The best Warzone 2 Fennec 45 loadout absolutely shreds at close range. Even if you haven't been using it you've probably been on the wrong end of one in a few kill cams. This SMG has a ridiculously high fire rate which can melt through enemies in the right hands.
There's a balance though: that high rate of fire will make your ammo disappear as fast as enemies, so it's not a gun to use without care. It's a weapon where you want to get as much control, and ammo, as you can out of the attachments you pick. However, if you can learn how to use the Fennec 45 and land your shots you'll find it a dangerous weapon to use. Below, we've got the best Warzone 2 Fennec 45 loadouts in Modern Warfare 2.

How to unlock the Fennec 45 in Warzone 2 and Modern Warfare 2
The Fennec 45 is one of the easier guns to unlock in Warzone 2 and Modern Warfare 2. All you need to do is reach rank 38 to get it. And, as ever, the easiest way to do that is play a lot of matches quickly, preferably with an XP boost on. So pop a 2XP token and hit the Shoot House for high turn-over, high-kill matches. Or you can play play DMZ to level up faster if you've just got Warzone 2.
Best Warzone 2 Fennec 45 loadout in Modern Warfare 2
The best Fennec 45 loadout in Warzone uses these attachments to play to its close range strengths:
- Laser: VLK LZR 7MW
- Stock: FTAC Locktight Stock
- Rear Grip: Fennec Rubber Grip
- Underbarrel: FSS Sharkfin 90
- Magazine: Fennec Mag 45
If the Fennec isn't doing for you then try some Warzone 2 FSS Hurricane loadouts, or Warzone 2 Vaznev 9K loadouts and, while not strictly an SMG, there's a Warzone 2 Chimera loadout that works like one.
Since the Fennec 45 is meant to be used up-close, your build should prioritize speed, aim down sights (ADS) time, and mobility. The VLK LZR 7MW Laser improves your ADS speed, aiming stability, and sprint-to-fire speed, which will make you more nimble and able to find targets quicker.
Next, use the FTAC Locktight Stock for improved crouch movement speed, sprint speed, and better ADS time. To further boost the weapon’s ADS speed and sprint-to-fire times, we recommend using the Fennec Rubber Grip Rear Grip.
Some of the other attachments penalize recoil control, so to help you land your shots, it’s best to use the FSS Sharkfin 90 Underbarrel which improves aiming idle stability. Finally, we advise always using the Fennec Mag 45 Magazine, to give you as much ammo as possible.
This build will work nicely alongside a long-range rifle or LMG. Try not to challenge players past 15 meters or so with this particular loadout, as it’ll be harder to land your shots from afar. Instead, stick to battles within close-range. The closer, the better.
Best mid-range Warzone 2 Fennec 45 loadout in Modern Warfare 2
- Barrel: Fennec Covert Force
- Underbarrel: Phase-3 Grip
- Stock: FTAC XCommand Stock
- Magazine: Fennec Mag 45
- Rear Grip: Fennec Stippled Grip
Since many firefights in Warzone 2 occur at mid-range, it’s not a bad idea to come equipped with a Fennec 45 build that works well for those situations. This is never going to be a close range gun but you can get a bit more range with the right attachments.
Start with the Fennec Covert Force Barrel for sound suppression, better damage range, hip fire accuracy, and faster bullet velocity. Then, equip the Phase-3 Grip Underbarrel, which boosts your aiming idle stability, hip fire accuracy, and recoil stabilization.
After that, we recommend the FTAC XCommand Stock for even more recoil control. And, as always with any Fennec build, be sure to use the Fennec Mag 45 Magazine. Finish the build with the Fennec Stippled Grip Rear Grip for one last recoil control boost.
This build works best as a sniper support, excelling at close to mid-range. It’ll do much better at mid-range than the close-quarters Fennec 45 loadout since its recoil control, bullet velocity, and accuracy are enhanced with this particular build. Just be sure to always keep your ammo in check, especially for larger team modes like Trios or Quads.
Best Warzone 2 Fennec 45 class build in Modern Warfare 2
- Field Upgrade: Munitions Box
- Tactical: Stun Grenade
- Lethal: Semtex
- Base Perk 1: Double Time
- Base Perk 2: Tracker
- Bonus Perk: Spotter
- Ultimate Perk: Ghost
Since the Fennec 45 runs out of ammo fast, having a Munitions Box is almost essential. Likewise, Stun Grenades are perfect for giving you the upper hand, especially in close-quarters situations. We also like using Semtex Grenades to clear out rooms, finish off downed enemies, or even destroy vehicles.
In terms of your Perk Package, we recommend using Specter. This includes Double Time, which increases the duration of your tac sprint, which is helpful when resetting a gunfight. In addition, it comes with Tracker, allowing you to see enemy footprints temporarily – once again, a useful tool for close-range.
Spotter is also ideal, as many players tend to use Claymores and Proximity Mines. This Perk allows you to spot enemy equipment through walls, which will hopefully keep you safer. Finally, Ghost makes you undetectable by UAVs, Portable Radars, and Heartbeat Sensors. This is super handy, especially for the end portion of a Warzone 2 match.
