Here we have the best Warzone 2 Season 3 Assault Rifle loadouts for you to use while shooting at range in Al-Mazrah, or fighting in close-quarter combat on Ashika Island. But remember, you need to max out these weapons to unlock all the attachments and tune them to your play style. You will find four ARs here in this guide; two for close-range combats and two for long-range fights.
The Best Warzone 2 Season 3 Assault Rifle Loadouts For Close Combat
Assault Rifle class is a very effective way to have both the punch and the accuracy. In fact, these weapons are flexible enough to be turned into an SMG or be used as a sharp-shooting gun for long ranges. Here are the best AR loadouts for close combat with quick ADS time and fast movement speed in Warzone 2.
Chimera
- Rear Grip: Bruen Flush Grip
- Magazine: 45-Round Mag
- Laser: VLK LZR 7mw
- Ammunition: 00 BLK Overpressured +p
- Underbarrel: Commando Foregrip
Chimera is from the M13 platform family, which delivers a high fire rate; suitable for close-range fights. This advantage comes with the mobility of this AR, which can be turned into a meta SMG with some attachments. You can use the Bruen Flush Grip to increase the ADS time, the 45-Round Mag gives you enough ammo to kill more than one enemy without reloading, and the VLK LZR 7mw laser offers accuracy to your operator to have steady hands.
However, you would need an attachment to increase Chimera’s accuracy. We offer the Commando Foregrip; not that the other under barrels are worse, but this attachment worked the best in our firing range tests. Tune this attachment to recoil control, and you’ll be able to control Chimera’s high fire rate. Last but not least, you can have an Optic extension to have a precision sight or equip this weapon with the Overpressured +P ammo type.
The Overpressured ammunition makes your targets flinch, which gives you an advantage in head-to-head fights. But one more thing makes this one of the best Warzone 2 Season 3 Assault Rifle loadouts: Chimera has a sixth attachment! This weapon comes with an integrated silencer, going dark!
TAQ-56
- Stock: TV Cardinal Stock
- Magazine: 40-Round Mag
- Underbarrel: Demo Cleanshot 40
- Muzzle: Echoline GS-X
- Laser: FSS Ole-V Laser
Maybe TAQ-56 is the most balanced weapon in Warzone 2 and MW2 AR categories. This weapon resembles the Scar-L from the old Modern Warfare 3 and comes with the benefit of high accuracy. However, the TAQ-56 in Warzone 2 has that sense of mobility as well.
In this custom loadout, the one vital attachment to increase the ADS time and movement speed is the TV, Cardinal Stock. Then you’d need a 40 Round Mag for your close fights. Now, add the Demo Cleanshot 40 and Echoline GS-X Muzzle to retain the accuracy. And last but not least, we have the FSS Ole-V Laser for your ultimate AR SMG. This laser gives you ADS time and aiming steadiness to have one of the best Warzone 2 Season 3 Assault Rifle loadouts.
Best Long Range Assault Rifle Season 3 Loadouts
Assault Rifle class is usually a category in Call of Duty games to choose accurate weapons for shooting mid to long-range shots. Warzone 2 offers some ARs that can be fine-tuned for ranged shots. The following weapons are among the best Warzone 2 Season 3 Assault Rifle load-outs for ranged conflicts and hitting heavy damage.
Lachmann-556
- Optic: Schalger 3.4x
- Magazine: 60-Round Mag
- Underbarrel: Demo Firm Grip
- Muzzle: Harbinger D20
- Barrel: 5.9 Lachmann Rapp Barrel
Lachmann-556 is one of the most underrated ARs in Warzone 2 and MW2. While most players go for the meta weapons each season, the Lachmann-556 has always remained a consistent Assault Rifle. This AR is accurate, delivers enough firepower to kill enemies in range, and isn’t too heavy to slow your movement.

Best One-Shot Sniper Loadout in Warzone 2 Season 3
You need to mount a fine optic on your weapon for far ranges. We recommend the Schalger 3.4x for the best accuracy here in this loadout. Next, you’d need a 60 Round Magazine to shoot enough rounds without letting the targets run away! However, the vital attachments for this gun are the ones that increase its range and accuracy.
The 5.9 Lachman Rapp Barrel makes this one of the best Warzone 2 Season 3 Assault Rifle loadouts. This attachment increases your damage range and controls your weapon’s recoil. But you can double the benefits of this Barrel by the Harbinger D20 Muzzle, which also silences your shots, going dark again Bravo-6. And at the end, equip a Demo Firm Grip to increase Lachmann-556’s recoil control.
ISO Hemlock
- Optic: Schalger 3.4x
- Magazine: 45-Round Mag
- Underbarrel: Ftac Tiger Grip
- Muzzle: Harbinger D20
- Barrel: Fielder-T50
ISO Hemlock was added to the game in Season 2 a few months ago, and it still rocks even after being nerfed! Most players still prefer this AR over the others for its serious damage. But this gun has one disadvantage we’re trying to fix here: Recoil!
You can use the Fielder-T50 to give your ISO Hemlock a taste of accuracy. Then you can add the famous Harbinger D20 to control your weapon’s recoil. However, you would need a Ftac Tiger Grip Underbarrel to fix the steadiness and double the control on your weapon’s gun kick. Then add the 45-round Mag to shoot as many rounds as you can. And at the end, use an Optic attachment for precision sights, preferably the Schalger 3.4x. This is one of the best Warzone 2 Season 3 Assault Rifle load-outs for hitting long-range.
Call of Duty: Warzone 2 and Modern Warfare 2 are available for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC. Season 3 Reloaded update releases on May 10.
