Taking the second spot in 'A Tier,' is the FJX Imperium, a classic sniper rifle beloved by many since MW2 2009. The FJX Imperium carries a powerful punch and is counted amongst the few sniper rifles capable of downing opponents with a single shot.

The Signal 50 sniper rifle takes the third spot in our 'A Tier' ranking. What sets the Signal 50 apart is its semi-automatic firing capability, allowing for rapid bullet fire compared to regular sniper rifles. However, its relatively slow ADS speed and bullet velocity can detract from its overall performance. But if you thrive in mid to long-range combat and value a higher rate of fire, this rifle could be your trusty Warzone companion.

Mirroring properties like high bullet velocity and low bullet drop as the top-rated MCPR-300, it stands strong in long-range combat scenarios. Its decent ADS speed also comes in handy during close confrontations. If you're seeking a balance of precision and flexibility, the Victus XMR won't disappoint.

Our number six is also from the 'B Tier' - the SP-X 80 bolt-action sniper rifle. It boasts of high bullet velocity and offers good mobility and ADS speed. However, it doesn't top the list due to its difficulty in tracking targets at ultra-long ranges. If you're an aggressive player who likes to keep things mobile, this is your rifle.

Closing the list on a 'D Tier' - the lowest category in this ranking - is the LA-B 330 sniper rifle. Similar to the SP-X 80, it offers high bullet velocity, good mobility and ADS speed. However, it ranks lower due to its reduced effectiveness in far-reaching bouts. It's a gun that challenges the players to bring out their finest skills.
