WZ Ranked provides insight for Warzone players into the game's best & most popular weapons. Here's what it has to say about the best K/D ratios.

WZ Ranked is an incredible tool that allows Warzone fans to analyze what guns, perks, attachments, and equipment players are using. The site's data reflects what percentage of players use each item in their loadouts, as well as the average K/D while using a particular item. The weapons that have the highest average K/D are often the most-used guns in the game.

As of June of 2021, the guns with the best K/Ds might surprise many in the community. There have been a lot of balancing changes in the past couple of weeks, and three of the following guns have risen in usage as a result.

10 XM4 (1.04)

Ever since Raven fixed the bullet velocity issues with the XM4, it has been one of the sleeper picks in the top tier. Gamers can run the weapon with a sniper, as an SMG, or as a primary long range option.

The XM4 is one of only 12 weapons that have an average K/D of more than 1.0. That may seem low, but the average K/D in Warzone is around a 0.9. Less skilled players will appreciate the control and consistency of the weapon, while skilled players can take advantage of the competitive TTK at most ranges.

9 RAM-7 (1.05)

The RAM-7 has been one of the more under appreciated ARs for more than a year now. It has amazing damage values, a high fire rate, and good enough recoil to be controllable. At more that 20 meters, gamers will have to be proficient at recoil control to keep shots on target, however.

Like the XM4, the RAM can be used in a variety of ways, which is important in Warzone. The RAM competes with SMGs at point blank range, and has one of the highest long range TTKs in the game.

8 Swiss K31 (1.05)

Changes to Cold War optics may have an impact on how many players are using the gun. The Axial Arms 3x and Royal & Kross 4x no longer have enough visual zoom to be effective optics.

In the short time period between the Swiss buff and the optic changes, the gun was S tier in Warzone. The Swiss became a slightly slower Kar 98k without optic glint. It remains to be seen how good the sniper will perform in the future, and usage may drop as well.

7 AK-74U (1.06)

Just over one percent of players pick up the AK-74U in their loadouts. They must know something everyone else doesn't, because the SMG appears to be performing very well. Recoil pattern and a low base theoretical TTK make the gun look far from ideal. Despite these downsides, the AK-74U is actually competitive if people can hit a couple of headshots.

Like the MAC-10 and Bullfrog, headshots will have an immense impact on the average TTK when using the gun. To those who have not used it yet, the data suggests it might be worth a shot.

6 VLK Rogue (1.06)

The VLK Rogue is an outlier in this list. Before the Origin 12, R9-0, and Streetsweeper, a small percentage of players roamed the map with the pump shotgun. In the first half of 2021, less than 0.1 percent of gamers have been using the shotgun in their loadouts.

At one point, the VLK Rogue with Dragon's Breath Rounds was a good secondary in Warzone, but there is too small of a sample size to take the figure seriously. The Gallo or LC10 would have made the list if the VLK did not have such a high average K/D.

5 PPSH-41 (1.07)

A recent nerf and an upgraded Suppressor have made the PPSH a top five SMG. Recoil at range and damage values beyond 15 meters hold back the gun somewhat.

Within 15 meters, the PPSH can compete with the MP5s. Still, it does seem odd that the K/D for the gun is so high given that the buff was just a couple of weeks ago. Maybe it is better than players think.

4 MAC-10 (1.08)

The data for the MAC-10 may be skewed slightly, due to how broken it was in December 2020 and January 2021. After several nerfs, the MAC-10 is in a good place in terms of balance. The gun has the best movement in the SMG class, even though it will not instantly delete enemies like it once did.

Movement and strafe speed make a larger impact on gameplay than many in the community realize. The MAC-10 allows players to pull off plays and maneuvers that they would not be able to with any other weapon. While the historical K/D may be inflated, the MAC-10 is still a really fun gun to use.

3 AK-47 CW (1.13)

Since the recoil on this AK was slightly reduced, it has become a powerful close range secondary weapon. In terms of DPS, the AK is as good as any gun in the game apart from the AS VAL. Unlike the AS VAL, the AK has larger magazines, making it viable when challenging entire teams. The gun still has considerable recoil, and the iron sights are not optimal.

Skilled players will be able to control the gun's kick and eliminate enemies quicker than almost any gun in the game. Even with the slight movement reductions, the AK is top tier when used as an SMG.

2 Streetsweeper (1.20)

Hip fire nerfs do not change the fact that the Streetsweeper is a menace up close. With a huge drum and high DPS up to around 5 meters, the Streetsweeper is a stairwell killer. Players of all skill levels will be able to have success with the gun at point blank range.

The shotgun was so good that Raven removed it from the standard ground loot in Warzone. The only issue with the weapon is reload speed, as the shells need to be loaded one by one. As long as gamers are not in a tight situation though, reloading should not be too much of an issue.

1 CR-56 AMAX (1.26)

Minimal changes have not ruined the viability of the AMAX. Yes, it was far more dominant at the beginning of the season, but with a few headshots, the AMAX will still feel like the same gun. However, the slow fire rate can penalize missed shots.

As a sniper support or a primary weapon, the AMAX competes with the best options in Warzone. It is likely that the weapon will regress to the mean as the season progresses, but expect it to remain in the high K/D category.
