Thanks to WZRanked.com, we can see Warzone Pacific Season 1’s most popular weapons. So, here are the top ten, along with the most popular attachments.
Most popular guns & loadouts in Warzone
10. M13 – 2.07%
It’s surprising to see the M13 back in Warzone’s 10 most popular weapons, but it’s beaten out some of the best guns in the game such as Cold War’s AK-47 and the M4A1.
What makes the M13 such a popular pick is its extremely low recoil, where it takes no effort at all to keep it firing straight. Low-recoil builds are always a popular choice, and the M13 certainly fills that role.
Most popular M13 Warzone loadout
- Muzzle: Monolithic Suppressor
- Barrel: Tempus Marksman
- Optic: VLK 3.0x Optic
- Underbarrel: Commando Foregrip
- Ammunition: 60 Round Mags
9. Grau 5.56 – 2.16%
When Warzone was first released in March 2020, the Grau 5.56 was king. With almost no recoil and the cleanest Iron Sight the game had to offer, almost every player ran the Grau. Now in Warzone Pacific Season 1, it has avoided the nerfs that have hit other ARs and remained a popular choice.
Many Grau users use it as their ‘Fully Loaded’ weapon, which they can take to get full ammo when grabbing a loadout after returning from the Gulag. However, all Vanguard guns have this capability, so the VLK 3.0x Optic is back in demand.
Most popular Grau 5.56 Warzone loadout
- Muzzle: Monolithic Suppressor
- Barrel: Tempus 26.4″ Archangel
- Optic: VLK 3.0x Optic
- Underbarrel: Commando Foregrip
- Ammunition: 60 Round Mags
8. Kilo 141 – 2.35%
Very similar to the M13, the Kilo 141 is an excellent weapon for players looking for a low-recoil gun to beam enemies at range.
The Kilo isn’t the most powerful Assault Rifle in the game, but it kills slightly faster than the M13 – even with a slower fire rate. You won’t burn through your ammo immediately, making it a great choice to carry around both Caldera and Rebirth Island.
Most popular Kilo 141 Warzone loadout
- Muzzle: Monolithic Suppressor
- Barrel: Singuard Arms 19.8″ Prowler
- Optic: VLK 3.0x Optic
- Underbarrel: Commando Foregrip
- Ammunition: 60 Round Mags
7. Vanguard PPSH-41 – 2.43%
Vanguard weapons have dominated the meta since their arrival, and the PPSH-41 is the perfect SMG.
With incredible hip-fire accuracy and surprisingly effective range for an SMG, it’s hard to go wrong with the PPSH-41 – especially in the Vanguard Royale. We expect its popularity to keep rising if it doesn’t get nerfed in a future update.
Most popular Vanguard PPSH-41 loadout:
- Muzzle: Recoil Booster
- Barrel: Kovalevskaya 230mm B03P
- Optic: Slate Reflector
- Stock: Removed Stock
- Underbarrel: Carver Foregrip
- Magazine: 8mm Nambu 71 Round Mags
- Ammunition: Incendiary
- Rear Grip: Pine Tar Grip
- Perk 1: Tight Grip
- Perk 2: Quick
6. Swiss K31 – 6.20%
Raven Software has been hard at work fine-tuning Cold War’s Sniper Rifles in Warzone and now, they seem to have got the Swiss K31 into a great spot. Raven did decrease its flinch resistance on December 9 but then buffed it again on December 15.
Its direct counterpart is Modern Warfare’s Kar98k as they’re both quick and highly versatile snipers. Not much sets the two apart now, and some even prefer the Swiss. Its high bullet velocity means that you hardly need to lead shots, and its magazine gives it a solid reload time compared to the Kar98k.
Most popular Swiss K31 Warzone loadout
- Muzzle: GRU Suppressor
- Barrel: 24.9″ Combat Recon
- Laser: SWAT 5mw Laser Sight
- Underbarrel: Bruiser Grip
- Rear Grip: Serpent Grip
5. STG44 – 7.09%
The STG44 acts similarly to Modern Warfare’s M4A1, being an excellent all-rounder for Caldera.
