Best SP-X 80 Warzone 2 loadout: Class setup, attachments, Perks
ActivisonPlayers discovered a one-shot kill SP-X 80 loadout, vaulting the underrated sniper rifle back into contention. You need the best possible loadout to make the most of the mobile rifle.
Infinity Ward brought back one-shot sniping in Season 3. The MCPR-300, Victus XMR, and FJX Imperium could take down enemies with one bullet if they had explosive ammunition.
Season 3’s explosive ammunition change essentially made any other sniper rifle irrelevant. The Signal 50 still remained somewhat relevant, but nothing else warranted a selection besides those four.
Everything changed in Season 4, as Warzone 2 community members crowned the SP-X 80 as the “Kar98 2.0” after discovering a one-shot kill loadout. Let’s jump right into what you need to know about the newly discovered overpowered SP-X 80 loadout.

Attachments
- Barrel: 22.5’ Elevate-11
- Laser: FSS OLE-V Laser
- Ammunition: .300 Incendiary
- Stock: Max DMR Precision
- Rear Grip: Schlager Match
Mobility and speed set the SP-X 80 apart from other one-shot kill sniper rifles. We decided to lean into that and maximize its effectiveness in shorter-range engagements, perfect for Vondel or Ashika Island.
The 22.5′ Elevate-11 barrel improves ADS and movement speed at the cost of recoil, damage range, and bullet velocity.
Along a similar thought process, the FSS OLE-V Laser and Max DMR Precision stock also improve ADS speed, and the stock improves aiming stability. Finally, the Schlager Match improves ADS and sprint to fire speed at the cost of recoil control.
ActivisonBest SP-X 80 Warzone 2 class: Perks & equipment
- Base Perk 1: Double Time
- Base Perk 2: Overkill
- Bonus Perk: Fast Hands
- Ultimate Perk: High Alert
- Lethal: Drill Charge
- Tactical Equipment: Smoke Grenade
For Base Perks, Double Time is useful as it doubles your tactical sprint duration, making getting around both Al Mazrah and Vondel faster. Using Overkill to run a secondary that covers the SO-14 weaknesses like a meta SMG is also recommended.
Fast Hands ensures you are less likely to get caught while reloading and works well with Overkill as it increases weapon swap speed.
For the Ultimate Perk, High Alert is a superb choice as it provides free intel by highlighting the direction of enemy players aiming at you from behind. With Warzone 2’s short TTK, this is one of the few ways to give yourself enough time to react before being downed.
Equipment is flexible as there are several strong choices but a Drill Charge and Smoke Grenade are the top picks here. Drill Charges are excellent for flushing out players from hard-to-reach areas, while Smoke Grenades allow you to reposition through open spaces without being punished.
