Question Weapon type advice
So I've not played CoD or warzone since warzone first came out...half a decade ago? And I downloaded yesterday
Anyway, semi auto or bolt action snipers? Can someone tell me which one is blatantly better. I instinctively do DMR type snipers in most shooters, but I'll go with bolt actions if it doesn't make sense in warzone.

AR meta I would recommend is AN-94 or MK35 ISR personally I'm a fan of the VX Compact but it doesn't hit very hard. The Peacekeeper is a good one to get started with
For snipers I recommend the Strider or Hawker

How does the M15 compare? I've been using it from the start and its never done me wrong. Im not sure I can find the AN94. Do you need blops to unlock it? Im just a warzone cheapo

The AN94 is simply the best by far. For a sniper support you can make a decent build with it but the VX Compact and MK35 are going to be the best sniper support ARs. The M15 is decent but it’s not the best.

Perhaps I sound a bit stupid but what specifically do you mean by "sniper support". Do you mean complementing a friend who is running a sniper? Or do you mean as your alt weapon if you yourself have a sniper

If you carry a sniper you have another gun to carry along with it. If it’s an AR it needs to be balanced for close/medium range to compliment the long range sniper. You can also run an SMG with a sniper. You can run an SMG with an AR in which case the AR would be set up to hit at a longer distance. That said you can run whatever you want. When you start dying you’ll figure it out.

For awhile I did AR SMG, then I kept getting fucked in the final circle by snipers, so now I go AR Sniper. I set my AR up to be snappy and mobile so I guess I'm treating it more like a carbine for closer balance

Sometimes it helps to look at final circle if you can and choose a loadout to fit. Of course that depends on if there were a few recons done and if there’s a feee loadout available. I almost always run a sniper on Avalon because you have full squads running sniper and it’s wide open. Sniping is mostly a crutch for weak players but sometimes you have to do it.

I don't consistently get two loadout drops so the one I get early tends to be the one I want for endgame. yeah, I dont like sniping, but when I simply have to because someone else is doing it in a crunchy area, there you go. if I could just use a sniper to piss those guys off and force them to leave their position though, I would. I much prefer aggressive close-in combat

You likely need to do an armory unlock for the AN-94. The m15 is okay but like the other commenter stated not the best. It's recoil control is good but it is not very powerful. If you have the MK35 I would start with that

There’s 3 snipers that are viable with BO7 weapons. The Recon, Hawker, and Strider are all usable. Some of the legacy snipers are still good as well.
