Today we will talk about Assault Rifles in Warzone 2. I will give you what is, in my opinion, the best loadouts for every AR available in the game right now. You can also look at the Youtube video I made to go with the article!
Let’s first quickly go over the guns I will cover: Kastov 545, Kastov 762, Kastov 74u, Lachmann 556, M13B, M16, M4, STB 556, TAQ 56, and the Chimera.
Kastov 545 Loadouts
So let’s start with the Kastov family and the Kastov 545. In my opinion, the best way to use the Kastov 545 is in a versatile way, focusing more on mid-range and, why not, even sniper support. This gun perfectly combines the 74u mobility and the 762 damage range. This versatile loadout is, in my opinion, the best with low recoil, thanks to the Sakin muzzle and the Ripper underbarrel. If you want to use a scope on this loadout, you can replace the high-velocity ammunition with the Cronen Mini Pro optic.

Kastov 74u Loadouts
Next, we have the little brother, the Kastov 74u. Don’t expect anything at long range with it, but if you need a fast, super mobile AR to have almost the same feeling as an SMG, then the 74u will be perfect. What’s important on this loadout is the FSS OLE-V laser, which is a must for almost every gun if you want to improve the ADS time. The only downside of this laser is that it will be visible to your enemies, but for me, this is not an issue, especially in close-range encounters.

Kastov 762 Loadouts
The last of the Kastov family is also my favorite. The 762 is, in my opinion, the best Assault Rifle right now and one of the only relevant competitors of the RPK in season 1. It’s faster and lighter than the RPK, but it’s also the best range time to kill out of all the AR categories and guns we are seeing now. Not the easiest to control, that’s for sure, but if you find the recoil manageable, then you have no reason to use any other Assault Rifle for long range.

Lachmann 556 Loadouts
Now let’s talk about the easiest Assault Rifle in Warzone. If you struggle with recoil or miss the old Grau 5.56, then definitely try the Lachmann 556. Of all the guns I see getting buffed with season 2, this is probably the one I expect. And if the Lachmann makes it to the absolute meta category, we will have a very easy-to-use and casual-friendly meta.

M13B Loadouts
Another easy low recoil gun is the M13B. Very similar in terms of behavior to the old M13 of Warzone 1, you will be able to use this gun no matter your skill level. But I think the M13B lacks damages and can be quite frustrating. Nevertheless, this is the best loadout for the M13B in Warzone 2.

cHIMERA Loadouts
The Chimera is a fantastic gun for close to mid-range. Like the Kastov 74u, do not expect much for long-range, but the Chimera feels amazing with this sniper support loadout. You’ll notice the SA Leveler muzzle: this attachment focuses on Horizontal recoil, which is important if you feel like your gun is bouncing left and right.

M4 Loadouts
Then let’s jump to the M4, which is probably the favorite weapon of the community since the launch of Modern Warfare 2. It’s not that good in Warzone, but it could be one of the guns they will improve for season 2. Just a small damage range buff and I’m sure the community will also start using the M4 in Battle Royale mode.

M16 Loadouts
Now, this could arguably be the worst Assault Rifle in the game right now. The bursts of the M16 are a nightmare for all camo grinders in Modern Warfare 2, and except if you are doing a challenge, you have no reason to use the M16 right now. But anyway, here is the best loadout for it!
Long Range
STB 556 Loadouts
Let’s move to STB 556 now. I love this gun in multiplayer, it’s a great sniper support in Warzone 2, but it lacks the power to be competitive with other Assault Rifles. Here is what I believe to be the best versatile loadout for this gun. Now, you’ll notice this gun has a specificity with the barrel and integrated suppressor. It’s enough for a mid-range build, but if you want to create a long-range loadout, you should use the Harbinger muzzle and the FTAC FB20 barrel.

taq-56 Loadouts
And our final Assault Rifle, the TAQ 56. Did we keep the best for the end? Maybe. In my opinion, the crown of the best assault rifle is a battle between the TAQ 56 and the Kastov-762. The TAQ’s main advantage is that this gun has a very low recoil and is easier than the 762.
