You can no longer use the Kar98k in Warzone because the original version of the game was shut down. However, this guide will be updated and will come in handy if the Kar98K ever returns.
With the integration of Black Ops Cold War weapons into Call of Duty: Warzone, bugged attachments were a reoccurring issue. One of the worst attachment bugs to date was that most Cold War long-range optics would not show a glint when aiming down sights, meaning an enemy could be locked onto you without you ever being able to see them.
While it was patched several times, it still cropped up from time to time including with the Modern Warfare-era sniper scopes instead. This means that the most popular and arguably best sniper Warzone had to offer at the time – the Kar98k – could be run with a high-zoom scope with zero glint. It was a very tough time to be playing one of the best battle royale games as you could be assassinated across the map before you could even blink. However, with this version of Warzone over, both the exploit and the Kar98K are no longer available.
Warzone no glint sniper scope
While ADSing with a Variable Zoom Scope attached to any Modern Warfare weapon, no glint would show up for enemy players.
This affected weapons like the HDR, Rytec AMR, and crucially the very popular Kar98k – all of which could have the Variable Zoom Scope attached. While using low-magnification optics would allow you to snipe away with no glint beforehand, this bug meant you could get even better zoom without revealing your location.
Kar98k no glint Warzone loadout
The best no-glint Warzone loadout used the Kar98k:
- Monolithic Suppressor
- Singuard Custom 27.6 Barrel
- Variable Zoom Scope
- FTAC Sport Comb Stock
- Granulated Grip Tape
For a long-range no-glint Kar98k build, of course, you needed the Variable Zoom Scope. However, this impacted your ADS speed, so we recommended attaching the FTAC Sport Comb stock to counteract it.
This in turn would bring down your aiming stability – which was important for any long-distance sniper. Popping on the Granulated Grip Tape solved that though as it offered a much-needed boost to aiming stability.
Similarly to our best Kar98k loadout, we recommended pairing this with a close-range shredder. Our builds of the MAC-10 or the FFAR did the trick very well, and that’s what we used to use when this setup was available.
For perks, we recommended the age-old Cold Blooded, Overkill, and whichever you preferred between Amped or Tracker. These optioned ruled Warzone at the time, so it was a no-brainer, especially for this loadout.
Likewise, a Heartbeat Sensor and Thermite Grenades or C4 also came in handy for the closing stages of a match and any close-range situation.
Well, that was the best no-glint Warzone Kar98k loadout that we used to use back in the ‘glory days’ of broken sniper scopes. While it’s been patched, there’s certainly a possibility that a similar exploit could return.
