Once upon a time, the Kar98k ruled the roost in Warzone. It was the number one rifle at almost any range, capable of one-tap downing enemies across vast distances. It has been a while since the weapon was seen in the Call of Duty space, but guess what? It’s back. Fans worldwide rejoiced as this monumental marksman rifle resurfaced in Call of Duty – and now we’re here to bring you the best Kar98k build for Warzone and Modern Warfare 3.

Despite being invented way back in 1935, the Kar98k is a staple in modern first-person shooters. It’s one of the most reliable rifles in history, and it always has a place in a WWII-themed shooter. It was recently reintroduced to Call of Duty Warzone and brought into Modern Warfare 3 for the first time and fans are already loving it.

How to Unlock the Kar98K in Call of Duty

If you want to unlock the Kar98k, you’ll need to do one of two things:

1. Invest time and effort into the Season 4 battle pass, grinding through the levels and earning tokens to rank up and outright unlock the Kar98k, or;
2. Use real-world cash or the BlackCell battle pass upgrade to boost your way to the Kar98k without worrying about expending extra effort

It’s worth noting that to achieve this Kar98k build we’ve listed below, you may still need to grind for certain attachments.

Best Kar98k Build in Warzone and MW3

It’s official, this is the most-wanted weapon in the Season 4 update. Here’s the best Kar98k build you can run in Warzone right now:

• Muzzle: Sonic Suppressor
• Barrel: Prazisionsgewehr 762 Long Barrel
• Laser: SL Razorhawk Laser Light
• Optic: SP-X 80 6.6x
• Ammunition: 7.92 High Grain Rounds

Let’s start at the top and work our way down. First, you’ve got the suppressor, which is basically a set standard for Warzone players and it’ll keep you off the mini-map. The 762 Long Barrel provides better damage range, which is immensely valuable if you’re a ‘big battle royale’ gamer. With the 7.92 High Grain Rounds, you’re boosting your bullet velocity and damage over a longer range, which is perfect for any budding marksman.

Finally, you’ve got the technical items – which might seem bizarre on a weapon that’s almost 100 years old.

The SP-X 80 6.6x optic is one of the best sniper scopes in Call of Duty. It has a remarkable sight picture and it doesn’t have that slow an ADS time – if you usually have trouble picking out an accurate shot at a longer range, you’ll fix all your problems with this top-tier optic. Then, to boost that ADS speed further, you’ll slap on the Razorhawk Laser Light. That’s partly what makes it perfect for Modern Warfare 3 as much as it is for Warzone.

There you have it – the best Kar98k build in Call of Duty right now.
