Ranks and builds from the public WZStats.gg Warzone meta (Battle Royale), checked 28 October 2026. Builds are for Battle Royale. Ranks are each gun's position within its role on the tracker.

Coming up: Modern Warfare 4 joins Warzone with its Season 1 update, reported for 6 November 2026. From then, guns from earlier games lose Gunsmith and use a fixed five-attachment version, so these builds stop applying.

How to read it

The trackers rank guns separately for long range, close range and sniping, because a Warzone loadout carries one of each kind of job. Pick your long range gun from the top of that list and your close range gun from the top of the other, and you have a meta loadout. The ranks move after every balance patch, so check the date at the top before you build.
