Inspired by Kriss Vector (.45 ACP), Fennec 45 is a submachine gun in Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0 known for its fast fire rate and close-range superiority. It is considered one of the best SMGs in the entire game, outperforming MX9, FSS Hurricane, and Minibak. But since Fennec got nerfed in Seasons 2 and 3, it currently requires a new build, class, and loadout to recover its primary power.
In this guide, players see what attachments maximize Fennec 45’s performance, learn how its tuning works, and discover the best perks to improve its speed, accuracy, and recoil.
The Best Fennec 45 Build
In Warzone 2, the ideal build for Fennec 45 includes FSS Sharkfin 90 underbarrel, VLK LZR 7MW laster, Fennec Mag 45, Fennec Rubber Grip, and FTAC Locktight Stock. This is the best setup because it maximizes Fennec’s speed while minimizing its mid-range recoil and inaccuracy.
Here’s how to tune the Fennec 45 build:
- FSS Sharkfin 90: ↑ +0.72 → -0.35
- VLK LZR 7MW: ↑ -0.45 → -46.19
- Fennec Rubber Grip: ↑ 0.00 → -0.40
- FTAC Locktight Stock: ↑ -3.57 → 0.00

Since the goal of the Fennec class is to increase movement speed and sneakiness, the most effective perks are Ghost, Fast Hand, Bomb Squad, and Double Time. For Lethal and Tactical Equipment, however, Stim and Throwing Knives are the optimal choices.
Here’s the best class for Fennec 45:
- Base Perk 1: Double Time (movement improvement)
- Base Perk 2: Bomb Squad (protection against lethal equipment and launchers)
- Bonus Perk: Fast Hand (faster reloads)
- Ultimate Perk: Ghost (stealthy movement)
- Tactical: Stim (quick recovery)
- Lethal: Throwing Knife (silent finisher)
Players can also go with multipurpose perk packages like the Specter.
The Best Fennec 45 Attachments
While most pro players prefer a minimalistic loadout for Fennec, it goes with many different attachments. For the barrel, ZLR 16.5” Ignition is a proper choice. Lockshot KT85 does a good job as the muzzle. And XTEN Drop Grip is one of the best underbarrel. But players can also benefit from Fennec Mag 45, VLK LZR 7MW, and FTAC Locktight Stock.
