Best Sniper Rifle to use in BO6 Warzone

While the meta in Call of Duty: Warzone is always changing from season to season or even week to week, it has remained a long-range dominant battle royale. Assault rifles, light machine guns, and marksman rifles have consistently been a staple in the meta for years and that's continued in Black Ops 6 (BO6). However, the sniper rifle class has been somewhat overlooked this year in Warzone due to players not knowing the best overall sniper.

Snipers have been altered several times since the BO6 integration in Warzone, which has caused confusion in the community. Players aren't sure if they should be using a Modern Warfare 2 (MW2) or Modern Warfare 3 (MW3) sniper or one of the new ones from BO6. Fortunately, all your questions come to an end today, as we'll tell you the absolute best sniper in Warzone in the guide below.

For a sniper to be considered the "best," it needs to be able to one-shot kill enemies in some capacity. If a sniper doesn't possess this ability, it will have an immensely difficult time downing enemies and keeping up with other snipers. A sniper is put into the upper echelon of its class if it can one-shot kill a fully-armored enemy.

With that said, the best sniper that has this ability and features the strongest all-around stats in Warzone is the LR 7.62.

The LR 7.62 has been severely underrated since the launch of Warzone in BO6. While it doesn't feature the best mobility stats, it can be equipped with specific attachments that boost its aim down sight speed to make it much snappier. If you also equip some damage range and bullet velocity attachments, you can make the LR 7.62 one-shot kill a fully armored enemy with a headshot from over 80 meters away. It's vital you hit that headshot to fully take advantage of the sniper's damage profile.

Luckily, the LR 7.62 has terrific accuracy and you can cut down on its aiming idle sway with a simple underbarrel attachment. You want to keep gunfights long distance with the LR 7.62 in most situations, but it's not a terrible option to pull out in a pinch if you need it either.

If you've decided on the LR 7.62 as your sniper of choice in Warzone, here's the loadout we recommend to ensure maximum carnage:

This loadout for the LR 7.62 gives you the 80-meter one-shot kill potential as well as reduces idle sway and boosts mobility all at the same time. It's the best overall sniper and loadout combination you can use in Warzone as of Season 1.
