Best Sniper Loadout in Call of Duty DMZ – Victus XMR

The best sniper for DMZ is the Victus XMR. In our opinion, it packs the perfect punch for any long round of DMZ. The base stats are excellent and it has some of the highest damage in the game — ideal for dealing with dangerous enemies. Furthermore, the overall range can assist you a lot during your sessions. You can improve the sniper even more with the attachments listed below.

  • Ammunition: .50 Cal High Velocity
  • Muzzle: Bruen Counter-Ops
  • Optic: Corio 13X VRS or regular Victus XMR scope
  • Barrel: Mack 8 33.5 Super
  • Rear Grip: Bruen 0900 Grip

In terms of your main loadout to complement the sniper rifle, be sure to have a fast-firing automatic weapon on your secondary. Whether you choose an SMG or assault rifle, having something with a medium to short range and a high fire rate will give you some extra support in many situations.

Also, be sure to bring the Munitions Box Field Upgrade with you; you will likely take on enemies from afar and you may not find as much ammo.

For your Lethal, either use a Thermite or the Throwing Knife. The Thermite will provide help in taking out Riot Shield-wielding enemies. On the other hand, Throwing Knives will ensure you can deal with close-quarter encounters more efficiently.

The Stim should be your go-to Tactical for healing up fast. I personally like using Smoke Grenade because it gives me protection when I’m exfiling or running away from a group of aggressive NPCs.

Great Sniper Rifle Loadout in Call of Duty DMZ – SP-X 80

Another excellent sniper rifle in DMZ is the SP-X 80. While the Viztus XMR is best used for long ranges, the SP-X 80 is used more for medium ranges. Here’s the SP-X 80 loadout you need if you are to use it in DMZ:

  • Muzzle: FTAC Reaper
  • Laser: FSS OLE-V Laser
  • Bolt: FSS ST87 Bolt
  • Stock: PVZ-890 Tac Stock
  • Grip: Schlager Match Grip

Though SP-Z 80 isn’t better than a great SMG, like the ISO 45, at close range, at medium range, this SP-X 80 loadout excels are dispatching groups of enemies very quickly. I recommend using an SMG or assault rifle for your secondary when NPCs get a little too close.

Portable Radar or Battle Rage are the two Field Upgrades that work best with this loadout. If you need to make a quick getaway, then Battle Rage comes in handy to give you an extra boost to health and sprint speed. Portable Radar is a sniper’s best friend as it allows you to know the locations of all surrounding enemies on your minimap.

I personally like using Semtex as it is a useful grenade for any scenario, but you can use whatever Lethal you like best. The Tactical is much of the same: use whatever you like best, but I like Smoke Grenades for quick and easy getaways and Stims which work similarly to Battle Rage.
