Season 2: Consistent Preference for Signal 50

As Season 2 rolled around, we saw no major shifts in the sniping meta. The Signal 50 held on to its throne, continuing to outperform other sniper rifles. The season's changes didn't have a significant impact on its dominance, illustrating the gun's adaptability and overall effectiveness.

Season 3: Explosive Changes

With Season 3 came the introduction of explosive ammunition, which fundamentally changed the sniping landscape. Suddenly, the MCPR-300, FJX Imperium, and Victus XMR gained the ability to one-shot enemies. Out of these, the MCPR-300 rose to prominence, seizing the crown from Signal 50. The explosive ammunition's high damage output, combined with the MCPR-300's solid overall stats, turned it into the go-to sniper rifle for many.

Season 4: MCPR-300 and SP-X 80 Take The Lead

In the current Season 4, the MCPR-300 maintains its position at the top in Warzone's vast battlegrounds. Its lethal one-shot potential combined with the explosive ammunition remains an attractive option for players who prefer long-range engagements. However, in the smaller, more confined map of Ashika Island, the SP-X 80 emerges as the preferred sniper rifle. With its faster ADS time and one-shot kill capacity up to 46m, it offers an aggressive yet effective approach to sniping.
