The FR Avancer is the latest Assault Rifle to be added to MW2. It was added as part of the Season 5 update. The rifle is a revamped version of the iconic FFAR and is reflected in its bullpup design and versatility. Avancer was built for mid-range engagements, and it excels in such circumstances. One of the highlights of this weapon is its fast fire rate, which can eliminate enemies within a few seconds.
Although it is a strong weapon on its own, it can be further enhanced with the help of correct attachments. Hence, in an effort to assist players in getting the best out of this rifle, this guide will take a closer look at the best loadout for the Avancer, the best Perks, Equipment, and more.
Best FR Avancer class setup in MW2
Since the FR Avancer excels in the medium-range combat of Modern Warfare 2, it is advised to pick a secondary that performs well in close-quarter engagements. For this purpose, you can pick the X13 Auto pistol or the FTAC Siege. Both pistols are strong on their own and be wielded as SMGs as well. Moreover, since they are sidearms, they can be effectively used underwater.
Regarding the Perk Package, it is recommended that you equip the Double Time and Battle Hardened as Base Perks, Fast Hands/Coldblood as Bonus Perk, and Ghost/Quick Fix as the Ultimate Perk. As for the Equipment, it is advised to go with the Semtex and Stun Grenades. However, they are preferential, and you must pick the ones that suit your playstyle.
Best FR Avancer loadout in MW2
The FR Avancer is already a solid pick in MW2. However, with the help of attachments, its qualities can be further modified to boost its strengths and mitigate its weaknesses. For instance, the rifle has a high recoil that must be managed. Hence, keeping in mind the pros and cons of the rifle, it is advised that you equip the following attachments:
- Muzzle: FTAC Castle Comp
- Laser: FSS OLE-V Laser
- Underbarrel: Edge-47 Grip
- Rear Grip: Sa Ion
- Magazine: 45 Round Mag
FTAC Castle Comp helps with recoil control and is a must-have for the weapon. It acts on both the horizontal and vertical recoil, resulting in a consistent and accurate shooting experience.
FSS OLE-V Laser increases the sprint to fire speed and the aim down sight speed. It also improves the aiming stability.
Edge-47 Grip stabilizes the idle aim and the recoil when using the rifle, improving the overall accuracy for medium-range fights.
Sa Ion is another attachment that helps with the recoil control.
45 Round Mag is must equip attachment for this rifle. Since the Avancer has a fast fire rate, the high-count magazine ensures you don't run out of bullets quickly.
Best FR Avancer alternatives in MW2
No doubt FR Avancer is a solid pick in Modern Warfare 2. However, it may not be up to everyone's taste. The fire rate on the weapon might make it difficult to use for some. Moreover, since it is a completely new weapon in the game, many players might not have access to it. Hence, if players are willing to trade off the fast fire rate or the moderate recoil on the gun, they should go for the Tempus Razorback.
The Tempus Razorback was only added to the game in Season 4 and within a span of few weeks, the rifle became the go-to choice among players. It boasts a fast fire rate, has low recoil, and is devastating at mid-range engagements. That said, if players are looking for an alternative to the Avancer, they cannot go wrong with the Razorback.
The best loadout for the Tempus Razorback in MW2 Season 5 is as follows:
- Muzzle: Sakin Tread-40
- Underbarrel: Commando Foregrip
- Rear Grip: Casus X
- Optic: Cronen Mini Pro
- Laser: FSS OLE-V Laser
