Best Warzone Assault Rifle loadouts: Attachments & setups ranked
It doesn’t matter what map you’re playing, ARs are always a great option thanks to their versatility. To ensure you have optimized classes, use this list of the best assault rifles in Warzone Season 3 Reloaded, including recommended loadouts and attachments.
Assault rifles are the most adaptable weapons in Call of Duty. Whether you’re shooting an enemy ten or 150 meters away, an assault rifle can get the job done. An AR’s ability to perform in most situations is their greatest strength.
With meta LMGs like the DG-58 LSW and TAQ Eradicator getting buffed in Season 3 Reloaded, using the best ARs possible is a must to remain competitive. As such, you’ll want to avoid using sub-par builds and holding yourself back.
Warzone’s weapons aren’t all built equally though, so here are the best assault rifles to use in Call of Duty’s battle royale.

Best Assault Rifles in Warzone Season 3 Reloaded
These are the five best assault rifles to use in Warzone Season 3 Reloaded to make sure that you aren’t using suboptimal weapons and loadouts:
5. MTZ-556

- Muzzle: Zehmn35 Compensated Flash Hider
- Barrel: MTZ Clinch Pro Barrel
- Optic: JAK Glassless Optic
- Stock: MTZ Marauder Stock
- Magazine: 50 Round Drum
The MTZ-556 has been lurking on the edges of Warzone’s meta for a few seasons. It has never been top tier, but it is viable. Much more so than many players give it credit for. This AR is especially strong on Resurgence where you can keep to close and medium-range gunfights. It will take some practice to master its recoil, but the MTZ-556 is a genuinely great weapon if used right.
4. Holger 556

- Muzzle: VT-7 Spiritfire Suppressor
- Barrel: Chrios-6 Match
- Optic: JAK Glassless Optic
- Underbarrel: Bruen Heavy Support Grip
- Magazine: 40 Round Mag
You don’t hear too much about the Holger 556 but make no mistake, this is a meta weapon in Warzone Season 3 Reloaded. It’s just that its capped 40 Round Mag makes this AR difficult to run in Trios and Quads. However, in Solos and Duos, this is absolutely top-tier and one of the best assault rifles to use in those modes.
3. MCW (JAK Raven)

- Conversion Kit: JAK Raven Kit
- Muzzle: Zehmn35 Compensated Flash Hider
- Optic: JAK Glassless Optic
- Underbarrel: XRK Edge BW-4 Handstop
- Magazine: 40 Round Mag
The normal MCW is the easiest gun to use in Warzone but it’s not overly competitive. If you want a version of this AR that can hold its own in any lobby, try using the JAK Raven Kit instead. This transforms the MCW into a dominant medium-range option with both an incredible TTK and top-tier mobility. This loadout excels as a sniper support which is great because the MORS is meta in Season 3 Reloaded.
2. BP50

- Muzzle: Zehmn35 Compensated Flash Hider
- Barrel: Normandy-41 Short Barrel
- Underbarrel: DR-6 Handstop
- Magazine: 45 Round Mag
- Rear Grip: TRST-IV Grip Tape
While the BP50 is also extraordinary with the JAK Revenger kit equipped, that popular Aftermarket Part turns it into more of an SMG than an assault rifle. If you want a true AR that has outstanding mobility and handling, this loadout does just that. It’s easy to use, has incredible iron sights, and is extremely accurate making it viable at all ranges and a great option regardless of skill level.
1. SVA 545

- Muzzle: Zehmn35 Compensated Flash Hider
- Barrel: STV Precision Barrel
- Optic: JAK Glassless Optic
- Magazine: 60 Round Mag
- Rear Grip: Citadel Grip
The SVA 545 has received several nerfs in its time but surprisingly it went untouched in Season 3 Reloaded. By evading further nerfs the SVA 545 remains the best all-purpose assault rifle in Warzone for yet another season. Regardless of whether you prefer using it as a burst-fire or full auto weapon, this AR is easy to use and has a highly competitive TTK that helps it stand out from the other entries on this list.
