Season 3 of Warzone 2 has seen substantial upgrades and new additions. The most noticeable change was the return of one-shot snipers.

He has recently shared five chosen weapons that shine as sniper support with proper attachments and tunings. The following article will go through all of the weapon setups offered by the streamer.
