Season 3 of Warzone is in full swing. In addition to new guns and weapons appearing in the battle royale, Raven Software has implemented a wealth of buffs and nerfs affecting the majority of sniper rifles.
Since its addition, the ZRG 20mm sniper rifle has featured in the loadouts of players but the recent adjustments has seen the rifle skyrocket in popularity as many look for the best Warzone sniper rifle to use.
Thanks to the Gunsmith, there are numerous attachment combinations to use on the ZRG 20mm and after some testing, we've found the very best loadout to use on Caldera and Rebirth Island. With that said, find the best ZRG 20mm Warzone loadout and the best attachments to equip in our definitive guide.
What Is The Best ZRG 20mm Warzone Loadout?
Attachment | Name |
---|---|
Muzzle | Wrapped Suppressor |
Barrel | 43.9" Combat Recon |
Laser | SWAT 5mw Laser Sight |
Magazine | 5 Rnd |
Rear Grip | Serpent Wrap |
This particular build minimises damage drop-off at longer distances in addition to improving aim-down sight speed. These attachments ensure the ZRG 20mm can take down most targets with a single bullet.
ZRG 20mm Sniper Rifle
Thanks to the high bullet velocity, the ZRG is extremely versatile thanks to its ability to score kills with just a single bullet. Its sheer power means that it isn't necessary to play passively and wait for a target to appear.
Although the ZRG packs a deadly punch, the relatively slow aim down sight speed and reload speed can make it extremely easy for players to get caught out by any aggressive players encroaching onto a specific location.
With the optimum combination of attachments equipped, the reload speed and ADS time can be improved, but is it capable of contending with the AX-50 or the HDR?
Best ZRG 20mm Warzone Attachments
After a bit of time testing out a range of attachments, here are the best to use:
- Muzzle: Wrapped Suppressor
- Barrel: 43.9" Combat Recon
- Laser: SWAT 5mw Laser Sight
- Magazine: 5 Rnd
- Rear Grip: Serpent Wrap
This set of attachments increases damage output to such high levels that one bullet will shred through three pieces of armour and send an opponent to the ground with no time to react.
The ZRG comes with a built-in optic leaving plenty of space for a five-round magazine and a laser sight to address the slow aim-down sight speed.
Overall, this build is very strong in long-range combat and thanks to its ease of control, it's very easy to develop consistency when landing those tricky snipes from afar.
Best ZRG 20mm Warzone Perks and Equipment
Once the best ZRG 20mm Warzone attachments are ready for battle, choosing a strong set of Perks and Equipment to complement the rifle is just as important. Here are the best Perks and grenades to use alongside the sniper.
Grenades
- Frag Grenade (Lethal)
- Heartbeat Sensor (Tactical)
Arguably the most versatile piece of lethal equipment in Warzone, the frag grenade can be used in a variety of ways to add some additional kills to the scoreboard.
The heartbeat sensor is a no-brainer. It is an essential piece of equipment to determine the location of any oppositions that might be posted up inside a building.
Perks
- Double Time (Perk 1)
- Overkill (Perk 2)
- Amped (Perk 3)
Double Time enables you to navigate Calera or Rebirth Island much faster than normal thanks to longer tactical sprint speed. Overkill allows you to equip Vanguard's Automaton as a secondary weapon, further improving versatility levels while Amped increases weapon swap speed which enables you to switch weapons depending on the situation.
Is The ZRG 20mm Good in Warzone
After a few seasons out of the limelight, the recent sniper nerfs have seen the ZRG 20mm slot into the early Season 3 metagame. Its deadly accuracy combined with a damage output hard to match is perfect for any long-distance duels.
If you haven't used this sniper during a match, I highly recommend it in order to make an impact.
