It doesn’t have great ADS speed and the bullet velocity sits somewhere between the quicker bolt-actions and heftier long-range behemoths like the ZRG and HDR, but semi-auto fire makes this weapon a lot more forgiving within its effective range. It’s one of only two semi-automatic weapons that can one-shot headshot fully armored players. If you prefer semi-automatic weapons, the M82 is the best choice right now. Go give our LW3 Tundra Warzone loadout a look if you’re interested! Being very similar to other good weapons isn’t a bad thing though the LW3 won’t hold you back if it’s your Sniper Rifle of choice. It’s close enough that you’re rarely going to notice the difference. It has bullet velocity on par with the HDR with much snappier ADS speed, but it's still not enough to distinguish it from the ZRG. The LW3 Tundra is a good Sniper Rifle that doesn’t really stand out. Have a look at our ZRG 20mm loadout and you won’t be disappointed. At extreme distances against moving targes, the ZRG is unbeatable. It's going to take much longer to snap to targets than a Swiss K31, but your shots will reach their destination twice as fast. You still won’t want to get caught up close with a ZRG out, but it’s the best sniper rifle at long distances where bullet velocity really matters. It also has better ADS speed, rate of fire, and chest damage than the old velocity king, the HDR. The ZRG is a hard-hitting bolt-action rifle with the highest bullet velocity in the game. If you want to take over the game with a bolt-action, check out our guide to the best Swiss K31 loadout. On Rebirth Island, the Swiss K31 and Kar98k should be the only snipers in your loadouts. If you enjoy posting up on rooftops and mountains with boundless sightlines there are better choices, but for general use in the unpredictable landscape of Battle Royale, the Swiss K31 is the best Sniper Rifle in Warzone. Relative to other true Sniper Rifles the K31 has lower bullet velocity, but it’s not something you’ll feel outside of extreme distances. The Kar98k has much faster ADS speed, but the Swiss K31 hits harder to the chest, making it a touch more forgiving. Its closest statistical competitor is really the Kar98k, which Warzone classifies as a Marksman rifle. The Swiss K31 is unparalleled at mid-range sniping. There are plenty of viable options, but you can’t go wrong with the Swiss K31.

The Swiss K31 has great ADS speed, and the highest chest shot damage in the Sniper Rifle category. This bolt-action sniper really has it all.

Currently, the best sniper rifle in Warzone is the Swiss K31.
