Best XRK Stalker Warzone loadout: Class setup, attachments, perks, more

The XRK Stalker has become a great option in Warzone following a series of changes, with the sniper rifle now being one of the best marksman weapons you can use.

Snipers in Warzone are seriously strong, causing the meta to be largely defined by them, especially on larger maps like Urzikstan. There are several snipers to choose from that are all effective, but the XRK Stalker is arguably the most underrated.

While the Kar98k dominates medium range and the KATT-AMR can one shot from anywhere, it’s the XRK Stalker that provides the most balanced stats of any gun in its class. It may not excel in any one particular area, but this rendition of the real-world CDX-50 is the most versatile sniper rifle available.

This has resulted in its becoming increasingly popular, as more and more players are beginning to use the XRK Stalker. If you intend to join the party and see what the hype is all about, you’ll want to be using a meta loadout for sure.

Best XRK Stalker Warzone loadout

• Muzzle: Sonic Suppressor XL
• Barrel: Fission 60 Barrel
• Laser: SL Razorhawk Laser Light
• Ammunition: .50 Cal High Grain Rounds
• Bolt: XRK Stalker Light Bolt

Dexerto

Since the XRK Stalker is a sniper rifle, adding the Sonic Suppressor XL is a great option to add damage range and bullet velocity, maximizing the distance that it remains effective.

This continues with the Fission 60 Barrel, with an even bigger increase to the weapon’s range and bullet velocity. It’ll also mitigate the aiming idle sway, meaning you won’t have to rely as much on holding your breath to land headshots.

The SL Razorhawk Laser Light massively increases two key handling stats, including a 9% boost to ADS Speed. Being able to scope in faster is useful as it gives enemy players less time to evade shots.

Next up is the XRK Stalker Light Bolt, which hastens rechambering speeds by a staggering 50%, greatly increasing the XRK Stalker’s fire rate. Finally, the .50 Cal High Grain Rounds improve the weapon’s damage range and bullet velocity without adding any significant drawbacks.

Best XRK Stalker class: Perks and Equipment

• Perk 1: Sleight of Hand
• Perk 2: Double Time
• Perk 3: Quick Fix
• Perk 4: Resolute
• Lethal: Throwing Knife
• Tactical: Smoke Grenade

Dexerto

Sleight of Hand is a must-use with this sniper due to its rather slow reload speed. Equally, the XRK Stalker isn’t the most mobile weapon in the world, so the improved tactical sprint Double Time provides makes it a great choice.

Using Quick Fix will help you keep your health topped up when it matters most. As a sniper, you will often have people shooting back to suppress you, so being able to get your health back in these tense moments is important.

Resolute speeds up how fast you can sprint after getting hit by an enemy shot. This boost will often help you survive an otherwise lethal encounter, especially in situations where you are in an open area with little to no cover.

Having the Throwing Knife with you can be the difference between life and death thanks to its high damage, and the Smoke Grenade is a great option to hide your position when you are under fire or need to resurrect a downed teammate.

How to unlock the XRK Stalker

The XRK Stalker is unlocked in Warzone by activating it in the Armory and then completing 3 Daily Challenges or winning three matches.

Best XRK Stalker alternative in Warzone

The KATT-AMR is another one-shot sniper that sees a lot of use in Warzone. While has slower handling than the XRK Stalker, the KATT-AMR can one shot down at all ranges making it a true marksman weapon.

There are plenty of powerful Sniper Rifles that are dominating Warzone’s current meta, so be sure to check out the meta loadouts for the Kar98k and MORS to rack up kills with ease.
