Call of Duty: Best Weapons for Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone Season 6

Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone are constantly evolving, with each new season bringing new maps, game modes, additional weapons, and unique aftermarket parts to the game. While the additional content provides a change of pace, the meta for both Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone is also constantly changing, leaving some players to spend time wondering which weapons are best.

Season 6 brings a number of tweaks and buffs to many weapons that are already in the game, as well as the inclusion of additional weapons earned through the Battle Pass at launch. While which weapon players decide to run may depend on personal preference, some options perform better than others. Here are the best weapons for Season 6's Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone.

Static-HV

The Static-HV, a newcomer to the Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone arsenal, has quickly made a name for itself. This compact submachine gun, introduced in Season 5, offers a unique blend of speed, power, and versatility. Its design, reminiscent of the FJX Horus and WSP Swarm, belies its exceptional performance.

Strengths

•    High Damage-per-Shot: Despite a slightly slower fire rate than the FJX Horus, the Static-HV delivers a higher damage-per-shot, resulting in a faster time-to-kill (TTK) on average.
•    Superior Range and Bullet Velocity: The Static-HV's increased damage range and faster bullet velocity make it more effective at longer distances compared to other submachine guns.
•    Large Magazine Capacity: With a base magazine of 50 rounds, the Static-HV offers sustained firepower without the need for frequent reloading.
•    Versatility: Its combination of speed, power, and range makes the Static-HV a versatile weapon suitable for both close-quarters combat and mid-range engagements.

Weaknesses

•    High Recoil: The Static-HV's primary drawback is its significant weapon kick and visual recoil. This can make controlling the weapon challenging, especially at longer ranges.
•    Limited Magazine Customization: The Static-HV's fixed 50-round magazine prevents further upgrades via the Gunsmith, limiting its potential for customization in this area.
 

MCW

The MCW has reemerged as a formidable force in the Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone meta, thanks to a recent buff. This update has significantly improved the MCW's effectiveness at medium ranges, making it a compelling choice for players seeking a balanced and versatile assault rifle.

Strengths

•    Mid-Range Mastery: The MCW's recent buff has enhanced its performance at medium ranges, making it a lethal weapon at the 50- and 60-meter marks.
•    Impressive Fire Rate: The MCW boasts a high fire rate compared to other Assault Rifles, allowing it to quickly eliminate targets.
•    Easy Control: The weapon's recoil is minimal, making it easy to maintain accuracy even during sustained fire.
•    Versatility: With the right attachments, the MCW can be customized to excel in various playstyles, from mid-range engagements to close-quarters combat.

Weaknesses

•    Close-Range Limitations: Despite its versatility, the MCW's handling can be challenging in close-quarters combat, making it less suitable for aggressive playstyles.
•    Damage Output: While the MCW's fire rate helps compensate for its damage, it may not always outperform other Assault Rifles, especially at longer ranges.

STG44

The STG44, a versatile Assault Rifle, made its debut in Season 5 of Call of Duty: Warzone. Known for its exceptional long-range capabilities and high damage output, this weapon quickly became a popular choice among players seeking a powerful and reliable firearm.

Strengths

•    Exceptional Long-Range Performance: The STG44 excels at long-range engagements, thanks to its high bullet velocity and accuracy. This makes it a formidable weapon for sniping and mid-range combat.
•    High Damage Output: Each shot from the STG44 delivers a substantial amount of damage, ensuring quick kills when landing headshots or critical hits.
•    Decent Fire Rate: While not the fastest Assault Rifle in terms of fire rate, the STG44 offers a balanced combination of damage and speed, making it suitable for various playstyles.
•    Clear Iron Sights: The weapon's iron sights are among the clearest in the game, providing excellent visibility and reducing the need for attachments that improve aiming accuracy.

Weaknesses

•    Slower ADS and Sprint-to-Fire Speed: Compared to other Assault Rifles, the STG44 has a slower ADS and sprint-to-fire speed. This can make it less effective in close-quarters combat situations.
•    Attachment Options: While the STG44 offers a decent range of attachment options, some players may find it challenging to balance its strengths and weaknesses effectively.

DTIR 30-06

The DTIR 30-06 is a powerful Battle Rifle that has quickly become a top choice in Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone. Despite the general preference for Assault Rifles, the DTIR 30-06 offers a unique combination of high damage, manageable recoil, and solid range that makes it a force to be reckoned with.

Strengths

•    High damage: The DTIR 30-06 packs a serious punch, capable of quickly eliminating opponents with its full-auto fire.
•    Manageable recoil: Compared to other Battle Rifles, the DTIR 30-06 has a relatively easy-to-control recoil pattern, making it easier to land shots at range.

•    Versatility: The DTIR 30-06 can be used effectively in both close-quarters and long-range engagements, making it a versatile weapon for different playstyles.

Weaknesses

•    Lower handling: Compared to Assault Rifles, the DTIR 30-06 has slightly lower handling stats, which can make it feel less responsive in close-quarters combat.
•    Slower ADS time: The DTIR 30-06 takes slightly longer to aim down sights (ADS) than some other Battle Rifles, which can be a disadvantage in fast-paced encounters.
•    Attachment limitations: Due to its Battle Rifle classification, the DTIR 30-06 has some limitations in terms of the attachments it can equip. For example, it cannot use the Cronen Quick-Adjust Sights or the Stippled Grip Tape.
