The real strength of the SP-X 80, and the reason we value it so highly, is its handling stats. We’ve focused hard on this with the below loadout, increasing the rifle’s ADS and Sprint-To-Fire times, but without sacrificing its stopping power over longer distances.
Together, these attachments provide you with a very light and fast version of the SP-X 80 which nonetheless excels at range thanks to its range-extendingNilsound 90Silencer on the Muzzle. The22.5" Elevate-11Barrel is there to add movement speed and ADS speed, while theFSS OLE-V LaserandSchlager Match Gripadd further ADS speed and the crucial Sprint To Fire time which is essential for all quickscope builds.
Finally theMax DMR PrecisionStock adds even more ADS speed while also improving aiming stability to help you line up those quick shots in a hurry. And seeing as the SP-X 80 comes with a long-ranged scope attached, there’s no real need to add an optic of your own. If you want to though, then of course you can - I’d recommend swapping out the Schlager Match Grip for the optic of your choice, although be warned that you can’t choose anything less than a 3x scope for the SP-X 80.
As with any sniper loadout, you should pair the SP-X 80 up with a close-range weapon that can deal with enemies that get into mid or close range with you. We’d recommend the FSS Hurricane for this task. It’s atop-tier SMGthat’s well-suited to close-range encounters; but with its extremely low recoil it can also be used very effectively at mid-range, giving you a lot of versatility in your build.

Other than usingOverkillto ensure you bring two primary weapons into battle, you’ve got a lot of options when it comes to perks. Overall though, we’d recommend picking upBomb Squadto fortify yourself against grenade spam and Drill Charges used to clear you from your sniper position. For Bonus and Ultimate perks, we’d recommendCold-BloodedandGhostto keep you off the enemy’s radar in every way possible, so you can make full use of the SP-X 80’s one-shot-kill potential.
As for equipment, the simpleFrag Grenadeis an excellent choice for killing enemies hiding behind walls from your snipes. And for your Tactical slot pick up aStun Grenade, as it’ll help you both in close range fights and for holding still enemies so you can pick them off with your SP-X 80.
