The M13C is an Assault Rifle in MW2 and Warzone. It is the latest weapon to join the game's meta and is a reward for the Shadow Siege event. According to the Call of Duty blog, the firearm is the direct counterpart to the M13B. It shoots .300 BLK rounds instead of the regular 5.56. As a result, it comes in a small form factor and can perform exceptionally as a standard primary and a Sniper Support rifle.
It boasts a faster fire rate and mobility over the M13B AR but lags in many aspects. For instance, it has a high recoil, which makes the gun difficult to use, especially at mid and long-range engagements, scenarios where the M13B excels. Many of these issues can be negated to an extent with the help of a proper loadout and class.
Hence this guide will look closer at the best attachments for the Assault Rifle, the best Perks, Equipment, and more.
Best M13C loadout to use in Warzone and MW2
Depending on your game, Warzone or MW2, you would want to set up M13C your loadouts differently. Each game has its requirements. For instance, in the BR title, almost all players equip shields, which requires players to shoot more bullets. Similarly, in Modern Warfare 2, players tend to optimize their weapons for mobility and speed, which is much faster than the battle royale title.
Hence, keeping in mind the varied conditions in both games, the following loadouts are recommended:
Modern Warfare 2
- Barrel: 10" Bruen FCT-6
- Underbarrel: FTAC Ripper 56
- Stock: Bruen Flash V4 Stock
- Rear Grip: Bruen Flash Grip
- Laser: 1mW Quick Fire Laser
WZ
- Barrel: 14" Bruen Echelon
- Underbarrel: FTAC Ripper 56
- Stock: Bruen R90 Factory
- Rear Grip: D37 Grip
- Magazine: 45-Round Mag
These attachments should give you the best possible experience in the two games. The Modern Warfare 2 build optimizes the weapon for speed and mobility. In contrast, the WZ build is curated to improve accuracy across all ranges.
