So, I was playing Warzone the other day and trying to figure out which gun to use. I’m not a big fan of sniper rifles, they’re too slow for me. But assault rifles? Sometimes they just don’t pack enough punch at long range. That’s when I stumbled upon this whole marksman rifle category. It’s like a mix of both, you know?
First, I went online and looked around to see what other people were saying. A lot of folks were talking about this one gun, the SP-R 208. They said it’s the best one in Warzone 2 right now. So I thought, alright, let’s give this a shot.

I jumped into a game and started messing around with the SP-R 208. And man, were those people right! This thing hits hard. It’s got some serious damage, especially if you can land those headshots. It felt really good to use, not too slow, but still powerful enough to take people out from a distance.
- Tried out the SP-R 208: This gun became my go-to. It felt really good to use, especially in those mid-to-long-range fights.
But I didn’t stop there. I also tested out a couple of other marksman rifles, the Lockwood MK2 and the EBR-14. The Lockwood MK2, it’s kind of a classic. I saw some guides online talking about it being a top choice in Season 4 of Resurgence Ranked. I gave it a go, and yeah, it’s pretty solid. It’s a lever-action, so it’s a bit slower than the SP-R 208, but still packs a punch.
- Gave the Lockwood MK2 a whirl: It’s slower, but still a good choice, especially if you like that lever-action feel.
The EBR-14, though, that one’s a bit different. It’s semi-automatic, so you can fire it pretty fast. It’s not as powerful as the other two, but it’s more forgiving if you miss a shot. I found it to be pretty fun to use, especially when I was feeling a bit more aggressive.
- Experimented with the EBR-14: It’s faster and more forgiving, but not as strong. Good for a more aggressive playstyle.
My Takeaway
After playing around with these, I’d say the SP-R 208 is definitely my favorite. I just started using it and It’s the perfect balance of power and speed for me. But hey, that’s just my experience. You might like the Lockwood MK2 or the EBR-14 better. It all depends on how you like to play. My advice? Try them all out and see which one feels best for you. That’s what I did, and now I’ve got my go-to marksman rifle for Warzone. Good luck and happy hunting!
