Best Kar98k loadout for Warzone Season 3

When it comes to Call of Duty: Warzone's sniper rifles, the Kar98k is without a doubt one of the best in the game.

As far as bolt-action snipers, it had few equals but that all changed in Season 3, with the introduction of the Swiss K31 offering up a similar and capable rival.

It has had many asking if the Kar98k is still the best for that one-shot-kill potential and while the Swiss K31 is a very good gun, in our tests we found them to perform similarly with the Swiss K31 just narrowing beating out the Kar98k.

That doesn't mean you should be retiring gun, sniper rifles are all about familiarity and if you are comfortable with the Kar98k you shouldn't be quick to change but that doesn't mean you should rest on your laurels though and with Season 3 introducing changes to various attachments its worth making sure you have the best loadout possible.
