the sniping community in Call of Duty is a very passionate bunch of people but do they really
know their Cod history did you ever really try every single sniper or did you just gravitate to
the popular ones the ones that were meta well today we're going to take a look at 10 sniper
rifles that I think were super underrated so drop a like and let me know if you actually used any of
these and we're gonna start off with one in Black Ops 2. the SVU as from Black Ops 2. that's right
the semi-auto sniper that was unlocked by default back in the best Call of Duty multiplayer of all
time and it was widely looked down upon because it was spammy plus with snipers like the DSR and
the ballista it was kind of hard to justify taking the SVU into battle with you but did you actually
ever try it because it was kind of broken busted seriously it had extremely low recoil pretty solid
rate of fire so you could hit follow-up shots pretty easy and on top of all that it was always
a one shot kill to the head and a two-shot kill everywhere so with the low recoil oil and barely
any idle sway it was really easy to just sit back pop people from a distance and go about
your business it wasn't flashy it wasn't dignified like the ballista of the DSR but it was actually
kind of fun to use I think people slept on it because they automatically assumed that it was
a Spam weapon Adam or not the Barrett 50 cal from Modern Warfare 3. now it appeared in all three of
the original modern warfare games so while the first two versions were super popular the Modern
Warfare 3 version is often looked down upon now compared to its older brothers the MW3 Barrett was
much heavier and you really felt that if you were running around trying to play aggressively in that
game but there were also a handful of attachments and perks that completely removed the problem it
let you take advantage of the fire rate and the Damage despite being semi-automatic it was still
a very reliable One-Shot kill to the chest and above if you were running perks like Quick Draw
and sleight of hand and if you were running the speed weapon proficiency you could make it feel
more like a classic Modern Warfare 2 version I like this version of the Barrett but I can
totally see why a lot of people passed right over it especially because it was competing with the
MSR at the time at number eight yes I'm gonna put a dragon off on this list please don't flame me
the dragging off from Modern Warfare 3 I have a habit of crapping on this gun whenever I get the
chance but I'm gonna be honest with everybody and myself and admit that the Modern Warfare 3 version
of the drag was actually not bad unlike other versions this one felt more like a marksman rifle
and if you threw an ACOG on it you could basically use it like a foul but unlike the foul was
actually a pretty reliable one shot kill to the upper body which made it pretty intimidating to
go up against it wasn't popular certainly wasn't a good choice for traditional sniping but if you
were someone who liked semi-auto spam weapons and you could deal with that recoil it was pretty good
for that play style now whenever I talk crap about the dragon off there's always a handful of people
in the comments tell me the Modern Warfare 3 version was underrated so this is my Olive Branch
to each one of you at number seven the l-115 from Call of Duty ghosts there were two bolt
action snipers in COD ghost and while one of them was extremely popular and almost unanimously used
by the sniping Community the other one constantly just sat in the shadows the l115 would cost you
seven squad points remember those it was actually tied for being the strongest sniper in the game
in terms of damage per shot had a huge One-Shot kill range the accuracy was solid so why wasn't
it more popular well the fire rate was crappy 40 rounds per minute so if you missed your first shot
you were almost certainly going to be punished for it it also didn't have the best Mobility it didn't
have the best handling speeds it wasn't a slow weapon but it was noticeably slower than the fan
favorite USR and for that reason it wasn't popular but it was still good it deserved more love from
the COD ghost sniping Community than it got the USR may have been the better overall weapon but
that doesn't mean the l115 was worth passing over every single time at number six the r700 in COD
4. this was a sniper that I think gets too much hate the fact that the r700 gets is pretty similar
to the fact that the l115 got in ghosts I mean if you think about it there was only two bolt action
snipers in cod4 those being the m40a3 which was iconic and the r700 which was passed over the
M40 fast smooth versatile r700 slow heavy bit more powerful basically the M40 was good for aggressive
sniping and traditional sniping while the r700 was only good for traditional but what's wrong with
that nothing may have more idle swaying recoil but it was incredibly reliable thanks to that
high damage and the generous damage multipliers on the game hitting someone with the r700 was almost
a guaranteed kill no matter what specially if you were running stopping power so if you were someone
who liked to sit back and play a little slow or more methodical with your sniper it's probably a
good choice may not have been as versatile or influential as the m40a3 but I don't to think
I I just don't think it deserved the hate that it got at number five the svg-100 and Black Ops
3. now Black Ops 3 had a really difficult sniping time due to the removal aim assist and while most
players gravitated toward the Locust the 100 it deserves more love here it is futuristic weapon
featured an awesome animation that would automatically load the next bullet for you
compared to the locus it was much slower it was much heavier but also much stronger which made it
virtually always a One-Shot kill now unfortunately the locus was also almost always a One-Shot kill
it was way faster so people just used it instead maybe I just like the animation too much but I
always thought people slept on the SVG I mean can any other Black Ops 3 players back me up with this
at number four the Widowmaker in infinite Warfare a two round burst bolt action sniper
yeah now when the infinite Warfare beta dropped people didn't know what to do or think about the
Widowmaker because it was weird it also didn't help that the sniping in infinite Warfare was
very difficult there really wasn't much of a sniping scene in the game at all but you know what
I actually liked it very powerful super consistent so even though it was almost impossible to snipe
aggressively in the game a weapon like this was actually really good for holding down objectives
especially from a distance and that's got to be worth something so what did you think why do you
think the sniping Community completely disappeared in infinite Warfare I have my own theories but I'd
love to hear yours at number three the lever action in COD World War II there were so many
snipers in this game it's hard to call any of them particularly bad but the lever action never got
as much love as it probably should have compared to other snipers in COD World War II it fired a
bit faster but it also had much less consistent One-Shot kill range but it's okay the fire rate
made up for in my opinion if you were Aiming High you were going to get insta kills anyway
the lever action also had this pretty awesome firing sound and had some really cool animations
that made you feel like a total boss going from Target to Target so with the sheer
number of sniper rifles in the game it was easy to overlook this one but if you're still playing Cod
World War II for some reason I'd give the lever action one more go in the grand scheme of things
I call it slept on at number two the EBR 800 in infinite Warfare I know I already mentioned an
IW gun on this list but I think the EBR deserves a little bit of love as well it was a sniper AR
hybrid weapon and it was actually solid in both worlds which usually doesn't happen with hybrids
the sniper mode was semi-automatic functioned similar to the Barrett 50 cal while the AR version
had a moderate fire rate pretty competitive time to kill now I'm not really sure why Infinity Ward
decided to blend a sniper an assault rifle but that kind of Versatility was pretty cool to have
in your pocket since both versions were actually effective and viable I thought it would have been
more popular I mean I think this guns lack of field usage came down to the sniping scene
being basically non-existent in the game but if the sniping had been more popular or if the game
had been more popular itself I think you would have heard more about the EBR you're not number
one today The Outlaw from Black Ops 4. this is the definition of a love it or hate it gun The Outlaw
had one of the fastest fire rates of any bolt action weapon in COD history but the trade-off
was extremely small one shot kill range basically you had to hit someone in the neck or the head
in order to insta-kill and since Black Ops 4 had such Dynamic gameplay that made it really hard to
use you just couldn't take the outlaw out unless you were willing to put in the time to actually
get really good with it and that pushed a lot of people straight away especially when they could
just use the koshka or the Paladin instead but if you did put the time into the outlaw you could hit
some of the most ridiculous sniper Clips in COD history the fire rate was absurd the one shot
kill potential made it extremely deadly if you knew what you were doing every once in a while I
would see people arguing on Twitter over whether the outlaw was great or awful I don't think the
community will ever agree but if you ask me I think it was underrated at least may have
been super difficult to use but it was well worth the time you put into it and the clips people hit
just go search on YouTube seriously and there you have it the most underrated snipers and
history let me know one that was deserving of love that did not make the list and I'll see you soon
