Firstly, this weapon has the one-shot-headshot capacity in Warzone, which means players can knock out opponents with just one bullet.

Similarly, players can adapt to an aggressive playstyle with this Marksman Rifle in COD Warzone. However, precision is key behind using any Sniper Rifle, and it will ultimately depend on an individual's game sense, crosshair placement, map knowledge and instinctive reflex in-game.
