Warzone 2: BEST Snipers & Loadouts [2024]

Being a good sniper is a blessing in call of duty games and has huge benefits in warzone 2. Sniping is an essential part of the game and to be good at it, you need to play with the best in-game snipers.

Even when playing with a high-caliber sniper, you might not land those long-range kills. That is due to keeping the best snipers with the wrong perks and attachments equipped.

Warzone 2 currently has 5 snipers including MCPR-300, Victus XMR, Signal 50, LA-B 330, and SP-X 80. Out of 5, our top 3 suggested sniper rifles are LA-B 330, Signal 50, and Victus XMR.

Sniping is interesting in warzone 2 because you cannot one-shot an enemy even with a perfect headshot. If you are equipped with 3 armor plates (250 HP), still the highest damage a sniper can deal to you is 200.

LA-B 330

Attribute	Value
Damage	275/163/122/91
STK	1
TTK	0ms
DPS	158
RPM	58
ADS	600ms
Full Reload	3.67s
Tac Reload	2.73s
Move Speed	83%
Mag Size	5

Description

LA-B 330 is the best bolt-action sniper rifle in the game right now. It is debatable to say Signal 50 is better, but the greater handling and more accuracy of LA-B 330 prove it’s a better choice.

Bolt-action snipers are known for their long range, but LA-B 330 comes with additional high damage and more accuracy which makes it the deadliest sniper in warzone 2.0.

Bullet Velocity plays an important role when using LA-B 330 as higher bullet velocity leads to less bullet drop so the bullet projectile is straighter and more accurate. LA-B 330 can be unlocked by reaching level 16 with SA-B 50 Marksman rifle.

Best Weapon Attachments

LA-B 330 works have a wide range, but we suggest the following weapon attachments which are suitable for high-kill rounds when under pressure.

• Barrel: 23.5” Fluted R-67
• Bolt: FSS ST87
• Comb: Aim Assist 406
• Muzzle: Nilsound 90
• Laser: FSS Ole-V Laser
• Stock: ZLR T70 Pad Extension

As mentioned above, Bullet Velocity and High Damage are two important factors when using LA-B 330. The 23.5” Fluted R-67 fulfills both our requirements and additionally, suppresses our shots so our position is not revealed.

To minimize ADS time and enable quick scoping in aggressive plays, the ZLR T70 stock extension is recommended. LA-B 330’s default ADS and high mobility make it a potent sniper for fast-paced gameplay.

Missing shots is common for snipers, and quick recovery is vital. The FSS ST87 bolt significantly reduces the time between shots, allowing you to recover quickly after a miss and take down your opponent with a follow-up shot.

Best Perks & Secondary Pick

You are allowed 2 Base Perks in your loadout. We will suggest that you keep Overkill as your first Base Perk. Overkill lets you equip any primary gun as your secondary gun. So, if you have LA-B 330 in your first slot, you need something powerful and faster in the second slot.

In this case, Kastov 545 is the best option for you. 3 terms are enough to describe this Assault Rifle: Low Recoil, High Damage, and High Accuracy. Kastov 545 will be your perfect companion when opponents intend to aggress on you.

The second base perk can be Bomb Squad. When equipped on it, you take less damage from non-killstreak explosives hence keeping your survival rate high. Keep Focus as your mid-game bonus perk which will increase your ADS accuracy due to extended Hold Breath duration.

Finally, for your Ultimate Perk, use High Alert due to which your vision pulses when an opponent is detected outside of your vision. It quickly alerts you that the enemy is close by, so you get cautious and search for them.

Signal 50

Attribute	Value
Damage	234/163/102/91
STK	1
TTK	0ms
DPS	361
RPM	133
ADS	680ms
Full Reload	5.38s
Tac Reload	4.1s
Move Speed	82%
Mag Size	5

Description

If you are looking for speed, then your answer should be Signal 50. This is, by far, the fastest sniper in warzone 2. Talk about quick scope kills, ADS kills, or even long-range kills, this sniper can do everything and that’s why Signal 50 is one of the best snipers in warzone 2.0.

Getting battle royale victories in Al-Mazrah can be hard for a sniper player. With Signal 50 as your primary weapon and some tweaks, this sniper can dominate.

Best Weapon Attachments

After testing a lot of attachments on this sniper, we have finalized the best weapon attachments which provide increased fire rate and more recoil control.

• Barrel: 29″ TV Kilo-50
• Laser: FSS Ole-V Laser
• Magazine: 7-Round Magazine
• Muzzle: Bruen Agent 90 Silencer
• Rear Grip: SA Finesse Grip
• Stock: FSS Echo Stock

A couple of important points to consider:

1. While lasers can reveal your position, we’ve included the FSS Ole-V Laser for the benefits of increased ADS speed and aim stability, making it a viable option for aggressive kills.

2. The choice of optical attachment is left to your preference, as it doesn’t significantly impact the Signal 50’s performance.

