Top 3 Marksman Rifles loadouts in Warzone Season 1 Reloaded

3) DM56

The DM56 has secured its position as one of the best marksman rifles in Warzone due to its exceptional comfort and high damage output. The weapon has showcased versatility, delivering outstanding results at both mid and long ranges in the game. Players can benefit from its excellent rate of fire and remarkably smooth handling.

Here is the best DM56 loadout in Warzone:

  • Muzzle - Shadowstrike Suppressor
  • Optics - Mk.3 Reflector / Corio Eagleseye 2.5x
  • Stock - Holger Recoil Pad
  • Underbarrel - DR-6 Handstop
  • Magazine - 40 Round Mag

The Shadowstrike Suppressor plays an important role in keeping players from being detected on the tac-map while firing. For optics, the Mk.3 Reflector is suggested as a clean red-dot sight providing an unobstructed view during aiming down sight (ADS).

The Holger Recoil Pad reduces the minimal recoil of the gun, allowing for more accurate long-range shots. The DR-6 Handstop improves strafing ability, ADS speed, sprint-to-fire speed, and overall movement speed.


2) MCW 6.8

The MCW 6.8 is an all-around marksman rifle known for its reliable damage output and versatility. It's a top choice for engagements ranging from close-quarters to long-range combat. If you want to get your hands on a powerful marksman rifle with impressive damage range and control, this weapon is the way to go.

Here's a recommended loadout for MCW 6.8:

  • Muzzle: Shred CP90
  • Optic: Nydar Model 2023
  • Underbarrel: Kimura RYN-03 Vertical Grip
  • Ammunition: 6.8 Wraith High Grain
  • Magazine: 30 Round Mag

The Shred CP90 muzzle attachment is included to enhance both vertical and horizontal recoil control while the Kimura RYN-03 Vertical Grip underbarrel is chosen to improve gun kick control, aiming idle sway, and firing aim stability.

Completing the loadout is the 6.8 Wraith High Grain ammunition to increase bullet velocity and damage range, contributing to improved performance in mid-range engagements.

The MTZ Interceptor is undoubtedly the best among the marksman rifles in Warzone in Season 1 Reloaded. The recent nerfs have not stopped it from being a powerful weapon in the game.

The gun's superior stats and the right attachments allow players to excel with its top-notch performance. It has everything you need in a marksman rifle: excellent range, superior firepower, and smooth handling.

Try this loadout to further improve its performance:

  • Muzzle: VT-7 Spiritfire Suppressor L
  • Barrel: MTZ Blackthorn Barrel
  • Optic: Ares Clear Shot
  • Underbarrel: Bruen Heavy Support Grip
  • Magazine: 20 Round Mag

The VT-7 Spiritfire Suppressor L is equipped to enhance recoil control, bullet velocity, and damage range, all while suppressing gunshots to avoid detection on the enemy radar.

Complementing this is the TZ Blackthorn Barrel, which further extends damage range, increases bullet velocity, and improves aiming idle stability. Additionally, the loadout incorporates the Bruen Heavy Support Grip, which helps control gun kick, aiming idle sway, horizontal recoil, and firing aim stability.
