Nickmercs and the SP-R 208

Nickmercs immediately shows off of the power of the new SP-R 208 in COD: Warzone with a quick two shot down. The first shot cracks the enemy's armor and the second puts him in a downed state as he tries to flee. Immediately after, he downs another player with a swift headshot.

Further in the video, Nickmercs continues wreaking havoc with the Darkwood SP-R 208. Shot after shot connects, and he continues to rack up eliminations. He was definitely not lying about the weapon's quickness and deadliness.

Nickmercs showcases the boosts provided by the Darkwood blueprint as well. The pinpoint accuracy is highlighted from a variety of ranges. Whether used from just down the street, or hundred plus meters away, shots with this weapon just don't seem to miss. The SP-R 208 may very well be the best sniper rifle in COD: Warzone right now.
