FAQ

What's the best gun in MW4 right now?

Multiplayer: ISO Nightshade (SMG). Warzone: ISO Nightshade (SMG). DMZ: FiNN LMG (LMG).

How is this tier list made?

Each tier is the average of the tracker rankings cited on the weapon’s page, from sites like codmunity, wzstats and Dexerto. Rankings for one mode count fully; overall rankings count at half weight for every mode. Open any weapon to see every ranking behind it, with its source and date.

How often is it updated?

Rankings were last checked Nov 11, 2026. We re-check after every patch and when the trackers move.

Why is a weapon missing from a mode?

A weapon is only placed in a mode when at least one tracker ranks it there. Right now that leaves out 0 in Multiplayer, 1 in Warzone, 5 in DMZ.

What do the buff and nerf markers mean?

They show the weapon’s most recent change in the patch notes. Tap through to the patch for the exact numbers.

What do the playstyle filters do?

They narrow the list to weapons trackers rank for that playstyle in the selected mode, for example “Long Range” on wzstats or codmunity. Sniper rifles always count as Sniper.
