Sniping in Warzone has always been an integral part of Call of Duty’s battle royale, but not all of the game’s sniper rifles are worth your time. This is why we want you to know about the best one-shot snipers to use in Warzone Season 4.

Back in the original Warzone, sniping was incredibly strong with powerhouses like the Kar98k and 3-Line Rifle running the show. Its sequel heavily nerfed snipers leaving them in a rough spot and out of Warzone’s meta.

However, the arrival of Urzikstan saw snipers gain popularity once again with there being several one-shot options that are worth using. This is continuing in Warzone Season 4 where multiple snipers are absolutely meta.

With the return of the Kar98k in this new update, there are now seven weapons that are capable of hitting a killing blow in one shot, as well as offering great mobility, accuracy, and a decently quick rate of fire.

Best Warzone One-Shot Sniper Rifles in Season 4

7. Victus XMR

Victus XMR previewed in Call of Duty: Warzone.

Best Victus XMR Warzone Loadout

  • Muzzle: Sonic Suppressor XL
  • Optic: SP-X 80 6.6X
  • Barrel: Mack 8 33.5 Super
  • Ammunition: .50 Cal Explosive
  • Rear Grip: Bruen Q900 Grip

The Victus XMR is a decent choice thanks to its above-average ADS speed and bullet velocity. It does struggle when used beyond 150 meters but is still a good option for sniping more aggressively. Just be sure to keep gunfights at close to medium range or be prepared to see nothing but hitmarkers.

6. FJX Imperium

FJX Imperium previewed in Call of Duty: Warzone.

Best FJX Imperium Warzone Loadout

  • Muzzle: Sonic Suppressor L
  • Barrel: Fahrenheit 29″
  • Optic: Heinrichter Hybrid Scope
  • Ammunition: .408 Explosive
  • Bolt: FJX Blast

While this loadout is going to give a hit to the bullet velocity of each shot thanks to its explosive rounds, that is made up for with the excellent damage it does when your shots land. Which is going to be easier with its versatile scope to allow it to be effective in multiple ranges.

5. Kar98k

  • Muzzle: Sonic Suppressor L
  • Barrel: Fahrenheit 29″
  • Laser: VLK LZR 7MW
  • Ammunition: .408 Explosive
  • Bolt: FJX Blast

The Kar98k is back, and it operates very similarly to the FJX Imperium, however, it is a fan-favorite for a reason. It comes with a great ADS Speed, while also delivering massive damage with each shot. With its return to Warzone, expect the Kar98k to climb the ranking of everyone’s favorite Season 4 weapons.

4. MCPR-300

MCPR-300 previewed in Call of Duty: Warzone.

Best MCPR-300 Warzone Loadout

  • Muzzle: Sonic Suppressor L
  • Optic: Heinrichter Hybrid Scope
  • Barrel: 22″ OMX-456
  • Ammunition: .300 Mag Explosive
  • Magazine: 5 Round Magazine

The MCPR-300 remains one of the best snipers in the game, and that’s largely due to its bullet velocity and damage, which this loadout aims to improve. Tack on the explosive ammo with it, and your shots can become a wrecking ball of pain for your enemies.

3. XRK Stalker

XRK Stalker previewed in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3.

Best XRK Stalker Warzone Loadout

  • Muzzle: Sonic Suppressor XL
  • Barrel: Fission 60 Barrel
  • Optic: Heinrichter Hybrid Scope
  • Ammunition: .50 Cal High Grain Rounds
  • Bolt: XRK Stalker Light Bolt

The XRK Stalker has been able to one-shot down enemies since Season 2, and that is continuing in Season 4. This sniper is much faster than its competitors making it by far the best option for more aggressive sniper players. The only catch is that its maximum one-shot range is capped at around 70 meters. But even with this hit to its range, the XRK Stalker is an excellent weapon and one of the best one-shot weapons available.

2. KATT-AMR

Best KATT-AMR Warzone Loadout

  • Muzzle: Sonic Suppressor XL
  • Barrel: Zang-34 Barrel
  • Bolt: Ephemeral Quickbolt
  • Optic Heinrichter Hybrid Scope
  • Ammunition: .50 Cal High Velocity

Introduced with the MW3 integration, the KATT-AMR is the only Sniper Rifle capable of one-shot kills at any range. it boasts incredible damage, great ADS speed, and solid bullet velocity. However, it does come with some tough recoil control and a slightly decreased damage range, but it is absolutely worth it for its insane power when its shots land.

1. MORS

MORS Sniper Rifle from MW3 and Warzone Season 3.

Best MORS Warzone Loadout

  • Barrel: Tonne Heavy Barrel
  • Laser: SL Razorhawk Laser Light
  • Stock: Icarus Light Stock
  • Ammunition: HVP Anti-Materiel Slug
  • Bolt: Quick Bolt

It’s only natural that a railgun would be capable of one-shot downs, and the MORS doesn’t disappoint. It can nail an opponent from a distance and comes with a solid rate of fire thanks to the Quick Bolt. Its rate of fire may not be the highest, but if you can land a shot, it’s game over for the target. Plain and simple as that.

Warzone Season 4 is bringing a lot of new changes, and you will want to know the best loadouts to use, how the Assault Rifle rankings have changed, and which SMGs are going to be your best bet to win.
