Warzone Sniper tier list - every Sniper and Marksmen Rifle ranked from best to worst for Season 2

Since the dawn of competitive first-person shooters, there was always some kind of special love for sniper rifles and that goes for Warzone as well.

That satisfying feeling of one-shotting people from a distance, while they are helpless and unaware, gives you a sense of dominance and control over the playing field like no other weapon can.

With Warzone Season 2 finally being here, sniper rifles might just be the best Class in the game during the experimental phase of the season, while everyone is still trying to figure out which guns are the best and which Class Setups give the best results.

Our general opinion about sniper rifles in Season 2 is that no matter which type of sniper you prefer, there might be something for everyone in Season 2 and practically any sniper rifle can be viable in some sense, but some are undeniably stronger than the others.

Warzone Sniper Rifle tier list 

For the purpose of this tier list, we have combined both categories together to rank the best Sniper/Marksmen Rifles in Warzone.

The rankings include all Snipers and Marksmen Rifles from Black Ops Cold War and Modern Warfare.

Description of the tiers

We have opted for a standard five-tier system, S to D.

S-Tier: The absolute best Snipers in Warzone

A-Tier: The correct loadout will help this Rifle compete with the best.

B-Tier: In the right hands or in certain scenarios this Sniper Rifle is very capable.

C-Tier: A personality pick, maybe you feel confident with it, or you run a loadout that is perfect but ultimately this gun will leave you wanting compared to others higher up the list.

D-Tier: Garbage tier - don't waste your time.

Remember tier lists are not an exact science. Many factors should be taken into consideration when deciding which weapon is which tier and personal preferences and playstyle can have a big influence.
