Best Sniper Rifles in Warzone Season 3 Reloaded

These are the five best sniper rifles to use in Warzone Season 3 Reloaded, all of which can down enemies in just one shot:

5. FJX Imperium

Activision

Best FJX Imperium Warzone Loadout

• Muzzle: Sonic Suppressor L
• Barrel: Fahrenheit 29″
• Laser: SL Razorhawk Laser Light
• Ammunition: .408 Explosive
• Bolt: FJX Blast

You shouldn’t expect to be hitting any cross-map shots with this rendition of the ever-iconic Intervention, but the FJX Imperium is still a good sniper. It has above-average handling and mobility, while also downing with one shot with the .408 Explosive ammo equipped. More importantly, it looks cool and has top-tier nostalgia value, and who doesn’t want that?

4. MCPR-300

Activision

Best MCPR-300 Warzone Loadout

• Muzzle: VT-7 Spiritfire Suppressor L
• Barrel: 22″ OMX-456
• Laser: SL Razorhawk Laser Light
• Ammunition: .300 Mag Explosive
• Bolt: Cronen Smooth Bolt

The addition of newer MW3 snipers has seen the MCPR-300 fall out of favor. Even so, it is still the best MW2 sniper rifle and can hold its own in higher-skill lobbies. It’s not meta in Warzone Season 3 Reloaded, but if you want some variety, this version of the Barrett .50cal hits hard and has good handling and mobility.

3. XRK Stalker

Activision

Best XRK Stalker Warzone Loadout

• Muzzle: Sonic Suppressor XL
• Barrel: Fission 60 Barrel
• Laser: SL Razorhawk Laser Light
• Ammunition: .50 Cal High Grain Rounds
• Bolt: XRK Stalker Light Bolt

The XRK Stalker is the best sniper rifle for Warzone Resurgence thanks to its fast mobility and handling. IT can even down enemies in one shot, but this is capped to its maximum damage range. For this loadout, that’s 71 meters. Not ideal for battle royale where gunfights can take place from hundreds of meters away, but more than enough on smaller maps like Rebirth Island.

2. KATT-AMR

Best KATT-AMR Warzone Loadout

• Muzzle: Sonic Suppressor XL
• Barrel: Zang-34 Barrel
• Stock: Tactical Stock Pad
• Ammunition: .50 Cal High Velocity
• Bolt: Ephemeral Quickbolt

In contrast to the XRK Stalker, the KATT-AMR is slow and heavy. However, it is still an incredible sniper as it can down in one shot at any range. Even better, it doesn’t require a unique ammo type to do so leaving you free to maximize key stats like ADS Speed and Bullet Velocity. If you want to be a true marksman and get kills from hundreds of meters away, this is the best sniper to use in Warzone.

1. MORS

Activision

Best MORS Warzone Loadout

• Barrel: Tonne Heavy Barrel
• Laser: SL Razorhawk Laser Sight
• Stock: Icarus Light Stock
• Ammunition: HVP Anti-Material Slug
• Bolt: Quickbolt

The MORS is the best sniper to use in Warzone Season 3 Reloaded thanks to its incredible power and damage. Even after this season’s nerfs which lowered its bullet velocity and ADS Speed, the MORS remains the best overall option. This railgun isn’t just a top-tier sniper, but also one of the best guns in Warzone period with it leading the current meta.
