3. Paladin HB50

It may seem slow and bulky when compared to the rest of the sniper rifles available in Black Ops 4, the the Paladin HB50 is without a doubt the most lethal weapon in its class. While many of the other long-distance rifles seem to be plagued by hitmarkers, the Paladin HB50 will more often than not take care of business with a single bullet.

The Paladin HB50 seems to harken back to the days of the overpowered Intervention and Barrett .50 cal from Modern Warfare 2. Sniping can be a pretty daunting task when most of the weapons in that category can’t reliably score single-shot kills, and its a shame that there aren’t any guns that can match the Paladin in that regard in Black Ops 4.

That said, this weapon doesn’t see much use in-game because a majority of the more popular maps and modes aren’t conducive to that style of gameplay, and it can be all to easy to sneak up on a stagnant sniper and score an easy headshot in recent Call of Duty titles. However, those looking to dawn a new era of YouTube quickscope montages may want to check this one out.
