Warzone 2 players divided over potential Season 3 sniper buff ActivisonSome Warzone 2 players believe Season 3 could buff sniper rifles, creating a divide among players. In Warzone 1, sniper rifles one shot kill enemies if you hit a headshot. Infinity Ward backtracked for the battle royale sequel, preventing snipers from one-hit killing. The design choice made sniper rifles significantly less popular. According to WZ Ranked, the top-class option only has a pick rate of 3.9%. During Season 2, incendiary ammunition enabled snipers to one-shot kill enemies again. After one week, the developers stepped in and reverted the change. As Season 3 approaches, it looks as though the developers may give one-shot sniper rifles another go, and fans don\u2019t know how to feel. Warzone 2 community split over one-shot snipers In Season 2 Reloaded, the developers tested one-shot kill snipers again. During the St. Patricks Day event, a special Victus XMR sniper didn\u2019t just instant kill to the head, but after any successful shot. Community members were annoyed when the powerful weapon was removed. In the early Season 3 blog, the developers stated: \u201cPatch notes will include balancing updates, such as a crucial change to sniper rifles.\u201d Players inferred that means another go around of snipers being able to one-shot kill enemies, resulting in a debate on Reddit. WZ1 players grimaced at the thought of going up against one-shot snipers, such as the Kar98k and Swiss. \u201cOne-shot snipers were fine, but the Kar98k and Swiss were obnoxious to fight against in certain close\/mid-range engagements and needed to be nerfed.\u201d One user argued that to counter an unbalanced meta: \u201cIf they are going to make changes for WZ2, heavy snipers should be one shot, and marksman rifles should be two shot.\u201d Warzone 2 players have a love-and-hate relationship with snipers. If the class does return to dominance in Season 3, it will be interesting to see how much the meta shifts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
