What is the best Fennec loadout in Warzone 2?
Attachments
This underbarrel, stock, and rear grip choice will make the Fennec 45’s recoil infinitely easier to handle, and we've chosen the VLK laser to compensate for the SMG's lousy iron sights. The Agile stock will also boost your sprint speed to keep you light on your feet – an absolute must, especially given some of Warzone 2's larger maps and the personal space you need to invade with this gun.
As a combo, this loadout should make you way more accurate and give you considerably more control over the Fennec. Just make sure you add that 45 mag, or you'll be running out of bullets before you can blink.
Perks and equipment
Double time is absolutely essential in any top Fennec loadout if you want to avoid being brutalized by enemy assault rifles. The extra speed boost will power you into the kind of range that this SMG was made to win in.
Throw in a Bomb Squad to keep you safe from grenades and claymores, and Fast Hands to make sure you're always ready to unload a fresh mag into the next enemy that dares to cross you, and you’re good to go.
As for your ultimate and equipment, that's mostly down to personal preference. Even so, we’ve found these work nicely in rounding out a pro Fennec loadout – they'll help you get up close and personal, and stay off enemy radars.
FAQs
Is the Fennec the best SMG?
The Fennec 45 is one of the top-performing SMGs in close-range combat thanks to its extremely fast fire rate and excellent mobility. It melts targets at point-blank range and rewards aggressive, fast-paced players.
However, calling it the best overall can be misleading because:
- Its effective range is limited.
- Recoil and ammo consumption can be a drawback.
- Other SMGs occasionally outperform it depending on the patch, attachments, and meta shifts.
It’s among the best for close-quarters dominance, but not universally the best in every situation.
Is the Fennec 45 good in Warzone?
Yes, the Fennec 45 is very strong in Warzone when used correctly. Its strengths shine when you:
- Play aggressive and stay mobile.
- Build it with attachments that enhance recoil control, mobility, and damage-per-magazine.
- Stick to close-range engagements where it does maximum damage.
While it’s not always the number-one pick in every season, it consistently remains a reliable high-DPS SMG that can shred enemies at short distance.
What is the fastest-killing SMG in COD?
The fastest-killing SMG depends on the current season and weapon tuning, but generally:
- Some SMGs occasionally outperform others with extremely low time-to-kill (TTK) in close quarters.
- High-RPM guns with strong close-range multipliers often top the charts.
- Recent metas have included SMGs that kill even faster than older favorites like the Fennec under certain setups.
The “fastest-killing SMG” shifts frequently, but high-fire-rate, close-range weapons typically hold that title in any given patch.
What is the deadliest SMG?
“Deadliest” can mean highest TTK, best damage output, or an overall meta favorite, and this can vary by playstyle:
- High-RPM SMGs with low TTK often feel deadliest in close combat.
- Some newer SMGs have extremely strong close-range performance that can outperform older models.
- The Fennec 45 still ranks high for raw shredding potential in tight spaces.
There is no single universally deadliest SMG, but several stand out each season, usually those with exceptional TTK and mobility.
