Modern Warfare 3 Warzone Season 3 Best Guns Ranked

The choice of the one, true "best" weapon doesn't exist, as it largely depends on the individual's playstyle, map, and customization. However, there are some weapons you can use in most situations while playing the Warzone.

(P.S. This list won't contain Nuke since that would be a bit of overkill.)

TAQ Eradicator

Light Machine Guns usually aren't very favorable weapons when it comes to Modern Warfare 3 because of too much recoil, which makes any precision aiming next to impossible. However, the TAQ Eradicator has build options that make its recoil very much controlled, so it works as an Assault Rifle rather than an SMG.

SVA 545

This gun improved a lot in Season 3, making it a competitive Assault Rifle. I dare say it's better at close and medium range than the undisputed MCW. SVA 545 has a crazy high fire rate, which, combined with next to no recoil, makes it highly reliable in most combat situations.

Haymaker

Haymaker is a scarily powerful auto-shotgun that is undisputed for clearing small spaces and close combat. With the JAK Maglift Kit installed, Haymaker becomes a fire-breathing monster with 60 shell drum capacity and a fire rate of an SMG. The only Haymaker's downside is the lack of long range.

Rival-9

Rival-9 is still the best SMG in the game. It is ideal for short—and mid-range combat and even usable in long-range if you know your drill. This is a great weapon for aggressive players, with amazing recoil control, and it's reliable for almost any map and combat situation.

MCW

The title of the best gun in Season 3, which is also the best gun in the game, still belongs to MCW. Although this gun doesn't work well at close range, its recoil is almost non-existent, and it has a great damage range and bullet speed. Even with all the nerfs applied, MCW still rules supreme.
