5 most popular guns in Call of Duty: Warzone Season 5 Reloaded

As with any new update in Call of Duty: Warzone, Season 5 Reloaded has shaken up the meta once again.

Over 20 weapons were either buffed or nerfed and two additional guns were introduced to the game. All of this has culminated in a major shake-up on both the pick rate and kill/death ratio charts in Warzone. However, this hasn’t affected the top of the Warzone meta too much, as the most popular guns from pre-Season 5 Reloaded remain atop the list.

Still, some players who might be out of the know will likely want to know what they keep getting killed by in Warzone matches. Below, we’ll list the current top five most popular guns in Warzone Season 5 Reloaded along with their best loadouts. All of this information comes directly from WZRanked.com, which players can check out for themselves.
