Best FJX Horus Warzone loadout: Class setup, attachments, perks, more

FJX Horus submachine gun in Call of Duty: Warzone.Activision

The FJX Horus is a fantastic weapon that can dominate even the hardest Warzone lobbies when used with a meta loadout, so it’s only natural that so many players have been using it as of late.

In Warzone’s current meta, the FJX Horus is one of the strongest submachine guns in the game. Going head-to-head with the Superi 46, it offers a superior TTK but has less damage range. This makes it a particularly strong option in Resurgence, where range isn’t nearly as valuable as in regular battle royale.

However, the FJX Horus does have some weaknesses that you’ll need to account for. Most notably, it suffers from quite a lot of horizontal recoil, which can make it difficult to keep on target.

As a result, this meta SMG is a weapon best suited to skilled players who can handle its recoil. Even so, its power is undeniable, and anyone wanting to optimize their loadouts should at least try out the FJX Horus.

The FJX Horus excels up close regardless of what attachments you put on it, but its recoil can be tricky to deal with, even after the buffs back in Season 4. To make the SMG’s recoil more manageable, use the Zehmn35 Compensated Flash Hider.

Equally, the FJX Horus struggles in the damage range department, but the SYN9 Long Barrel mitigates this by boosting range and bullet velocity by 15%. This also produces a slight improvement in recoil control, which is always a useful stat in Warzone.

With any SMG build, you’ll want to maximize mobility where possible, and the FJX Horus is no exception. To do so, the Modus 30 Stock is a great choice, as it improves sprint speed, tactical sprint speed, and other key mobility stats. The best part is that this attachment’s only con is extra flinch resistance, which is a negligible stat on an SMG.

The 60 Round Drum is a must on any FJX Horus loadout, literally doubling its magazine size and making the SMG much more suited to big team modes like Trios and Quads. Finally, a meta optic like the JAK Glassless Optic is highly recommended, as the FJX Horus’ iron sights can block your vision in key moments, while a clear reticle like this has no such problem.
