It’s the year 2022 and the Season 3 update has driven all sniper rifles out of Warzone’s meta. All sniper rifles? No, the indomitable HDR holds her post.
Actually, that’s not quite true: it’s more that the big sniper nerf in the Season 3 update has weakened the previous front-runners Swiss K31 and Kar98k so much that HDR can act as a stopgap, filling the power vacuum – before the patch, the sniper rifle from Modern Warfare had been hanging around in the lower ranks of the meta.
Why the rapid rise? Unlike the majority of its classmates, the HDR has enough firepower to reliably take down enemies with a single shot, even after the patch. The best HDR setup for Warzone Pacific Season 3 is revealed in this guide.
