Call Of Duty: Warzone - All Resurgence Contracts Explained
Discover the ins and outs of Resurgence Contracts in Call of Duty: Warzone.
You might be asking yourself which guns are worth using with all these rapid changes; we waited for the first balance patches and created the ultimate list to help you dominate. If you plan on returning to your Warzone grind and like the resurgence game mode, we'll teach you which guns are meta and why we picked them. Let's dive in.

While good loadouts designed for Al Mazrah usually have a weapon specifically modded for extreme long-range gunfights, in Fortune's Keep and most resurgence maps, you really don't see those open spaces to take advantage of those set-ups. This drastically changes the meta of this game mode.
In Resurgence, the best primary weapons are guns that kill fast at medium-to-long range. At those distances, aiming-down-sights speed is critical and will decide many gunfights. On top of that, depending on whether you're playing duos, trios, or quads, your magazine size should also be considered before setting up your weapon.
Depending on your skills and playstyle, choose one of these guns to dominate resurgence; there's something for everyone! We'll also show you an example set-up for every weapon designed to excel at medium-to-long-range gunfights. Pair any of these builds with a good short-range gun, and you'll easily survive Fortune's Keep.
The Meta Guns In Fortune's Keep
The Noob-Friendly All-Rounder - MCW Assault Rifle

If you're new to Call of Duty or even FPS games in general, recoil control will be one of those techniques you'll struggle with at first, but we found the best assault rifle for a new player. The MCW does not feature the fastest time to kill in the patch, but it makes it up due to its low recoil.
If you're playing with friends, this is the best gun for a relaxing session trying to force 2v1s without doing anything too off the wall.
The weapon doesn't move too much and will let you track enemies easily. In our example setup, we tried to make it even easier to control, so you can only focus on your movements and your aim without that much effort. If you plan on playing solo, this isn't the best gun, as you might lose some 1v1s even while hitting all your shots.

Call Of Duty: Warzone - Beginner Strategies For Warzone's Battle Royale
If you're jumping into Warzone in 2024 for the first time, here are some useful tips and strategies that you and your teammates should know.
The Old Trusty RAM-7 Assault Rifle
The RAM-7 finally got nerfed, after being the most dominant force in Warzone for some months. While it's not what it used to be, especially after you go past the 50-meter mark, it's still one of the strongest weapons after the balance patch.
If you're an aggressive player who likes good mobility and high ADS speed, keep using the RAM-7.
While this build is designed to extend the RAM-7's range, it will be handy if you like to rush a lot of squads and move around the map a lot. The visual recoil is extremely low, the time to kill will let you challenge almost anyone, the extended range will let you kill enemies afar, and the 60-round magazine makes you capable of wiping out an entire squad.

The Specialist Weapon - SVA Assault Rifle
The SVA assault rifle is one of the weirdest meta guns in the patch, as its best configuration has to be used in semi-auto mode. Although it may seem too hard for some players, this semi-auto mode features a zero-recoil feel and a lot of damage per bullet. The only difficulty is hitting its RPM limit.
Headshots are greatly rewarded with this SVA build. If you're a precise player, this is the one.
This set-up is perfect if you like tactical shooters and most of your 1v1s are face-to-face without much movement involved. You must practice hitting headshots with the SVA, which significantly accelerates its TTK. Tracking enemies that are running across your screen will feel wonky, though.

The Solo/Duos MVP - MTZ-762 Assault Rifle

The MTZ-762 assault rifle wasn't that bad before Fortune's Keep came back to Call of Duty: Warzone, but its time to kill is now on par with the strongest weapons in the game, especially in medium-to-long range gunfights. It features a slow rate of fire and a magazine with only 30 bullets, making it unforgiving for some players.
While 30 bullets may seem insufficient, its TTK makes it perfect for solo matches.
Tactical, precise players who place their shots carefully will have fun with the MTZ-762, especially in solo or duo games. You can comfortably 1v1 anyone with this gun, even at close range, but its magazine size will feel limiting when playing in trio or quad games.

The Meta Runner-Up - BP50 Assault Rifle

In another universe, the BP50 is the absolute meta of Warzone; unfortunately, weapons like the TAQ Evolvere or the MTZ-762 overshadow it in the eyes of many pro players. We're not pro players, though, and if you mainly play solo or duo matches in resurgence, this might be your favorite.
The major thing holding back the BP50 is its limited magazine size, just like the MTZ-762.
With a high rate of fire and a quick time to kill, the BP50 feels like a beast of an assault rifle. If you tried the MTZ-762, but the slow rate of fire feels too unforgiving, this gun will let you win your gunfights without having to hit many headshots.

The Resurgence Sniper - KATT-AMR Sniper Rifle

While the XTR sniper rifle will let you oneshot opponents up to 60 meters, there's no such feeling as seeing your opponent escape after hitting a headshot. This will never happen with the KATT-AMR sniper rifle due to its infinite range oneshot capabilities.
The KATT-AMR is still the only true one-shot gun in Warzone.
With this build, we tried to mitigate some of the downsides of using this gigantic gun. Some attachments are there just to speed up its aim-down-sights animation or to improve mobility. Try this class if you're only going to snipe while playing Resurgence.
