The Kastov-762 took the spotlight in Season 2. Its impressive Time to Kill (TTK) at long range made it a top-tier assault rifle. The Kastov-762 did present a challenge in terms of significant recoil, but once players learned how to manage this, it outperformed all other rifles in its class.

Best AR in Warzone Season 3: Lachmann-556

In Season 3, the Lachmann-556 made a name for itself with one of the lowest recoils among ARs. The ease of hitting targets at long ranges made it popular, even though it sacrificed some damage output, leading some players to explore other options.

Best AR in Warzone Season 4: Lachmann-556, M13B and M4

The newcomers of Season 4, the M13B and M4, caused quite a stir. The M13B boasted the highest fire rate in the AR category, a fast TTK, and low recoil, making it ideal for mid to long-range engagements. However, its high fire rate would quickly deplete ammo. On the other hand, the M4 was an all-rounder, with a good TTK and the versatility to be used in various ranges. The M4's recoil was a bit harder to control, though.
