Black Ops 6 offers players a diverse arsenal of weapons, each filling a specific niche within the game’s meta. While Assault Rifles and Submachine Guns dominate the battlefield, with options like the Jackal PDW reigning supreme, skilled marksmen may prefer the LR 7.62 Sniper Rifle.

The LR 7.62 is a bolt-action Sniper Rifle that players will acquire pretty late into their progression in Black Ops 6, unlockable upon reaching level 49. Leading in firepower and accuracy among all the weapons of its category, this weapon is an absolute powerhouse across range. While Sniper Rifles like the LW3A1 Frostline may have an edge in handling and mobility, the LR 7.62 can be a fast and reliable option with the right loadout.

Updated on November 25, 2024, by Nathan Round: While serving as an excellent Sniper Rifle for Black Ops 6 Multiplayer, the LR 7.62's debut into Warzone for Season 1 has provided Battle Royale players with one of the best Sniper Rifles in the game. With its integration into the popular Battle Royale title, this guide has been updated to include an excellent long-range loadout for Call of Duty: Warzone.

Best LR 7.62 Build:

  • Long Barrel (Barrel)
  • Ranger Handguard (Underbarrel)
  • Quickdraw Grip (Rear Grip)
  • Fast Mag I (Stock)
  • Rapid Fire (Fire Mods)

This LR 7.62 build excels at providing players with a fast, efficient Sniper Rifle for long-range engagements. The attachments highlighted above improve aim-down-sight speed, sprint-to-fire speed, and overall movement, enabling players to scope in on targets quickly and rapidly reposition if needed. Additionally, both damage range and fire rate have been boosted, allowing for more consistent one-shot kills at a distance and quicker follow-up shots when facing multiple opponents.

Best Black Ops 6 Perks & Wildcard

    • Gung-Ho (Perk 1)
    • Fast Hands (Perk 2)
    • Double Time (Perk 3)
    • Enforcer (Specialty)
    • Perk Greed (Wildcard)
    • Scavenger (Perk Greed)

The Perks and Wildcard showcased above are solid options to pair with the LR 7.62, thanks to their benefits in boosting mobility and health regeneration, along with improving movement speed whilst reloading — an invaluable advantage when needing to retreat and reload simultaneously. Additional perks include increased weapon swap speeds, perfect for quickly swapping to a secondary weapon when needed.

Black Ops 6 Secondary Recommendations

The LR 7.62 is a powerhouse for long-range engagements, but its effectiveness up close is limited due to its reliance on accuracy. This is where a solid secondary option comes into play, with Handguns like the Grekhova and the 9mm PM serving as great choices for Multiplayer. Either Pistol works well, offering a solid damage output and allowing players to stay protected when enemies get too close for comfort.

Submachine Guns remain as the top weapons to use in close-range for Warzone. Here are some of the top options and the best weapon builds for each.

Best LR 7.62 Loadout In Warzone

  • Best LR 7.62 Build:

    • Suppressor (Muzzle)
    • Reinforced Barrel (Barrel)
    • Quick Draw Grip (Read Grip)
    • Light Stock (Stock)
    • 7.62 Nato Overpressured (Fire Mods)
  • Gunfighter Attachments:

    • Ranger Handguard (Underbarrel)
    • Extended Mag I (Magazine)
    • Target Laser (Laser)

Next up is an LR 7.62 build perfectly tailored for the long-range meta in Warzone. With the attachments listed above, bullet velocity and damage range are greatly increased, allowing players to land their shots with minimal adjustment to their aim — along with providing more consistent two-shot and one-shot kills.

Additional benefits include a significant boost to movement speed and aim-down-sight speed, as well as a delay in aiming idle sway when scoping in. As a result, the LR 7.62 performs faster and remains incredibly accurate, making it an excellent choice for sniping on larger maps like Urzikstan.

Best Warzone Perks & Wildcard

  • Dexterity (Perk 1)
  • Cold Blooded (Perk 2)
  • Alertness (Perk 3)
  • Gunfighter (Wildcard)

The above Perk Package may differ from what many players typically run with their other loadouts. However, it’s an excellent match for a dedicated Sniper build. With the selected Perks, players benefit from reduced fall damage and decreased weapon motion during movement activities — perfect for staying on target while on the move.

This setup also grants players the ability to track opponents without being detected unless they are directly in their line of sight, thanks to the fact that the user will be immune to Alertness. Furthermore, the notification system brought about by using Alterness also warns players when they’re being targeted, making it easier to quickly duck behind cover or get out of sight.

Warzone Secondary Recommendations

While this Sniper Rifle setup is excellent for long-range engagements, relying solely on a Sniper Rifle is not recommended. Instead, players should equip an additional primary weapon to swap to when needed, either by acquiring it via the Buy Station or by running Overkill — if they can manage using just five attachments on the LR 7.62. For most, a Submachine Gun will work nicely, with the Jackal PDW and the Saug being some of the best options.

For players seeking more versatility at range or a weapon to use after dealing damage to opponents from afar, an Assault Rifle is also a great choice. Currently, one of the best Assault Rifles is the GPR 91. However, other options like the XM4 and the Model L are just as effective.
