Call Of Duty: Black Ops 4 - Ranking All 20 Primary Weapons
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.
