XRK Stalker Best Loadout and Build

XRK Stalker Attachment Setup

Barrel	KLX-09 Short Barrel
Stock	No Stock
Bolt	XRK Stalker Light Bolt
Rear Grip	XRK Factory Grip
Optic	Cronen Zero-P Optic

This XRK Stalker build is catered to players who prefer a quick-scoping aggressive playstyle, and is not your ordinary Sniper Rifle setup where you play passive and camp around, but rather taking the fight to the enemy team.

With that in mind, you'll primarily want to get the XRK Stalker Light Bolt as it speeds up the bullet rechambering time after each shot you make. Both the KLX-09 Short Barrel and XRK Factory Grip will also increase ADS and Sprint to Fire speed which lets you aim quicker after running into an opponent.

The No Stock attachment significantly buffs movement speed which definitely helps your fast paced gameplay style. Lastly, you'll want to get the Cronen Zero-P Optic as it's the perfect middle-ground between short and long-range scope distances.

List of All Attachments

XRK Stalker Loadout Setup

Weapon Loadout
Vest	Infantry Vest
Gloves	Assault Gloves
Boots	Stalker Boots
Gear	TAC Mask
Field Upgrade	DDOS
Tactical	Stun Grenade
Lethal	Throwing Knife

For this class setup, get the Infantry Vest as it lets you Tac Sprint for a longer duration as you'll often be running around with the XRK Stalker. Partner that with the Assault Gloves so you'll be able to aim faster after recovering from a jump.

It will also help to have the Stalker Boots equipped as you'll be able to quickly move left and right while scoping down, perfect for peeking in and out of cover.

The TAC Mask will help reduce the effects of being stunned by tactical grenades so as not to impair your movement that much. A great backup utility is the Throwing Knife as it lets you instantly kill an enemy if ever you miss a shot during a heated gunfight.
