The primary objective of building a good Victus XMR loadout in Modern Warfare 2 is maximizing its strengths and minimizing its weaknesses. Keeping this in mind, the following attachments are recommended:

• Muzzle: Nilsound 90 Silencer
• Laser: VLK LZR 7MW
• Optic: SP-X 80 6.6x
• Rear Grip: Bruen Q900 Grip
• Stock: XRK Rise 50

Here's how these attachments will affect the weapon:

The Nilsound 90 Silencer boosts the rifle's damage range and bullet velocity, making it more effective at range. It also smoothens the recoil but is unnoticeable as the gun is a bolt-action rifle.

VLK LZR 7MW improves the handling stats. It increases the aim-down-sight speed and the sprint-to-fire speed, making it ideal for aggression. The attachments also aid in stabilizing the aim, which makes the rifle more accurate at long ranges.

SP-X 80 6.6x is a minimalistic optical sight for the Victus. The optic comes with a 6.6x magnification level, which is ideal for the maps of MW2. It allows players to see enemies clearly without losing out on visual cues in the vicinity.

The Bruen Q900 Grip further helps in improving handling statistics by boosting the aim-down-sight and sprint-to-fire speeds.

XRK Rise 50 is a mobility booster that enhances the sprint speed with the Sniper Rifle equipped. It also increases the aim-down-sight speed, which is a bonus.
