In Warzone 2, when it comes to close-range combat, the Fennec 45 SMG is a standout weapon. It boasts the fastest fire rate on the Al Mazrah map, making it lethal when paired with a meta WZ2 loadout.

While other weapons like the Sakin MG38, RAAL MG, M4, and ISO Hemlock are better suited for long-range encounters, SMGs reign supreme in close-quarters combat. But with so many SMGs to choose from, it can be challenging to find one that matches your playstyle and fits the current meta.

The Fennec 45, despite experiencing damage nerfs, still stands out in Season 2 Reloaded and beyond to Season 3, as a powerful option for close-range combat. With its exceptional fire rate and incredibly fast TTK, it’s a formidable weapon in Warzone 2. However, to unlock its full potential, you’ll need to equip it with a top-tier Fennec 45 loadout.

Best Fennec Loadout & Attachments MW2 & Warzone 2

Here’s our Fennec build in Warzone, and with most of those attachments making a comeback, this should work excellently in MW2 as well. You can even run this as your primary if you like, or just stick to the classic AR/Sub combo with Overkill as your perk.

Best Fennec Loadout Multiplayer & Warzone 2

For the optimal Fennec 45 loadout in Warzone 2, consider equipping the following attachments:

• Underbarrel: Phase-3 Grip
• Muzzle: Lacerta Compensator
• Laser: VLK LZR 7MW
• Stock: Agile Assault-7
• Magazine: Fennec Mag 45

To reduce recoil and improve hip fire accuracy, start with the Lacerta Compensator Muzzle and the Phase-3 Grip Underbarrel. These attachments also increase bullet velocity, making your shots more effective.

Next, the VLK LZR 7MW laser is a must-have for faster ADS speed and sprint-to-fire time, giving you an advantage in close-range engagements.

While some players may prefer to use an optic, we recommend the Agile Assault-7 stock instead. This attachment provides a significant boost to mobility, allowing you to move more quickly around the map and outmanoeuvre your opponents.

Finally, equip the Fennec Mag 45 to increase your ammo capacity and eliminate the need for frequent reloads. With this setup, you’ll be well-equipped to take on multiple enemies at once and dominate in Warzone 2’s close-range combat.

Best Fennec 45 Perks & Class

To complement the Fennec 45’s aggressive playstyle, we recommend the Vanguard perk package with the following selections:

• Base Perk 1: Double Time
• Base Perk 2: Bomb Squad
• Bonus Perk: Resupply
• Ultimate Perk: High Alert
• Lethal: Grenade
• Tactical Equipment: Stun Grenade

With Double Time, your tactical sprint lasts 50% longer, providing crucial mobility for close-quarters combat. This is especially important since the Fennec is outmatched at medium range. Bomb Squad helps you avoid enemy explosives when pushing aggressively.

For your bonus perk, Resupply grants an additional lethal and recharges equipment. And to top it off, High Alert is a top-tier ultimate that alerts you to nearby enemies and helps you evade danger.

Complete your loadout with a grenade for lethal damage and a stun grenade to disable enemies, and you’ll be ready to dominate in Warzone 2.

The Lachmann Sub Vs. The Fennec

There’s a lot of debate around this, but which submachine gun is better – the Lachmann or the Fennec?

Both have strengths and weaknesses, which might come down to personal preference. The Fennec, however, undeniably has a higher rate of fire.

But this presents a problem as you’ll run out of ammo faster and need to dedicate an attachment slot to a larger magazine. The Lachmann Sub performs very well in comparison with just the standard 30-round magazine.

If we had to pick a horse in this race right now, it’d have to be the Lachmann, but we can’t say for sure until the meta for MW2 settles down a bit, probably around the time that season 1 will launch.

This leads us nicely to what attachments we think you should use.

How to unlock the Fennec 45 in MW2

If you want to add the Modern Warfare 2 Fennec 45 to your arsenal, reaching Level 38 is all it takes. You don’t need to complete any special challenges or use specific weapons to unlock it.

To level up quickly, consider playing Invasion for intense, large-scale battles or Domination, which offers generous XP bonuses for capturing and holding objectives. With some dedicated gameplay, you’ll be using the Fennec 45 in no time.

Best Fennec Strategy for Modern Warfare 2

The Fennec is perfect for clearing out rooms as it spits lead at one of the highest rounds per minute of any gun in COD.

Use it as a backup by running Overkill and switch between it and an AR to engage effectively at both close and medium range.

If it’s a small map, use the Fennec as your primary, as you’ll always be within 30 meters in every engagement.

For tacticals/lethals we recommend flashbangs and semtex, and if you run resupply with your perks, you’ll never run out of things to throw.
