When we’re talking about FPS, of course, lots of players are going to gravitate toward the Sniper Rifle. Huge, loud, and have the longest range, these weapons are the primary choice of people who subscribe to the idea of “one-shot, one-kill.” In Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, Signal 50 .50 cal is one of the deadliest Snipers in the game that you can obtain by reaching Military Rank Level 20. Once you own the Signal 50 Sniper Rifle, then you should try to play around with it using these two best Attachment and Class builds.
[Updated August 24, 2024 – Updated links]
1. Quickscope ADS Signal 50 Sniper Build
Honestly, the most crucial Attachment in Modern Warfare 2 for this Signal 50 build is the FSS OLE-V Laser (unlocked with a Level 10 EBR-14), which buffs up your ADS speed, making it an extremely lethal quick scoping machine. Despite using it on another weapon, you can see the Laser in action in Zelta’s video above.
The other Attachments are mostly a matter of preference. But to maximize your quick scoping capabilities, you’ll want to run SA Finesse to increase the Sprint-to-Fire speed. There’s no particular Muzzle that you have to use, but going with a Nilsound 90 Silencer to suppress your shots doesn’t hurt.
Recommended Loadout:
- Barrel: 29″ TV Kilo-50
- Laser: FSS OLE-V Laser
- Rear Grip: SA Finesse Grip
2. Hardscope Signal 50 Build
While quickscoping is always the go-to for most players, sometimes, you maybe want to sit back, camp, and carefully scope enemies from afar. If you’re the patient kind of Sniper, then this build is for you. For a harder-hitting weapon, picking Sightmax Clear Shot Optic and FSS Echo Stock with 21.5″ Fluted Fifty is the way to go.
Recommended Loadout:
- Optic: Sightmax Clear Shot
- Barrel: FSS Jetstream / 21.5″ Fluted Fifty
- Laser: Corio Laz-44 V3
- Stock: SO Inline Stock / FSS Echo Stock
- Rear Grip: SA Finesse Grip
The Best Perks and Equipment For Signal 50
- Perk 1: Overkill
- Perk 2: Double Time / Tracker
- Bonus Perk: Cold-Blooded / Resupply / Fast Hands
- Ultimate Perk: Bird’s Eye / Ghost
- Equipment:
- Lethal: Claymore / Thermite
- Tactical: Stun Grenade / Shock Stick
- Field Upgrade: Portable Radar
Like most Sniper Rifles, you will often use Signal 50 for long-range engagements in Modern Warfare 2. Therefore, bringing along a secondary mid-close-range weapon with Overkill is an obvious choice. M16 is for larger maps and is the best all-rounder backup gun that you can have.
Depending on your playstyle, there are a number of Perk combinations that you can choose from. However, if you want a simpler Modern Warfare 2 build, like a run-and-gun type of Signal 50 build, then you might want to pick Double Time and Cold-Blooded or Fast Hands. Meanwhile, Bird’s Eye will open up your minimap way more, so use that to track down unsuspecting targets. On the other hand, Ghost is useful for staying hidden.
For Equipment, go with the Claymore or Thermite to secure locations or trap enemies. Meanwhile, Stun Grenades or Shock Sticks are useful to surprise careless prey. Combine it with Portable Radar to become an apex predator on the battlefield.
