Sniper rifles always find a home in players’ loadouts in Warzone, and our XRK Stalker loadout in Warzone is one of the best.

Players who prefer to play methodically and fight from a distance love Modern Warfare 3’s snipers, including the XRK Stalker, which was added in season one and is among several choices players need to make when picking weapons from a loadout drop.

Here’s what we think is the best loadout for the XRK Stalker in Call of Duty: Warzone so far.

As part of the season two update, the XRK Stalker can now one-shot an enemy with a single shot to the head within its maximum damage range, which is 50.8 meters with no attachments. Our loadout focuses on extending that damage range further.

Best XRK Stalker attachments in Warzone

  • Muzzle: Sonic Suppressor XL
  • Barrel: Fission 60 Barrel
  • Laser: SL Razorhawk Laser Light
  • Ammunition: .50 Cal High Grain Rounds
  • Stock: No Stock

With this set of attachments, we’re stretching that 50-meter one-shot kill range to 75.7 meters. This is all thanks to the Sonic Suppressor Muzzle, Fission 60 Barrel, and .50 CAL High Grain Rounds, which increase the weapon’s damage range.

Some community members prefer using the XRK Stalker over the KATT-AMR, as it offers significantly faster sprint-to-fire and ADS times. But, at the end of the day, the XRK Stalker is still a sniper rifle, so it’s still slower than most weapons in the game. We recommend using the SL Razorhawk Laser Light Laser and No Stock, which both greatly improve sprint to fire, ADS movement, and aim walking speeds.

Best XRK Stalker perks and equipment in Warzone

  • Perk Package:
    • Perk 1: Double Time
    • Perk 2: E.O.D.
    • Perk 3: Tempered
    • Perk 4: Ghost
  • Secondary weapon: BAS-B SMG or Holger 556
  • Lethal: Claymore or Semtex
  • Tactical: Smoke Grenade

A good assault rifle or SMG is a great addition to any sniper rifle loadout in Warzone. A sniper’s support weapon is nearly as important as the right attachments, so make sure to check out our suggestions.

For the rest of the class setup, the perks we selected are great for adding a little mobility and survivability while also helping out with the stealth aspect of Warzone thanks to Ghost. For your Lethal and Tactical, the choice is more down to preference than anything, but a Smoke Grenade is a basic necessity in Warzone these days.
