Call of Duty Mobile Sniper best gun Rifle Tier List
The high-skill pick for many, we’ve all got horrible/fantastic memories of getting quick scoped by those epic sniping clans on Rust. COD: Mobile has brought Snipers to the small screen now, meaning you can bring the dream of joining FaZe to your phone.
We’ve put together our current standing for COD: Mobile’s snipers. We’ll be tweaking this list as the meta develops, so keep an eye out for big shifts.
| Tier | Gun | Strengths |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | DL Q33 | Fans of previous COD games will immediately recognize this rifle’s iconic design and sound as the Intervention. In COD: Mobile, the gun fills a similar role, rewarding you for highly skilled shooting. Unfortunately, mobile controls make it tough to handle, and the gun’s bolt-action (extremely slow) fire rate means missing a shot is highly likely to be punished. However, if you can reliably land those hits, the DL Q33 will pay dividends, so get used to the controls to score one-hit kills on any shot from the chest up. You can also no-scope at close range fairly reliably if you get snuck upon. |
| 2 | Arctic .50 | The Arctic .50 won’t be in your arsenal for a while, unlocking at level 67, but it’s worth giving a try. With a fire rate and mobility slightly faster than the DL Q33, but damage slightly lower, this rifle is best used for running-and-gunning, moving you around slightly faster and letting you get to the sniping positions you’re after more easily. Whack on the Tactical Scope and you’re good to go. |
| Locus | The Locus is a decent piece of kit, but with a slow aim-down-sights time and no huge advantages over its contemporaries, we’d recommend sticking with the DL Q33 if you’re unsure. | |
| 3 | XPR-50 | Get to level 88 and this bad boy is waiting. Slightly faster at firing than the next fastest sniper, the M21 EBR, you’re trading off a bit of range and accuracy for it. The loss of accuracy combined with the increased fire rate is a bigger problem than you might expect, making it far more difficult to land those second and third shots after the initial one doesn’t kill. The advantage is that the version of the XPR-50 unlocked by default does have an added bonus. Weapon skills have a chance to add a bullet into the gun’s magazine, but that perk is only useful in extremely niche situations to the extent that you probably wouldn’t notice if it was gone. |
| Outlaw | The Outlaw should work as a great gun with its mobility and aim-down-sights time. However, even if you get those quick scopes, this thing is inconsistent at getting one-shot kills, unfortunately. It’ll be getting a buff soon though. | |
| M21 EBR | The M21 EBR doesn’t have nearly enough damage to compete with its fellow sniper rifles, unfortunately. You can pop foes in the head for one-shots at some ranges, but it’s far less reliable and not even its semi-automatic fire rate can make up for this. |
