The ZRG 20mm sniper rifle can be used in both Call of Duty Warzone and Black Ops Cold War, with the same unlock requirement:

Using Sniper Rifles, earn 2 Longshot medals in 10 different matches.

Now if you own Black Ops Cold War and you're not solely a Warzone player, then completing this challenge there should be significantly easier because you'll have a much better time getting quick kills. Post up somewhere high with a sniper, get two longshot medals, then wait till the next match, rinse and repeat.

Alternatively, if you do only play Warzone, then your best bet will be to enter Plunder because you can carry your loadout in from the get-go. Find a nice rooftop to perch atop and pick people off like ants on the ground.

Give me a game and I will write every "how to" I possibly can or die trying. When I'm not knee-deep in a game to write guides on, you'll find me hurtling round the track in F1, flinging balls on my phone in Pokemon Go, pretending to know what I'm doing in Football Manager, or clicking on heads in Valorant.
