The Return of the Kar98 Sniper Rifle in Call of Duty: Warzone

The highly anticipated return of the Kar98 sniper rifle to Call of Duty: Warzone is all but confirmed. The Call of Duty team has dropped numerous hints and teasers about the rifle's comeback, and fans are eagerly awaiting its reappearance in the game.

The Call of Duty team is known for teasing new updates, prompting fans to scrutinize every detail. A teaser for Warzone Season 4 has been released, featuring a series of quick cuts between various images, assets, and themes expected in the new season. Among these images, fans immediately recognized the receiver of a distinctive sniper rifle.

This rifle has been identified as the Kar98, making it almost certain that it will return in Season 4 of Call of Duty: Warzone. Further fueling speculation, the Call of Duty Twitter account responded to a late March post where a fan asked if the Kar98 would return, given that a map from Warzone's early days had made a comeback. The reply was a simple "K." Additionally, the team sent packages to Call of Duty content creators and streamers containing a toy car with the number 98 on it. The packaging included a scratch-off section revealing the letter "K."

The Kar98 was extremely popular in the early days of Call of Duty: Warzone, with fans spending hours perfecting their loadouts. A well-designed loadout offered steady and quick aiming, resulting in devastating one-shot kills for skilled players. The rifle has appeared in several Call of Duty games, most recently in Call of Duty: Vanguard, but it was the Modern Warfare version that made its way into Warzone. After its removal, fans missed it so much that they tried to recreate the rifle using different guns and parts available in the game.

Warzone Players Concerned Over Which Kar Will Return

While fans are excited about the Kar98's return, there is some anxiety about whether the rifle will function as it did in Modern Warfare rather than the Vanguard version. Each version has its own strengths and weaknesses, including the no-glint Kar98 glitch present in the original Warzone. Competitive players, who rely on precise weapon tuning and loadouts for success, are particularly hoping for the return of the Modern Warfare (2019) version.

Season 4 of Call of Duty: Warzone begins on May 29, and players will be watching closely to see which version of the Kar98 makes its comeback.
