Best Sniper Rifles In Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, ranked

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare released to massive fanfare and huge acclaim on October 25, 2019. It brought the franchise back to life the only way it knew how with loads of very large guns and awesome explosions. Its campaign mode has garnered worldwide criticism about how good it is, but let's be honest, the only reason most of you will be playing is for multiplayer.

The inclusion of white phosphorus in this mode has caused a lot of controversy, but other than that it is a game that is soaring to the top with several ways to beef up your killstreak and right at the top of the list, as always, is the number of different guns you can get your hands on.

Here at Gamepur, we will cover every happy triggered weapon that is available on a number of different guides, but for today, we will be taking a look at sniper rifles. These are the perfect way to kill your enemies from afar and are a favorite of those feared and hated people who love to camp but are also useful enough for those of you who like to stay out of the danger of a possible battlefield. Then, slap your camouflage and hunker down with the best and currently only Call of Duty: Modern Warfare sniper rifles.

name="ax-50">AX-50

This old-fashioned bolt-action sniper rifle comes in handy for quick exploration, but that's about it. It doesn't pack the punch or auto skill of the other two on this list but can be carried much more easily, making it quite mobile in comparison and into a gunfight that can sometimes mean the difference between keeping your crawl alive or becoming a notch on someone else's totem pole.

name="dragunov">Dragunov

The name="dragunov">Dragunov is a semi-automatic sniper rifle that is very, very useful if you suddenly find yourself in the thick of battle, with enemies surrounding you from all sides. Sure, it's not an AK-47 but you can open up to this bad boy and be pretty sure that anyone who hits that bum in your line of sight will drop off and not get back up. It's basically a secondary assault rifle that doubles as a sniper tool, but it's pretty good at both and worth having in your arsenal.

name="hdr">HDR

This is for the snipers / campers among you. name="hdr">HDR is a real marksman's weapon and has the ability to shatter a car engine into a million pieces from over a mile away (probably). If you are going to use name="hdr">HDR, use it correctly. Reach higher ground and make sure your field of view is clear all around, then crouch and observe your surroundings. The first person who is unlucky to come into your sight, just pull that trigger and watch their head vaporize. Easily the best of the three sniper rifles on offer.
