Best Battle Rifle in Warzone 2

The best Battle Rifle in Warzone 2 is the FTAC Recon.With best in class damage and the fastest fire rate, the FTAC Recon has the best TTK among the Battle Rifles. That makes it an easy pick for the top spot before you even consider its fast reload speed and snappy, lightweight feel. If you’re after a Battle Rifle, the FTAC Recon is one of thebest guns in Warzone 2right now.

Below, you can see our ranked list of the best Battle Rifle in Warzone 2:

4. S0-14

3. TAQ-V

The TAQ-V just manages to beat the S0-14 and wrestle out of last place, with better recoil control and accuracy making it easier to wield. It also has a slightly faster reload speed, and best in class mobility. However, the TAQ-V suffers in the damage department, with almost no increase compared to the SO-14. That leaves it feeling rather weak compared to the more powerful Lachmann 762 and FTAC Recon, both of which will likely serve you better while racking up kills in Al Mazrah.

2. Lachmann 762

The Lachmann 762 has a very small bump in damage and fire rate compared to the previous guns, giving it a marginally faster TTK of 142 ms (compared to 143ms for the TAQ-V and S0-14). That difference is negligible, but the fact is that the Lachmann 762 is ever so slightly better. It does have slightly more recoil to contest with, but that’s easy enough to manage with the right attachments, leaving you with a formidable Battle Rifle that can easily drop your enemies in a couple of hits.
