With the latest season Last Stand, there seem to be a lot of balance changes in Call of Duty: Warzone. The weapons especially have gone through lots of changes, so you can expect a shift in meta with these changes.
Generally, the stats of weapons and their loadouts change with every patch and season, so the meta keeps shifting in Warzone. However, there are some weapons that have managed to take the top spot even after many different updates.
In this article, we’ve discussed the current best weapon combinations in Warzone season 5, along with their best loadouts. These loadouts help push these weapons to their absolute limits making you a menace on the battlefield.
Best Weapon Classes in Current Warzone Meta (With Their Loadouts)
NZ-41 and H4 Blixen
The best weapon combination in Warzone seems to be the NZ-41 and H4 Blixen right now. The NZ-41 outputs massive damage with its solid fire rate and has a decent magazine size. It is currently the best mid and long-range weapon in Warzone. On the other hand, H4 Blixen completely dominates in close range.
Both long and close-range are covered with this weapon combination, and they both are also very deadly when it comes to performance. Here are the best loadouts that make these weapons shine even better.

UGM-8 and Marco 5
The UGM-8 might not be the best LMG right now, but it hits very hard with the right attachments and loadouts. It is also a very versatile weapon when it comes to combat. And with all the damage buffs it has received in the current patch, it is really a beast with the correct attachments.
And Marco 5 performs flawlessly in any close-range combat. Once you’ve learned the ins and outs of this SMG, getting kills won’t be a problem in Warzone. Here are the best loadouts for both UGM-8 and Marco 5 in Warzone season 5.

Automaton and Welgun
There is a reason why Automaton is so popular in Warzone. It has good firepower, less recoil than other ARs, and a very long attack range. With a good combination of attachments, Automaton might just be your next best weapon in Warzone.
Welgun is also an extremely popular secondary weapon in Warzone. With the right attachments, this gun has the ability to turn the fight instantly. Here are the best loadouts that will make this weapon combination one of the best in the new season.

BAR and Armaguerra 43
The BAR doesn’t have the fast fire rate like other assault rifles in Warzone, but it certainly hits hard to make up for it. It is an interesting assault rifle that provides a decent kill threat at long and mid-range. But with the right attachments, this weapon has a very high chance of standing toe to toe with other popular weapons in the meta.
Armaguerra definitely doesn’t lack firepower when it comes to firing rate. But it does fall off when you’re hitting someone who’s fighting from a distance. It also has a slightly higher recoil than most of the other SMGs. So taking full advantage of its high firing rate isn’t an easy task. But it does hold up pretty well if equipped with the right loadouts.
BAR Best Loadouts
Muzzle: Recoil Booster
Magazine: 8mm Klauser 40 Round Mags
Barrel: C.G.C. 30″ XL
Ammunition: Lengthened

Vargo 52 and Type 100
Vargo 52 is sitting in a relatively good position in the current season of Warzone. It is not the best weapon out there, but it is also not the worst one. With its fast fire rate and low recoil, it can be a very good weapon in the right hands. It also becomes very potent with correct loadouts and attachments.
Type 100 also falls under a similar category as Vergo 52. While it may not be as powerful as the other SMGs of the current meta, it certainly performs very well with the right attachments. You can actually get decent kills with the correct attachments with this weapon. However, I would recommend switching to a more powerful SMG if you stumble upon one.
Vargo 52 Best Loadouts
Muzzle: GRU Suppressor
Magazine: Spetsnaz 60 Rnd
Barrel: 18.6” Task Force
Underbarrel: Spetsnaz Grip

Cooper Carbine and Mac-10
Cooper Carbine was the must-have weapon when it was first launched back in season one. Since then, this weapon has gone through a lot of reworks. But even after countless reworks, Cooper Carbine is one of the strongest weapons in Warzone. However, you need little more than good skills to make the best out of it. With the right attachments, this weapon packs a punch on the battlefield.
Mac-10 is also an excellent choice for close-quarter skirmishes. It has received some nerfs with previous patches, but the weapon is quite good when used properly. It also becomes an overpowered beast with the right attachments.

Muzzle: Mercury Silencer
Magazine: 9mm 60 Round Drums

STG-44 and MP5
STG-44 is one of the most picked weapons in the current meta. The weapon has just been buffed in the latest patch and has an excellent firing rate and damage. With correct loadouts and attachments, this weapon can be a menace in mid-range battles.
While MP5 isn’t the best SMG in this season, it certainly packs a powerful punch in close-range combat. With a decent firing rate and damage outputs, it can be a deadly weapon with the right attachments and in the right hands. There are a few specific loadouts that make this weapon perform to its limit.

XM4 and MP-40
If you can’t get your hands on the powerful weapons of the current meta, XM4 can be a great choice to start out. With the right loadouts and attachments, this weapon can dish out insane amounts of damage to mid and long-range enemies. You can use this weapon to take out some easy kills until you’re able to find a more popular and powerful assault rifle.
MP-40 is a popular SMG in the Warzone season 5. It has a fast firing rate and is very potent in short-range combat. And coupled with the correct loadouts, it has the ability to kill your enemies within seconds.
