After years in hiding, the Kar98k has finally returned to where it belongs. The Season 4 update in Call of Duty: Warzone and MW3 reintroduced the classic sniper via the Battle Pass. To make the Kar98k viable in Warzone, though, you need a specific loadout.
Best Kar98k Loadout in Warzone
Fortunately for all Kar98k users, the new marksman rifle does have the ability to one-shot kill enemies. This is only up to a certain range, though, so you can’t down a fully-plated enemy from hundreds of meters away. Instead, the one-shot kill range of the Kar98k is just under 90 meters with the loadout below.
- Muzzle: Sonic Suppressor L
- Barrel: Prazisiongewehr 7.62 Long Barrel
- Optic: Corio Eagleseye 2.5x
- Stock: No Stock
- Ammunition: 7.62 High Grain Rounds
Starting off the loadout is the Sonic Suppressor L muzzle, which boosts bullet velocity and damage range along with keeping your shots silent on the map. Paired with the muzzle is the Prazisiongewehr 7.62 Long Barrel, which also increases bullet velocity and damage range. With these two attachments together, your bullet velocity is one of the best you can have in Warzone. To really get those one-shot kills flowing, I have also picked out the 7.62 High Grain Rounds, adding to your damage range stat.
Now that your one-shot kills are squared away, we can focus a little on mobility. The No Stock attachment is all you need to ensure the Kar98k can still quickscope enemies easily. The final attachment on the loadout is the Corio Eagleseye 2.5x optic, but you can swap that out with a long-range scope if you prefer.

With the loadout taken care of, it’s time to fill out the rest of your class for the Kar98k:
