With the Warzone Season 2 update, Raven Software have drastically buffed the XRK Stalker Sniper Rifle to make it “one-shot to the head within its Max Damage Range.”

MW3’s XRK Stalker now joins the KATT-AMR, which was previously the only MW3 Sniper Rifle capable of one-shotting enemies in Warzone. In addition to its one-shot kill capability, the weapon also received an improvement to its maximum damage range which is now 50.8 meters.

The XRK Stalker Sniper Rifle arrived with the Warzone Season 1 update.

This will allow players to use the fan-favorite Sniper which boasts great mobility and ADS speed compared to the KATT-AMR which will now also be able to eliminate enemies with just a shot to the head in Warzone.

While some may desire greater diversity for one-shot Sniper options, the change to the XRK Stalker is indeed promising for Sniper fans. It opens the door for potential additions of other one-shot Snipers in the future. However, it’s important to note that this is just speculation, so take it with a grain of salt.

In any case, be sure to use the best XRK Stalker loadout in Warzone to be able to destroy enemies during long-range combat in Season 2.
