Another season means another fresh batch ofground loot weapons inWarzone. Technically, there are only three new guns featured in ground loot this season, with a number of returning guns. The only issue with ground loot this time around is that far too many of the guns are B tier and above.

Ground loot variants of the Krig, AK, Stoner, and FARA are basically loadout weapons. It appears that Raven is trying a new approach to ground loot. Season 5’s ground loot variants are absolutely stacked, giving players without a loadout a fighting chance.
Magnum (CW): F Tier
The Magnums are inaccurate pistols with a small magazine. Plus, they take three shots to the chest to down an enemy.Players are much better off with the M19 or Renettioff of spawn.
M60: D Tier
Every season, Raven decides to keep these absolutely terrible guns in loot boxes. For the fourth season in a row, players are recommended touse literally any other automatic weaponover the M60. It fires too slowly and has enough horizontal bounce to make hitting shots at range impossible.
Hauer 77: D Tier
Instead of removing the useless shotgun, it will be in the game for yet another season. Do not get fooled by the Tree Branch Legendary version of this gun. It is not an assault rifle, and it will get the player killed.
DMR-14: C Tier
Only godlike players can use the common/uncommon versions of the DMR. Nerfs have increased the vertical kick, and the iron sight is impossible to see through. A slight edge is given to the Epic and Cryptic Tablet DMRs, but they are still firmly in the C tier.
AUG: C Tier
For many of the same reasons as the DMR, the Epic and Pop Star blueprint are not very good inWarzone. Asubpar spread coupled with increased kickmakes the AUG a bad pickup early in a match.
AMP63: C Tier
The AMP is certainly fun to use, but thelimited magazine makes stringing together kills a nightmare. After downing an enemy, people will have to reload, finish off the enemy, and reload again.

Getting caught in the reload animation is way too common when using any of the AMP ground loot guns in Season 5.
M82: B Tier
It is painful to admit that the M82 can be effective if players hit their shots. It has a decent semi-auto fire rate and will down enemies with one shot to the head. That is pretty much the extent of the gun’s usefulness. It has anirritating amount of bullet dropand sounds the worst out of all the snipers. For those reasons, the Airsoft M82 is at the bottom of the B tier. The Noble Knight blueprint is not much better.
Nail Gun: B Tier
Even after a slight nerf, the Nail Gun still has great DPS up close. Still, the extremelyslow bullet velocity and small magazine make the weapon okayat best. Players will be able to down one opponent before they have to reload.
EM-2: B Tier
The EM-2 is an incredible weapon witha lot of upside as a sniper supportinWarzone. However, all five of these weapons have theslowest long range attachments imaginable. Players will still have success with the gun because it has a low TTK, but these variants leave something to be desired. If they just had a Microflex, the Epic and Legendary variants would be in the A tier.
Type 63: B Tier
It may be surprising, but the Type 63 sneaks into the B tier. The gun only has an epic and legendary variant, both of which have better attachments than the DMR. The Type 63 hasbetter damage and better sights too.
