Warzone Season 2 Reloaded is in full swing, as the mid-season update brought a new Fortune’s Keep POI to discover and, most importantly, weapon balance changes to shake up the meta.

5. Victus XMR

Warzone Victus XMR
Warzone’s Vicus XMR boasts impressive handling and range.

Despite not achieving immense popularity in the previous iteration of Warzone, the Victus XMR managed to position itself in fifth place due to its excellent mobility and comfort.

This Sniper has a great balance of handling and damage range. Usually, Snipers with long-range potential in Warzone tend to be on the slower side, but the Victus has great ADS speed for a weapon that can take down enemies from a considerable distance.

4. FJX Imperium

The FJX Imperium is one of the best Snipers in Season 2 Reloaded.

The iconic Intervention, now called the FJX Imperium, has managed to maintain its fourth spot on the best Sniper list as Warzone players in Season 2 continue to find it extremely useful for long-range combat.

This powerful Sniper strikes the perfect balance between range and mobility. With the right combination of attachments, it has an ADS speed fast enough to cope at mid-range, allowing it to easily down enemies over long distances.

3. MCPR-300

Warzone players who like heavy Snipers will enjoy using the MCPR-300.

Despite not being an extremely popular weapon, MW2’s MCPR-300 remains a powerful Sniper pick within Warzone. This Sniper was a fan-favorite choice during the previous iteration, given its great performance for long-range combat.

Unfortunately, this gun needs Explosive rounds to one-shot kill enemies. However, it has excellent range and damage, capable of wiping out entire squads with a handful of well-placed shots.

2. KATT-AMR

KATT-AMR in Warzone
The KATT-AMR was the best Sniper in Warzone following MW3’s integration, but that didn’t last long.

Despite previously being the only Sniper capable of one-shot killing enemies in Warzone, the KATT-AMR has lost its position to the XRK Stalker. Nonetheless, while it’s considered a slower weapon, when using the right attachments, this Sniper becomes a powerful choice, boasting excellent damage, bullet velocity, and range.

1. XRK Stalker – Best Sniper in Warzone

Warzone Season 2 weapon adjustments gave the XRK Stalker one-shot kill potential.

The XRK Stalker claims Warzone’s best Sniper Rifle spot. This weapon is known for its great mobility, ADS time, and outstanding damage.

After the one-shot meta being dominated by the KATT-AMR, the XRK Stalker has become the most powerful and popular Sniper Rifle to dominate long ranges in Urzikstan and Fortune’s Keep, resembling the beloved Kar98k from the game’s first iteration.

All in all, that’s a wrap on the best Sniper Rifles in Warzone Season 2 Reloaded. For more on Warzone, check out some of our other guides:
