Despite being a powerhouse, it can leave you vulnerable when taking up your only primary weapon slot. To deal with this, if you’re going to run the Signal 50, you should seriously run Overkill, too, allowing you to have an SMG or Assault Rifle to back up your ridiculous sniper.

• Barrel – 29″ TV Kilo-50
• Laser – FSS OLE-V Laser
• Rear Grip – SA Finesse Grip

The barrel and rear grip are great additions to the weapon, with the barrel increasing effective range and power while the rear grip increases ADS and sprint speed. The essential part here is the laser. The FSS OLE-V Laser dramatically boosts ADS, turning this high-caliber sniper into a quick-scoper’s wet dream.

Modern Warfare 2 Best Signal 50 Strategy

To master this weapon, you need to understand its limitations.

Yes, it has devastating firepower, but it’s unlikely you’ll be able to squeeze a second shot off should you miss your first.

You’ll also have the sniper scope’s glint signaling to everyone exactly where you are. And given the fast-paced nature of COD’s multiplayer, don’t expect to be able to sit in your scope for too long or hang around in a single spot.

So, with that in mind, your best bet is to keep on the move and use quick-scoping tactics to come out on top. You can try a more traditional sniping style, but it probably won’t end well for you. Make sure you have a primary weapon to back up your Signal 50.
