“Absolutely bonkers, snipers were the only gun capable of even coming close to competing with the insanely accurate ARs, which have been dominating almost all ranges since warzones release. In a post titled ‘ Look How they Massacred My Boy’, user RedIron42 expresses their displeasure with the change. Well, on one hand, there’s a portion of players who aren’t happy at all.

With this in mind, let’s take a gander at the official Reddit to see what the community is thinking. It’s not alone either - it’s joined by the M82, HDR, ZRG 20mm, and the 30Line Rifle. With the right loadout, who knows? It could be the next big thing. It's a one-shot machine, any range, any time, any place. It’s a hefty weapon with a few blemishes here and there, but now it has an overwhelming benefit many other Snipers don't.

Looking at WZRanked, a hugely popular resource for checking weapon builds and popularity across the community, it currently has a 0.13 pick rate in loadouts, compared to the 4.44% for the Kar and 2.99% for the Swiss. The Gorenko is one example of a sniper that doesn’t get a lot of love. What this does do, if not take away too much from the top tier snipers, is provide a tasty buff to some underused weapons. All the qualities that make them powerful - and popular - remain largely intact. Now, it’s worth noting that even with these changes the Kar98k and Swiss are still great guns in their effective ranges. That was around a year ago, so you can start to imagine just how long these guns have been must-haves! Back then, it was ADS time that got a major touch up which arguably led to weapons like the Kar98k and Swiss landing in their uncontested top spots in the first place. This is the first time since the Sniper Rifle rework back in Verdansk that these Snipers have undergone major meta-shifting developments. What a scandal - they aren’t cross-map demons anymore. What’s worth noting is the aforementioned Kar98k and Swiss fall into that first category. This not only brings more identity to each weapon but means Attachments that provide the lighter and quicker sniper rifles the Damage Range stat will increase their ability to one shot at increased distances.”Īs such, Snipers are now split into three categories: snipers that only get one-shot-kills in their effective range, snipers that get one-shot-kills at any range, and snipers that can’t one-shot people at all. It continues: “Snipers may now use damage ranges as a defining characteristic of their one-shot potential. In its own dedicated section, the post explains that, with the health increase to all players the ability for sniper rifles to get one-shot-kills pushed it above and beyond any other weapon type, and “diluted the Sniper class into one important metric, speed to click heads.”
