Call of Duty Modern Warfare Remastered Multiplayer Guide

Sniper Rifles

Sniper Rifles are long range, one-shot-kill weapons. They are equipped with long range scopes, and can often kill with a single shot. All of the Sniper Rifles have the same damage over all ranges, but they cause different damage to different parts of the body. The mobility of this class is comparable to Assault Rifles.

M40A3

The M40A3 is the perfect balance of accuracy and power among Sniper Rifles. The bolt action fire mode prevents it from firing quickly, but one shot might be all you need.