3. To enhance sprint-to-fire speed and ADS speed for quick scoping, we recommend the SA Finesse Grip, compensating for the default slowness of the weapon.

4. Bullet Velocity is crucial for snipers. The Bruen Agent 90 Silencer attachment not only reduces recoil but also decreases bullet drop, ensuring greater accuracy.

5. The 7-Round Magazine provides extra shots for confident and aggressive playstyles, giving you an edge in close encounters.

Best Perks & Secondary Pick

To increase your survival rate in Al-Mazrah and secure victory in battle royale games, follow these strategies:

1. Prioritize stealth and slow gameplay.
2. Select Overkill as your first Base Perk to carry a second primary weapon for close-range combat.
3. Choose the Kastov 74-U or M16 as your second primary weapon for their speed and effectiveness.
4. Opt for Tracker as your second Base Perk to maintain stealth by silencing your footsteps.
5. Equip Fast Hands as your mid-game Bonus Perk to switch weapons quickly and reload faster.
6. Make Ghost your Ultimate Perk to stay undetected from UAVs, given that many players use Bird’s Eye.
7. Always be vigilant of your surroundings when playing in shadows and consider using claymores for added protection.

Description

At number 3, we have MCPR-300 which is the best long-range option for you. MCPR-300 is your only option if you are camping and want to hit long-range shots with maximum accuracy.

For Sniper Specialists, MCPR-300 is the only viable option when heading into Al-Mazrah because it is the biggest battle royale map made by the developers.

It can be used as a deadly long-range sniper as well as a quick-scope killing machine if used with proper attachments and perks. You don’t have to do anything to unlock this sniper as it will already be unlocked for you.

Best Weapon Attachments

Currently, the best-tested MCPR-300 loadout will let you extend its maximum potential so you can land those unexpected shots that make your enemies rage quit.

Starting with weapon attachments:

• Barrel: 17.5” Orca Barrel
• Bolt: Cronen Smooth Bolt
• Laser: FSS Ole –V Laser
• Magazine: 5-Round Mag
• Rear Grip: Cronen Cheetah Grip

These attachments enhance the MCPR-300’s fire rate, shot range, accuracy, and handling. The 17.5” Orca Barrel provides stability, reducing ADS shake. The FSS Ole-V Laser and Cronen Cheetah Grip improve sprint-to-fire and ADS speed, making quick scoping more efficient. This loadout excels in long-range positions, making it effective for camping and sniping.

Best Perks & Secondary Pick

To build the perfect class for the MCPR-300 loadout:

1. Primary Weapon: MCPR-300 Sniper Rifle with the specified attachments.
2. Secondary Weapon: Start with a regular pistol and swap with an SMG or AR from defeated opponents.
3. Perk 1: Overkill to carry two primary weapons.
4. Perk 2: Weapons Specialist Perk Package for additional primary weapon options.
5. Tactical Equipment: Claymores to defend your flank and create a safe zone.

Victus XMR

Attribute	Value
Damage	275/199/107/99
STK	1/1/2/2
TTK	0ms
DPS	149
RPM	45
ADS	600ms
Full Reload	4.15s
Tac Reload	2.97s
Move Speed	86%
Mag Size	5

Description

The Victus XMR is a powerful Bolt-Action sniper rifle in Warzone 2, known for its high damage and bullet velocity. It uses .50 Cal BMG ammunition and can one-shot opponents. To unlock it, complete the A7 Sector of Season 1 battle pass, which includes four base awards.

Best Weapon Attachments

Snipers having a highly accurate aim using Victus XMR are more deadly. Our suggestion for the best Victus XMR loadout is down below.

Starting with weapon attachments:

• Barrel: Mack 8 33.5 Super
• Laser: Accu-Shot 5MW Laser
• Ammunition: .50 Cal High Velocity
• Rear Grip: Bruen Q900
• Stock: XRK Rise 50

The Mack 8 33.5 Super barrel extends the damage range significantly and increases bullet velocity, improving accuracy for long-range shots. However, it slightly reduces ADS speed. To counteract this drawback, the Accu-Shot 5MW Laser is added to boost ADS speed, making it effective for quick scoping and long-range engagements.

While lasers can reveal your position, it’s less of a concern at longer ranges. The XRK Rise 50 stock enhances weapon mobility, reducing the time it takes to crouch and ADS. This loadout, when combined with explosive rounds, can make the Victus XMR a powerful one-shot sniper rifle. To unlock Explosive Rounds, achieve 3 quickscope kills in 15 different matches. With these attachments, quick scoping becomes more manageable.

Best Perks & Secondary Pick

Now that we have made this gun fully optimized for long shots and quick scopes, it’s time we make the whole loadout. For your secondary pick, you will need something fast to wipe out enemies on the point-blank range.

