Dominate Ranked Play like aCoDpro
Ranked Play is now here in bothCall of Duty: Modern Warfare 2andWarzone 2.0. These game modes are the ultimate challenge for players, queuing them up with and against players of roughly the same skill level. If you want to see how you stack up against talented players and evenCoDpros, you’ll want the best Ranked Play classes.
Best Ranked Play classes forMW2
Starting withMW2, here are the bestRanked Playclasses for this game. There are only a few weapons available in this restrictive mode, and to make matters worse, the attachments are severely limited. Because of this, less is typically more here.
You don’t want to waste attachments on optics or lasers most of the time, as they slow down your weapon and give away your position. In fact, you don’t even want to reach the max five-attachment limit for most loadouts, as you’ll put yourself at a disadvantage.
These are the loadouts that will treat you well across Hardpoint, Search & Destroy, and Control.
Vaznev 9K
The Vaznev is the go-to pro SMG weapon. It is balanced quite well across the board, with a solid fire rate, great range, and decent damage. Here is the best Ranked Play loadout for this weapon:
TAQ-56
The TAQ-56, or Scar, is the best assault rifle for Ranked Play. It has excellent range and handling that keep it from swaying even under fire. Here is the loadout you can use to max out your potential with it:
Vel-46
The Vaznev is the preferred SMG, but the Vel-46 is an underrated option. Not too many players use it, but it is excellent on some of the Hardpoint and Control maps, such asHimmelmatt Expo, Fortress Hardpoint, and Embassy.
SP-X 80
When it comes to sniper rifles, the preferred rifle is the SP-X 80. Of the bolt-action rifles, it is the best across the board in terms of accuracy, recoil, damage, and range. If you want to eliminate opponents in a single shot from across the map in Search & Destroy, this is the loadout you need:
Best Ranked Play classes forWarzone 2.0
Warzone 2.0finally received its own Ranked Play mode with the arrival ofSeason 3. Players can now rise and fall through various skill tiers, depending on how well they perform in battle royale matches. While there are plenty of loadouts to use in this rather open experience, these are the best ones to try out.
ISO Hemlock
The ISO Hemlock is far and away the best assault rifle. It has fantastic range coupled with unshakable accuracy that will help you to dominate those mid-range fights. Here is the Hemlock loadout you should use:
Signal 50
The Signal 50 is the go-to sniper rifle in battle royale. While its handling is a bit rough at times, its speed of fire makes up for that and gives it a unique forgiving stance while still allowing for one-shot eliminations.
The Vaznev returns fromMW2as one of the best SMGs to use in Ranked Play here. It is best used as a secondary weapon due to its limited range in the larger battle royale maps, but it is essentially the best in close-range fights. Here is the loadout for it inWarzone 2.0, which is slightly different:
Kastov 74u
The Kastov 74u is the most balanced and versatile weapon around. Though it is an AR, it can function unbelievably well as an SMG. This makes it perfect for both mid and close-ranges alike. If you want to have a do-it-all weapon, this is the loadout you need to use:
