Despite being overshadowed in the past, the AX-50 has risen up as a contender in Warzone Season 3, so here’s how you can get the most out of this powerful sniper.

When it comes to sniper loadouts in Warzone, the AX-50 is a strong pick that can pack one hell of a punch in the right hands.

Given that the Warzone and Vanguard Season 3 update completely rejigged the Sniper Rifle meta, the AX-50 is now a veritable beast in the right hands.

Not only that, the sniper received a hefty buff in the Reloaded patch and it’s now one of the most popular weapons in the game.

So, here’s a complete rundown on everything you need to build the optimal AX-50 loadout in Warzone.

The AX-50 has long been a reliable sniper in Warzone.

Attachments

  • Muzzle: Monolithic Suppressor
  • Barrel: 32.0″ Factory Barrel
  • Laser: Tac Laser
  • Stock: Singuard Arms Assassin
  • Rear Grip: Stippled Grip Tape

The default AX-50 is among the most accurate snipers in Warzone. Therefore, it’s not the end of the world if your setup drops this stat to boost other areas. That’s exactly what we’ve targeted with this build, improving ADS speed, Range, and Bullet Velocity at the expense of some accuracy.

To start out, the Singuard Arms Assassin Stock along with the Stippled Grip Tape will make the sniper slightly harder to control. However, their benefits can’t be understated. You’ll be quickscoping better than ever thanks to these two and the addition of a Tac Laser only further improves ADS speed.

Adding a bonus 35% Max Range to the weapon, along with 55% faster Bullet Velocity, we’ve gone with the Monolithic Suppressor and the 32.0″ Factory Barrel.

Combined, these attachments will boost the AX-50 in line with Warzone’s top snipers and keep you competitive from afar.

Best AX-50 Warzone Class: Perks & Equipment

By itself, the AX-50 does little to stand out. But with this setup, you’ll be tearing through lobbies in no timing.
  • Perk 1: E.O.D.
  • Perk 2: Overkill
  • Perk 3: Amped
  • Secondary: MP40
  • Lethal: Semtex
  • Tactical: Heartbeat Sensor

For Caldera, we believe it’s perfect to start out with E.O.D to sustain your involvement in the game as tons of explosives and throwables will be coming your way. Overkill is an easy choice as it allows us to choose the MP40 and Amped allows for quick switching between your two guns.

On top of that, the usual will do you here: there’s nothing better than the Semtex and Heartbeat Sensor duo to round out a devastating AX-50 Warzone loadout.

How to unlock the AX-50 in Warzone

In order to get your hands on the AX-50 Sniper Rifle, you just need to get your character up to Rank 37 to unlock the AX-50.

If you’re new to the game then just grind out some games, perhaps do a bit more Rebirth to get used to the feel of the game.

Alternative to the AX-50 Warzone loadout

Thanks to an ever-changing Warzone dynamic, thanks to Season 3, the AX-50 is now a top option to utilize, but it might not be for everyone.

If this turns out to be the case, maybe turn your attention to another Sniper Rifle such as the ZRG 20mm.
