Best FJX Imperium loadout and attachment in MW3

  • Muzzle: Nilsound 90
  • Laser: VLK LZR 7MW
  • Underbarrel: Field-Wrapped Handle
  • Ammunition: .408 Explosive
  • Rear Grip: Skull-40
  • Magazine: 7 Round Mag

The Nilsound 90 is a fine muzzle that works brilliantly with the FJX Imperium due to its silenced suppressor that increases your damage range and bullet velocity. With the VLK LZR 7MW laser, you’ll get an increased ADS speed that will improve your stability. It also comes with a red laser dot when aiming, slightly increasing your aim stability. As for the under barrel, you should go with the Field-Wrapped Handle which is a great way to optimize your ADS, giving you better quick scope potential. 

For your Ammunition, I went with the .408 Explosive which deals high damage incendiary rounds capable of taking down enemies instantly. The Skull-40 Rear Grip gives you better handling and faster ADS speed with the FJX Imperium. Finally, for the Magazine, you should go with the 7-Round Mag to keep you prepared with follow-up shots, without having to reload your weapon frequently. If you want nothing less than one-shot-kills, look no further than the FJX Imperium sniper rifle coupled with our best loadout options

Best secondary weapon for FJX Imperium in MW3

If you’ve got the Gunner vest with the Overkill perk, consider the Striker SMG or the Lachmann Sub. Otherwise, you can consider the Renetti handgun. With the right Aftermarket Part, you can even turn it into an SMG. These options provide a solid rate-of-fire to compensate for your primary sniper rifle.

Alternatives to the FJX Imperium in MW3

If you haven’t unlocked this weapon yet in MW3 or Warzone, consider the Longbow and SP-X 80 sniper rifles. These two sit on two ends of the sniper rifle options. While the Longbow has a decent rate of fire in its category, the SP-X 80’s shots pack a bigger punch. If your accuracy is solid at a distance, consider the latter.

Best FJX Imperium equipment in MW3

Here are our best perks and equipment for the FJX Imperium in MW3:

  • Vest: Overkill Vest
  • Gloves: Quick-Grip Gloves
  • Boots: Lightweight Boots
  • Gear: Bone Conduction Headset
  • Lethal: Semtex
  • Tactical: Stun Grenade

You can dive into battle with two primary weapons using the Overkill Best while the Quick-Grip Gloves let you switch between those weapons with ease. Consider the Marksman Gloves to reduce sway and flinch while aiming down sights. These are good benefits to have while using a sniper rifle. The Lightweight Boots will give you an increased pace, making it easier for you to switch positions faster. I used the Bone Conduction Headset to reduce combat noise and your footsteps, making it harder for enemies to hear you coming.

Best FJX Imperium perks in Warzone

Here are the perks you should look out for when equipping the FJX Imperium in Warzone:

  • Double Time: Improved Tac Sprint duration lets you race towards key points.
  • Sleight of Hand: Better reload speed means you won’t be a sitting duck while reloading.
  • Tempered: Refill armor more quickly to get back in the fight.
  • High Alert: You’ll know when an enemy is aiming at you, a key perk for a sniper.

The FJX Imperium isn’t a weapon that requires many perks and equipment. So for equipment, I suggest using the Semtex for lethal as it can deal high damage and is easy to use. And for tactical, you should use the Stun Grenade as it can leave enemies confused for a few seconds, giving you the chance to take them out before they recover.
