The best Sniper Rifles in Warzone Caldera revealed.
So the question is: which sniper rifle do you use for that perfect headshot?
This bolt-action sniper really has it all.
The Swiss K31 has great ADS speed, and the highest chest shot damage in the Sniper Rifle category.
There are plenty of viable options, but you cant go wrong with the Swiss K31.
Its closest statistical competitor is really theMW Kar98k, which Warzone classifies as aMarksman rifle.
On Rebirth Island, the Swiss K31 and MW Kar98k should be the only snipers in your loadouts.
Right now, your choice between the three weapons is basically a three-way coin toss.
All of them will perform similarly, and any peripheral advantages are fairly minor.
ZRG 20mm
The ZRG is a hard-hitting bolt-action rifle with the highest bullet velocity in the game.
At extreme distances against moving targes, the ZRG is still one of the top dogs.
Have a look at ourZRG 20mm loadoutand you wont be disappointed.
LW3 - Tundra
The LW3 Tundra is a good Sniper Rifle that doesnt quite top the charts.
Its close enough though that youre rarely going to notice the difference.
Go give ourLW3 Tundra Warzone loadouta look if youre interested!
M82
If you prefer semi-automatic weapons, the M82 is the best choice right now.
Its one of three semi-automatic weapons that can one-shot headshot fully armored players.
This is a running theme for the first iteration of Vanguard snipers; more on that in a bit.
Still, its a great option for Vanguard-restricted modes, where its only competitors are similarly unwieldy bolt-action rifles.
Get set up with ourGorenko Anti-Tank Rifle loadoutguide to take on Caldera.
HDR
Before Cold War, the HDR was the unchallenged king of maximum range sniping.
Its still good in that role, but the ZRG just does the job better.
Still, the HDR will do great at long range.
Never feel bad about opting for an HDR; it’s within striking distance of its superiors.
With our idealHDR loadout, you too can relive the early days of Warzone.
The old Modern Warfare edition is functionally a quick-handling Sniper Rifle but classed as a Marksman Rifle.
The new Vanguard version is classed as a Sniper but functions as a slower, longer-ranged weapon.
It has solid base bullet velocity, but mediocre handling.
This is where the current issues with Vanguard Snipers start to really rear their ugly heads.
These guns arent bad, but there are better options in core Battle Royale modes.
Unfortunately, as close as youll get still isnt very close.

AX-50
The AX-50 offers a smoother and faster ride than its marginally bigger sibling, the HDR.
What niche it used to have has really just been eaten up by competitors at this point.
Pick the AX-50 for the aesthetics, but not for competition.
It has lower body-shot damage, lower bullet velocity, and virtually identical ADS speed.
There just isnt any way you might build the Pellington to beat the Swiss K31 at any role.
Rytec AMR
The Rytec has a fire rate edge over the M82 but otherwise cant keep up.
It has a worse chest damage multiplier, ADS speed, and bullet velocity.
But hey, sometimes you just want to use a big gun with exploding bullets.
Its really more in line with the semi-automatic Marksman Rifles, and those have never been particularly strong.
