The best marksman rifles in Call of Duty: Warzone

Strike from afar.

In the large open areas and sprawling hills of Call of Duty: Warzone’s Caldera, you need a long-range weapon to hit enemies from a distance.

Sniper rifles work well for this, but marksman rifles can sometimes be a better option. Luckily, Warzone has a few great marksman rifle options thanks to the weapon roster in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare.

Marksman rifles can be used as sniper rifles or as long-distance semi-automatic rifles that can chunk down armor. Vanguard added its own class of marksman rifles to the game in 2021, and both types are very similar to the tactical rifle class introduced with Black Ops Cold War.

When you pair a marksman rifle with an assault rifle or strong submachine gun, you turn into a deadly killing machine in the battle royale. When it’s time to grab your loadout from a loadout drop, you should seriously consider equipping a good marksman rifle.

Here are the best marksman rifles and attachments to use in Warzone.
