Best Signal 50 Loadout in MW2 & Warzone 2: Attachments, Perks & Playstyle

The Signal 50 has stood the test of time as Warzone 2's best Sniper Rifle, and it's not a slouch in Modern Warfare 2.

Finding the best Signal 50 loadout in Warzone 2 & Modern Warfare 2 can be an absolute game-changer. The high-powered Sniper Rifle is a community favorite, and particularly in Warzone, having an elite long-range option can be the difference between crashing out early and surviving into the later circles.

There are easier to use options for MW2’s shorter maps, but when it comes to the bigger arenas, there’s no better bang for your buck. That’s why we’ve compiled the best attachments, perks, and playstyle advice here, so you can take over lobbies in both games.

When building a great Signal 50 loadout, it’s important to keep in mind what you’re trying to achieve. Players will need much more range on Al Mazrah than they will on Ashika Island or Vondel. Our build focuses on the main Battle Royale map, so keep that in mind when setting it up. It will still be usable on the other maps, but may need some tuning adjustments to be truly elite.

Warzone 2 Signal 50 AttachmentsTunings
MuzzleBruen Counter Ops (+1.40, +1.00)
Barrel29″ Kilo-50
StockFSS Echo Stock (-4.00, +2.40)
OpticSchlager Night View (-3.00, +0.81)
Ammunition.50 Cal High Velocity (+0.40, +9.00)

The key elements here are FSS Echo Stock for extra speed, and the 29″ Kilo-50 to keep it lethal. Our Bruen Counter Ops also makes it easier to follow up with a second shot, since there’s no way to make it a one-shot kill. The .50 Cal High Velocity ammo emphasizes that follow-up ability, and the Schlager Night View is a high utility optic for all situations. You can use another sight if you have a strong preference, but the SNV works in public matches and Ranked, making it the ideal attachment to keep things consistent.

You’ll need Fast Hands and Overkill for this loadout though, as it’s nearly mandatory to keep an SMG on you for some up close utility. Consider options like the Lachmann Sub and VEL 46, as they’re best-in-class and incredibly easy to use.

Fill out the rest of the Perk roster with what fits your playstyle, but make sure to keep a Smoke Grenade as your Tactical, as it’s excellent cover, and won’t affect your vision with the Schlager option.

The best loadout for Signal 50 in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is mentioned below.

Warzone 2 Signal 50 AttachmentsTunings
Muzzle21.5″ Fluted Fifty (-0.30, -0.30)
LaserFSS OLE-V (-0.30,-35.00)
StockSO Inline Stock (-3.30, -1.60)
OpticVLK 4.0x
Rear GripSA Finesse Grip (-0.70, -0.40)

All five of these attachments are meant to boost the Aim Down Sight Speed of the Signal 50, with their extra benefits being a small boost to the gun’s lethality. Even if it’s not your favorite way to play, MW2’s time-to-kill is so high that any Sniper build that can’t quickscope is going to have a hard time keeping up against any competent competition.

Predicting what Perks will work best for a specific player is difficult, but Fast Hands and Quick Fix are two of our MW2 favorites. These allow you to stay versatile and survive against multiple enemies through enhanced speed and instant health regeneration, which will save you against clumps of multiple enemies.

Semtex and a Smoke Grenade are great in your Lethal/Tactical spot, but that’s more of a rule of thumb than a requirement. Use what makes you feel safest here, as you likely won’t need to use either slot much.
