The best Fennec 45 loadout in Warzone season one

Swift like the fox of its namesake.

There’s no shortage of solid SMG options in Warzone, but one of the more popular options in the early days of Modern Warfare 3 has been the Fennec 45. This sleek, fast-handling, and fast-firing SMG is a dominant force at close range but falls off quickly when firing further distances. But that hasn’t stopped it from leaping into the meta with a vengeance.

The Fennec is a returning weapon from Modern Warfare 2, but it might be even better this time around. With the right Gunsmithing and the right weapon to pair it with, the Fennec could easily continue to grow and be a favorite weapon picked by BR pub-stompers and casual players alike.

Here’s the best set of attachments to use on the Fennec 45 in Warzone.

The Fennec has been one of the first MW2 guns to pop off in the MW3 version of Warzone, with word spreading quickly of its hyper-fast time-to-kill at close range.

Best Fennec 45 attachments in MW3 Warzone

  • Muzzle: Purifier Muzzle Brake S
  • Optic: Mk. 3 Reflector
  • Underbarrel: DR-6 Handstop
  • Ammunition: .45 Auto High Grain Rounds
  • Magazine: Fennec Mag 45

The Fennec offers what is easily the highest fire rate out of all of the SMGs in Warzone, equaled only by the WSP Swarm, which instantly makes it a strong choice for close-quarters combat on Urzikstan, even though it has quite a vertical recoil kick.

The downfall of the Fennec is its range, especially when the meta is dominated by LMGs and assault rifles. This weapon should not be used outside of very close range, meaning you will need to pair it with a long-range weapon like a TAQ Eradicator or FR 5.56.

Maximizing the Fennec’s potential means leaning into its strengths while also helping out just some of its weaknesses to put yourself in the best possible situation to win your fights indoors. These attachments will increase the gun’s damage, range, recoil control, and handling, making it a top meta contender early on.

Best Fennec 45 perks and equipment in MW3 Warzone

  • Perk Package
    • Perk 1: Battle Hardened
    • Perk 2: E.O.D.
    • Perk 3: Tempered
    • Perk 4: High Alert
  • Secondary weapon: DG-56 or preferred long-range weapon
  • Lethal: Frag Grenade
  • Tactical: Smoke Grenade
Tip:

When you find yourself overwhelmed or in the sights of many enemies (thanks to High Alert), pop a smoke grenade, pull out your Fennec, and use it to get out of dodge.

Use these curated picks for your perks to keep you moving quickly and staying safe, in combination with a strong long-range option, and you should be able to hold your own all across Urzikstan, no matter what the situation may be.
