Best Warzone FJX Horus loadout

On the hunt for the best Warzone FJX Horus loadout? We've got all the intel you need to know.

The FJX Horus submachine gun (SMG) arrived in the Season 3 update for Call of Duty and possesses a blistering rate of fire capable of shredding through anyone that gets too close. However, the recoil is tricky to control which is where the best attachment combination comes into play.

Before we reveal more about the best FJX Horus loadout, check out our other guides showcasing the Rebirth Island keycard locations and the best MORS loadout for long-distance duels.

What is the best Warzone FJX Horus loadout?

• Muzzle: ZEHMN35 Compensated Flash Hider
• Barrel: Martis Heavy Barrel
• Optic: JAK Glassless Optic
• Underbarrel: XRK Edge BW-4 Handstop
• Magazine: 48 Round Mag
• Perks: Double Time / EOD / Tempered / High Alert
• Grenades: Throwing Knife / Stun

This build provides significant reductions in recoil, resulting in the FJX Horus becoming much more manageable to use in those hectic close-quarters battles. With less kick, the SMG cuts through armour with ease.

Best Warzone FJX Horus attachments

The gunsmith contains a wealth of attachments enabling players to gear the FJX Horus to suit any style of play. After some extensive testing, this combination is excellent for close-range and mid-range engagements:

• Muzzle: ZEHMN35 Compensated Flash Hider
• Barrel: Martis Heavy Barrel
• Optic: JAK Glassless Optic
• Underbarrel: XRK Edge BW-4 Handstop
• Magazine: 48 Round Mag

Up first is the ZEHMN35 Compensated Flash Hider which tames horizontal and vertical recoil. Paired with the Martis Heavy Barrel to tame recoil even further, accuracy levels are improved greatly.

The iron sights of the FJX Horus aren't the best which is where the JAK Glassless Optic comes into its own. With a crystal clear view, it's very easy to keep the bullets landing on the intended target.

As with all Warzone SMG builds, reaction times are key and the XRK Edge BW-4 Handstop provides plenty of movement enhancements. Faster aim walking speed, movement speed, ADS speed, and sprint-to-fire time ensure high mobility levels are maintained.

Last and by no means least is the 48 Round Mag. The increased ammo capacity gives you the ability to eliminate multiple opponents without the need to reload.

Best Warzone FJX Horus perks and equipment

Once the best FJX Horus attachments are ready for action, picking the right perks and equipment is the next step to building the strongest loadout. Here are our recommendations.

Perks

• Perk 1: Double Time
• Perk 2: EOD
• Perk 3: Tempered
• Perk 4: High Alert

Double Time doubles the length of Tac Sprint, allowing you to utilise the mobility of the FJX Horus with the fastest movement speed possible. Next is EOD which increases resistance to any incoming explosives that land nearby.

Perk three is Tempered which speeds up the armour plating process without compromising on the protection it provides. The fourth and final Perk is High Alert. For increased awareness, your vision will pulse when an enemy has spotted you.

Equipment

• Lethal: Throwing Knife
• Tactical: Stun Grenade

Throwing Knives are an excellent tool to kill any downed opponents without wasting any ammunition. Instead of smoke grenades, we've opted for a stun to slow the movement of anyone who attempts to escape your crosshairs.

Is the Warzone FJX Horus meta?

With plenty of SMGs dominating the meta, the FJX Horus isn't one of the stronger options to use in Season 3 despite its impressive rate of fire. The time to kill is slightly longer than other weapons in the category, meaning it's not the most viable option to use.
