Players are always on the hunt for an advantage which is why knowing about the current Warzone meta comes into play.
Season 3 of Call of Duty is in full swing and following a recent batch of buffs and nerfs, it's essential players are using the strongest weaponry in their quest to become the last one standing.
Before we take a closer look at the current Warzone Season 3 meta, check out our other guides showcasing the best FJX Horus loadout and when the next double XP event is set to take place.
What is the Warzone Season 3 meta?
Leading the charge at the top of the Season 3 meta is the Renetti pistol. Despite it being a secondary weapon, a conversion kit transforms the burst-fire handgun into a fully-automatic beast capable of dominating mid-range and close-quarters combat. It is in line for a nerf and we expect it to drop in popularity soon.
Alongside the Renetti, the Bruen MK9, SOA Subverter, and MORS are excellent options for mid-range and long-distance duels thanks to their ease of use and impressive damage output.

Alongside choosing a gun that's part of the Warzone meta, selecting a combination of perks is just as important. You now can customise your perk package and after plenty of testing, this combination of four suits any loadout perfectly:
