Once considered out of touch, it has become highly effective again thanks to the recently implemented massive buffs. It now excels in Warzone, especially in Resurgence, due to its immense power and high mobility, making it a top meta pick for sniper enthusiasts.

The base FJX Imperium can one-shot enemies up to 70 meters. However, with the right attachments, players can extend its one-shot potential to nearly 100 meters with a precise headshot. Additionally, it offers quick ADS and sprint-to-fire speeds, providing the mobility essential for Warzone, along with a hitscan range of 65 meters.

Muzzle: VT-7 Spiritfire Suppressor
Barrel: Fahrenheit 29"

The VT-7 Spiritfire Suppressor muffles your gunshots while boosting bullet velocity and increasing damage range, making it crucial for enhancing long-range effectiveness.

The Fahrenheit 29" Barrel further improves bullet velocity and damage range, while also reducing idle sway, providing better accuracy when aiming.

The Kimura RYL 33 Laser Light is key for mobility and handling, significantly improving ADS speed and sprint-to-fire time.

The FJX Kilo-Tac Stock is another essential attachment for mobility-focused gameplay. It enhances crouch movement speed, sprint speed, ADS time, and sprint-to-fire speed, perfect for fast-paced gunfights in Warzone, especially in Resurgence.

Finally, equipping .408 High Velocity ammunition greatly boosts bullet velocity, helping the FJX Imperium achieve its hitscan range of up to 65 meters, making it deadly accurate at longer distances.

It’s recommended to use the Overkill Wildcard, which allows you to equip two primary weapons.

Here’s the ideal class setup to follow:

Primary: FJX Imperium
Primary: LC10 SMG
Melee: Power Drill
Tactical: Stim Shot
Lethal: Throwing Knife
Perk 1 – Survivor: Health regeneration begins after just 3 seconds, and revive speed is increased.
