The Season 4 Mercenaries of Fortune patch in Call of Duty Warzone has led many players to once again employ sniper rifles as the primary weapon in matches. This is due to the various buffs that this weapon category has received.
The update brought plenty of new content for gamers to enjoy, including the latest Resurgence map, called Fortune's Keep, along with many positive changes to the original map of Caldera.
The latest patch also threw in new game modes, weapons, skins, and a brand new armored SUV for operators to relish. It also caused a major reshuffle in weapons stats.
Metaphor reveals best Vanguard sniper in Season 4 of Call of Duty Warzone
Metaphor is a popular Call of Duty Warzone streamer and is regarded by the game's community as one of the title's best players on the PC platform. He also has a YouTube channel where he posts gameplay videos along with loadouts of various meta weapons.
In one of his uploads, he showcased the power of the 3-Line Rifle, which is one of the few one-shot headshot snipers that are present in the current Warzone meta. The sniper is known among the playerbase as a heavy hitter and has one of the least idle-sways in the game. The Season 4 patch also added an aim-down-sight (ADS) time buff to this weapon, making it much faster to transition in and out of scope.
