We theoretically study the magnetoresistvity of a Weyl semimetal within two disorder models: pointlike impurities and charged impurities. Impurity scattering is treated using a self-consistent Born approximation. We find an unusual broadening of Landau levels which leads to a rich structure of various regimes in temperature-magnetic field plane. In particular, the magnetoresitance shows non-monotonous behavior. In the limits of strongest magnetic fields for pointlike impurities, this leads to a vanishing magnetoresistance. For charged impurities, broadening of Landau levels is less important in high magnetic fields. This leads to a positive linear magnetoresistance in strongest magnetic fields.
