One-shot snipers have finally made their return to Warzone 2, although it’s far more limited than we had hoped.
Anyone who played the original Warzone will know just how brutal snipers were during that game’s run. It seems even the developers knew that the snipers were bustedm as Warzone 2 removed one-shot sniper rifles entirely after they had already been significantly nerfed during the Call of Duty Vanguard era of Warzone. However, this had the opposite effect, effectively killing snipers in the meta.
Call of Duty fans were excited to hear that Infinity Ward teased the return of one-shot (via @charlieINTEL on Twitter) in Warzone 2 Season 2 Reloaded. Although it came with the caveat that the return wasn’t planned as a full-scale return over every game mode. Now we know, thanks to a strong hint from the @InfinityWard Twitter account, that the Shillelagh one-shot sniper rifle has finally made its debut as part of the St Patrick's Day event.
