Best Tactical Equipment in Warzone (MW3), Ranked

With the Call of Duty: Warzone and MW3 integration, some new Tactical Equipment were introduced while others received crucial changes to their behavior. Here's a list of all the 11 Tacticals in the game ranked from the best to worst.

Best Tacticals to use in MW3 Warzone

Tactical Equipment is an essential part of a player's loadout in Warzone. To change your gear, go to Weapons, then Custom Loadout, and select Edit on the class setup you want to modify. Go to Tactical and choose any item from the list. Below is a ranking list of all the Tacticals available in Warzone, but I highly suggest you use one of the top three as they're the most viable options.

1. Smoke Grenade

Smoke Grenade is arguably the meta Tactical in Warzone, which has been favored by players since the Al Mazrah days. It gives you momentary cover that can be utilized to revive an ally, push, or retreat. Even after the recent nerf to the time the smoke lasts, Smoke Grenades are still powerful.

2. Stun Grenade

If you want to push inside a room where enemies are camping waiting for you, a Stun Grenade is your best friend as it drastically slows their movement and throws off aiming for a short while. This impairs the enemy's fighting capabilities, just ensure you aren't directly in front of them else the bullet will hit you.

3. Stim

With the recent MW3 and Warzone Season 1 update, a Stim syringe doesn't only replenish your health, but it also gives a short burst to your movement speed. You can use this to get out of tricky close-quarters engagements or challenge your opponent to surprise them.

4. Flash Grenade

Similar to Stun Grenades, Flashes are great for clearing out a room with enemies but by blinding them. The enemy won't be able to see or hear when affected by this Tactical. However, the recent change to Flash Grenade makes it less effective when the enemy isn't directly facing it.

5. Battle Rage

Just like Stims, the Battle Rage's main function is to regenerate HP. It also provides resistance to Tactical Equipment, slightly reduces damage, and refreshes tac sprint so you can run faster for longer.

6. Experimental Gas

Gas Grenades in Warzone have been primarily used by passive players to stop the enemy from pushing. The cloud of gas causes blurred vision and slows down movement significantly, but the new Experimental Gas also deals some damage over time which makes the Tactical slightly more powerful.

7. Snapshot Grenade

If you're in a building and know there are enemies inside, you can throw a Snapshot Grenade to highlight them through walls for a brief moment. This gives you information on your opponents' position and you can decide how to attack.

8. Scatter Mine

Scatter Mine is a completely new Tactical Equipment that you can place on the floor to lay a series of mines. These mines don't damage the enemy a lot but are meant to make you aware of the threat.

9. EMD Grenade

If an enemy is affected by your EMD Grenade, their squad members are marked on your team's minimap for a while. This Tactical may seem good on paper, but there are far better options available.

10. Shock Stick

Throw this device on any surface and the enemy in contact receives an electric shock causing them to fire their weapon with no control, just make sure you don't come in their line of fire.

11. Decoy Grenade

Decoy Grenades are by far the least practical and pointless Tactical Equipment in Warzone if you ask me. Yes, they create noises like gun sounds and footsteps, but that doesn't really distract the opponent given they're somewhat familiar with the game.
