You'll need to take a look at our best Victus XMR loadout in MW2, which covers the necessary attachments and perks to turn the sniper into a lethal weapon in anyone's hands.

The magic of Call of Duty multiplayer has always been the choice of loadouts, allowing you to select all the gear you want to specifically use, and this is pushed even further in Modern Warfare 2 with the Gunsmith 2.0 system.

So, if you want to know how to best utilise this powerful sniper rifle, check out the best Victus XMR loadout in MW2.

  • Barrel - Mack 821.5 Short
  • Stock - XRK Rise 50
  • Rear Grip - Bruen Q900 Grip
  • Laser - VLK LZR 7MW
  • Optic -  Corio Enforcer Optic

The above attachments are perfect for increasing the effective range and accuracy of the Victus XMR, while also reducing its reload time.

The Mack 821.5 Short barrel is also key for increasing the aim down sight speed and hip recoil control, which will make the weapon more effective in close-range engagements where you typically have a disadvantage.

  • Secondary - X12
  • Tactical - Stun Grenade
  • Lethal - Frag Grenade
  • Base Perks - Scavenger and Tracker
  • Bonus Perk - Fast Hands
  • Ultimate Perk - Ghost
  • Field Upgrade - Dead Silence

The X12 is a great sidearm to pair with the Victus XMR, letting you quickly swap to it to finish off weaker enemies. It's also a good option for close-range fights in buildings where the sniper is too much of a risk to use.

Stun Grenades and Frag Grenades are always important pieces of equipment for players using sniper rifles. Stunning enemies lets you slow them down so they become easy targets to take out, and Frag Grenades are always useful for clearing out tight areas, making space, and delaying enemies that might try to rush you.

Our perk selection for this loadout is all about keeping you alive for as long as possible, and sustaining you. Scavenger will keep you from running out of ammo, and Fast Hands lets you reload much quicker, which will frequently save your life.

Tracker is important for keeping an eye on enemies and always knowing what's around every corner, while Ghost does the opposite, making sure you don't show up on UAVs and radar pings, letting you camp or silently move around.

That's all for our rundown of the best Victus XMR loadout in MW2, and now you have an idea of attachments, equipment, and perks to utilise with this powerful sniper rifle.

We also have a MW2 weapon tier list, which covers the very best guns in the game.
