Recommended loadout:

  • Muzzle: Komodo Heavy
  • Barrel: FTac Hornet 20" Barrel
  • Laser: VLK LZR 7mW

  • Ammunition: 5.56 High Velocity

The Komodo Heavy muzzle and the FTac Hornet 20" Barrel are crucial attachments that make the weapon's recoil much easier to control, along with increased bullet velocity and hip fire accuracy.

The VLK LZR 7mW laser and the SZ Recharge-DX optic provide the required speed, stability, and precision with enhanced ADS speed, aiming stability, and sprint-to-fire speed.

Finally, the 5.56 High-Velocity ammunition increases the bullet velocity for taking long-range fights with ease.
