What Is MW2 Quickscoping?
Click to enlargeQuickscoping is an age-old sniping technique that's been around for as long as Call of Duty has existed. Usually, when CoD players snipe, they aim down sight, line up the shot, hold their breath, and fire away — this is called Hardscoping. The action of Quickscoping, however, takes a mere fraction of a second, as the Quickscoper spends little to no time at all staring down their scope.
Quickscoping is objectively more difficult to pull off than Hardscoping, but those effective at it can take down entire enemy teams in seconds. Furthermore, there's a certain feeling of satisfaction that comes from executing a clean Quickscope, and you'll definitely earn some style points amongst spectators.
How To Quickscope In MW2?

Best MW2 Quickscope Class
Click to enlargeConsidering that Quickscoping requires the player to constantly scope in and out, attachments with Aim Down Sight (ADS) Speed bonuses are essential to designing the best MW2 Quickscope Class.

Primary: SP-R 208 Marksman Rifle

And even though it's a Marksman Rifle, the SP-R 208 will one-shot kill enemies hit in the torso, neck, and head area. So, basically, the SP-R 208 has all the benefits of a Sniper Rifle without the drawbacks.

Secondary: N/A
Honestly, since this Class is built for Quickscoping, the Secondary you choose is irrelevant. So, pick your personal favourite!
Tactical: Shock Stick
The Shock Stick is a great way to slow down enemies and make them easy targets for Quickscopes.
Lethal: Drill Charge
Obviously, Quickscoping is less effective in tight corridors. So, try using the Drill Charge to flush enemies out of hiding and force them into the open.
Perk Package
- Base Perks: Double Time and Battle Hardened
- Bonus Perk: Fast Hands
- Ultimate Perk: Ghost
Quickscoping requires fast reactions, so you'll want Perks like Double Time and Fast Hands that allow you to play fluidly and at an accelerated pace. Additionally, UAVs, Heartbeat Sensors, and Tactical Equipment like Flashes and Stuns are some of the biggest annoyances for Quickscopers, so that's where the Battle Hardened and MW2 Ghost Perk come into play.
- If you know how to get unlimited Tactical Sprint in MW2, you can sub in another Base Perk for Double Time.
Field Upgrade: Munitions Box
Sniper Rifles don't have much ammo in reserve, so the Munitions Box is great for restocking when you run out.
Take to Multiplayer with this best MW2 Quickscope Class and make short work of the opposition.
