Overview

  • The HDR sniper rifle has been reintroduced in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and Warzone Season 3, earning meta status for its exceptional long-range power.
  • Key attachments like the Gain-Twist Barrel and Quickdraw Grip enhance bullet velocity and aim down sight speed, critical for effective gameplay.
  • In Warzone, the HDR's one-shot headshot potential at any range makes it a formidable choice, though players must pair it with a secondary weapon for close-quarters combat.
  • In Black Ops 6 multiplayer, players are experimenting with quickscoping builds using attachments like the Combat Stock and Strelok Laser to improve mobility and accuracy.
  • The HDR is available as a free unlock on Page 3 of the Season 3 Battle Pass, making it accessible to all players without requiring a premium purchase.
