Warzone 2’s Marksman Rifles excel in inflicting significant damage in long-range engagements, and if you’re curious about which ones reign supreme, we have the solution. Here’s our ranked list of the best Marksman Rifles in Warzone 2 Season 5 Reloaded.

Warzone 2 Season 5 Reloaded is well underway and players are enthusiastically exploring the vast array of fresh content that arrived in the game. This includes the introduction of new weaponry such as the Lachmann Shroud, 9mm Daemon, and Pickaxe Melee, along with newly added camo challenges, and more.

While the most popular weapons in Warzone 2 tend to be Assault Rifles and SMGs, Marksman Rifles are still extremely viable options for long-range combat encounters. If you prefer more methodical, single-fire guns over automatic weaponry, then Warzone 2 has plenty of options.

Best Warzone 2 Marksman Rifles

8. Crossbow

In last place, we have the Crossbow, nothing is more than a fun gimmicky weapon to use in Warzone 2. If you’re looking to mess around and have some fun taking down players with an interesting weapon, then the Crossbow is perfect for you.

While it’s certainly satisfying to rack up kills with the Crossbow, it lacks the attributes and characteristics to become a competitive weapon in Warzone 2.

7. Lockwood MK2

The Lockwood MK2 is a lever-action rifle that has a very “old-west” feel to it. While this Marksman Rifle has great damage and range, its fire rate, recoil control, and accuracy let it down when it comes to versatility and consistency in Warzone 2.

It’s definitely not a bad weapon, as it has great damage potential, however, you’d really need to master the Lockwood MK2 in order to consistently outperform other players with much faster weapons.

6. SA-B 50

Next up we have the SA-B 50, which is one of the weapon category’s bolt-action rifles. Despite having promising stats, with great damage, range, fire rate, handling, and mobility, there’s another bolt-action rifle in this category that just outdoes the SA-B 50 when it comes to overall performance in Warzone 2.

5. LM-S

In fifth, we have the LM-S Marksman Rifle, which stands as the fastest-firing semi-automatic rifle in Warzone 2. This weapon has a great fire rate for a high-damage single-fire weapon, meaning its TTK is faster than that of the TAQ-M.

However, its accuracy, mobility, and handling prevent it from being the best semi-automatic rifle in Warzone 2.

4. EBR-14

The EBR-14 is a classic semi-automatic rifle that definitely packs a punch, with great damage for a semi-automatic weapon that can two-shot enemies all over Al Mazrah, Vondel, and Ashika Island.

The sheer damage combined with great accuracy, range, handling, and recoil control makes the EBR-14 the best semi-automatic Marksman Rifle in the game, allowing players to two-shot enemies even from fairly far out.

3. SP-R 208

In third place, we have the SP-R 208 as a top-tier Marksman Rifle in Warzone 2. This weapon may as well be a Sniper Rifle, as it’s a bolt-action rifle that does serious damage, while also retaining some great mobility and handling stats.

The reason the SP-R 208 is number three on the list is due to its high accuracy, mobility, and handling, which means players will be able to get shots off with this weapon extremely quickly while maintaining accuracy.

If you like to quickscope or engage in close-range sniping, this is definitely the Marksman Rifle for you.

2. TAQ-M

In second place, we have the TAQ-M semi-automatic Marksman Rifle, which has deadly damage, but an extremely slow fire rate.

While this weapon can definitely be efficient, two-shotting most enemies even with armor, especially if you get a headshot, unfortunately, its fire rate means that most times you may not get the chance to shoot an enemy twice.

1. Tempus Torrent – Best Marksman Rifle in Warzone 2

When the Tempus Torrent arrived in Season 2 Reloaded, it took over Warzone 2 as the most dominant weapon around. The Marksman Rifle boasts incredibly low recoil and its TTK remains impressive, despite how easy it is to use.

Unfortunately, the Tempus Torrent received nerfs in subsequent updates that saw it fall out of the best guns in the game category. However, it still packs the firepower to be considered the best Marksman Rifle in Warzone 2.
