After much anticipation, Warzone Ranked Play has officially launched in Urzikstan, and players will need the strongest loadouts to rise through the ranks. Previously available on the Resurgence map, Warzone Ranked Play is now taking the action to the larger map, shaking up the current game meta.
In an interesting twist, the developers of Call of Duty have introduced several modifications that have transformed the competitive landscape. Notably, weapons from MW2 and MW3 are now restricted, compelling players to rely on the armory from Black Ops 6 to craft their optimal Warzone Ranked Play loadouts.
Top Long-Range Weapons for Warzone Ranked Play
XM4
- Muzzle: Compensator
- Barrel: Reinforced Barrel
- Underbarrel: Vertical Foregrip
- Magazine: Extended Mag II
- Rear Grip: Ergonomic Grip
- Optic: Willis 3x or Jason Armory 2x
- Stock: Buffer Weight Stock
- Fire Mod: Recoil Springs
The XM4 is considered one of the most balanced weapons available in Warzone Ranked Play. Its impressive overall stats make it a flexible option for players in Urzikstan. With a manageable recoil pattern, it’s one of the simplest weapons to handle, and the suggested attachments enhance accuracy and recoil control.
GPR 91
- Muzzle: Compensator
- Barrel: Gain-Twist Barrel
- Underbarrel: Vertical Foregrip
- Magazine: Extended Mag II
- Rear Grip: Ergonomic Grip
- Optic: Willis 3x or Jason Armory 2x
- Stock: Infiltrator Stock
- Fire Mod: Recoil Springs
The GPR 91 has quickly garnered recognition as a premier Assault Rifle in Warzone Ranked Play, especially among top-tier players and streamers. A recent buff to its bullet velocity in Season 1 Reloaded has considerably improved its time-to-kill (TTK) capability.
While the XM4 might still hold the crown, the GPR 91 is making a strong case. Testing both weapons can help you determine which one suits your style better. Attachments like the Vertical Foregrip and Recoil Springs ensure that you can maintain accuracy and control over recoil. For an Overkill loadout, consider excluding the Infiltrator Stock, Recoil Springs, and Ergonomic Grip.
XMG
- Muzzle: Compensator
- Barrel: Gain-Twist Barrel
- Underbarrel: Vertical Foregrip
- Magazine: Extended Mag I
- Rear Grip: Quickdraw Grip
- Optic: Willis 3x or Jason Armory 2x
- Stock: Buffer Weight Stock
- Fire Mod: 7.62 Nato Overpressured
Departing from the typical Assault Rifle role, the XMG is establishing itself as a top contender for long-range engagements in Warzone Ranked Play. While it may lack the mobility of Assault Rifles, it compensates with superior firepower.
The XMG has proven effective for players on Warzone‘s Area 99 map, but it has faced tough competition from some Assault Rifles. Given the expansive nature of Urzikstan’s terrain, you might find the XMG climbing to a new level of relevance.
This loadout emphasizes long-range capabilities with a combination of the Vertical Foregrip and Compensator for stability, while the 7.62 Nato Overpressured attachment maximizes bullet velocity. For an Overkill configuration, it’s advisable to drop the Extended Mag I, Quickdraw Grip, and Compensator.
Best Close-Range Weapons for Warzone Ranked Play
Jackal PDW
- Muzzle: Compensator
- Barrel: Reinforced Barrel
- Underbarrel: Ranger Foregrip
- Magazine: Extended Mag II
- Rear Grip: Ergonomic Grip
The Jackal PDW has dominated as the leading SMG in Black Ops 6 since its release, and it excels in the Ranked Play setting as well. Though it might be somewhat challenging to utilize, mastering it will lead to rapid eliminations that other SMGs struggle to match.
While Urzikstan generally favors long-range confrontations, close-quarters areas are still abundant. The Gain-Twist Barrel increases bullet velocity, while the Ranger Foregrip and Ergonomic Grip improve control and response time.
PP-919
- Muzzle: Compensator
- Barrel: Reinforced Barrel
- Rear Grip: Ergonomic Grip
- Stock: No Stock
- Fire Mod: 9x18MM Makarov Overpressured
The PP-919’s standout feature in Warzone Ranked Play is its impressive magazine capacity, allowing players to forgo the need for a Magazine attachment.
This SMG caters perfectly to agile strategists who rely on fast movements to overwhelm enemies. The No Stock option allows for rapid movement across the battlefield, while the Reinforced Barrel and Compensator give you extended range and control to handle multiple foes at once.
Warzone’s Best Ranked Play Sniper
LR 7.62
- Barrel: Long Barrel
- Underbarrel: Lightweight Handguard
- Rear Grip: Quickdraw Grip
- Laser: Target Laser
- Fire Mod: 7.62 Nato Overpressured
The LR 7.62 Sniper Rifle equips players to excel in long-range combat throughout Urzikstan. As the top choice among snipers for Black Ops 6, it’s ideal for taking down campers who often occupy elevated positions. A well-aimed headshot can lead to easy kills, allowing for an immediate call for a Precision Airstrike.
Keep your attachment choices straightforward; this setup is optimized to maximize the rifle’s damage and handling capabilities.
Top Ranked Play Perks & Equipment
Choosing The Right Setup Matters
- Tactical: Stim Shot
- Lethal: Frag
- Perk 1: Survivor
- Perk 2: Sprinter
- Perk 3: Tempered
- Wildcard: Overkill or Gunfighter
When it comes to perks and equipment, players have a broader selection than with weapon choices, allowing for a mix that best suits individual playstyles.
The configuration above presents a solid foundation, but feel free to experiment and adjust according to your performance in Ranked Play matches. The combination of Frag grenades and Stim Shots is a reliable duo to enhance survival.
For perks, Tempered allows you to reach full health with just two plates, while Survivor enables faster health regeneration and Sprinter facilitates unlimited tactical sprinting. This combination significantly boosts your chances of staying alive during intense matches.
Lastly, the decision between Overkill and Gunfighter depends on the situation. Initially, grabbing your Overkill loadout is recommended, but if a Gunfighter loadout becomes available, switching to it can enhance your versatility.
Incorporating the best Warzone Ranked Play loadouts is an effective strategy for thriving in this highly competitive battle royale environment. Season 1 will see intense competition as players strive to ascend from Bronze to the top 250 on the leaderboard.
