The LR 7.62 is a bolt-action sniper that trades handling speed for raw ballistic performance — 920m/s bullet velocity and a 306-damage headshot out to 76 meters. Here's how to build it for Warzone.

LR 7.62 Overview
Currently ranked Very Good on our meta tier list, the LR 7.62 fires at 39 RPM with a base ADS time of 600ms and a 5-round magazine. That headshot damage — 306 up close, 300 from 76m, and 297 beyond 102m — means it can down a fully-plated operator (300 HP) with a single headshot at any practical range in Warzone.
The tradeoff is clear: 600ms ADS is on the slower side for aggressive sniping, and 70.11 vertical recoil units make follow-up shots punishing if you miss the first. The 5-round magazine also limits sustained engagements.
Best LR 7.62 Loadout (Rush Build)
This build prioritizes faster handling to make the LR 7.62 more responsive without gutting its long-range strengths.
| Slot | Attachment | |---|---| | Barrel | Reinforced Barrel | | Rear Grip | Quickdraw Grip | | Stock | Heavy Stock | | Laser | Target Laser | | Fire Mods | Rapid Fire |
Why These Attachments
- Quickdraw Grip + Target Laser — The two biggest ADS improvements in this build. With a base ADS of 600ms, you need every frame you can shave off if you want to challenge snipers who spot you at the same time.
- Heavy Stock — Adds stability to reduce that 70.11 vertical recoil, making your scope settle faster after scoping in and improving accuracy on follow-up shots.
- Reinforced Barrel — Preserves the LR 7.62's bullet velocity advantage. At 920m/s base, this rifle already leads most bolt-actions in BV; the Reinforced Barrel helps maintain that edge when other attachments might chip away at range performance.
- Rapid Fire — Bumps the effective fire rate above the base 39 RPM. On a bolt-action with a 5-round mag, cycling the bolt faster is the difference between finishing a down and getting traded.
What This Build Doesn't Do
There's no extended magazine here. You're still working with 5 rounds, so shot discipline matters. If you're holding a power position and expect multiple targets, consider swapping the Target Laser for an Extended Mag — but you'll feel the ADS penalty.
Damage Profile Breakdown
The LR 7.62's damage values across its three range brackets:
| Range | Head | Chest | Stomach | Legs | |---|---|---|---|---| | 0–76m | 306 | 112 | 102 | 100 | | 76–102m | 300 | 110 | 100 | 99 | | 102m+ | 297 | 108 | 99 | 98 |
The critical takeaway: headshots down at every range. A 300 HP operator goes down to a single headshot even in the 76–102m bracket (300 damage). Beyond 102m the headshot damage is 297 — still enough to crack plates and leave the target one shot from any follow-up.
Chest shots require two hits to kill at all ranges (224 total at close, 216 at long), which puts your two-shot TTK at 1538ms. That's slow, so headshots aren't optional — they're the entire reason to run this rifle.
How It Compares to Other Snipers
The Hawker HX currently sits in the Meta tier, making it the top-ranked sniper right now. The LR 7.62's Very Good ranking puts it a step below, but its 920m/s bullet velocity is a standout stat that can make long-range leads more forgiving.
The AMR Mod 4 is ranked Good — one tier below the LR 7.62. If you're choosing between those two, the LR 7.62 has the edge in our data.

The FJX Imperium also sits at Good tier, so the LR 7.62 outranks both MW3-era bolt-actions in our current rankings.
When to Run the LR 7.62
This rifle favors a passive, long-range playstyle. You're looking for:
- Elevated positions with long sightlines where the 920m/s BV shines
- Trios and Quads where teammates can follow up on your cracks
- Pairings with an SMG or aggressive AR to cover the close range you can't contest at 600ms ADS
If you push buildings or rotate through tight areas frequently, this isn't the right primary. But for holding lanes and opening fights with headshots, the LR 7.62 delivers.
Final Verdict
The LR 7.62 earns its Very Good tier with a combination of high bullet velocity and one-shot headshot capability at all Warzone ranges. The Rush build listed above shaves ADS time and improves bolt cycling without sacrificing the ballistic profile that makes this sniper worth running.
