To play Call of Duty WWII a common question that arises is what are the best weapons in the game? To answer that scorching question here is a list of the top 5 weapons in the game. This is by no means a complete list and I’m sure some will disagree, because CoD is like that.

One of the main challenges in this game is that you play as many different characters throughout the game. This greatly influence what weapons are available to you in any given campaign, so making a list of the all-time best weapons is really a matter of style and the needs of the campaign.

The countdown starts with one of my favorites the LMG. Nothing says kill Nazi’s faster than an LMG. Here for its best in class is the Lewis Light Machine Gun, coming in at Number 5 on the List of Best Weapons in Call of Duty WWII.

Solid and dependable like your best friend

Despite the commonality of the weapon in the game this is a solid shooter. This rifle is a godsend when you are in a firefight as ammo is plentiful for it, the magazine size is decent, and it fires rapidly with mods that you can acquire in the game such as adding the Rapid Fire mod to it. This mod enables you to shoot much faster. The gun sight is also good for targets a little further out. If you add High Caliber, which you get at level 6, now you’ve got great head shot damage. All in all, a solid choice for one of the top 5 best weapons in the game.

Takes out hordes of Nazi's with ease

It is a great gun that is used widely in Multi-player scenarios. There is not a huge firing distance, but honestly when you’ve got a horde of Nazi’s piling up on you, that’s not really a concern. It can be hard to control due to its recoil, so I’d recommend equipping a grip and extended magazine with it. Overall, a great gun to have by your side.
