An effective secondary weapon is a must for players who prefer using Sniper Rifles in Call of Duty: Warzone 2. While Sniper Rifles excel in long-range fights, not all engagements take place under such circumstances. Moreover, the scope for long-distance fights drops drastically when the last circles appear. Hence, equipping a good secondary weapon that excels in close-to-mid-range fights becomes necessary for players that use a Sniper Rifle as their primary gun.

Such weapons that complement a Sniper Rifle are called Sniper Supports. The weapon must perform well at close and medium ranges to qualify as a good Sniper Support gun. Moreover, it must have high mobility statistics and be easy to handle.

Previously, the Lachmann Sub was considered a great Sniper Support before it had its shortcomings. For instance, it doesn't perform well at medium ranges.

This guide will look at the best Sniper Support weapon in the multiplayer title and suggest the best loadout to shred through enemies that look to engage in close combat.
