A Call of Duty operator is only as good as their loadout weapon, chock full of attachments that make it better and perform well in certain scenarios. Warzone has the same Gunsmith system as Modern Warfare 2, but the weapons need to perform differently in BR than they do in multiplayer.

It’s crucial to know just what kind of weapon you’ll be picking up when you find one of the many buy stations scattered around Al Mazrah, Ashika Island, or Vondel. Considering the massive size of the new location, a sniper rifle is usually a safe bet if you want to take down enemies while maintaining space between you and them.

Assault rifles and LMGs have way more recoil in Warzone, so sniper rifles look to be an important part of the meta, at least in the game’s early days. There are several MW2 snipers available in the game, but some clearly rise above the rest.

Here are the best sniper rifles to use to take down enemies from a distance in Warzone.
