The assault rifles in the tier list are listed under five levels explained as follows:

  • S-Tier: The most powerful assault rifles, even without upgrades, and can be deadly in virtually any situation. With upgrades, these guns can handle any situation you throw at them.
  • A-Tier: These require some modification to stand up to S-tier assault rifles but can still be considered formidable assault rifles for any player to use.
  • B-Tier: Laying in the middle of the tier, these can be deadly assault rifles with the right attachments and require some forethought in terms of loadout to be effective.
  • C-Tier: These assault rifles can be considered as last resort options, and even then, only with the most powerful and carefully considered attachments to account for the gun's weaknesses.
  • D-Tier: The ones you must avoid, only for emergency use or if you don't have a weapon to fill in a specific role.

Now, without any further ado, here's the updated assault rifle tier list of Warzone 2:
