Although Vanguard weapons continue to dominate Warzone Season 5, a forgotten Cold War LMG that almost nobody uses currently has the highest win rate in the game.
Vanguard weapons have dominated Warzone since they were introduced, with their 10 attachments and long-range scopes outperforming Modern Warfare and Cold War guns in nearly every way.
Despite Vanguards' MW and Cold War guns, there are always a few that stick out, and while guns such as the Armaguerra and Cooper are among the most popular, it's actually a forgotten Cold War LMG that's consistently bringing players wins.
According to WZ Ranked, the weapon with Warzone's highest win rate is Black Ops Cold Wars MG 82 LMG. To compare, the UGM-8 has a win rate of 5.23, and Vanguards PPSh-41 has 4.44.
Back in the Cold War days, players demanded nerfs almost immediately after it arrived. However, the MG 82 remained a popular pick due to its low recoil and quick TTK, but its surprising high win rate proves its worth again in Season 5.
The MG 82s win rate is extraordinary because it is only 0.04, making it one of the fewest used weapons in the entire game. Still, it has a decent K/D and huge win rate, so it might be worth checking out in Season 5 ahead of Warzone 2.
Best win rate MG 82 Warzone loadout
- Muzzle: Agency Suppressor
- Barrel: 16.4 Task Force
- Optic: Axial Arms 3x
- Underbarrel: Field Agent Grip
- Rear Grip: Serpent Wrap
This is the MG 82 loadout that has both the highest K/D ratio and the highest win rate, sacrificing additional ammunition for mobility.
The Agency Suppressor and the 16.4 Task Force barrel enhance weapons range and accuracy, while the Field Agent Grip gives an additional boost to recoil control. The Axial Arms 3x is the ideal choice for any long-range Cold War weapon, and the Serpent Wrap shortens the ADS time.
If youre making a mistake with the MG 82 again in Warzone Pacific Season 5, this is the best loadout to use.
Later this year, Modern Warfare 2 will release a whole new arsenal of weapons, so take a look around at Call of Duty Next's announcement.
