It is fairly common for a new patch in Call of Duty Warzone to unknowingly bring overpowered glitches or bugs to certain weapons. The Season 4 Reloaded patch is no different, as it has caused the Type 99 Sniper Rifle to one-shot its opponents even to the chest.

This Type 99 glitch in Call of Duty Warzone was there before, but it was eventually mitigated by the developers. However, after the latest update, the bug has again come back, and the players can down their opponents with a single bullet to both head and chest.

IceManIssac is a very well-known name in the Warzone community for his Twitch streaming and YouTube videos. In a recent YouTube meta guide, he demonstrated how overpowered the Type 99 is in two matches and told users to enjoy it before it gets eventually nerfed.

One-shotting opponents via a chest shot was not possible for a long time in Call of Duty Warzone. Only a select few sniper rifles can one-shot opponents when a headshot is registered.

However, the recent game update allows the Vanguard Type 99 sniper rifle to down its enemies with just a single chest shot.

Here's a look at the attachments that allow this sniper to do so up to a certain distance:

  • Muzzle - MX Silencer
  • Barrel - Shiraishi 712mm Sniper
  • Optics - SVT-40 PU Scope 3-6x
  • Stock - Removed Stock
  • Underbarrel - SMLE Pistol Grip
  • Magazine - 8mm Kaluser 5 Round Mags
  • Ammunition - Lengthened
  • Rear Grip - Taped Grip
  • Perk 1 - Vital
  • Perk 2 - On-Hand

The most important parts of the build that makes this weapon so lethal are the 8mm Klauser 5 Round Mags and the Vital Perk. Combining these two attachments is necessary to register a damage of 300 points when a chest shot is connected.

Other than these two, the MX Silencer and the Shiraishi 712mm Sniper barrel increase the range of this chest shot and, as such, are also important attachments for this build.

Removed Stock, On-Hand, and SMLE Pistol Grip will reduce the ADS time of the gun by a significant margin.

When it comes to choice of scopes, gamers can use the SVT-40 PU Scope 3-6x optics. It is a variable zoom optics and comes with a slight recoil benefit.

However, if operators really wish to be toxic in their matches, they can shift to ZF4 3.5x Rifle Scope. This scope doesn't have a glint, thus allowing users to be extra stealthy during their engagements.

As seen on the graph, the one-shot chest-shot potential of the Type 99 sniper rifle only extends up to 64 meters. Beyond that, the damage registered to the chest is only 200 points per bullet, so players will have to quickly follow up with a second shot.

But this rifle will be very effective in the hands of expert and aggressive snipers on smaller maps like Rebirth Island and Fortune's Keep. Engagement ranges in these two maps usually stay limited to 50-60 meters, and, as such, this sniper will cause havoc.
