Best Signal 50 loadout in Modern Warfare 2

Our ideal Signal 50 loadout ups the bullet velocity of the rifle considerably, making it easier than ever to land those all-important long-ranged headshots. But after substantial testing we’ve concluded that it’s best to stay versatile with the Signal 50’s attachments; so instead of focusing purely on range, we’ve also added some attachments to boost mobility and handlings speeds as well.

Here’s the best Signal 50 loadout in Modern Warfare 2:

The two crucial attachments here are the29" TV Kilo-50 Barrel, and theNilsound 90 Silencer. Together these attachments greatly extend the Signal 50’s effective range and bullet velocity, making it about as close to hitscan as you can get in Modern Warfare 2.

These two heavy attachments slow the gun’s handling speeds down, but we’ve counteracted this with theFSS OLE-V LaserandSA Finesse Grip, which upgrade the gun’s ADS and Sprint-To-Fire speeds. Don’t worry about the visible laser - it’s only visible while you ADS, and your enemies won’t have time to notice it.

As for Optic, just pick your favourite small precision sight optic to help ease the weight on the Signal 50. We’ve opted for theSZ Holothermfor its clean crosshairs and handy thermal imaging capabilities.
