Call of duty warzone Season 3 is underway. As usual, the new season signaled the addition of fresh weapons and tweaking of current loadout staples. This means that everyone's favorite firearms may no longer be the King of Verdansk.
Each season, a series of buffs and nerfs shake up the meta, pushing the masses towards specific weapons and loadout setups. While Season 2 saw heavy FFAR saturation, this is no longer the case after the weapon's overdue nerf. The change can leave players scratching their heads, wondering what to wield next. That's why we are here.
Luckily for those looking to maintain their competitive edge, we've compiled the three best Assault Rifle loadouts to dominate Season 3. Read on to see which old favorite has returned to the spotlight, reclaiming their long-range crown and what other ARs are. make quick work of hostile operators this time around.
Best Season 3 Assault Rifle Loadouts in Warzone
CR-56 AMAX
- Muzzle: Monolithic Suppressor
- Barrel: XRK Zodiac S440
- Optical: VLK 3.0x Optics
- Underbarrel: Foregrip Commando
- Ammunition: 45 round magazines
Modern Warfare Season 4's Battle Pass weapon immediately earned its place in Warzone loadouts when it launched. Over time, it was pushed down the list by the devastating weapons of Black Ops Cold War once incorporated into the battle royale mode. After the FFAR Season 3 nerf, the CR-56 AMAX is ready to reclaim its number one spot for long-range engagements. Given the noticeable distance the AMAX expands into, this is the only weapon on this list with a recommended sight.
However, AMAX's return to the throne may be limited. Raven has already acknowledged her dominance and teased adjustments going forward. “No king reigns forever,” said the Warzone developer. Enjoy the full potential of the CR-56 AMAX while you still can.
AK-47 (Black Ops Cold War)
- Muzzle: GRU suppressor
- Barrel: 18,2″ reinforced VDV
- Store: KGB Skeletal Stock
- Underbarrel: Spetsnaz grip
- Ammunition: Bakelite 60 Rnd
The AK-47 loadout is specific to the Black Ops Cold War variant. And what a surprise hit this weapon was in Season 3 for mid-range combat. It can also extend to those more distant targets. Currently, the Cold War AK-47 is positioned as the growing competitor to the AMAX. In the right hands, this AK-47 should take on those wielding the AMAX meta. If you want a long range AMAX alternative, simply replace the attachment with your optic of choice.
Right now, the Black Ops Cold War Ak-47 is the only one of the three weapons featured here that isn't on Raven's radar for an upcoming nerf. As long as the AMAX remains popular and absorbs YouTube's best moments, this fine setup should wipe out teams throughout Season 3.
FARA 83
- Muzzle: GRU suppressor
- Barrel: 19,5 inch Liberator
- Store: KGB Skeletal Stock
- Ammunition: Spetsnaz 50 Rnd
- Rear handle: snake wrap
The FARA 83 received an unexpected buff with the launch of Season 3, proving to be the best close assault rifle. If you like getting close to enemy teams, the FARA 83 is a no-brainer. SMG-like AR can quickly tear through opponents as the distance between combatants decreases. You don't need a sight here since you'll be looking into the whites of the enemy's eyes before pulling the trigger.
Much like the CR-56 AMAX, Raven is well aware of the performance of the FARA 83 and it has been set for a pending gun pass in the near future. Wield this close-range killer before it sinks back into the shadows of insignificance.
Call of Duty Warzone Season 3 is available now on PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X | S.
