Best Modern Warfare 2 SP-X 80 loadout attachments

• Barrel: 16” ZLR Executor 80 Barrel
• Laser: FSS OLE-V Laser
• Rear Grip: Schlager Match Grip
• Bolt: FSS ST87 Bolt

The best Modern Warfare 2 SP-X 80 loadout is all about increasing the weapon’s aim down sight (ADS) speed and sprint to fire time, making quickscoping easy.

We’re kicking off this loadout with the 16” ZLR Executor 80 Barrel which increases its ADS speed at the cost of range, so only use this barrel in 6v6. Then, the FSS OLE-V Laser further helps with ADS speed but also sprint to fire, allowing you to dart around the map and snap onto enemies before they can get their gun up.

We’re further helping the SP-X 80’s ADS and sprint to fire speed with the Schlager Match Grip and increasing its fire rate with the FSS ST87 Bolt.

Almost all of these attachments will hurt the SP-X 80’s recoil control, but that’s not something you need to worry about when using a bolt-action rifle.

Best Modern Warfare 2 SP-X 80 Perks & Equipment

• Base Perk 1: Bomb Squad
• Base Perk 2: Battle Hardened
• Bonus Perk: Fast Hands
• Ultimate Perk: Ghost
• Tactical Equipment: Flash Grenade
• Lethal Equipment: Drill Charge
• Field Upgrade: Munitions Box

When building the best SP-X 80 loadout, we can’t recommend anything other than Bomb Squad and Battle Hardened in Modern Warfare 2, as both Stun Grenades and explosives are incredibly powerful.

Fast Hands is the perfect Bonus Perk for Sniper Rifles, and while we’d love to recommend Quick Fix as the Ultimate Perk, Ghost is too important not to use.

Flash Grenades are by far the best equipment in the game, and Drill Charges are perfect for rooting out campers. Finally, we recommend the Munitions Box as you’ll quickly burn through ammo if on a high Killstreak.
