5) Rytec AMR

The loadout for the Rytec AMR is :

• Muzzle: Rytec AMR Suppressor
• Barrel: FTAC Seven Straight
• Laser: Tac Laser

While the Call of Duty franchise has seen its fair share of iconic snipers, such as the Intervention and the DSR-50, the game has been dominated by close-quarter SMGs and ARs. However, this changed with the introduction of Warzone.

With the wide open landscapes, Warzone has to offer. Long-range combat is an integral part of winning the game. Nothing is more satisfying than one-shotting an oblivious enemy at a distance. However, it is important to have the appropriate loadout with an effective SMG sidearm. Using these load-outs should give you the upper hand in long-range combat.
