Warzone: Sniper loadout - weapons, tactical gear, perks Warzone guide, tips

Last update: 15 March 2021

In this chapter of our guide, we present the sniper loadout in Call of Duty Warzone, which can be used in any gameplay mode.

The sniper equipment set is dedicated primarily to those players who prefer a calm and methodical gameplay that consists in taking the right shooting spot and patiently waiting for their victim. This set includes, of course, a sniper rifle and a weapon for close/mid range combat.

A sniper set is also a good option during the final phase of the game, when many players are lurking in hiding spots (and waiting for other players to come out). In such a situation you can call the loadout drop and replace the existing weaponry variant with a better firearm for the final phase of the game.

HDR

HDR is without doubt the best sniper rifle available in Call of Duty Warzone. By using this weapon, you can fire one accurate shot at enemy's head to eliminate him from a great distance. What's more, HDR has good accuracy. Remember that if you decide to use a sniper rifle, you must take the right position - preferably on the roof of a building or top of a hill.

Recommended modifications for HDR sniper rifle:

1. Monolithic Suppressor - greatly increases weapon range;
2. 26.9" HDR Pro - increases weapon's range and accuracy;
3. VLK 3.0x Optic - a scope with high zoom that further increases ADS speed. What is very important, this sight does not cause any glare so you will not reveal your position when, for example, you are searching the area in order to find a potential target;
4. FTAC Stalker-Scout - increases ADS;
5. Presence of Mind - this allows you to hold your breath for a long time. Therefore, this ability will allow you to make a very precise shot.

M4A1

The secondary weapon in the presented equipment set is the M4A1 assault rifle. The M4A1 is an extremely well-balanced weapon that deals very high damage and is easy to use. The M4A1 assault rifle can be used in any situation - during an assault on an enemy position, as well as at long distances.

Recommended weapon modifications for M4A1:

1. Stock M16 Grenadier - increases weapon damage and stability;
2. Integral Hybrid - increases the weapon's range;
3. Forge TAC CQS - increases ADS;
4. Merc Foregrip - increases accuracy and reduces gun recoil;
5. Stippled Grip Tape - increases ADS.

Tactical gear

Tactical gear is the additional equipment that you can take to the battlefield. The available options include a smoke grenade, which will be useful as a curtain cover in case of evacuation, and a Heartbeat Sensor.

1. Smoke Grenade - a smoke screen can be useful when you need to evacuate from an occupied position, for example, when your opponent notices you. The smokescreen also comes in handy when you have to pick up a fallen companion;
2. Heartbeat Sensor - if you do not want to use STIM then you can take a heartbeat detector. With this device you will be able to check if there is an opponent lurking nearby.

Perks

The perks presented in this section were selected in order to increase the battle capabilities of your hero and provide a higher chance of surprising your opponent. Of course, you can change them in any way if you prefer to use other available skills.

1. Cold Blooded - when sniping, your biggest advantage is the element of surprise and the ability to shoot at an unaware enemy. Cold Blooded - hides the player from thermal scopes but you may still be detected by a drone;
2. Overkill - this will allow you to carry two main weapons;
3. Amped - allows you to change weapons much faster so you can switch from sniper rifle to M4A1 if the opponent appears near you.
