What To Expect From The ZRG 20mm Sniper Rifle?
When outlining all the content coming to Black Ops Cold War and Call of Duty: Warzone during Season 2 Reloaded, Activision revealed that the ZRG 20mm would be available soon. Here’s how the publisher describes the new sniper rifle:
“Boasting a higher bullet velocity than any other weapon in its class, the ZRG 20mm sniper rifle is built to excel in extremely long ranges. Operators will appreciate its fast reload speed and its ability to eliminate enemies with a single shot to the head, chest, or shoulders.”
