Warzone Season 6 Sniper Rifle Tier List

Warzone Season 6 sniper rifle tier list is here to help you maximize your loadouts in Verdansk.

Season 6 of Call of Duty: Warzone has just recently gone live. Amongst the notable changes for the new season are map edits, like the addition of the new Subway Stations. Activision has also announced The Haunting, which will be a seasonal event, the first of Modern Warfare, starting Oct. 20.

Now that the sixth season is here, it's worth reviewing the weapons tiers list to note any important changes. The sniper rifle tier list doesn't have much change, likely due to the map still being well-suited for long-range kills. So let's take a look at the top sniper rifles in Verdansk for Season 6.

S-Tier

HDR

Still the king of Warzone sniper rifles, and until a nerf comes along this is going to be status quo. It's not the fastest to reload or fastest to fire, but it hits the hardest, which is still the most important aspect of sniping. Being able to kill an opponent with one headshot is paramount for sniper rifles, and the HDR delivers. What separates this from the AX-50, which has the same damage profile, is that the HDR can be equipped with the 26.9'' HDR Pro Barrel. This will limit bullet-drop at the longest of ranges.

A-Tier

SP-R 208

The newest sniper rifle in Modern Warfare brings a nice flavor to the game. It's powerful and has massive range, but it also has a slow rate of fire, and a small magazine.

AX-50

The AX-50 is faster to reload and fire than a similar HDR, which makes it a more forgiving, user-friendly sniper rifle. However, the AX-50 suffers from bullet-drop at long ranges and does not have the attachments to offset the problem.

B-Tier

Rytec AMR

The AMR offers a different take on the sniper rifle. As its title suggests, it's an 'Anti-Material Rifle' meant for exploding vehicles and objects alike, boasting explosive thermite round attachments. In terms of operating as a traditional sniper rifle, it's a noticeable step below its contemporaries. The explosive rounds reduce bullet velocity, making it harder to be accurate at long ranges. Read the room before selecting the Rytec AMR.

Dragunov

The high health thresholds of Warzone make the Dragunov a nonfactor in Verdansk. It has an incredible fire rate, but its damage profile is nothing to write home about. It simply doesn't operate well in the categories which you need from your sniper rifle.
