Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is currently running in the Season 4 Reloaded patch. The new update brought along a long list of playable content, including three new operator bundles, and a new shotgun alongside transitioning Vondel to the battle royale game mode. Despite all the recent adjustments, the SP-X 80 remains one of the best sniper rifles in this multiplayer shooter title.
The Call of Duty playerbase has always enjoyed the presence of a sniper meta. Modern Warfare 2’s SP-X 80 has maintained its place as a lethal and efficient choice for the primary weapon slot. The gun entertains a variety of players as it can be used with different builds, maximizing agility and accuracy.
This article will highlight the best SP-X 80 setup for Modern Warfare 2.
What is the best build for the SP-X 80 in Modern Warfare 2?
Activision has been strategically deploying regular updates to stabilize its latest series and provide a fair playing ground for all players. However, the developers are tasked with implementing weapon and gameplay adjustments for a balanced experience. The SP-X 80 is one of the few snipers that can be used in Modern Warfare 2’s fast-paced environment as well as in the battle royale.
The SP-X 80 primarily benefits from a weapon build that can increase its agility and accuracy by boosting aim-down-sight (ADS) and sprint-to-fire speed, recoil control, damage range, and movement speed among others. The sniper is quite fast and has the potential of being built like a movement-based weapon without compromising its damage output.
What are the best attachments for the SP-X 80?
The SP-X 80 is a formidable gun that can eliminate enemies with a single shot, but also has a few quirks that can put players in a dangerous situation. Here is a build that can be used to make the most out of it.
Recommended build and tuning:
- Barrel: 18.5” Bryson LR Factory (0.47 vertical, -0.4 horizontal)
- Laser: FSS OLE-V Laser (-0.5 vertical, -51 horizontal)
- Stock: PVZ-890 Tac Stock (-4 vertical, 2.4 horizontal)
- Rear Grip: Schlager Match Grip (-1 vertical, -0.45 horizontal)
- Bolt: FSS ST87 Bolt
The 18.5” Bryson LR Factory barrel increases the ADS speed and hip-recoil control. The FSS OLE-V Laser increases ADS speed, sprint-to-fire speed, and aiming stability. The PVZ-890 Tac stock boosts the crouch movement speed, sprint speed, and ADS speed.
The Schlager Match rear grip increases sprint-to-fire speed and ADS speed. The FSS ST87 bolt attachment increases rechambering speed.
