In Warzone Season 1 Reloaded’s Ranked Play, utilizing optimal meta loadouts is crucial for enhancing your competitive edge and improving your Skill Ratings.
This season introduces several new elements to Ranked Play. To participate in Battle Royale Ranked Play, players must secure a position in the Top 15 in standard Battle Royale or the Top 6 in Resurgence over a total of 30 matches. Notably, placements from Season 1 contribute to this requirement.
Additional updates include the removal of Party Skill Restrictions, a cap on the Elimination Skill Rating at 150, and the introduction of a skill delta system that adjusts Skill Rating rewards based on the skill gap between players. This skill delta reward varies depending on whether the defeated opponent is three ranks above or below your current rank.
In terms of the weapon pool, development has banned all weapons from MW2 and MW3, leaving only Black Ops 6 firearms available for use. Considering this, here are some of the premier loadouts tailored for the current ranked meta.
Top Long-Range Weapon Loadouts for Warzone Ranked Play
Choosing the Gunfight Wildcard enables players to attach eight modifications instead of the usual five. While some gamers prefer Overkill for accessing two primary weapons, we recommend the Gunfighter Wildcard given the ease of obtaining second primary weapons through Buy Stations or Loadout Drops.
XM4 Loadout (Without Gunfighter)
- Optic: Jason Armory 2x
- Barrel: Reinforced Barrel
- Magazine: Extended Mag II
- Stock: Buffer Weight Stock
- Fire Mods: Recoil Springs
According to WZ Ranked, the XM4 is the leading choice in Warzone, boasting a pick rate of 19.4%. The next most favored weapon shares just 6.60% usage. This increase in popularity is largely due to the new Buffer Weight Stock, which significantly enhances recoil management, despite affecting aim walking and aiming down sight speeds.
The XM4 is also known for its impressive time-to-kill speed among assault rifles, clocking in at 688 milliseconds, improved in Season 1 Reloaded due to a boost in bullet velocity, now at 800 meters per second.
Our loadout emphasizes further recoil control with the Recoil Springs, added ammunition capacity with Extended Mag II, enhanced damage range and bullet velocity with Reinforced Barrel, and achieving advantage in medium and long-range engagements with the Jason Armory 2x optic.

For players opting for the Gunfighter Wildcard, we suggest filling the additional attachment slots with an Ergonomic Grip to enhance slide, dive to fire, and aim down-sight speeds. The Vertical Foregrip and Compensator work effectively to stabilize recoil. We replaced the Recoil Springs with 5.56 NATO Overpressured rounds to achieve an uptick in bullet velocity.

The GPR 91 received a buff this season, with its bullet velocity enhanced from 730 to 780 ms. This rifle stands out with a time-to-kill speed of 700 ms, solidifying its ranking among the top assault rifles for Ranked Play due to its reliable recoil pattern and decent handling.

The XMG’s generous 100-round magazine ensures players can handle multiple engagements without reloading, granting an advantage in Trios play during Ranked Matches.

This weapon can eliminate foes with one headshot at a distance of 76.2 meters. By incorporating a Long Barrel, this range is extended to 95.3 meters. Additionally, using 7.62 NATO Overpressured rounds improves bullet velocity by approximately 300 meters per second, further enhancing the weapon’s long-range capabilities.
Top Short-Range Weapon Loadouts
Jackal PDW Loadout
- Muzzle: Compensator
- Barrel: Reinforced Barrel
- Underbarrel: Ranger Foregrip

The Jackal PDW stands at the forefront of SMGs, offering a remarkable 616-millisecond time-to-kill up to 11.4 meters. Its nearest competitor, the C9, lags behind at 656 milliseconds. Though its slower fire rate provides an advantage with fewer shots required to kill, this can also complicate consistent hits. Mastery of this weapon will yield deadly efficiency.
PP-919 Loadout
Best Secondary Weapon Loadouts

- Fire Mods: 9×18 Marakarov Overpressured
With a rapid 600 ms time-to-kill, the PP-919 ranks as the second fastest-killing SMG in Warzone. Its impressive 64-round magazine capacity eliminates the need for an Extended Mag, giving it a competitive edge over the Jackal PDW. Its user-friendliness and decent mobility make it a formidable choice for close-quarter engagements.
Top Secondary Weapon
Sirin 9mm Loadout
