These weapons are standout on their own, but with the right attachments, they can carry you all the way to the top of the leaderboard with relative ease. The best weapons in Vanguard are ones that you will see multiple players using in every match. Here are the best weapons in Call of Duty: Vanguard.

STG44

This weapon is available for use as soon as you launch Vanguard. Being an Assault Rifle, it excels at close to medium range and is all-around a solid choice for any situation.

MP40

This gun has one of the highest fire rates in Vanguard and will take control of close-range encounters like none other. The MP40 is accurate and puts enemies down quickly. Its only real drawback is its limited magazine size, so without a magazine attachment, you won't be getting too many feeds with this weapon.

DP27

Light Machine Guns are some of the most powerful guns in the game. The DP27 has a very respectable fire rate and performs surprisingly well at almost all ranges. Its large magazine allows you to mow down a dozen enemies before having to reload. Though this magazine does lead to extremely long reload times, it doesn't stop the gun from controlling larger maps where the play is much slower.

Double Barrel

A classic in the Shotgun category, the Double Barrel boasts the highest damage with reliable one-shot kills. In close-range situations, this gun will obliterate your adversaries, and leave them wondering how they died so fast. This gun has only two shots, but even when you do run out, reloading is fast enough to not leave you out of the fight.

Kar98K

One of the most recognizable and popular guns in an FPS game, The Kar98K is a sniper rifle through and through. It sports the highest damage in its category and is capable of one-shotting enemies with body shots. Though it is a bolt-action rifle, this weapon still has the ability to be quick with the right loadout. Don't be too surprised if you see this gun getting double or triple kills.

So there you have it, the best weapons in Call of Duty: Vanguard. Next time you die and are wondering what killed you, chances are it was one of these weapons. Regardless of which attachments are used with these weapons, they will be a force to be reckoned with in battle.

My name is Mason Moses. I am an entertainment aficionado, who spends more time consuming it than I would like to admit. I've been playing video games for the past 15 years and every time I turn one on, it feels like the very first time. Since I liked games so much, I decided that I would write about them.
