The best Fennec 45 loadout and class setup in Modern Warfare 2

It's been surpassed, but is still a solid CQC gun.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2’s large roster of submachine guns is full of new and returning weapons alike, and a number of popular picks stand out among the pack.

The Fennec returned to MW2 after being added to MW 2019 as a seasonal weapon, and it’s just as strong as its predecessor, if not better. But its characteristics leave it useful in a very specific situation, so it’s not a weapon that can be used in all scenarios like some other guns available in the game.

“With a blinding fire rate, the Fennec 45 excels at room clearing and holding down the front line,” its in-game description reads—and that’s about as good a way to describe it as any. The fire rate is indeed lightning quick, so let’s keep that in mind when building a loadout of attachments for it.

Here’s the best loadout for the Fennec 45 in MW2‘s season four after its hard nerfs in updates from previous seasons.

When it comes to clearing out small buildings and rooms, whether it’s in MW2 multiplayer or Warzone BR, the Fennec is not the beast that it was in the meta in CoD right now. But it’s still one of the best options in the game for that specific, run-and-gun, frantic playstyle that reigns on casual small maps.

The Fennec’s incredibly high fire rate is its biggest strength but also a true weakness. Keeping this in mind, it’s not recommended to run this weapon on large maps or try to use it at anything past close-medium range.

These attachments will help out the Fennec in a big way in the department where it lacks the most: accuracy. The Fennec kicks like a mule, and it can be hard to control even at close range, so run with these additions to help rein it in a little bit and help keep your aim focused on your enemy’s body. The kick will still be there, but you can use it to your advantage to hit headshots more easily.
