5. FJX Imperium

FJX Imperium Intervention in Warzone 2 and Modern Warfare 2
The FJX Imperium is one of the best Snipers in Season 3.

The iconic Intervention, now called the FJX Imperium, has managed to maintain a spot in the top five best Snipers list as Warzone players in Season 3 continue to enjoy its familiarity and ease of use.

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.

4. 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 of the battle royale, 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.

3. 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 the top spot to some post-launch powerhouses.

While it’s considered a slower weapon, when using the right attachments, this Sniper becomes a powerful choice. It brings excellent damage, bullet velocity, and range to the table in Warzone.

2. XRK Stalker

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

The XRK Stalker is known for its great mobility, ADS speed, and outstanding damage in Warzone.

The one-shot meta was previously dominated by the KATT-AMR before the XRK Stalker became the most powerful and popular Sniper Rifle in Warzone. It can dominate long ranges in Urzikstan and Rebirth Island, resembling the beloved Kar98k from the game’s first iteration.

1. MORS – Best Sniper in Warzone

The MORS Sniper Rifle from Advanced Warfare joined Warzone with the Season 3 update and the new weapon has immediately shot straight up to the top spot.

After unlocking the weapon in the Season 3 Battle Pass, Warzone players will discover that the MORS is the best Sniper Rifle in the game because it has the fewest drawbacks among all of the options available.

Thanks to the HVP Anti-Material Slug attachment, the MORS can one-shot kill players at any distance with a headshot. While the Sniper is powerful, it also leaves nothing to be desired in terms of mobility, making it the best Sniper in Warzone.