1. Secondary Weapon: Kastov-74U

   • The Kastov-74U is a powerful assault rifle, ideal for close-range combat. It deals high damage and can help you eliminate enemies in close-quarters situations. While it may be less effective at mid-range, your fast ADS speed will compensate for this.

   Alternatively, you can consider the STB 556 as your secondary weapon. It offers accuracy and versatility, making it suitable for mid-range and close-range fights. Use it to finish off opponents after hitting them with the Victus XMR.

2. Base Perks:

   • Bomb Squad: Detects enemy explosives in your vicinity, helping you find safe spots to snipe from.
   • Double Time: Increases your sprint duration, allowing you to move quickly between positions.

3. Mid-game Bonus Perk:

   • Fast Hands: Reduces weapon reload times, ensuring you can get back into the action faster.

4. Ultimate Perk:

   • Bird’s Eye: Reveals nearby enemy UAVs and Radar pings, keeping you aware of enemy positions.

5. Tactical Equipment:

   • Flash Grenades: Useful for aggressive playstyles, these grenades can blind enemies, making it easier to secure kills in close combat.

If you are in the mood to play aggressively, keep Flash grenades in your tactical equipment list which will blind the enemies so you can kill them easily.

SP-X 80

Attribute	Value
Damage	275/163/122/91
STK	1/1/2/2
TTK	0ms
DPS	166
RPM	61
ADS	520ms
Full Reload	3.68s
Tac Reload	3.67s
Move Speed	86%
Mag Size	5

Description

There is no doubt that a heavy sniper rifle does the job. But never underestimate a powerful lightweight sniper rifle. SP-X 80 is a powerful sniper that can prove to be lethal at close range.

If you are struggling using SP-X 80 in Al-Mazrah due to long range, don’t worry because these weapon attachments will help you increase sniper rifle bullet range, and it will deal more damage.

Best Weapon Attachments

In Al-Mazrah, mostly the obvious way to stack up kills is to take up your sniper and camp in a corner. You can do that with any gun, but SP-X 80 can do it better than them. With the following attachments, you might have a good chance at getting that Battle Royale Victory.

We will use the advantage of a lightweight sniper, as it will be easy to switch and scope in with it. The attachments focus on damage range and accuracy.

• Ammunition: .300 High Velocity
• Laser: FSS Ole-V Laser
• Muzzle: FTAC Reaper
• Magazine: 8-Round Magazine
• Rear Grip: Schlager Match Grip
• Stock: PVZ-890 Tac Stock

Choosing a heavier Muzzle will be a bad decision on a lightweight sniper rifle due to weight imbalance that is why we have chosen an FTAC Reaper. This increases the bullet velocity of SP-X 80, and you have more control over the gun recoil now which helps at longer ranges.

To give a maximum boost to the sniper’s bullet velocity, we have used the .300 High-Velocity ammo which is used on most snipers to achieve the same objective. The 8-round Mag gives you some extra shots before you reload which is useful in a 1v1 fight.

Your opponent will spot you from far away if you ADS with the FSS Ole-V laser, but it won’t matter as you will already be giving away your sniper glare. So, use it while you can add some mobility points to your SP-X 80

Best Perks & Secondary Pick

With a lightweight sniper rifle as your primary, swapping between secondary and primary picks is faster. That is why we recommend balancing your picks.

1. Secondary Weapon: SP-X 80

   • The SP-X 80 is a versatile SMG that excels at close ranges, making it a valuable tool for fending off multiple opponents. Its agility and close-quarters combat effectiveness will help keep you alive when you’re under pressure.

2. Tactical Equipment:

   • Heartbeat Sensor: Use the heartbeat sensor to detect nearby enemies and take them out before they get too close.
   • Semtex: A throwable explosive that can clear out camping spots and eliminate enemies in cover.

3. Base Perks:

   • Weapons Specialist: This perk package includes Overkill, allowing you to carry two primary weapons, and it’s essential for a versatile loadout.
   • Strong Arm: Improves the accuracy and throwing distance of your throwables, making them more effective.

4. Ultimate Perk:

   • Survivor: When playing with a squad, Survivor is a useful ultimate perk. If you get knocked down by an opponent, it will ping them, and your teammates can revive you faster.

This loadout provides flexibility, allowing you to handle both long-range engagements with your sniper rifle and close-quarters combat with your SMG. Use the heartbeat sensor to maintain awareness of nearby enemies, and leverage Semtex to clear out camping spots effectively. Strong Arm enhances your throwable accuracy, ensuring you can utilize your grenades to their full potential.

Conclusive Remarks

Warzone 2.0 includes 5 snipers in their weapon inventory at their initial release. Sniping is an important part of this game. Sniping becomes fun and easy if you know the gun statistics and how to use it. LA-B 330 is the best sniper because of its high damage dealing to the upper body of your opponent. It also provides more accuracy when used with a 23.5” Fluted R-67 Barrel.

That is all for the Best Snipers in-game. Make sure you try all the snipers with our mentioned loadouts and notice the improvement you will have.
