The five best weapons in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is a very similar game to an arcade shooter. Time to kill is low, meaning fewer bullets are required to take down an enemy, something that has become less prevalent as popularity among Battle Royale games increases, where shields play an important part of the experience .

The traditional multiplayer style of the game means that weapons have a huge impact on how fast and effective you can be to kill an enemy. The developers have done a pretty decent job of making each weapon feel like they have a purpose.

However, like any traditional-style shooter, this doesn't stop certain guns from standing out among others, either because they're best at their purpose, or they just destroy opponents.

Here are the five best guns currently in play:

M4A1

Speaking of more explosive assault rifles, the basis of the Modern Warfare series is the Kalashnikov, or more popularly known as the AK47. And in this year's game, it continues to play a major role in multiplayer by being arguably the most powerful gun in the game for those with the knack of controlling it.

Immense stopping power means that in direct combat between you and an enemy with an alternate rifle, you can hedge your bets on yourself. Accuracy is also excellent, but it's also fast enough to reload.

It's still a loose cannon when it comes to recoil, so if you tend to spray more often, the M4A1 is probably worth considering, but if you can master that kickback, it's hard to find a better gun than the AK47.

725

When it comes to close range duels, there is no competition in Modern Warfare. If you have a 725 and face the enemy at the same time at close range, expect to take them down. This awesome shotgun isn't for everyone, as is always the case to get in people's faces, but if that's your jam, you MUST carry a 725.

This double barrel blaster can fire two bullets very quickly and has a tight cluster spread. You might think it puts him at a disadvantage for a shotgun, but the hitboxes in the game are large enough, which means you don't have to be as accurate to hit, and if you can get a large enough portion of the enemy torso, you Ne I'll only have one to take them down.

It's effective at short and medium range too, so as your best shot approaches, don't be afraid to jump farther away if they're going to take the whole buck. Be warned though, he only has two bullets in the chamber, so aim accurately, reload safely and you will realize this thing is devastating.

P90

When you're playing a game where the key is how fast you can take down your enemy, the rate of fire becomes the most critical stat line on a weapon. If you manage to fire more bullets than your opponent in the same amount of time, they are much more likely to go down before you.

For this reason, being the weapons with one of the highest rate of fire in the game, the P90 is the best choice. The MP7 among SMGs has a slightly higher rate of fire, but the P50's huge 90-shot clip is a big plus in prolonged firefights, so you just need to bang.

It's not the best on maps with large, open spaces, but on small to medium sized maps, it can be very deadly.

HDR

HDR is the best sniper rifle in the game. It is incredibly powerful, typically a killing blow as far as where the body hits the opponent, with alarming accuracy and quick reload.

The Dragunov has a big problem with recoil if you're looking to make follow-up shots, while it doesn't consistently kill a hit on the body and while the AX-50 is technically more powerful than HDR, it's unnecessarily bulky and bulky. HDR is the best of all worlds when it comes to long range options and is truly unique in Ground War maps, particularly in the Tavorsk district where you have a high sense of verticality.

We hope that with these weapons you can conquer the world and win. But remember that all players are different and it's best to try all guns to find your weaknesses with each one.
