Best HDR loadout in Warzone and Black Ops 6

The best HDR loadout in Warzone and Black Ops 6 is a force to be reckoned with. With Season 3, the iconic Sniper Rifle from the original Verdanks has finally made a comeback. Boasting an infinite one-shot range, the HDR is currently one of the best Sniper Rifles in Warzone and BO6. Needless to say, it should be the go-to pick for sniping enthusiasts who love to one-tap their targets.

That said, the weapon is not perfect. Being a heavy-hitter, it is on the slower end when it comes to handling and mobility stats. Fortunately, these can be mitigated to an extent by using the right attachments.

Hence, in this guide, we'll take a closer look at the best HDR loadout in Warzone and Black Ops 6 to help you get the most out of the gun.

Best HDR loadout in Warzone

To set up the best HDR loadout in Warzone, we recommend using the following attachments:

Barrel: Gain Twist Barrel
Underbarrel: Lightweight Bipod
Magazine: Fast Mag
Stock: Heavy Stock
Fire Mods: Rapid Fire

Here's how these attachments help you set up the best HDR loadout in Warzone:

The Gain Twist Barrel drastically increases the bullet velocity of the rifle from just 648 m/s to 900 m/s, which is an improvement of nearly 40%. This helps cover the distance between you and your targets almost instantly. Since the weapon already has a decent damage range, we don't need the Reinforced Barrel or Long Barrel in this case, and the Gain Twist Barrel becomes the ideal pick for the HDR.

The Lightweight Bipod helps reduce aiming idle sway by a huge margin. This will make you more accurate when aiming down the sights. It will come into play when you are aiming at targets that are far away.

The Fast Mag gives a boost to the handling stats without affecting the bullet count. It increases the aim-down-sight speed, sprint-to-fire speed, and also boosts reload speeds. You certainly won't need COD's quick scoping mech with this heavy hitter, but it helps a lot to improve the handling attributes.

The Heavy Stock drastically improves flinch resistance. This means that if you are aiming down the sights to shoot at someone and they hit you back, your aim won't be thrown off. This will allow you to maintain your sights and aim at the target.

Lastly, we have the Rapid Fire Mod, which increases the rate of fire. But the most important aspect of this mod is that it increases the rechamber speed and this allows you to fire follow-up shots quickly. So, even if you miss a bullet, you can get back at them quickly with the next hit without going through a painstakingly slow rechambering animation.

Best HDR loadout in Black Ops 6

To build the best HDR loadout in Black Ops 6, the attachments will mostly be the same; there are a few changes, though. Here's what we recommend:

Barrel: Gain Twist Barrel
Magazine: Fast Mag
Rear Grip: Quickdraw Grip
Stock: Heavy Stock
Laser: Strelok Laser

All these attachments come together to optimize the best HDR loadout for maps of Black Ops 6, which are much smaller than that of Warzone. Hence, it is optimized for better handling stats. Here's how these attachments improve the Sniper Rifle in the game:

The Gain Twist Barrel, as mentioned earlier, will help improve the bullet velocitydrastically. Its effects will be much more evident on bigger maps in Multiplayer. On smaller maps such as Nuketown, the difference will be negligible.

The Fast Mag enhances the handling attributes. It boosts the rifle's reload speed, enabling you to get back into a fight quickly. Moreover, it increases the aim-down-sight and the sprint-to-fire speed.

The Quickdraw Grip drastically improves the aim-down-sight speed. This allows you to get into a fight quickly and play aggressively. We didn't recommend using it in Warzone as it is much slower compared to Multiplayer. The latter is way more fast-paced, demanding players to be constantly on the move.

The Heavy Stock improves flinch resistance. As mentioned earlier, this allows you to keep your aim on a target even when you are getting shot at. This doesn't throw off your aim by much and enables you to maintain your accuracy even during the heat of a gunfight.

Finally, the Strelok Laser improves your hipfire to ADS accuracy. This essentially allows you to be more accurate when aiming down the sights, especially when you are on the move and have to quickly take out a target. This momentarily puts it into the quick scoping territory.
