Season 5 Reloaded has brought a lot of changes with it. Some of the former top performers like the Krig 6 are no longer the strongest option. Here are the best long range wepaons in Season 5 Reloaded.

QBZ-83
After another nerf to the Krig 6 the QBZ is now your best option for weapons with low recoil. The QBZ-83 is now the clearly superior choice. Build your weapon for long range in your choice of attachments. The Agency Suppressor and the Task Force Barrel increase your bullet speed and range. Combine them with the Field Agent Grip to reduce recoil and use an optic for clear vision. To top it off you should take a 60 Rnd magazine with you.
- Muzzle: Agency Suppressor
- Barrel: 15.5″ Task Force
- Underbarrel: Field Agent Grip
- Optic: Axial Arms 3x
- Magazine: STANAG 60 Rnd Drum
Fara 83
While the QBZ-83 is very precise it does not deal as much damage as the Fara does. If you prefer higher numbers you should use the Fara. The higher recoil just needs a bit getting used to but it is perfectly viable. However keeping the speed in mind you should pick a different grip for it.
- Muzzle: GRU Suppressor
- Barrel: 18.7” Spetsnaz RPK Barrel
- Optic: Axial Arms 3x
- Magazine: Spetsnaz 60 Rnd
- Grip: GRU Elastic Wrap
Stoner
The third strong weapon for Season 5 Reloaded is the Stoner. It has low recoil and high damage but also suffers from the drawbacks of LMGs. The weapon is slower and takes a long time to reload. Use a faster magazine to compensate for that but for the other attachments you can improve your capabilities over long range.
- Muzzle: Agency Suppressor
- Barrel: 21.8″ Task Force
- Underbarrel: Field Agent Grip
- Optic: Axial Arms 3x
- Magazine: Fast Mag
