Snipers Only was released four more times on May 5th, 2017 to May 8th, 2017[2], June 2nd, 2017 to June 5th, 2017[3], July 7th, 2017 to July 14th, 2017[4] and August 25th, 2017 to September 1st, 2017[5]. These variants also restricted the usage of Last Stand and killstreaks, as well as an addition to the HUD calculating the player's longest sniper shot, and the longest sniper shot of the current match. The mode was otherwise similar to its original iteration.

Lethal and tactical equipment, as well as Scorestreak weapons (such as the War Machine), will also be restricted for a pure snipers-only experience."
