Season 1 Reloaded brings a heavy content offering for those waiting for Season 2 to roll around, which will inevitably introduce Ranked Play and more in Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 and Warzone. From the debut of Yakei and additional Multiplayer content to a brand-new Zombies challenge with Zarya Cosmodrome Survival, the mid-season update has definitely come out swinging.

Several Fallout-themed events have also rolled out for Season 1 Reloaded, one of which introduces a new Sniper Rifle for players to grind for. Players can unlock the Hawker HX through the Quantum Exchange Event, which is actually the Ballista from Black Ops 2. Here are the best meta loadouts for the Hawker HX, including a guaranteed one-shot build for Warzone.

This first build for the Hawker HX is centered around speeding up the weapon’s handling attributes, making it one of the best and most reliable quick-scoping weapons in your arsenal. This is thanks to the increases in aim down sight speed and sprint to fire speed, which see boosts of 19% and 15%, respectively.

Movement speed across the board has also been increased, along with reload quickness, seeing a 36% improvement, and the weapon’s fire rate receiving a 19% boost. See below for the best build.

Next up is a Hawker HX Warzone build, one that has already become the best Sniper Rifle for the long-range meta. Much like many Sniper Rifles before it, the Hawker HX can be built to become a one-shot headshot machine at any range, but only if players make use of a particular attachment.

The build below provides infinite one-shot headshot range and increases bullet velocity by 35%, bringing it to 1219.4 m/s. Reload speed has also been improved by 36%, along with a 4% increase in sprint to fire speed. The only negatives of this build are that aim down sight speed and sprint to aim down sight speed are reduced by 8%, while flinch resistance takes a hit with a 20% reduction.
