The Modern Warfare Kar98k is an extremely powerful Marksman Rifle, and this loadout will prime it for both long-range sniping and close-range quick-scoping in Warzone Pacific Season 2.

Modern Warfare’s Kar98k Marksman Rifle is one of the most popular weapons in Warzone Pacific, and this is in large part because of its impressively high bullet velocity and excellent mobility.

The long-range weapon boasts a greater aim assist than the Swiss K31, making it an ideal pick for long-range combat encounters in both Caldera and Rebirth Island.

Here are the attachments and Perks to run to make the best Warzone Kar98k loadout class during Warzone Pacific Season 2.

Best Warzone Kar98k loadout attachments

  • Muzzle: Monolithic Suppressor
  • Barrel: Singuard Custom 27.6″
  • Laser: Tac Laser
  • Optic: Sniper Scope (Crossthread Reticle)
  • Rear Grip: Stippled Grip Tape

We’ll start off the best Warzone Kar98k loadout with the Monolithic Suppressor and the Singuard Custom 27.6″ to increase its effective damage range along with bullet velocity. You won’t have to worry about lead or bullet drop, so aim for the head.

The Tac Laser will improve the weapon’s ADS speed and aiming stability so that you can hit your targets with greater precision, and the 7x magnification of the Sniper Scope suits almost any range in the game.

Lastly, we’ll give a further boost to the weapon’s ADS speed with the Stippled Grip Tape which also comes with the additional benefit of buffing the Modern Warfare Kar98k Marksman Rifle’s Sprint-to-Fire speed.

Best perks to use with Warzone Kar98k class

double time perk in call of duty warzone
  • Perk 1: Double Time
  • Perk 2: Overkill / Ghost
  • Perk 3: Amped
  • Lethal: Semtex
  • Tactical: Heartbeat Sensor

Double Time will increase your Tactical Sprint duration as well as improve your speed while sprinting. While sniping, repositioning between shots is vital. Sprint around and keep your enemy guessing where you’ll appear from, and you’ll find sniper fights much easier.

We strongly recommend pairing an Assault Rifle or SMG with the Kar98k for close-range encounters. Overkill will allow you to take two primary weapons from your first loadout. Then you can hide from the radar with Ghost with your following loadout.

Amped will allow you to instantly change to your secondary weapon, further increasing your speed on the map. You can take a Semtex to handle enemies that run at you, and the Heartbeat Sensor will help you locate opponents quicker.
