- Barrel: 22" OMX-456
- Optic: Cronen Zero-P Optic
- Stock: FSS Merc Stock
- Rear Grip: Cronen Cheetah Grip
- Magazine: 5 Round Mag
A talented sniper can flip an MW2 Search and Destroy match on its head. If the enemy team can't counter it, sniper users can create massive openings for their team with their ability to hold lanes and keep opponents at bay.
The Cronen Zero-P Optic is essential in Search and Destroy, as it allows users to win engagements at all ranges, plus it reduces Sniper Glint. Aside from the 22" OMX-456 Barrel, the rest of the attachments on this MCPR-300 loadout greatly enhance its Handling and Mobility, two stats crucial to fighting back against zealous SMG and Assault Rifle players.
- This Search and Destroy Sniper Rifle loadout is similar to the best MW2 MCPR-300 Sniper loadout used by Call of Duty League pros like Sam "Octane" Larew and James "Clayster" Eubanks.

- Trigger Action: XRK Lighting Fire
- Rear Grip: Cronen Lima-6
In Search and Destroy, you should try to have your Primary Weapon locked-and-loaded at all times. However, that's not always possible. The X12 is the perfect Secondary Weapon for sticky situations because you can pull it out in a flash to finish off weakened foes.
Best Search And Destroy Classes In MW2: Perks
Click to enlarge- Base Perks: Double Time and Bomb Squad
- Bonus Perk: Focus
- Ultimate Perk: Overclock
Perks are a crucial element of Search and Destroy in MW2. Double Time and Bomb Squad are among the best, and available as Base Perks. Double Time will allow you to reach power positions quicker, while Bomb Squad will prevent you from getting taken out by grenades while trying to plant the bomb at an objective.
With only one life in Search and Destroy, it's important to make the most of it. Focus will give you that extra edge in gunfights.
When it comes to Ultimate Perks, Overclock is the clear best-in-slot only because it lets you use your Field Upgrade more frequently.
- Your fallen teammates will envy you if they spectate you wearing one of the rarest Operator Skins in Warzone 2.
Best Search And Destroy Classes In MW2: Equipment
Click to enlarge- Tactical Equipment: Stun Grenade or Smoke Grenade
- Lethal Equipment: Frag Grenade or Semtex
- Field Upgrade: Dead Silence
Just like Perks, Equipment is an underrated aspect of the best Search and Destroy classes in MW2. Smoke Grenades are invaluable in Search and Destroy, as they can block the sightlines of enemy snipers and lead to uncontested bomb plants. Not everyone should use a Smoke Grenade though, so Stuns are a fine alternative.
Lethal Equipment is largely a personal preference, but you can't go wrong with Frags or a Semtex.
Last but certainly not least, the Dead Silence Field Upgrade is an absolute necessity in Search and Destroy. Footsteps in MW2 are outrageously loud. Without Dead Silence, it's near impossible to flank and get the jump on your opponents. But with Dead Silence, you can slither around the map like a snake and make game-changing plays for your squad.
If you want to dominate your next match of Search and Destroy, make sure to design your loadouts around the best Search and Destroy classes in MW2.
