Warzone Season 3 Reloaded drops in just a few more hours, and the Serpentine Perk is set to change the meta.<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve been playing much Warzone Season 3, you\u2019ll have likely noticed that one weapon class got some huge nerfs. We\u2019re talking, of course, about sniper rifles.<\/p>\n

Snipers were always a little too powerful on Caldera, with the map offering less cover in many areas than Verdansk used to have.<\/p>\n

But after the Season 3 nerfs, many long-range rifles became relatively unviable options. When you\u2019ve got assault rifles with zero recoil in Caldera, why bother taking a sniper that doesn\u2019t kill with a headshot?<\/p>\n

At the start of the season, we put together a list of the most viable snipers that can still one-shot-kill. Now, even some of those options may become obsolete with the new Serpentine Perk in Warzone.<\/p>\n

Activision<\/p>\n<\/figure>\nWhat Does Serpentine Do in Warzone?<\/h2>\n

The new Warzone Perk, Serpentine, is a game-changing loadout addition that reduces incoming damage from bullets, explosives, and fire by 20% while sprinting.<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re moving across open space in a hurry, this Perk could be the difference between life and death. After all, a sniper headshot that would normally kill you may now just be a mere inconvenience.<\/p>\n

Players that hit a Serpentine user will see a snake indicator pop-up, helping them understand why the enemy didn\u2019t go down. And considering how powerful the perk is, we expect to see that snake appear a lot.<\/p>\n

Is Warzone Serpentine Perk Overpowered?<\/h3>\n
Serpentine isn\u2019t necessarily too powerful but it\u2019s very, very strong. With such fast TTKs in Warzone\u2019s best weapons right now, taking 20% less damage when sprinting is excellent.<\/p>\n
However, to equip Serpentine, a Perk 1 option, you\u2019ll need to remove a perk like Double Time, Cold Blooded, or Quick Fix. EOD isn\u2019t as popular as it once was, but that\u2019s also a viable choice.<\/p>\n
