CoD: Vanguard best guns ranked

10. DP27 – Best LMG in CoD Vanguard

The Pizza Gun or the UFO, or whatever you want to call it, is a unique-looking LMG that packs a lot in its frame. Whilst the MG42 has a better fire rate and a much bigger clip, the DP27 hits a lot harder, retains most of the same accuracy, and just feels like a better LMG.

9. G-43 – Best Marksman Rifle in CoD Vanguard

Semi-Auto Rifles have always been a thing in the Call of Duty franchise with the G3 lighting up Call of Duty 4, and most recently the DMR becoming popular in Cold War and Warzone.

The G-43 takes the crown in Vanguard as it’s so accurate that you can’t help but love it. It’s one of those amazing weapons that excels in its default form, but once you start putting attachments on it, the G-43 really starts to take shape.

8. ITRA Burst

A customary Call of Duty burst gun is up next and the ITRA Burst offers up an interesting dilemma compared to recent years – due to how many bullets it fires.

Traditionally, burst weapons in the series hammer out strings of 3 bullets in quick-fire spurts, but the ITRA Burst tears up the rule book and fires 4 bullets at a time with its standard 20-round mag. Basic maths shows that this is a very risk and reward weapon to use, but if you use it correctly, the ITRA Burst is very effective.

7. Combat Shotgun – Best Shotgun in CoD vanguard

You could argue that some of Vanguard’s maps were basically made for the Combat Shotgun, and you really should as you can have a lot of fun with it.

It boasts some admirable range, a decent fire rate for a pump-action Shotgun, and as with any Shotgun, it hits harder than a herd of stampeding bulls. If you’re not crazy about running the Combat Shotgun as a Primary weapon, then it would be a great Secondary with the Overkill Perk equipped.

6. Kar98k – Best Sniper Rifle in CoD Vanguard

A weapon that will be familiar to many that have dabbled in Warzone at some point, the Kar98k is the go-to Sniper Rifle of choice for many, and the same will probably apply to Vanguard too.

The key to the Kar98k’s unbelievable success is its speed as its ADS time is terrific for such a long-range weapon, and it can near enough one-hit anybody. As long as you have an Ammo Box or extra ammo with you, then Vanguard offers a great deal more Sniper-friendly maps for you to go crazy.

5. Volkssturmgewehr

The Volkssturmgewehr, or Volk for short, is one of a few guns that sacrifices accuracy for speed – a lot of it.

Its base stats already have the gun’s fire rate at a high level, especially in comparison to some battering-ram Assault Rifles. But the gun positively flourished in the Vanguard Beta and Sledgehammer Games have seen no reason to tinker with this finely balanced firearm.

4. PPSH-41

Vanguard’s PPSH-41 is slightly more volatile than its Warzone and Cold War counterpart, but that’s what makes it fun to use.

Whereas the Volk is fast, the PPSH-41 is fast and furious and will rattle through a clip of ammo in no time at all. Combine this with its naturally more lightweight SMG nature, and the PPSH-41 becomes a contender for the best SMG in the game and one of the absolute must-try guns in Vanguard.

3. MP-40 – Best SMG in CoD Vanguard

No, you are reading this correctly, the MP-40 is not in our top two, and we’ll come onto that shortly. But the MP-40 is well-deserving of its third-place spot as it has all the necessary characteristics to make it the best SMG in the game.

It’s had a reputation for being unstoppable in previous Call of Duty games – looking at you World at War – and it retains this identity with ease in Vanguard. Very accurate, even over long distances, and if you manage to unlock and equip the extended magazine, then it can go fire for even longer in crucial fights.

2. STG44

The STG44 only makes it to number two on our ranked list, and it’s very worthy of its spot, as most Call of Duty: Vanguard players will attest to.

Most lobbies will usually have at least half the players using some form of STG44 loadout as it’s an incredible Assault Rifle. It has everything you need from an AR: superb damage range, awesome recoil control, and enough stopping power to make the enemy team cry. It’s a pretty much flawless gun. But why isn’t it first on our list?

1. Automaton – Best Assault Rifle in CoD Vanguard

Because the Automaton AR has all of the STG’s qualities with the extra quality of being a tiny bit faster. Sleep on this gun at your own peril, the Automaton is so vastly underrated and isn’t given a chance by many.

One of its redeeming traits is its easy-to-learn recoil pattern as even without attachments it basically goes up a tiny bit in a straight line. It’s very easy to use, very easy to score a ton of kills with, and for our money is the best weapon to use in Call of Duty: Vanguard.

That covers our extensive look at every weapon in Vanguard with a full ranking of them all. Even though there are nearly 40 guns in the game already, we expect Sledgehammer Games to keep adding more as the seasons go by.
