Best Tsarkov 7.62 Warzone Gear

Marksman rifles in Call of Duty: Warzone have a unique charm that makes them incredibly satisfying to use with the right construction, and this Tsarkov 7.62 loadout is no exception.

While sniper rifles aren’t typically the most common weapons in Warzone, weapons like the DMR, MTZ Interceptor, and Tempus Torrent have all dominated in recent years. Clearly they have the potential to be top tier weapons, but only if you use the right build.

To help you get the most out of the Black Ops 6 pistol, we’ve put together the best Tsarkov 7.62 gear, including perks and equipment. Using this equipment, you can easily land headshots and take down enemies as this is a powerful precision weapon.

Best Tsarkov 7.62 Gear

• Optics: Dobrich 4x
• Muzzle: Compensator
• Walk: Reinforced barrel
• Underrun: Precision handguard
• Fire mods: Recoil springs

Two of the most important stats you can improve on the Tsarkov 7.62 are damage range and bullet speed. The Reinforced barrel is the only attachment that improves both, making it an obvious choice for this build.

You also want to be able to fire the BO6 marksman rifle as quickly as possible without having to worry about recoil. This can be achieved by both the Compensator And Recoil springsallowing you to concentrate on aiming rather than checking every shot.

Obviously this is a precision weapon, so a meta-optic is a must. More specifically, you’ll want to use a medium to long range optic such as the Dobrich 4x to make it as easy as possible to land shots. Without this, you will have a hard time defeating other weapons within the Tsarkov 7.62’s maximum damage range of 52 meters.

Finish the build by equipping the equipment Precision handguardan under-barrel mount that improves idle stability and horizontal recoil control. These statistical changes make it much easier to land follow-up shots with the Tsarkov 7.62, which is a must as it is only a triple kill at best.

Benefits, equipment and wildcard

• Advantage 1: Survivor
• Advantage 2: Cold-blooded
• Advantage 3: Bird’s eye
• Wild card: Exaggerated
• Deadly: Impact grenade
• Tactical: Flashbang

It is essential that you take the first shot with the Tsarkov 7.62 because it will recoil violently if you are on the other side of the gunfire. The Survivor perk helps with this by improving the speed of health recovery, allowing you to reach and pre-target enemy players before they can.

As is the case with any precision weapon, Cold-blooded is definitely worth using with this marksman rifle. It counters Alertness, allowing you to line up shots without having to worry about others jumping around and dodging before you’ve even started shooting. This works well together Bird’s eyea perk that improves UAVs, allowing you to find other teams and position yourself accordingly.

For wildcards, Exaggerated allows the use of a second primary weapon, which is great on a weapon like the Tsarkov 7.62, which is not overly versatile. While it can dominate at long range, the sniper rifle is useless at close range, so being able to carry an SMG or a mobile assault rifle is very useful.

A Impact grenade is a type of deadly equipment that explodes as soon as it comes into contact with someone or something. This is useful for quickly finishing off downed players and providing an emergency explosive if necessary. Finally one Flashbang is always useful, as you can throw it to blind multiple enemies, allowing you to swoop in for easy kills or retreat to a safe position without being noticed.

Tsarkov 7.62 pros and cons

Where is Tsarkov 7.62 in the Warzone meta?

The Tsarkov 7.62 is not a meta weapon due to its average TTK. If you’re doing straight headshots, it can technically kill in as little as 600ms, but this isn’t practical most of the time, and there’s not much point in using it instead of a semi-auto sniper rifle at that point anyway. Furthermore, the time to kill is not much faster than that of an assault rifle, which is easier to use in a wider range of situations.

Yet it can still be competitive in the right hands; you just need the mechanical skill to master the recoil. The first shot jumps up a bit, but the following shots barely move. With practice you can laser enemies from miles away and even chain several kilos together in one magazine. The Tsarkov’s bullet speed and damage range are also high, increasing its capabilities as a precision weapon.

It may not be the most meta pistol in the world, but the Tsarkov 7.62 is very satisfying to use, and that’s reason enough to run with it. Sometimes you just want to have fun and blast away, land headshots and watch enemy squads fall without knowing what hit them.

That’s possible unlock the Tsarkov 7.62 in Warzone by reaching level 22after which it will be available for use on custom equipment. It can also be unlocked by acquiring a Tsarkov 7.62 blueprint, as a reward, through the store or through the Battle Pass.
