This is a Warden 308 Marksman build that focuses on improving ADS speed and general movement speed. It's a semi-auto Marksman Rifle that can hit hard, so you'll want to get targets in your sights fast.

Its Gunfighter build uses the Prestige Attachment Rapid Fire Trigger+ (MFS Snap Trigger), making it a more offensive weapon you can use to pick off groups from afar. If you do not have this attachment yet, you can focus on adding a stock like the ADS Movement Stock or a Fire Mod such as the Recoil Spring.

ⓘ Feel free to adjust your perks and equipment according to your preference.

You can opt for the Gunfighter Wildcard to use up to 8 attachments.

The Warden 308 is more comfortable to use at mid-range. It being semi-auto doesn't make it as competitive as an SMG or a Shotgun at close quarters. You'll want the mobility from Enforcer perks, but it's fine also adding Recon perks for stealth or increased situational awareness.
