DBLTAP's weapon rifle tier list for Call of Duty: Warzone Season 5 Reloaded, updated for October 2022.

Our Warzone assault rifle tier list for October 2022 is here to go over which of the guns are the best to use now that the new meta has settled down a bit once again after the launch of what appears to be Raven Software's final major balancing update.

With the Season 5 Reloaded patch, not only did we get the all-new BP50 assault rifle and Lienna 57 LMG, but a handful of major changes were also made to various options in the weapon meta as well. As such, here is how the weapons stack up in Call of Duty: Warzone Season 5 Reloaded in October 2022.

October 2022 Warzone Weapon Rankings

S Tier

These options in the S Tier all form Warzone's weapon meta moving forward. Unfortunately, despite the nerfs they received, the UGM-8 and Armaguerra 43 will still dominate lobbies until further notice. Meanwhile, EM2 and CX-9 users are eating good as both guns have risen to S Tier thanks to their new buffs.

A Tier

In the A Tier are a wide variety of options that are top tier viable and remain generally very balanced to use in Warzone. Essentially, these options are right outside of the main meta but are still able to get the job done and allow you to be competitive.

B Tier

Swiss K31
Bren
Gallo SA12
Streetsweeper
DP27
Double Barrel
Type 99
MG42
Magnum
.50 GS
M82
AN-94
EX1
Combat Shotgun
Machine Pistol
AS VAL
LC10
Pelington 703
SA87
X16
Stoner 83
Uzi
TEC-9
FAL
Oden

These weapons in the B Tier remain viable in Season 5 Reloaded, but could all use some buffs to make more players seriously consider mastering them. Overall, these weapons are just fine but don't have anything that makes them stand out as fun or exciting options to use. A lot of these are fairly popular still but aren't as statistically sound compared to the guns above.

C Tier

SP-R 208
Dragunov
725
CARV.2
1911 (BOCW)
M1916
DMR 14
EBR-14
FR 5.56
Hauer 77
Holger-26
ISO
KSP 45
M19
M60
M91
MG34
Mk2 Carbine
Model 680
1911 (MW)
AK-47 (MW)
.357
Origin 12 Shotgun
R9-0 Shotgun
FN Scar 17

The C Tier includes guns that definitely could use a buff in Warzone. Taking a look at the list of options here, there just aren't any inspiring names worth grabbing in a custom loadout drop at the moment.

D Tier

SKS
Valois Revolver
Striker 45
Type 63
Marshal
.410 Ironhide
Einhorn Revolving
Gracey Auto
G-43
Nail Gun
RATT
Klauser

At this point in the tier list, these guns don't have a place in the meta at all. Although the higher end of this tier could perhaps be fine for players to still somehow get a kill or two, it gets pretty dreadful by the bottom of the list. The new Valois Revolver has dropped here, unfortunately, as it has simply proven to be less than ideal performance-wise. Unfortunately, unlike the P90, the Striker 45 is still not worth equipping at all.
