After a long wait, Warzone Ranked Play has finally made its way to Urzikstan, and players will want to equip the best loadouts if they hope to climb the ranks. While the Warzone Ranked Play experience previously made its way to Resurgence, it's now on Warzone's big map, effectively altering the meta.
Interestingly enough, the Call of Duty devs have implemented several changes that have shaken up the competitive mode. Most importantly, weapons from MW2 and MW3 have been banned. Players must choose from Black Ops 6's gun arsenal to create the best Warzone Ranked Play loadouts.
Warzone's Best Long-Range Ranked Play Weapons
XM4
- Muzzle: Compensator
- Barrel: Reinforced Barrel
- Underbarrel: Vertical Foregrip
- Magazine: Extended Mag II
- Rear Grip: Ergonomic Grip
- Optic: Willis 3x or Jason Armory 2x
- Stock: Buffer Weight Stock
- Fire Mod: Recoil Springs
The XM4 looks like the most well-balanced weapon for Warzone Ranked Play. Its excellent all-around stats make it a versatile choice for Urzikstan. Thanks to a friendly recoil pattern, it's one of the easiest weapons to use. Most of the attachments above focus on improving accuracy and recoil control.
10 Best Weapons in Call of Duty: Warzone Season 01, Ranked
Call of Duty: Warzone’s integration with Black Ops 6 has finally happened, kicking off Season 01, and a host of new guns rank among the best to use.
You'll notice that there are eight suggested attachments for our long-range loadouts. This is to factor in players who may want to use the Gunfighter Wildcard on long-range weapons when they arrive at their second loadout crate. In other words, you may want to create one loadout with Overkill and one with Gunfighter for each long-range weapon.
In this case, you can drop the Fire Mod, Rear Grip, and Stock attachments when building the XM4 with Overkill. Pairing it with the Jackal PDW or PP-919 is a great idea to cover any close-range fights.
GPR 91
- Muzzle: Compensator
- Barrel: Gain-Twist Barrel
- Underbarrel: Vertical Foregrip
- Magazine: Extended Mag II
- Rear Grip: Ergonomic Grip
- Optic: Willis 3x or Jason Armory 2x
- Stock: Infiltrator Stock
- Fire Mod: Recoil Springs
The GPR 91 is quickly emerging as the top Assault Rifle option in Warzone Ranked Play among streamers and elite players. Thanks to a Season 1 Reloaded buff to bullet velocity, the GPR 91 can produce blistering TTK speeds.
The XM4 is still likely the best weapon available, but the GPR 91 is not far behind. You'll want to try both to see which weapon you prefer. With the above attachments like the Vertical Foregrip and Recoil Springs maximizing recoil control and accuracy, you should have no problem hitting your shots. For the GPR 91's Overkill loadout, you'll want to drop the Infiltrator Stock, Recoil Springs, and Ergonomic Grip.
XMG
- Muzzle: Compensator
- Barrel: Gain-Twist Barrel
- Underbarrel: Vertical Foregrip
- Magazine: Extended Mag I
- Rear Grip: Quickdraw Grip
- Optic: Willis 3x or Jason Armory 2x
- Stock: Buffer Weight Stock
- Fire Mod: 7.62 Nato Overpressured
In a grand departure from the Assault Rifle category, the XMG is proving its worth as a top long-range weapon in Warzone Ranked Play. The best BO6 LMGlacks the mobility and speed of an AR, but it makes up for it with more firepower.
The XMG has been a great choice for players on Warzone's Area 99 map, but it's been outclassed by a few Assault Rifles. However, given Urzikstan's massive battleground, don't be surprised to see the XMG take over the top spot.
This loadout is built for long-range engagements with the Vertical Foregrip and Compensator keeping the weapon steady. Meanwhile, the 7.62 Nato Overpressured attachment will ensure optimal bullet velocity. Dropping the Extended Mag 1, Quickdraw Grip, and Compensator is highly recommended for an Overkill loadout.
Warzone's Best Close-Range Ranked Play Weapons
Jackal PDW
- Muzzle: Compensator
- Barrel: Reinforced Barrel
- Underbarrel: Ranger Foregrip
- Magazine: Extended Mag II
- Rear Grip: Ergonomic Grip
The Jackal PDW has been the most dominant Black Ops 6 SMG in Warzone since launch and that remains true for the competitive Ranked Play experience. There's no denying that the Jackal will prove to be a difficult weapon to tame at times. However, once you get the hang of it, no other SMG will kill your enemies as fast.
Unlike Warzone's Resurgence maps like Rebirth Island or Area 99, Urzikstan favors long-range gunfights. Nonetheless, there are still plenty of cramped buildings where close-range SMGs will shine. The Gain-Twist Barrel will boost the weapon's bullet velocity, while the Ranger Foregrip and Ergonomic Grip enhance control and speed respectively.
PP-919
- Muzzle: Compensator
- Barrel: Reinforced Barrel
- Rear Grip: Ergonomic Grip
- Stock: No Stock
- Fire Mod: 9x18MM Makarov Overpressured
What makes the PP-919 such a special weapon for Warzone Ranked Play is its massive standard magazine size. Therefore, you don't need to waste a slot on a Magazine attachment.
This SMG is the perfect choice for speed demons who like to outplay their opponents with expert movement. The No Stock attachment will have you flying around the map, while the Reinforced Barrel and Compensator will give you the extra range and control to take out multiple enemies at once.
Warzone's Best Ranked Play Sniper
LR 7.62
- Barrel: Long Barrel
- Underbarrel: Lightweight Handguard
- Rear Grip: Quickdraw Grip
- Laser: Target Laser
- Fire Mod: 7.62 Nato Overpressured
The LR 7.62 Sniper Rifle will give you the confidence to win long-range gunfights across Urzikstan. Black Ops 6's best Sniper is the perfect Warzone Ranked Play weapon to deal with pesky players who like to spend their time on tall structures. Simply knock your opponent with a well-placed shot to the head and call in a Precision Airstrike to secure the kill.
There's no reason to complicate things when it comes to the optimal attachments for the LR 7.62. This combination focuses on increasing the weapon's maximum damage range and handling.
Warzone's Best Ranked Play Perks & Equipment
Picking The Right Combo Is Essential
- Tactical: Stim Shot
- Lethal: Frag
- Perk 1: Survivor
- Perk 2: Sprinter
- Perk 3: Tempered
- Wildcard: Overkill or Gunfighter
Compared to weapon selection, there's a lot more freedom of choice when it comes to picking the best Perks and Equipment for Warzone Ranked Play. Players can choose the combination that best suits their playstyle.
The above selection is a great place to start, but feel free to make alterations as you go and test out your performance in Ranked Play matches. The Frag and Stim Shot combination is a tried and true duo in Warzone that will increase your survivability.
When it comes to Perks, Tempered will allow you to reach full health with only two plates instead of three. Then, Survivor enables you to regenerate health faster, and Sprinter offers infinite tactical sprint. This trio will further boost your ability to survive on the run in the competitive mode.
Lastly, the choice between Overkill and Gunfighter is situational. You'll want to grab your Overkill loadout first. If the opportunity to switch to a long-range Gunfighter loadout presents itself, don't hesitate to switch over.
Utilizing the best Warzone Ranked Play loadouts is a great way to survive in the highly competitive BR experience. Competition will be fierce in Season 1 as players aim to climb from Bronze to the Top 250 leaderboard.
