There are good guns to use in Warzone and there are bad ones. This is a list of the guns you don’t ever need to equip on your loadout.
Call of Duty: Warzone Season 1 currently has over 100 weapons you can find and use in your loadouts. These weapons come from both MW2 and MW3, with the former featuring quite a bit more options than the latter. However, with the majority of the focus being on the new MW3 weapons, you might want to make loadouts around these guns. While you are free to pick and choose what weapons you use, we feel there are five that you shouldn’t consider in the slightest.
The developers at Sledgehammer Games may decide to buff some of the worst-performing guns in Warzone in a future update, but for now, here’s our list of the five guns you should stay away from in Season 1. These weapons are in no particular order, as all of them aren’t strong in the slightest.
1. Sidewinder
This should go without saying to anyone who has played MW3 multiplayer, but the Sidewinder is arguably the worst weapon you can currently equip in Warzone. The Sidewinder is a dreadful battle rifle that has some of the worst damage range and slowest fire rate of any fully automatic MW3 weapon. It has virtually no redeeming qualities, even if you equip attachments to boost its damage or recoil control.
2. TYR
The days of the Akimbo Magnums dominating the map in Warzone are over, as the TYR is insufficient in just about every pertinent area. While it can deal some decent damage at close range, it simply shoots too slowly to down a fully armored enemy quickly enough. Pair this with a small magazine size and sluggish mobility and you have a pistol that doesn’t come in handy at any time.
3. Riveter
Shotguns might just be the most useless class in Season 1 of Warzone, as the three weapons available in the class are incredibly weak. Perhaps the weakest of the bunch is the Riveter, though, which is a semi-automatic shotgun that has a fast fire rate, but very little damage. As such, all you will see are hitmarkers if you attempt to shoot enemies with the Riveter.
4. Haymaker
Speaking of shotguns, the Haymaker is next up on the list as another weapon in the class that is essentially useless in Warzone. While the Haymaker does have slightly more potential than the Riveter, it’s still not an upgrade whatsoever over most other guns in the game. If you do attempt to use the Haymaker, you should only shoot enemies who are close enough to breathe on.
5. WSP Stinger
The final weapon on our list is the WSP Stinger, another secondary pistol. While you can treat the WSP Stinger like a mini-submachine gun, the damage on it is abysmal. It takes several more bullets to kill a fully-armored enemy with the Stinger than any other fully-auto weapon in Warzone. It has also extremely high recoil, even with the right loadout for it.
That wraps up our list of the top five worst guns in Warzone. Perhaps some of these weapons receive a buff in the future, but for now, it’s highly recommended to avoid these guns at all costs in Season 1.
