Let's start with the best sniper and sniper rifles at the start of Warzone Season 5.
S-level:
- kar98k

- HDR
The Kar98k sniper rifle stands out as the best for those aggressive and fast-paced antics, while the K31 Swiss has seen a surge in popularity, being one of three meta weapons in Warzone Season 5 in terms of combat. long distance.
Going up a few tiers, HDR barely makes it into the S-Tier, as a hard-hitting Modern Warfare-era sniper that's been increasingly spotted in the meta.
Level A:
- Tundra LW3
- ZRG 20mm
- SP-R 208
While still considered one of the best hybrid sniper rifles in Warzone Season 5, the SP-R 208 drops down to Tier A. The 20mm ZRG is a traditional, solid sniper rifle from Warzone Season 5, ideal for long range engagements.
Level B:
- AX-50
- M82
- Pelington 703
The AX-50 can make a big impact in Verdansk and is close to A-Tier rating. Find the best gear to suit your needs and these sniper/sniper rifles can get the job done.
C-level:
- EBR-14
- credits
- carbine mk2
Those C-Tier weapons on our Warzone Season 5 sniper tier list aren't that great. When paired with an SMG or AR simply as a secondary option, they can still come in handy in certain situations.
Level D:
- Rytec AMR
- Dragunov
- Shadowhunter R1
- Crossbow
Despite some great names like Dragunov and R1 Shadowhunter, these are the trash-level sniper and sniper rifles at the start of Warzone Season 5. You'd be much better off with one of the other 12 on the list, and only use them when you need some sort of challenge.
