Warzone 2 gunsmith recommendation: Top 5 long-range loadouts to use in Season 1 Reloaded

Activision launched Call of Duty: Warzone 2 in mid-November, a few weeks after Modern Warfare 2 was released. The latest battle royale title features a massive map with varying geography that allows for both short and long-range gunfights.

The introduction of an advanced gunsmith platform has allowed players to experiment and modify weapons for different scenarios. However, some classes were made for long-range engagements as they have great base stats for damage range and damage fall-off. Most of these generally belong to the Light Machine Gun, Sniper Rifle, or Marksman Rifle classes.

Here are the five best weapons that players can opt for in long-range gunfights in Warzone 2.

5 best weapon choices to win long-range fights in Warzone 2

Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2 both share a common arsenal of weapons that is contained within a total of 10 weapon classes. The developers try to level the playing field by introducing balance changes that result in a meta-shift. The most powerful guns then take the spotlight as the lobby rallies to utilize the newly buffed selections.

The flexibility of Activision’s latest battle royale title provides a realistic combat experience to the playerbase. But the strength of a weapon at long range is determined by its innate ability or base stats, which result in more accurate shots in that range with the least bullet-drop.
