Warzone 2 marksman rifle tier list

S tier

• Tempus Torrent
• EBR-14

A tier

• Lockwood MK2
• SA-B 330
• SP-R 208

B tier

• LM-S

Z tier

• TAQ-M

While the EBR-14 and the Tempus Torrent sit at the top of the list, they're closely followed by the Lockwood MK2 which shares several similarities to the top tier. However, the lack of damage sees it slip into A tier.

The next tier contains the LM-S. The semi-automatic rifle packs a deadly punch but the high levels of recoil are extremely difficult to control in long-distance combat.

Sitting at the bottom of the list is the TAQ-M. Despite its incredible damage, it's almost impossible to control in mid-range and long-distance combat even with a strong attachment combination equipped.
