Outperforming meta ARs and SMGs in Warzone, a lethal Vanguard sniper has secured the top spot for both win rate and overall KD ratio.

Back in the old days of Warzone on Verdasnk, there were only two meta snipers that players considered using in the Kar98k and Swiss K31.

This all changed in Season 3 when snipers as a whole received a major set of adjustments, removing most rifles ability to one-shot to the head.

However, this shift did make way for a set of powerful Vanguard snipers to finally steal the spotlight and one of them was of course the Gorenko Anti-Tank Rifle.

This powerhouse sniper remains top-tier in Season 5 Reloaded and thanks to its overwhelming firepower, has now secured some of the best stats in Warzone.

There’s nothing better than picking off foes at long range in Warzone and no weapon does it better than the powerful Gorenko.

With a one-shot headshot at an unlimited range, hitmarkers are rarely an issue for the gun if you’re a sharpshooter and precise with your aim.

The build above prioritizes stability and enhancing the gun’s already devastating damage, so there’s never a chance you’ll be lacking in firepower.

As close-quarters skirmishes are not the Gorenko’s strong suit, we recommend running Overkill so you can utilize a meta SMG like the MP40 or Armaguerra 43.

Anyone can call a weapon a powerhouse, but the Gorenko has the stats to back it up in Season 5 Reloaded.

According to WZRanked, the sniper has the highest winrate in Warzone at 5.1% and it’s topping the KD charts as well with an impressive 1.4.

So, if you’re looking for a lethal sniper to wipe out foes in the final hour of Warzone, this is the pick for you.
