5. MTZ Interceptor

The MTZ Interceptor was previously considered the most popular Marksman Rifle in Warzone.

Following a massive nerf in Season 1 Reloaded, the MTZ Interceptor has been pushed all the way up to fifth place. The gun’s statistics are still competitive, but it falls short in power compared to its counterparts. However, it still manages to pack sufficient firepower to be recognized as a competitive Marksman Rifle in Warzone.

4. MCW 6.8

The MCW 6.8 will feel like a balanced version of the classic DMR in Warzone.

The semi-automatic iteration of the popular ACR, the MCW 6.8 Marksman Rifle, combines firepower with enhanced comfort, boasting minimal recoil, ideal for engagements from mid to long ranges in Warzone.

While it may not outclass its competitors, the MCW 6.8 stands as an effective alternative for players seeking a challenging pick within the game.

3. DM56

The DM56 is the perfect alternative if you’re looking for extra damage and range.

Despite not being as popular as other Rifles on the list, the DM56 semi-automatic Marksman Rifle has managed to earn a top three spot given its ease of use and high damage.

While this gun can achieve three-shot kills, it has been outperformed by several counterparts with a slightly better TTK. However, the weapon has demonstrated versatility, achieving incredible results at both mid to long ranges in the game.

2. KVD Enforcer

The KVD Enforcer has gained a ton of popularity during Warzone’s Season 3 Reloaded.

The KVD Enforcer has moved up the list due to its ease of use and great damage. Despite being a semi-automatic weapon, this Marksman Rifle easily kills enemies all over Urzikstan, Vondel, Fortune’s Keep, and Rebirth Island.

The sheer damage combined with great range, handling, and recoil control makes the KVD Enforcer an outstanding mid to long-range pick in the game.

1. Lockwood MK2 – Best Marksman Rifle in Warzone

The Lockwood MK2 became the most popular Marksman Rifle in Season 3 Reloaded.

Despite it usually going under the radar, the Lockwood MK2 received the brand-new JAK Wardens Aftermarket Part which turns the gun into the classic Model 1887 from the original MW2, making it an excellent pick in close-range fights.

Veteran players will remember how powerful these were in 2009’s MW2, and the same qualities can be felt with the Lockwood Mk2 as it manages to claim the best Marksman Rilfe spot in Warzone Season 3 Reloaded.
