What is the best class setup for the SA-B 50 in Modern Warfare 2?

The SA-B 50 is known for its speed and precision. Hence, the rifle shines when players use it aggressively. However, this also poses a problem. Since you'll be wielding it aggressively, you'll often find yourself surrounded by enemies. In such scenarios, having a gun that excels in close-quarter combat can be really helpful.

For this purpose, you can pick the FTAC Siege or the X13 Auto Pistols. Both are solid choices for a secondary that can be used as an SMG as well. When it comes to the Perk Package, you can equip Double Time, Battle Hardened, Fast Hands, and High Alert or Quick Fix. As for the Equipment, it is advised to go with Stun Grenades in the Tactical slot, and for the Lethal slot, you can pick the Throwing Knives or Semtex.

While these Perks and Equipment will certainly help your time in-game, they won't help you win more 1v1 gunfights. For that, you'll have to equip a few attachments that have an impact on the rifle. The section below covers the best attachments for the SA-B 50 in Modern Warfare 2.

Best attachments for the SA-B 50

The SA-B 50, being a Marksman Rifle, excels at mid and long-range combat, and is highly mobile. Hence, the attachments should be equipped to double down on these strengths and mitigate any major flaws that prevent the rifle from outshining its counterparts. Keeping its pros and cons in mind, the following attachments are recommended for the SA-B 50 in Modern Warfare 2:

• Laser: Schlager PEQ Box IV
• Underbarrel: FSS Sharkfin 90
• Bolt: FSS ST87 Bolt
• Stock: XRK Specter Mod
• Optic: DS Farsight 11

Schlager PEQ Box IV increases the aim down sight speed of the rifle, making it even more viable for aggressive plays.

FSS Sharkfin 90 improves the gun's idle aim stability, which is crucial for accuracy in long and mid-range fights.

FSS ST87 Bolt increases the rechambering speed of the gun. Since it is a bolt-action rifle, this attachment allows you to shoot quicker.

XRK Specter Mod is a mobility enhancer. It increases the aim down sight speed, sprint to fire speed, movement speed with the rifle equipped, and helps with hip fire recoil control.

DS Farsight 11 comes with two magnification levels, 4x and 8.7x. It allows you to toggle them based on your requirements and makes the rifle more versatile.