With the bloom mechanic being removed now, the STG is even more powerful. It might not be the most powerful Assault Rifle in the game but is extremely easy to control, making it effective for players of all skill levels.
Its popularity has dropped slightly since the start of the season, but it’s likely to remain a powerful choice as we go into Season 2.
Most popular STG44 Warzone loadout
- Muzzle: MX Silencer
- Barrel: CDD 760mm 05B
- Optic: G16 2.5x
- Stock: VDD 34S Weighted
- Underbarrel: m1941 Hand Stop
- Magazine: 8mm Kurz 60 Round Drums
- Ammunition: Lengthened
- Rear Grip: Stippled Grip
- Perk 1: Vital
- Perk 2: Fully Loaded
4. Modern Warfare Kar98k – 7.29%
If you’re looking for a fast Sniper Rifle that’s easy to use, Modern Warfare’s Kar98k is the weapon for you. Although technically a Marksman Rifle, this bolt-action WW2 rifle is arguably Warzone’s best sniper.
The Kar98k has a solid ADS speed, and with its high bullet velocity, you’ll find it much easier to use than most other Sniper Rifles. You can effectively quickscope in close-range situations, and by leading your targets, hit some nasty longshots.
The Kar98k is the better choice for controller players, as YouTuber TrueGameData discovered that it has more aim assist than the Swiss. It’s no longer the most popular weapon but is still one of the best there is.
Most popular Kar98k Warzone loadout
- Muzzle: Monolithic Suppressor
- Barrel: Singuard Custom 27.6″ Barrel
- Laser: Tac Laser
- Optic: Sniper Scope
- Stock: FTAC Sport Comb
3. Cooper Carbine – 7.71%
Some low-recoil builds have made their way onto this list, but the Cooper Carbine beats them out in the damage department.
The Cooper Carbine arrived at the start of Warzone Pacific Season 1 and quickly became many players’ go-to. Again, it’s not the most powerful weapon in the game but its almost non-existent recoil and decent damage have made it the third most popular choice.
Most popular Cooper Carbine Warzone loadout
- Muzzle: MX Silencer
- Barrel: ZAC 760mm 05B
- Optic: G16 2.5x
- Stock: VDD 34S Weighted
- Underbarrel: m1941 Hand Stop
- Magazine: 7.62 Gorenko 50 Round Mags
- Ammunition: Lengthened
- Rear Grip: Polymer Grip
- Perk 1: Vital
- Perk 2: Fully Loaded
2. Bren – 11.35%
The Bren dominated the game over the holidays, and even though it saw nerfs, it’s held onto its spot as the second most popular gun in the game.
We’ve mentioned several low-recoil builds in this list, but the Bren had zero recoil over the holidays. This allowed it to beam enemies across the map with players not even needing to move the thumbstick to keep it shooting straight.
The weapon was nerfed in the January 7 update, but it’s still the best long-range option in Warzone Pacific.
The most popular Bren Warzone loadout
- Muzzle: Mercury Silencer
- Barrel: Queen’s 705mm Royal
- Optic: SVT-40 PU Scope 3-6x
- Stock: Queen’s Model 11HB
- Underbarrel: m1941 Hand Stop
- Magazine: 6.5 Sakura 40 Round Mags
- Ammunition: Lengthened
- Rear Grip: Polymer Grip
- Perk 1: Tight Grip
- Perk 2: Fully Loaded
1. MP40 – 15.19%
If you’re looking for a Vanguard SMG to use in either regular battle royale or Vanguard Royale, the MP40 is an excellent choice.
An incredibly popular Vanguard weapon, the MP40 has already been making waves in Warzone. Its minimal recoil and solid damage make it a standout choice for close-range fights, so you won’t ever feel at a disadvantage while using it.
It’s no wonder that the MP40 is the most popular weapon in the game, as it complements any possible loadout.
