Warsone season 4 is here, and just like every season, there are some weapons that are simply better than others. Those are called meta guns. This season, MXR-17 and DS20 Mirage lead the long-range rifle meta, while Dravec 45 and MPC-25 control close-range fights. Strider 300 rounds out the top tier for players who prefer sniping. This guide breaks down each meta weapon one by one, so you can pick the right loadout before your next match.

New Warzone Season 4 meta guns explained

Warzone’s Season 4 meta currently has five Meta weapons. These are the safest picks if you want serious damage, clear roles, and reliable match performance.

The Absolute Meta weapons are:

• MXR-17 for long-range assault rifle fights
• DS20 Mirage for easier long-range control
• Dravec 45 for close-range SMG pressure
• MPC-25 for safer close-range fights
• Strider 300 for sniper builds

The wider meta also includes weapons like Carbon 57, AK-27, Voyak KT-3, Hawker HX, Kogot-7, VS Recon, EGRT-17, and Peacekeeper Mk1. These Warzone guns still work, but the top five give most players a better starting point.

MXR-17: Best long-range assault rifle in Warzone Season 4

The MXR-17 is one of the strongest long-range guns in the current Warzone Season 4 meta. It works best for players who like assault rifles that hit hard across open areas, rooftops, and long sightlines.

Its high pick rate shows that many players trust it as their main rifle. The trade-off comes from control. The MXR-17 has a lower EaseScore than some other top rifles, so it may feel less forgiving if your aim or recoil control slips.

Use the MXR-17 if you want:

• A powerful long-range assault rifle
• A strong main weapon for Battle Royale
• Better damage potential in mid-to-long fights

DS20 Mirage: Best easy long-range rifle for most players

The DS20 Mirage is the better pick if you want a smoother long-range rifle. It has one of the highest EaseScores among the current top guns, which makes it easier to recommend to most players.

This weapon fits players who want clean aim, lower stress, and steady damage. It may not feel as sharp as the MXR-17 for advanced players, but it gives you more comfort in real matches.

Use the DS20 Mirage if you want:

• A stable long-range assault rifle
• A beginner-friendly meta pick
• A rifle that works well with less recoil stress

Dravec 45: Best close-range SMG in Warzone Season 4

The Dravec 45 is the top close-range SMG in the Season 4 meta. It has a very high pick rate, and that makes sense. It fits the current pace of Warzone well, especially in buildings, staircases, and fast squad fights.

The Dravec 45 works best when you move with confidence. It rewards aggressive players who push broken armor, clear rooms, and force close fights before enemies reset.

It also has a sniper support build, which adds more value. That means you can pair it with Strider 300 and still cover short-to-mid-range fights.

MPC-25: Best close-range alternative to Dravec 45

The MPC-25 is another Absolute Meta SMG, but it suits a different type of player. It feels safer than the Dravec 45 and has a strong EaseScore, so it works well if you want a more controlled close-range option.

Pick the MPC-25 if you like SMGs but do not want every fight to feel risky. It gives you a strong answer in tight spaces, but it also feels more manageable during messy squad fights.

Use the MPC-25 if you want:

• A reliable close-range SMG
• An easier weapon than the Dravec 45
• A strong secondary for assault rifle loadouts

Strider 300: Best sniper rifle in the Season 4 meta

The Strider 300 is the strongest sniper choice in the current Absolute Meta. It gives sniper players a clear top-tier option for long sightlines and high-pressure picks.

Sniping in Warzone still depends heavily on positioning. The Strider 300 works best when you control angles, rotate early, and pair it with a strong support weapon. Dravec 45 is the best support choice if you want speed. DS20 Mirage can also work if you prefer more range beside your sniper.
