Best Warzone One-Shot Sniper Rifle loadouts: Attachments & builds ranked

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. Here are the best one-shot Sniper Rifles loadouts to use in Warzone Season 3 Reloaded.

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 has continued into Season 3 Reloaded where multiple snipers are absolute meta.

There are currently six different snipers capable of downing enemies in a single shot and this is how they rank based on damage range, ease of use, and handling speed.

Best Warzone One-Shot Sniper Rifles in Season 3 Reloaded

6. FJX Imperium

Activision

Best FJX Imperium Warzone Loadout

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

While the Intervention may be as stylish as it is iconic, this reimagination of the anti-materiel rifle isn’t all that great. It has a slightly lower bullet velocity than the other one-shot MW2 sniper rifles yet doesn’t excel elsewhere. It’s not a terrible choice but there’s little reason to use the FJX Imperium over every other gun on this list.

5. Victus XMR

Activision

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.

4. MCPR-300

Activision

Best MCPR-300 Warzone Loadout

• Barrel: 22″ OMX-456
• Optic: KR Intlas LSJ-3
• Barrel: 22″ OMX-456
• Ammunition: .300 Mag Explosive
• Magazine: 5 Round Mag

COD’s latest rendition of the ever-popular Barrett is the best MW2 Sniper Rifle to use in Warzone. The MCPR-300 is effectively a better Victus XMR offering comparable bullet velocity but noticeably better ADS speed. It is a strong choice for aggressive sniping and can be lethal in the hands of a skilled player.

3. KATT-AMR

Activision

Best KATT-AMR Warzone Loadout

• Muzzle: XRK Nightfall Suppressor XL
• Barrel: Zang-34 Barrel
• Bolt: Ephemeral Quickbolt
• Stock: Tactical Stock Pad
• 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. Furthermore, it can do so without having to use a special ammunition type giving it the best bullet velocity. However, newer seasons have introduced alternatives that beat it out thanks to their faster handling and mobility.

2. XRK Stalker

Activision

Best XRK Stalker Warzone Loadout

• Muzzle: Sonic Suppressor XL
• Barrel: Fission 60 Barrel
• Laser: Corio LAZ-44 V3
• 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. 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. Furthermore, nerfs in Season 3 Reloaded lowered its bullet velocity making it harder to use. Even so, it’s still an excellent weapon.

1. MORS

Activision

Best MORS Warzone Loadout

• Barrel: Tonne Heavy Barrel
• Laser: SL Razorhawk Laser Light
• Stock: Superlite-90 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 doesn’t have the damage range of the KATT-AMR or the handling of the XRK Stalker, but this futuristic weapon provides a nice middle ground for those wanting the most well-rounded sniper possible. It was nerfed in Season 3 Reloaded but remains the best sniper in Warzone thanks to its incredible stats.
