Best loadout for Sniper playstyle in Warzone 2 Season 5 Reloaded

Call of Duty Warzone 2 recently received the Season 5 Reloaded update with several weapon adjustments. The player base can finally utilize one-shot snipers due to the presence of explosive ammunition. However, all sniper rifles are not equal, and only a handful can cater to this role. The FJX Imperium is currently the fan-favorite weapon for this role and is usually paired with a strong close-range weapon.

Warzone 2 is a tactical shooter at its core and has a steep learning curve for snipers. Building a one-shot sniper and creating a new class is not enough, as the player base also needs to pour in hours to perfect their shots. One of the most crucial parts of creating such a loadout is the selection of a secondary weapon that can help players maintain their style.

This article will highlight the best loadout for Snipers in Warzone 2 Season 5 Reloaded.
