Ukrainian snipers play a crucial role in the ongoing conflict with Russia, operating as part of the infantry and employing rudimentary tactics in a high-tech battlefield. With the proliferation of drones and thermal sights, snipers must adapt their strategies to remain concealed. The number of snipers in Ukraine's military is unknown, but they are divided into marksmen and scout snipers. While snipers can have a significant impact on the battlefield, their actions come with risks, as their body heat and the discharge of their weapons can easily expose them. Snipers prioritize high-value targets, such as machine-gunners, officers, and enemy snipers. Killing is a calculated and intimate experience for snipers, who often wait for hours before taking a shot.
A Ukrainian sniper, identified as Sasha, revealed in an interview that he underwent 16 operations to recover from severe injuries sustained in battle, including damage to his chest, legs, and face. Despite visible remnants of his injuries, Sasha returned to the front lines. The sniper's unit, part of Ukraine's security services (SBU), aims to demoralize Russian troops through "sniper terror." While the unit claims to have inflicted substantial damage, no kill count was reported. Snipers prioritize activities like reconnaissance and relaying battlefield information to artillery units. The SBU snipers were seen using American-made Barrett sniper rifles, which have become popular among Ukrainian marksmen.

The update includes reduced delay time between circles, more ammo caches and Buy Stations, and the inclusion of UAV Towers. One-shot sniper rifles are returning, but will be limited to bolt-action snipers equipped with explosive ammunition.

Quality-of-life updates and information on Warzone's new Ranked Play mode will be arriving in the weeks to come.

Elite Ukrainian snipers are training in a makeshift firing range in eastern Ukraine, honing their skills in long-range firearms.
