Our best Modern Warfare 2 Victus XMR loadout harnesses the evergreen one-shot kill potential of this .50 cal bolt-action behemoth without it being so bulky that can’t effectively quickscope with it. It might not be the fastest option, but a single shot to even the lower torso at any range makes this a very compelling option.

The best Modern Warfare 2 sniper rifles marry massive single-shot damage with relatively high mobility, and the Victus XMR arrives in MW2 with the best damage and range of any gun in the game. Unlike our best Modern Warfare 2 Signal 50 loadout, this Victus XMR is built for speed as well as damage.
