Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Season 1 has brought in some exciting new additions and changes to the sniper rifle lineup. Whether you're a quick-scoper or a tactical player, these snipers can make or break your game. In this article, we'll dive into the top five snipers in the game, ranking them based on their effectiveness, versatility, and, of course, their performance after the latest patch. One sniper has even made its way into the list recently—let’s see where it lands!

5. The SVD - A Shadow of Its Former Self

At number five, we have the SVD. Once a fan favorite for its semi-auto, quick-fire capabilities, this sniper has fallen from grace following the latest update. The patch significantly nerfed its power and precision, leaving it with limited appeal. The SVD now feels sluggish, and the hit detection has become inconsistent, which makes it a tough choice compared to other rifles on the market.

Many players have been quick to drop it from their loadouts, opting for faster, more efficient options. It’s kind of like the Microsoft Edge browser—still technically functional, but no one wants to use it. If you're looking for a sniper to rely on, the SVD is no longer your go-to weapon. Unless you're feeling nostalgic, there's no real reason to pick it over the newer snipers available in the game.

4. The New Sniper - TBD, but Worth the Wait

At number four is the newest addition to the sniper family, and while we can’t confirm the name just yet (it’s all part of the hype), it’s a game-changer. Players were excited when it was first teased, and for good reason. This sniper is relatively well-balanced, with a solid rate of fire and decent damage, but it doesn’t quite match up to the elite snipers in the game.

What sets it apart is its versatility—it’s capable of both long-range precision and mid-range action. While it doesn’t have the raw stopping power of the AMR or LR 762, it offers enough to be a strong contender. This sniper’s lack of any major flaws means that it will likely continue to be a staple in the meta, especially for players who want something more adaptable without sacrificing too much damage output.

3. Frostline - Precision with a Learning Curve

Number three is the Frostline. At first, I wasn’t sold on this weapon, especially due to its hit markers and the considerable flinch when taking shots. I thought the gun required way too much skill to be truly effective—probably a skill issue on my part. But after a bit of practice, I found the Frostline to be incredibly rewarding.

Unlike some of the other snipers, the Frostline is fast. It feels like the other snipers are sluggish in comparison. Its bolt-action mechanism and faster ADS speed make it perfect for quick-scoping, and once you get the feel for its recoil, it’s a laser beam. The hit markers and flinch are still present, but they become manageable with time. For players who thrive on fast-paced, aggressive sniper gameplay, the Frostline is a top-tier choice, even if it requires a bit more finesse than others.

2. LR 762 - The DSR of Black Ops 6

Coming in at number two is the LR 762. If you’re a fan of sniping in the Black Ops series, this weapon will feel familiar—it’s essentially the DSR of Black Ops 6. While it doesn’t have the instant one-shot kill potential of the AMR, it makes up for it with its reliability and balance. The LR 762 is a powerhouse in the right hands, offering a solid mix of fire rate, precision, and damage.

For players who loved the DSR in previous games, the LR 762 is a great modern alternative. It hits hard, and the speed of the weapon means that you can get back into action quickly after every shot. It’s a perfect choice for players who prefer to take a bit more time between shots but want to make each one count. Though it’s not as universally loved as the AMR, the LR 762 is still a deadly tool in the sniper arsenal.

1. AMR - The King of Snipers

Finally, at number one, we have the AMR—without a doubt, the best sniper in Black Ops 6, and it’s not even close. It’s the equivalent of comparing Double D’s to an A cup. It’s just in another league. The AMR has the power, the range, and the accuracy to take down enemies with ease. Whether you’re engaging at close range or picking off targets across the map, the AMR delivers.

What makes the AMR stand out is its sheer dominance. It’s capable of one-shot kills with almost every hit, and its semi-auto firing mode means you can rapidly follow up with a second shot if necessary. The versatility of this sniper makes it a must-have in nearly every situation, and it’s the clear choice for anyone looking to dominate the battlefield.

There’s simply no competition when it comes to power. Whether you’re fighting in a crowded objective or holding down a long-range lane, the AMR reigns supreme. It’s the go-to sniper for players who want the ultimate sniping experience.

Conclusion

Season 1 of Black Ops 6 has introduced a new wave of snipers that continue to shape the meta. While the SVD has fallen off, other snipers like the Frostline and LR 762 have stepped up to the plate. However, the AMR remains the undisputed king of the sniper category, offering unmatched power and versatility. Whether you're a seasoned sniper or a newcomer to the series, these weapons should be in your arsenal if you want to be at the top of your game.
