Warzone undergoes dynamic shifts with each update, introducing new weapons and changes that impact the game’s meta. For those aspiring to master sniping, we’ve compiled a list of the top seven Sniper Rifles and their optimal loadouts to effectively eliminate enemies with precision.

The power of snipers is unmatched for long-range engagements in Call of Duty Warzone, providing critical support by pressuring and eliminating enemy teams from afar.

To keep them in check and refresh the game‘s meta, Activision has implemented various buffs and nerfs to multiple sniper rifles in the game.

To help you figure things out as quickly as possible, we’ve put together this list of the 7 best snipers in Warzone, along with recommended loadouts for each included.

7. Longbow

The Longbow offers capable power in almost any combat situation in Warzone.

Best Longbow Warzone Loadout

  • Muzzle: Sonic Suppressor
  • Laser: FSS OLE-V laser
  • Barrel: PRO-99 long barrel
  • Ammunition: 7.62X39MM High gran rounds
  • Bolt: SA-M Quickbolt

One of the key features of the Longbow is how customizable it is, allowing players to shape it for quick gunfights as well as slower and stealthier scenarios that take place in long-range maps.

6. Victus XMR

Best Victus XMR Warzone Loadout

  • Muzzle: Sonic Suppressor L
  • Laser: ACCU-Shot 5MW Laser
  • Optic: Heinrichter Hybrid Scope
  • Ammunition: .50 Cal Explosive
  • Stock: XRK Rise 50

The only downside to this weapon and its loadout is that the bullet velocity takes a bit of a hit from the .50 Cal Explosive rounds. However, this is more than okay with how the rest of the attachments bring the gun’s strengths to the forefront with its great damage range, long distance capabilities, and more.

5. FJX Imperium

Best FJX Impreium Warzone Loadout

  • Muzzle: Sonic Suppressor L
  • Barrel: Fahrenehit 29″
  • Optic: Heinrichter Hybrid Scope
  • Ammunition: .408 Explosive
  • Bolt: FJX Blast

You can net some kills from the farthest range possible in the game, even if the bullet velocity takes a hit. Using the Hybrid scope can also help the FJX Imperium become more useful in shorter distances.

4. MCPR-300

MCPR-300 previewed in Call of Duty: Warzone.

Best MCPR-300 Warzone Loadout

  • Muzzle: Sonic Suppressor L
  • Barrel: 22″ OMX-456
  • Optic: Heinrichter Hybrid Scope
  • Ammunition: .300 Mag Explosive
  • Magazine: 5 Round Magazine

An excellent choice to use when engaging in long-range distances, even with some tough recoil. It also gives a hit to movement speed, but the power and capabilities of the MCPR-300 make this almost a moot point.

3. XRK Stalker

XRK Stalker previewed in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3.

Best XRK Stalker Warzone Loadout

  • Muzzle: Sonic Suppressor L
  • Barrel: Fission 60 Barrel
  • Optic: Heinrichter Hybrid Scope
  • Ammunition: .50 Cal High Grain ROunds
  • Bolt: XRK Stalker Light Bolt

With these attachments, the XRK Stalker becomes one of the best snipers in the game thanks to its ability to deliver powerful shots from great distances. There’s not a ton of downsides to using this weapon and when used properly, it can become the dominant weapon in a match.

2. KATT-AMR

Best KATT-AMR Warzone Loadout

  • Muzzle: Sonic Suppressor XL
  • Barrel: Zang-34 Barrel
  • Optic: Heinrichter Hybrid Scope
  • Ammunition: .50 cal High Velocity
  • Bolt: Ephemeral Quickbolt

When the recoil of the KATT-AMR is mastered, it truly becomes one of the absolute best snipers in the game. Its effectiveness is never diminished, no matter the range, and its efficiency with getting accurate shots off is impressive.

1. MORS

The MORS is THE meta sniper in Warzone right now.

Best KATT AMR 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, hands down, the premiere sniper to use in Warzone thanks to its incredible power and damage that can be delivered from just about any range. Its effectiveness at closer ranges is what really sets it apart, though, and makes it the top of the list.
