5 Best Sniper Rifles in Call of Duty: Warzone
5. Dragunov
To start off the list here is the least popular and arguably the most underwhelming sniper in Warzone. The Dragunov is rarely used by a solid majority of players. However, that doesn’t mean it isn’t possible to get kills with the gun if you position it correctly and use the right loadout. The last part is key.

When using this Dragunov loadout, it’s the best practice that you’re stationary and sniping enemies from a distance. This is certainly not the most devastating sniper in the game, but as long as you hit your shot, it’ll always do a solid amount of damage.
4. Swiss K31
This sniper is just a little different than the rest. It is the newest addition to the game since Season 3. Although the default version of the K3 isn’t anything to write home about, because of its fast ADS speed, it is incredibly effective at medium range as well.
The aim-down sight speed of this sniper can certainly feel slower compared to the rest of the list, the loadout above gives it a little more speed and range. It’s not quite powerful enough to contest with the top 3 on this list, but it’s certainly a solid long-range option for players.

3. LW3 - Tundra
This sniper, originating in Black Ops Cold War, is arguably the most popular in Warzone due to its HIGH bullet velocity. As long as you give it the right loadout, you will not only have the fastest sniper around, you also won’t adjust your aim all too much either.
With this loadout, especially with the Royal & Kross not having any glint on the scope, your target won’t be able to tell which direction they are being shot from. Even though it does not have as much range as the HDR, it’s perfect for medium-range engagements and earns its spot in the list of the best sniper rifles in Warzone.
2. HDR
If you’re looking for long-range and power, look no further than the HDR. Even without a loadout, it is a seriously formidable sniper. It is considerably heavier than the rest on this list but that doesn’t mean it’s not effective. If you have been randomly knocked from hundreds of meters away, it was probably the HDR.
This loadout gives the gun just a bit more speed and that adjustable sight is always killer. Many players will still opt for a much faster sniper thanks to the current meta, but nothing will be better for long-range sniping like the HDR.
If someone in your party is holding one of these, then it’s not about moving around, and rushing in with the advantage. It’s all about sitting back, taking out enemies from a distance, and trying to take out those elusive most wanted contracts. This is why the HDR makes it to the top 2.
1.KAR98K(Best Sniper Rifle in Call of Duty)
To top the list we finally have the KAR98K, the most used and arguably the most well-rounded sniper in the game. This is the one sniper that can get you out of nearly any situation you find yourself in Warzone. You will see this gun with nearly every streamer and professional esports player.
With this loadout, it will have an incredibly fast ADS time, allowing you to use it even in close-medium range situations. Because of this, most players pair this with an SMG to be more effective at close range. If a player is mounted, you can get a good peak with the Kar for a quick and easy headshot.
