The ARs in S tier are currently dominating the Season 4 meta thanks to their ability to shred through opponents with ease. Here's a closer look at our top three picks to use.

SVA 545

The SVA 545 features a steady rate of fire alongside a consistent damage output that doesn't drop off at longer distances. The lack of recoil makes in incredibly easy to use in most situations and with the right attachments equipped, very few weapons can compete with its firepower.

MTZ 556

The MTZ 556 has received several buffs in recent updates, taking it towards the top of the Warzone AR tier list. Its exceptional performance at long ranges makes it an excellent option for dealing huge damage from afar. The lack of recoil ensures high accuracy is maintained when firing the MTZ 556 for a prolonged period.

Holger 556

Taking the final step of the Warzone AR podium is the Holger 556. Heavily resembling the G36C from older Call of Duty titles, the rifle is a great all-rounder, possessing high damage, low recoil, and solid mobility in close-quarters combat.

It may not feature often in the meta, but it's still a great option for those looking for a weapon that can do it all.
