Well, there\u2019s a recently buffed Call of Duty: Vanguard sniper that is pretty powerful and rivals the dominant Kar98. Ever since Call of Duty: Warzone first launched, sniper rifles have played an all-important role in the battle royale. The long-range weapons typically have one-shot potential, so you can camp or play pretty aggressively with them. Though, the sniper rifle meta has been a little stale for a while. The Swiss K31 and Kar98 have dominated for quite some time, and even though players have tried to give a little love to the likes of the AX-50 and Pelington, nothing really matches the other two. However, following the Warzone Pacific Season 2 update, there is one Vanguard sniper, in particular, that could become meta and rival those two as it is, in some cases, feeling like a \u201chit scan\u201d weapon. The weapon in question is, of course, the 3-Line Sniper Rifle. The Vanguard option was given some movement and ADS speed buffs in the last patch, prompting some creators to shine a spotlight on it. That includes NRG\u2019s IceManIsaac, who noted that some of the game\u2019s popular sniper attachments were also buffed, which only helps the 3-Line\u2019s cause. \u201cI\u2019m at a very close tie between this and the Kar,\u201d he said. \u201cThe Vanguard Kar, it\u2019s definitely faster but it doesn\u2019t feel as satisfying, in terms of bullet velocity, as the 3-Line.\u201d The YouTuber\u2019s build of choice significantly boosts the sniper\u2019s range and control, as well as adds a little bit more in terms of ADS speed, which is always welcome, even after the update.

As per WZRanked stats, it has a 0.26 pick rate and is the 43rd most-used weapon in the game. Should more players switch things up and run the YouTuber\u2019s build, it would likely shoot up the charts. Though, many will continue to rock the Swiss and Kar regardless, just because they\u2019re so comfortable with them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Underused Vanguard sniper in Warzone rivals Kar98 after massive buffs ActivisionWant to change up your sniper loadouts in Warzone?
