Battle royale games and snipers go hand-in-hand, and sniping in Warzone 2 is not any different. That said, optimizing your gameplay with the best sniper loadout will often make the difference between winning and losing.
You’re going to want to keep your distance and pick enemies off from afar on Al Mazrah’s giant landscape. There are quite a few options for long-range guns in Warzone 2, considering there are over 50 total weapons to choose from—but there’s one sniper setup that is currently your best bet.
Sniping is lots of fun in MW2 and Warzone 2, even though it seems more difficult than in previous games, especially when enemies have full armor. This doesn’t make it any less viable: it’s still a great choice to make when building your loadout before dropping in for some games.
Here’s the best loadout and class setup for sniping foes in Warzone 2 battle royale.
Best Warzone 2.0 sniper loadouts and class setup
Primary: MCPR-300
- Barrel: 22″ OMX-456
- Laser: FSS OLE-V Laser
- Optic: SP-X 80 6.6x
- Ammunition: .300 Mag High Velocity
- Magazine: 5 Round Mag
The base sniper rifle in Warzone 2 and MW2 is still one of the best. These attachments will help you pick off enemies from serious distances on Al Mazrah by increasing the weapon’s range, accuracy, mobility, and handling.
This setup should help you break enemy armor at the very least, and finish off weakened foes with just one quick and well-aimed precision shot. High Velocity rounds mean that you won’t have too much bullet drop to worry about, but always keep that in mind when sniping at range in battle royale.
Secondary: Lachmann Sub
Use your favorite SMG in your loadout drop to pair up with the sniper. Here’s a solid setup for the Lachmann Sub SMG, also known as the MP5, to help you mow down enemies inside buildings and at close range. Feel free to swap in another SMG of your choice if you prefer it.
- Muzzle: XTEN Razor Comp
- Laser: VLK LZR 7MW
- Stock: Meer Recoil-56 Factory Stock
- Underbarrel: Agent Grip
- Magazine: 40 Round Mag
Tactical: Heartbeat Sensor
Lethal: Claymore
Perk Package: Scout
The rest of your loadout, is pretty flexible, but these additions could help set you apart from the rest. Since you can’t build your own Perk Packages, stick with Scout as it’s built for snipers in general.
