Best Sniper Rifles in COD Warzone

Published by

In the battle royale game, there are plenty of weapons to choose from, but nothing beats a sniper rifle for sheer satisfaction. Here are the best Sniper Rifles in COD Warzone.

Sniper Rifles have always been useful in the game especially with such a huge area of the Verdansk map. The developers, on their rebalance spree, have changed almost every weapon in the game but somehow missed the Sniper Rifles. 

Sniper or marksman rifles are long-range weapons that, if chosen wisely, can destroy opponents. Sniper Rifles have been slowly but steadily getting better treatment from Raven, from bullet velocity to attachment functionality. This is as fast as a sniper rifle can go in Warzone right now with the correct attachments. The ADS speed, rate of fire, and overall specifications make this a superb choice for your loadouts. You can also check out our list of the Best Assault Rifles in COD Warzone.

Best Sniper Rifles in COD Warzone

1. KAR98K

In COD Warzone, the Kar98k is still the best sniper rifle to use if you have the talent to utilise it. It received improvements to its shooting recoil behaviour in the previous patch, and it continues to melt foes with its one-shot killing power. Since its release, the Kar98k has been one of the greatest sniper rifles in the game. For aggressive players who wish to employ an agile sniper rifle that allows them to move about the battlefield, there is no better alternative.

  • Singuard Custom 27.6″
  • Tac Laser
  • Sniper Scope
  • FTAC Sport Comb

2. SWISS K31

The K31 Swiss is another outstanding choice, because of its dependability, strong damage output, and fast bullet velocity. This is a great weapon if you are looking for a bolt-action sniper rifle with a different style of action. The Swiss K31 is an excellent choice for players who desire the shape of a Kar98k or Pelington 703 yet want to shoot large distances.

3. HDR

The HDR is another Warzone sniper capable of taking out a target with a single headshot. With the correct attachments, you can modify this sniper to have nearly no travel time or bullet drop, making it ideal for extremely long-range sniping. Although the range advantage won’t help you in most instances, it can make HDR a little more user-friendly.

  • Tac Laser
  • 26.9″ HDR Pro
  • FTAC Stalker-Scout
  • FMJ

4. Pelington 703

The Pelington 703 may be the ideal sniper rifle for you if you want to play aggressively. This sniper rifle, like the Kar98k, is fantastic for fast-scoping, allowing players with steady hands to swiftly rack up headshots as soon as they see another sniper. To see which attachments you should use, look at our optimal Pelington 703 Warzone loadout.

  • Raider Pad
  • Infiltrator Grip
  • Fast Loader
  • Airborne Elastic Wrap

5. AX-50

Despite having similar damage to the HDR, the AX-50 is held back by its substantially slower bullet velocity, which means it isn’t nearly S-tier material. Despite this, due to its one-shot lethality, it is a good weapon to wield.

  • Lightweight Suppressor
  • 32.0″ Factory Barrel
  • Tac Laser
  • Signuard Arms Assassin
  • Stippled Grip Tape

6. ZRG 20mm

Another amazing sniper rifle is the ZRG 20mm, which has the quickest bullet velocity in its class. It does decent damage but fires slowly, putting it in the A-tier for the time being. This sniper rifle was debuted with minimal enthusiasm in Season 2, however, a lot of changes to the meta sniper rifles have been made to make this weapon more appealing.

7. SP-R 208

After being nerfed in October 2020, the SPR sniper rifle was largely neglected by the Warzone community. The SPR is a bolt-action rifle, which performs best in close-range combat. However, this sniper rifle shines in mid-range fights. To discover how strong the SP-R 208 can be, try out our greatest loadout.

  • SP-R 26″
  • .338 Lapua Mag 5-R Mags

8. LW3 Tundra

For the time being, the LW3 Tundra stays on our B-tier list. While it is a worthy rival to weapons such as the ZRG 20mm and SP-R 208, it requires a well-rounded loadout to properly shine. The bullet velocity of the LW3 Tundra is the quickest of any sniper rifle in the game. The loadout comes with a one-of-a-kind scope that can zoom from 2x to 20x without causing lens flare glare. This is especially effective in Warzone because your target won’t be able to identify which direction you’re shooting from.

9. Rytec AMR

The next Warzone sniper rifle may take some time to settle into the meta, although it now ranks highly for the same reason as the HDR and AX-50. The ability to take out an enemy with a single headshot is the key reason for this placement. It does shoot swiftly, so if your aim is good, you can take out an entire opponent squad in a short span of time.

  • FTAC 448mm Dictator
  • Tac Laser
  • VLK 3.0x Optic
  • Stippled Grip Tape
  • STOVL Tac-Wrap

10. SKS

Because of its more tolerable recoil and better attachment versatility, the SKS is easily the best of the semi-auto marksman and sniper rifles. At best, the SKS is a respectable weapon, but it should only be considered in rare circumstances.

  • Monolithic Suppressor
  • 22″ FSS M59/66
  • VLK 3.0x Optic
  • Commando Foregrip
  • 30 Round Mags
