Best Meta Loadouts For COD Warzone Season 4

Season 4 of the Black Ops 6 integration into Warzone is here, bringing with it the first major POI change to Verdansk—The Overlook skyscraper located within the Downtown area, along with a wave of content updates, including the debut of the Clash game mode and more. While players dropping in may be eager to complete the secret Easter egg tied to The Overlook, the bigger spotlight this season is on the shifting weapon meta.

As with every seasonal update, Season 4 introduces a full lineup of meta adjustments, including balance changes to existing weapons and the return of fan favorites like the FFAR 1 and the LC10. Season 4 may have brought the biggest meta shake-up to date, which may call for players to alter their current loadouts. With that in mind, here are the best meta loadouts to run in Warzone Season 4.

Best FFAR 1 & HDR Loadout

First up is an Overkill pairing featuring the newly arrived FFAR 1 Assault Rifle alongside the HDR Sniper Rifle—two weapons quickly proving themselves as top contenders in the current Warzone meta. The FFAR 1 has already established itself as one of the most dominant Assault Rifles in the game, excelling in close-to-mid-range combat within the first 30 meters. However, its noticeable vertical recoil can make it less effective at longer ranges.

That’s where the heavy-hitting HDR Sniper Rifle comes in. The FFAR 1 handles short to mid-range engagements with ease, while the HDR offers reliable one-shot headshot or two-shot bodyshot potential from a distance. Here’s the best loadout build for both the FFAR 1 and HDR in Warzone Season 4:

Best Krig C & LC10 Loadout

Next up is a meta pairing featuring two reliable options currently dominating in Warzone: the Krig C and the LC10. While the Krig C doesn’t have the fastest time-to-kill among Assault Rifles, it makes up for it with consistent damage. There is some noticeable shake in the optics that can throw players off across range, but with a bit of practice, it's a solid option.

The LC10, on the other hand, has already cemented itself as one of the top-performing SMGs, outperforming the previously dominant Kompakt 92 within the first 10 meters when it comes to combined time-to-kill. In this loadout, the Krig C will be the go-to weapon for long-range firefights, while the LC10 dominates in close-quarters combat. Here is the best build for both weapons:

Best Grau 5.56 & Ladra Loadout

Following the trend of top-notch Assault Rifle and SMG pairings is the Grau 5.56 and the Ladra Submachine Gun. While technically only a conversion kit for the SWAT 5.56 Marksman Rifle, the Grau 5.56 is still a meta option for Season 4, boasting great base bullet velocity and a respectable damage range that makes it a competitive option against even some of the best Assault Rifles in the game.

The Ladra, on the other hand, is an excellent Submachine Gun, ranking as the third fastest-killing option in the Black Ops 6 SMG category within the first 10 minutes, whilst being slightly more manageable than the Kompakt 92. Here is the best setup for both weapons for Season 4 of Warzone:

Best GPR 91 & LW3A1 Frostline Loadout

Back to a Sniper Rifle and Sniper support pairing now with an Overkill setup featuring the GPR 91 Assault Rifle and the LW3A1 Frostline. While the GPR 91 has steadily fallen off in the long-range meta, it still holds its own within the first 30 meters, remaining a strong contender among full-auto rifles, and making it a solid choice for a Sniper support role.

As for the Sniper option, while the HDR is still the top dog, those looking to switch things up can’t go wrong with the LW3A1 Frostline. It may not offer an infinite one-shot headshot range, but its quicker handling, faster fire rate, and solid base bullet velocity make it an excellent all-around sniper for both standard Battle Royale and Resurgence. Here’s the best setup for each weapon:

Best Kilo 141 & C9 Loadout

Back to strong Assault Rifle and SMG combos now with the Kilo 141 and the C9. The Kilo 141 received a noticeable nerf to its recoil, which has pushed it slightly down the meta rankings. However, it also saw a buff to its bullet velocity, and with the right setup, it remains a top-tier option in Season 4.

As for the SMG slot, the C9 stands out as a reliable all-around pick. While it doesn’t quite match the LC10 or Ladra in terms of raw time-to-kill, it offers slightly better damage range and is considerably easier to control, making it a dependable choice in close-quarters fights. Here’s the best setup for both the Kilo 141 and C9 for Warzone Season 4:

Best Cypher 091 & Kar98K Loadout

Last but not least is a meta Overkill pairing of the Cypher 091 and the Kar98k. The Cypher 091 has been a top-performing weapon in the meta for quite some time now, and it continues to hold strong in Season 4, especially when used as a Sniper support option. With excellent handling and solid damage output, it's a dependable choice players can confidently rely on.

As for the secondary, the Kar98k remains an outstanding Sniper alternative. While it doesn't offer the same range as some other long-range options, it’s a fast and reliable bolt-action rifle, making it perfect for Resurgence playlists and aggressive sniping. Here is the best setup for both the Cypher 091 and the Kar98k in Warzone Season 4:
