"Use the meta or get killed"

I know, this game can be a bit extremist with the quality of its guns. They can either be excellent or completely useless… there’s no in-between. If you’re still grinding the Atomic camo, you have to read this, because we’ll go over every detail about the 10 best weapons in CoD Vanguard. You can thank me later for making your lives easier.

10. BAR (AR)

This assault rifle almost looks like an LMG. It's a little heavy, but believe me, if you hit the target, your opponent won't want to get in your way again. The BAR has a low rate of fire, but lots of damage and controllable recoil. It is incredibly easy and comfortable to use.

Weapon Details:

Accurate
Slow fire rate
High caliber
Full-auto
Accurate

What’s great about this gun:

High caliber allows you to wall bang people
Its high damage allows you to kill opponents super fast
Great for long to medium range engagements

9. Automaton (AR)

The Automaton... this beauty not only shoots incredibly fast but also has very good control. Overall, it is an excellent assault rifle. If you like to rush enemy respawns and play aggressively, the Automaton is literally built for you.

Weapon Details:

Super Accurate
Low recoil
Perfect for short and long-range engagements

What’s great about this gun:

Fast fire rate
Accuracy and recoil are pretty decent
You can take on multiple enemies, thanks to its fast fire rate

8. MP-40 (SMG)

Indisputably, the meta when the game came out and it's still up there. It's no coincidence that even in Warzone it's a beast, and that's because the MP-40 allows you to move fast, aim fast and kill in a very short time. If the Welgun didn't exist, it would be the best submachine gun of season 1.

Weapon Details:

Decent fire rate
Suitable for short to medium range engagements
Smooth mobility
Great damage

What’s great about this gun:

Great movement speed
Effective Damage Range
Good fire rate
Almost no recoil

7. NZ-41 (AR)

We could say that it is BAR's little brother. Low rate of fire, high damage, very good TTK, and on-point accuracy. The only thing that sets it apart from the BAR is that it feels more compact and therefore faster and smoother.

Weapon Details:

Difficult recoil control with sustained fire
Full-auto
Decent fire rate

What’s great about this gun:

Headshot damage is insane
Fast TTK
Great for medium to short-range engagements

6. STG-44 (AR)

Practically no recoil, a decent rate of fire, and an OMG-type of damage. The STG is still one of the best weapons, even if it's been nerfed. It is incredibly smooth to control and very friendly to new players. Simply convenient for every player.

Weapon Details:

Adaptable assault rifle
Customizable for encounters at close or far distances
Kind of slow fire rate
Amazing damage
Low recoil

What’s great about this gun:

Super low recoil
Effective Damage Range
Nasty damage

5. DP-27 (LMG)

Yes, I know, this LMG takes thousands of years to reload. I realize it may look like you're carrying a truck in your hands, but this truck shreds. With easy to control recoil, decent damage, and excellent cadence the DP-27 is one of my favorite guns in the game. Getting the gold camo for it was much easier than I expected, and the best part is that it's actually fun to use.

Weapon Details:

Pretty accurate
Great damage
Suitable for long to medium range engagements
Full-auto/Burst

What’s great about this gun:

Fire rate
Damage
Works perfectly at long-range engagements
You’ll destroy the opponent team

4. BREN (LMG)

The perfect weapon does not exist... never mind. It's absurd how good this LMG is. Everything good you think a gun can have, the BREN has. It's still meta in Warzone too and yes, even if you move slow with it, it's one of the best options in the whole game... hands down.

Weapon Details:

Super low recoil
Amazing damage
Accurate
Great at short, medium, and long-range engagements

What’s great about this gun:

Feels like a laser beam
Nasty damage
Amazing fire rate
Superfast TTK

3. Type-100 (SMG)

One of my personal favorites, to be honest. After several gun balances, the Type 100 has become a favorite of many, including me. It has a super easy to control recoil, mobility that makes you feel like you're flying, and a rate of fire that... wow! Do you want to be a ninja in the game? This is the gun for you.

Weapon Details:

Highly accurate
Fast fire rate
Great mobility
Effective damage range

What’s great about this gun:

Hip fire accuracy’s pretty, pretty good
Ninja-type of mobility
Fast reload time

2. Cooper Carbine (AR)

The best weapon in the game? Almost... it almost is. The Cooper Carbine came to raze the battlefield. It is without a doubt a flawless weapon. You can build it for either long-range encounters or to go blow heads off at the enemy respawn. Dude... please tell me you've tried it.

Weapon Details:

Low recoil
Fast fire rate
Great damage
Adaptable for short, medium, and long-range engagements

What’s great about this gun:

Fire rate
Headshot damage is absurd
Recoil is almost non-existent
Damage is disgusting!

1. Welgun (SMG)

This SMG was recently added to the game right in the middle of the first season. It melts. It’s that simple. With excellent mobility, good fire rate, and supernatural damage, the Welgun came just to be placed in the meta of Vanguard AND Warzone. I don’t know what you’re waiting for if you haven't unlocked it yet.

Weapon Details:

Heavy, but still fast
Perfect for short to medium range engagements
Lethal full-auto

What’s great about this gun:

Insane fire rate
Good damage
Great mobility
Amazing option for rushing

I know we didn't talk about shotguns, but... you know, we don't like toxic games. I hope this helps you have a good time or get to know the guns you need to level up right now. Peace out!
