Battle royale games and long-range sniper kills go hand-in-hand. Call of Duty: Warzone has a strong selection of snipers to choose from for players who like to deal their best damage from afar.
The SP-X 80 is the final weapon available to unlock as part of the Bryson Long Rifle platform in Warzone and Modern Warfare 2. To grab it, players must first level up the SP-R 208 and SA-B 50 marksman rifles, and the LA-B 330 sniper rifle.
Once the LA-B 330 is ranked up to level 18, the SP-X 80 receiver is unlocked. The SP-X 80 “is a .300 magnum sniper rifle designed for long-range target acquisition and elimination,” according to its in-game description.

Why this is the best SP-X 80 loadout in Warzone
As one of the slower-firing bolt-action sniper rifles in the game, the SP-X 80 is rewarded with precision shots to the chest or above. This loadout and setup of attachments work to help accentuate the gun’s strengths, as opposed to shoring up its weaknesses.
The big key with this loadout is the .300 Incendiary ammo, which will one-shot an enemy to the head at medium range. We’ve already had success sniping with this loadout on Vondel and Ashika Island in season five because of this.

The other attachments and tuning listed above will give a solid increase to the SP-X 80’s damage, range, accuracy, mobility, and handling, with only the slightest most inconsequential nerf coming to its recoil control.
Best perk package for SP-X 80 in Warzone
- Perk Package: Double Time and Battle Hardened, Focus, Ghost
Focus is the key perk in this package, which will reduce all flinch when aiming down sights and also extend the duration of holding down your breath. In our experience, this will allow for maximum precision when aiming at enemies from a distance and trying to take them down with one or two well-placed shots.
Best equipment for SP-X 80 in Warzone
- Tactical: Stun or Flash
- Lethal: Claymore or Throwing Knife
Stun grenades and flash grenades still reign supreme in Warzone right now, as both are quite powerful at doing their jobs. We suggest stuns because they slow your enemies and flashes will blind them if hit properly, so pick your poison for what kind of playstyle suits you best.

For lethal equipment, I use claymores because they’re great for protecting your backside while the throwing knife excels at finishing off enemies without having to expend more ammo than necessary.
