Armed with an incredibly fast rate of fire, the Fennec is an excellent option for close-range combat but at longer distances, the lack of damage output makes it tricky to compete against other submachine gunners despite dodging the latest weapon buffs and nerfs.

Before we take a closer look at the best Warzone 2 Fennec 45 loadout, take a look at our other guides showcasing the best LMG and intel on the next double XP event.

We recommend using it as a secondary weapon alongside an assault rifle that provides mid-range prowess.
