What is the best Warzone Victus XMR loadout?

  • Barrel: Executor 546
  • Optic: SP-X 80 6.6x
  • Stock: XRK Rise 50
  • Ammunition: .50 Cal Explosive
  • Rear Grip: Bruen Q900 Grip

Although the damage does create even more recoil, the Victus XMR is very easy to control and has the chance to end Season 6 on the front foot.

Best Warzone Victus XMR attachments

The Warzone 2 gunsmith contains a wide variety of attachments with numerous pros and cons. After some testing, this set of five is the best to use for the rest of Season 6:

  • Barrel: Executor 546
  • Optic: SP-X 80 6.6x
  • Stock: XRK Rise 50
  • Ammunition: .50 Cal Explosive
  • Rear Grip: Bruen Q900 Grip

The choice of the Executor 546 barrel is due to the increase in damage range at longer distances. To guarantee a one-shot kill, using explosive ammunition is the key when it comes to dealing maximum damage from long distances.

Overall, this particular combination is perfect for long-distance action.
