5. HDR (MW)
Taking it back to the days of Verdansk, we have an HDR build by Rallied. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.
Attach the Tac Laser for a quicker ADS. This is much needed for the sniper due to the weight of it. The Tac Laser and Sleight of Hand perk increases faster gameplay for the HDR.
The FTAC Champion stock gives you increased stability when ADS. You won’t need to hold your breath as the stability is easy to control for on-the-fly shooting.
Of course, the classic monolithic suppressor keeps you off the map and increases damage and bullet velocity. With the 26.9” HDR Pro barrel, you’ll have damage and bullet velocity maxed for this sniper.
If you want a great callback to the early days, this sniper will bring nostalgia to your sticks. The classic HDR is on this list for that reason alone – never forget.

4. Swiss (CW)
The Tac Laser and Serpent Grip gives you zippy movement and ADS for quick-scoping agility. For all of you runner-gunner’s out there, the Swiss pairs nicely with your favorite SMG or AR.
The GRU suppressor and 24.6” Combat Recon barrel gives you bullet velocity for damage at a distance. So, no matter where your targets are on the map, you can rest assured your bullets will knock them down at any range. Headshot damage is increased for those one-hit downs.
Again, the Swiss is a simple rifle designed for damage and speed. This is what puts it in the top 5 snipers of Warzone. The Swiss is easily one of the most fun Cold War rifles to use, and for good reason.
Swiss Rifle:
- Muzzle: GRU Suppressor
- Barrel: 24.6” Combat Recon
- Laser: SWAT 5mm Laser Sight
- Magazine: 7 rnd

3. LW3 Tundra (CW)
The Tundra makes the list as an all-encompassing sniper rifle. This build by Metaphor is for those who love to snipe but may not be the greatest at hitting headshots. It has great damage to the torso, which is useful if you’re missing headshots.
The Elastic Wrap and SWAT 5mw Laser Sight gives control and accuracy when ADS that’ll help line up your target.
The 29.1” Combat Recon barrel gives you long distance range with increased bullet velocity that will give you the confidence to engage with an enemy at any distance. Attach the Wrapped Suppressor to stay off the mini map.
This build is great for anyone who loves sniping. The shots are smooth. The scope is clear. The overall feel of the gun is comfortable. It’s slightly heavier but isn’t drastic enough to consider it a slow-moving weapon.
LW3 Tundra:
- Muzzle: Wrapped Suppressor
- Barrel: 29.1” Combat Recon
- Laser: SWAT 5mw Laser Sight
- Magazine: 7 Round Mag
- Rear Grip: Airborne Elastic Wrap
2. 3-Line Rifle (VG)
For aggressive sniping and one-shot downs, the 3-Line Rifle by washyourhands caters to fast gameplay.
The Variable 4-8x and the Leather Grip help with visual aim sway to keep your aim focused.
Mark VI Skeletal boosts ADS for quick shots when you’re in the thick of battle.
Make sure to run the 20 Round Mag. This will reduce your need to reload, giving you more time to focus your attention on eliminating your targets. When you eventually need to reload, the On-Hand perk gives you a fast reload option to keep you in the fight.
The range of the 3-Line is something you’ll want to keep in mind. It’s not great at ultra-long distances, but keep it in its wheelhouse and you’ll find yourself downing players within one or two shots.
For a Vanguard rifle, the 3-Line is fun and easy to use!

The KAR98K has and always will be a top tier rifle. Here's the ultimate build brought to you by kunjTV. From day one, this rifle has sent enemies to the gulag with no remose. The gun design is beautiful, and the mechanics are exceptionally reliable.

The Sport Comb stock increased mobility and ADS for quick movements around the map.
Overall, the KAR98K will always be a top rifle in your arsenal. It’s a crowd favorite – it’s easy to use, quick, clean sights (sniper scope), and well-balanced.
