor, GPR Precision Barrel, Schlager 3.4x, Bruen Support Grip, 40 Round Mag |
I’ve included the most relevant Long-Range Weapons in the current meta, along with their key strengths and best-in-slot attachments. Of course, this is more of a recommendation than a strict list — in the end, it all comes down to your personal playstyle.
Meta Close Range Weapons for the New Warzone Season 3

Let’s move on to Close Range Weapons — the go-to choice for up-close combat. When you find yourself in tight spaces or intense close-range firefights, having a fast-firing, reliable weapon is a must. The guns listed below are built for those moments — with high mobility, strong damage output, and lightning-fast reaction time, they’re perfect for dominating in close quarters.
Weapon | Tier | Description | Strengths | Meta Attachments |
KSV | S-tier | Dominates close-quarters with insane fire rate and mobility. | Fire rate, mobility, hipfire | Shadowstrike Suppressor, Rapid Response Barrel, Slate Reflector, DR-6 Handstop, 48 Round Mag |
C9 | S-tier | Fast and precise, great for aggressive playstyles. | Control, fire rate, strafe speed | Sonic Suppressor, C9 Agile Barrel, Slate Reflector, DR-6 Handstop, 40 Round Mag |
SAUG | S-tier | Snappy and quick, but TTK is outclassed by top SMGs. | Mobility, ADS speed | Shadowstrike Suppressor, SAUG Light Barrel, Nydar Model 2023, DR-6 Handstop, 36 Round Mag |
KOMPAKT 92 | S-tier | High handling and TTK make it a solid, underrated pick. | Versatility, TTK, handling | Sonic Suppressor, Kompakt Precision Barrel, Slate Reflector, DR-6 Handstop, 45 Round Mag |
PPSh-41 | S-tier | Big mag and retro vibe, but weak recoil control hurts its consistency. | Magazine size, spray potential | Recoil Booster, ZAC 300mm Barrel, Slate Reflector, Mark VI Skeletal, 71 Round Mag |
This type of weapon really shines in the late stages of a match, when the zone has closed in and close-quarters combat is unavoidable. That’s why it’s important to plan for the endgame in advance and make sure a reliable close-range option is part of your loadout.
Sniper Tier list for the New Warzone Season 3

In my opinion, playing as a sniper is one of the most challenging roles in Warzone. You have to juggle a thousand things at once — maintain precise aim, pick smart positions, manage your movement — and often do it all with zero room for error. Everyone kind of hates a good sniper... but when that sniper is you, or they're on your team, it’s a whole different story.
Weapon | Tier | Description | Strengths | Meta Attachments |
HDR | S-tier | Classic long-range beast with great bullet velocity and one-shot potential. | Bullet velocity, accuracy, power | Monolithic Suppressor, 26.9" HDR Pro Barrel, Tac Laser, Variable Zoom Scope, FTAC Stalker-Scout |
LR 7.62 | S-tier | Reliable and consistent, solid all-around sniper for long engagements. | Stability, control, precision | Sonic Suppressor XL, LR Factory Barrel, SP-X 80 6.6x, Heavy Support Grip, High Grain Rounds |
LW3A1 FROSTLINE | S-tier | Balanced sniper with crisp handling and reliable one-shot at range. | Handling, consistency, range | Agency Suppressor, 28.2" Tiger Team Barrel, Royal & Kross 4x, Serpent Wrap, 7 Rnd Mag |
Kar98k | A-tier | Fastest handling and quickscoping beast — deadly in skilled hands. | ADS speed, mobility, precision | Sonic Suppressor, 660mm Barrel, VLK LZR 7mW, Aim-OP V4, Featherweight Stock |
KATT-AMR | A-tier | High-damage anti-personnel sniper, excellent for long hold angles. | One-shot kill, range, power | Sonic Suppressor XL, KATT-XL Barrel, SP-X 80 6.6x, Heavy Support Grip,.50 Cal High Velocity Ammo |
FJX Imperium | A-tier | Modern Intervention — fast rechamber, stylish feel, and massive power. | Fast rechamber, kill power, handling | Nilsound 90 Suppressor, Fahrenheit 29" Barrel, FJX Blast, SP-X 80 6.6x,.408 Explosive Rounds |
Victus XMR | A-tier | Powerful heavy sniper with excellent range and stopping power. | Range, damage, one-shot potential | Bruen Counter-Ops, Mack 8 33.5 Super Barrel, VLK 4.0, XRK Rise 50, High Velocity Ammo |
MORS | A-tier | Hitscan feel and smooth bolt action — amazing for aggressive sniper play. | Speed, bolt-action smoothness | Sonic Suppressor, Precision Barrel, Quickscope Optic, Feather Bolt, High Grain Rounds |
XRK Stalker | A-tier | Fastest modern bolt-action with precise follow-up shots. | ADS speed, rechamber speed | Shadowstrike Suppressor, XRK Stalker Heavy Barrel, SP-X 80 6.6x, Sprint Grip, Light Bolt System |
The weapons on this list are great for long-range engagements and holding down positions with confidence. Each sniper rifle has its own characteristics, so it’s important to choose the one that feels comfortable and consistent for you. A reliable sniper on the team is always a strong advantage.
Sniper-Support Tier List for the Warzone Season 3

Sniper rifles are rarely effective up close, which is why they almost always need solid support. Below is a list of weapons that perfectly complement sniper gameplay and help cover weaknesses at close to mid-range.
Weapon | Tier | Description | Strengths | Meta Attachments |
AK-74 | S-tier | Great TTK and mobility make it a top-tier sniper support option. | TTK, mobility, handling | Shadowstrike Suppressor, 5.45mm Rapid Barrel, Slate Reflector, DR-6 Handstop, 45 Round Mag |
CR-56 AMAX | S-tier | Still hits hard up close — great hybrid feel for mid-range duels. | Damage, versatility, power | Monolithic Suppressor, XRK Zodiac S440, VLK 3.0x Optic, Commando Foregrip, 45 Round Mags |
Kilo 141 | S-tier | Laser-like accuracy with minimal recoil — ideal for supporting snipes. | Accuracy, control, ease of use | Monolithic Suppressor, Singuard Arms 19.8" Prowler, VLK 3.0x Optic, Commando Foregrip, 60 Round Mags |
GPR 91 | S-tier | Semi-auto precision and clean damage output for high-skill players. | Headshot damage, precision fire | VT-7 Spiritfire Suppressor, GPR Precision Barrel, Schlager 3.4x, Bruen Support Grip, 40 Round Mag |
Cypher 091 | S-tier | Perfect balance of control and aggression — very forgiving and versatile. | Control, accuracy, fire rate | VT-7 Spiritfire Suppressor, Cypher Heavy Barrel, Slate Reflector/ 3x, Bruen Heavy Support Grip, 50 Round Drum |
Even if you're a great sniper — everyone misses sometimes. To avoid being caught off guard in a dangerous moment, always keep a reliable support weapon close. These partners can help you survive any close encounter — and maybe even carry you to that sweet top-1.
Will top-tier weapons guarantee a Warzone win?
Even if you're fully geared with the best loadouts and meta attachments, sadly, that still doesn’t guarantee a top-1 finish. There are many factors that influence victory — and your weapon is just one tool on the path to success.
This Warzone Season 3 Weapons Tier List was made to help you navigate the current meta and boost your chances in battle. But as always — skill matters most. Hope this list was helpful or at least interesting. Good luck and have fun!
