Warzone Meta Ranking for Marksman Rifles in Battle Royale Overview

#1 Tempus Torrent

Securing a C Tier in our ranking, the Tempus Torrent, a powerful DMR, boasts of good accuracy and a commendable time-to-kill ratio. It consequently shines in mid to long range engagements. It's not the best rifle out there, but if you are adept at controlling its recoil, you can inflict some serious damage.

#2 Lockwood MK2

The Lockwood MK2, another C Tier weapon, is a lever-action marksman rifle, lauded for its high fire rate and fast aim-down-sight (ADS) speed. While its speed properties are impressive, the rifle, unfortunately, lacks power in Warzone 2. As a result, it takes multiple shots to down an enemy, which can be a disadvantage in high-paced combat situations.

#3 TAQ-M

The TAQ-M makes it to the C Tier due to its substantial potential for damage coupled with manageable recoil. However, its slow firing speed may render it less effective in rapid-fire scenarios. Best used at mid to long range, the TAQ-M fits players who prefer calculated, targeted gunfights and can navigate its slower fire rate.

#4 EBR-14

EBR-14, another semi-automatic marksman rifle in the C Tier, brags about high damage output, if you know how to tame the recoil beast. It's best engaged at mid to long range, taking advantage of its damage potential and mitigating the harder to control recoil at close distances.

#5 SP-R 208

The SP-R 208, a D Tier marksman rifle, is a bolt action rifle known for its high fire rate and mobility. Riding on the downside, it lacks power in Warzone 2, requiring 3 headshots at long range to down players.

#6 LM-S

The LM-S semi-automatic rifle is a high damage dealer with a good time to kill. However, it struggles with recoil control at long range, making it best suited for mid-range engagements. It secures a spot on the D Tier - definitely not the best, but can be used effectively in the proper hands.

The final rifle in our rundown, the SA-B 50, is a bolt action marksman rifle with fairly high fire rate and mobility. Sadly, like the SP-R 208, it also lacks power in Warzone 2, taking 3 headshots to down players at long range. While not the strongest in our list, it's a fun option if you're looking for a change of pace.

#7 SA-B 50
