With an 841ms TTK, the VEL 46 is no slouch in Warzone 2 and dishes out a hefty amount of damage at close quarters. While it can’t quite contend with the Fennec’s firepower, it’s significantly better at mid-range, making it a perfect sniper support class.

This hybrid playstyle allows the weapon to thrive in more gunfights and means you’re less likely to be caught off-guard in a bad position.
