When it comes to Warzone 2 Season 4, the Lachmann 556 stands out as the strongest AR and the ISO 45 reigns above the rest in the SMG category.
However, when it comes to snipers, the best pick is less obvious as there are so many options available to choose from that all have their strengths.
Despite this, identifying a top-tier sniper is key in Ranked, as locking down power positions on the map is a great way to survive until the late game.
Well, WZ2 expert Luke "Metaphor" Canning believes they've found the "best sniper in Warzone 2 Ranked right now," which is heavily underrated.
Deadly Victus XMR sniper loadout is built for Warzone 2 Ranked
Attachments
- Barrel: Mack 8 33.5 Super
- Muzzle: Bruen Counter Ops
- Laser: VLK LZR 7MW
- Optic: Schlager 3.4x
- Ammunition: .50 Cal High Velocity
For Metaphor, the Victus XMR outshines other picks like the MCPR-300 and FJX Imperium for dominating Ranked thanks to the gun's insane damage output.
While this is perfect for taking out opponents at long range, it's actually most useful for 'finishing off' downed opponents. This is key in Ranked because ensuring a foe cannot be revived is essential if you're looking to clutch the number one spot in a match.
Not only that, the Victus XMR paired alongside a meta AR or SMG will always create a solid loadout that can thrive in any skirmish - giving you the best chance at securing victory.
The loadout above is all about maximising the gun's bullet velocity, damage range, and stability to create the ultimate rifle that's packed with lethality.
How popular is the Victus XMR in Warzone 2?
According to WZRanked, the Victus XMR has a shockingly low 0.3% pick rate in Warzone 2, which puts it at 23rd in the overall popularity rankings. If you're struggling to climb in Ranked, add the weapon above to your loadout list and start locking down power positions on Al Mazrah.
With the Victus XMR in hand, you'll have the tools to pick off opponents from afar and carry yourself to more Ranked victories.
