Despite nerfs the best Warzone SP-R 208 loadouts are still a seriously powerful long range option to pack in Call of Duty Warzone. It's an almost guaranteed one shot kill to the head and chest, countered by a slow fire rate - so it's deadly, you just have to trust your aim. Coming up, we've got some Warzone SP-R 208 loadout options that use a range of attachments to lean into builds that favor range, stealth and speed, depending on how you want to use it. Obviously, if you're planning to lean hard on a sniper it's worth having the Overkill perk in play for a second primary with more range options.

  • Muzzle - monolithic suppressor
  • Barrel - SP-R 26”
  • Optic - Solozero SP-R 28mm
  • Ammunition - .338 Lapua Mag 5-R Mags
  • Bolt - Sloan KR-800 DeadEye

The main draw of a sniper rifle is the ability to kill people from really, really far away, and this SP R 208 loadout is all about that. This combines a barrel and suppressor that will give a huge amount of range, while the heavy hitting .338 ammo ups the punch on an already high damage. To round it off the Solozero scope has (almost) the highest magnification in the game. This is basically a weapon you use to engage the enemies over miles rather than meters.

  • Laser - Tac Laser
  • Muzzle - Compensator
  • Optic - VLK 3.0x
  • Bolt - Sloan KR-600 Feather
  • Perk - Focus

While you're never going to get a speedy fire rate from the bolt action gun there are ways to keep a steady stream of bullets on an enemy. The Tac Laser will decrease the guns aim down sight speed letting you pull up a shot quicker, as well as stabilizing things. The optic is a lower magnification but it means you won't have the massive jump you might see over longer ranges, and it's low enough to not have a telltale glint to give you away - important if you're firing several times from a fixed position. The compensator will also reduce recoil and help you keep a target in those sights, as will the Focus perk which reduces flinching as you fire. Finally there's the Feather bolt which will let you chamber rounds faster.

  • Barrel - XRK P208 Dragoon
  • Optic - Merc Thermal
  • Stock - FSS Virtuoso Pro
  • Underbarrel - Commando Foregrip

The brunt of this SP-R 208 loadout comes from the Dragoon barrel which is basically a built in suppressor. The thermal optic is a choice you can swap out if you want more range, but it will make targets stand out more - if you're playing stealth then you're hunting and anything that makes the prey easier to find it s a good thing. Finally, the stock and foregrip will help steady your aim, which is always useful when every shot needs to count.
