First up is theKATT-AMR, a weapon that dominated during theModern Warfare 3era ofWarzone. When it comes to sheer damage and consistent one-shots, the KATT-AMR rises to the top,boasting the highest damage per shotof nearly all Sniper Rifles inWarzone.
However, the KATT-AMR puts almost all its strengths into stopping power, leaving little room for much else. Its default bullet velocity isn’t particularly high compared to other options, and the weapon itselffeels rather slow and clunky.For players looking to pack a solid punch, though, it can be a decent option.

TheVictus XMRmay be a weapon that flies under most people’s radar—and for good reason. The weapon itself may not stand out on the surface and has a set of stats that aresomewhat consistent with many other top contenders.However, there’s a sort of middle ground between the Victus XMR and some of the top contenders in the game.
For instance, the Victus XMR sits behind the KATT-AMR in damage but ahead of two of the top-performingBlack Ops 6Sniper Rifles in the same category. The weapon alsohas a great sprint-to-fire speedcompared to other options but falls behind a few when it comes to bullet velocity.

Next up istheLW3A1 Frostline, a rather prominent Sniper Rifle on the battlefield, especially in Resurgence playlists. The LW3A1 Frostline is the go-to choice for players who want a fast option, as itboasts a quick aim-down-sight speedalong withexcellent sprint-to-fire speed.
In terms of damage, the LW3A1 Frostline is still great but falls behind severalModern Warfare 2and3-era weapons still available inWarzone. However, its bullet velocity is unparalleled, sitting far above most other options. For players looking for an excellent quick-scoping option, the LW3A1 Frostline may just be the best rifle yet.

On the surface,theLR 7.62looks identical to the LW3A1 Frostline, sporting the same damage profile for the most part but ranking behind it in overall speed and handling. However, factor in the weapon’ssuperior damage range, and players will find that the LR 7.62 is a whole other beast.
This Sniper Rifle boasts aneffective damage range of 68.6 meters, compared to the LW3A1’s 58.4 meters. This makes the LR 7.62 much better from afar, providingmore consistent two-shot and one-shot kills—making up for the trade-off in speed. While it still isn’t the highest-ranking rifle in overall damage, it’s pretty close, making it a formidable option on the battlefield.
