Snipers in battle royales are interesting because you can keep enemies at bay, fight aggressively, and if you’re good with them, get a high kill count. While they do have a high skill ceiling, they’ve become a staple in battle royales. This is evident in Call of Duty: Warzone 2. These weapons pack a deadly punch, but you must have quick reflexes in order to utilize their qualities. Call of Duty: Warzone 2 takes things a step further by having some sniper’s one-shot-one-kill. This can make things even more chaotic, especially if you’re on the receiving end of the barrel. If you’re one of those players who pick these types of weapons, read this guide on the best one-shot sniper builds for Call of Duty Warzone 2 season 3.
Call of Duty: Warzone 2: the best one-shot sniper builds in season 3
Victus XMR
- Muzzle – Bruen Counter-Ops
- Barrel – Mack 8 33.5 Super
- Laser – VLK LZR 7MW
- Stock – XRK Rise 50
- Ammo – .50 Cal Explosion
The Victus XMR is a great one-shot sniper build to start off with because it’s somewhat balanced. Albeit there are better builds with better handling in the game but for earning early on, the XMR will get the job done. This build is for anyone, not just snipers, so if you want to get into that playstyle, this build can help you adjust effortlessly. On the other side, it has a rather slow shooting speed, if you run with this build make sure you find another side arm before engaging. Because loudouts have changed in Warzone 2.0, you must find a second weapon in the field.
FJX Imperium
- Muzzle – Nilsound 90
- Barrel – Fahrenheit 29”
- Laser – VLK LZR 7MW
- Ammo – .408 Explosive
- Bolt – FJX Blast
Snipers are heavy weapons, and that means when you shoot the recoil will be something to think about as well. If you miss your shot — it’s worse. For this build, you don’t need to worry about that as much. However, if your shot fails to connect, you can readjust quicker if you use this build. But acquiring this weapon comes with some cost. As mentioned, this build does wonders to help the handling, on the other hand, if you’re new to snipers you may have a hard time using it. Contrarily, after you’ve learned the meta of snipers in Warzone 2, this weapon makes things almost night and day.

MCPR – 300
- Muzzle – Nilsound 90
- Barrel – 22” OMX-456
- Laser – FSS OLE-V Laser
- Ammo – .300 Mag Explosion
- Bolt – Cronen Smooth Bolt
One of the higher-tiered snipers you can get in the whole of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and for good reason. With its high handling and borderline-deadly accuracy, you can easily and fluidly down enemies. Adding the high velocity of the bullets could make you the ultimate threat on the field. It’s a strangely balanced sniper and could make you fight more aggressively if you choose to go that route. This build enhances many of the overpowered aspects of the sniper, from its speed to the damage increasing, you may see a lot of firefights go your way.
