Warzone pro Tyler ‘TeeP’ Polchow has revealed the best hipfire SMG loadout that most players are overlooking. Here’s how to build the underrated close-range class.

The Warzone Season 2 Reloaded update brought a ton of weapon buffs and nerfs to the battle royale and while weapon balancing has altered the meta slightly, it’s a forgotten SMG that has a Warzone expert excited.

Very few Warzone pros have as much experience with Call of Duty battle royales as TeeP does. From Blackout to Warzone, TeeP’s experience is unrivalled and he’s just revealed a hipfire SMG loadout that is sure to dominate.

Fennec Warzone SMG

The Fennec is far from a popular Warzone weapon but given its close-range performance, the SMG could go from overlooked to underrated in the blink of an eye.

We’ve seen hipfire SMG loadouts dominate the meta over the years; after all who could forget how powerful the PPSH-41 was. Despite its lack of popularity, Warzone genius TeeP successfully put together a hipfire loadout that will make the Fennec just as powerful.

TeeP hipfire Fennec Warzone loadout

  • Laser: 5mW Laser
  • Stock: No Stock
  • Underbarrel: Merc Foregrip
  • Magazine: 40 Round Drum Mags
  • Perk: Sleight of Hand

The lack of Barrel and Muzzle may seem odd but given how this Fennec loadout is meant to be used, the priority is to increase hipfire accuracy. TeeP does just that by equipping the 5mW Laser and Merc Foregrip.

You’ll want to catch your enemies by surprise with this hipfire Fennec, so rushing them down with increased speed is vital. Thankfully, the No Stock attachment will provide an increase in movement speed.

With this unique loadout, TeeP manages a 20+ kill Rebirth Island victory and his surprise at how well the weapon performed is clear to see, “hipfire Fennec kind of nice!” he exclaims twice in a row.

With that being said, you may want to give this weapon a try, as it could be your new favorite SMG loadout.
