They will need to equip the correct Perks, Equipment, and attachments that help them leverage the strengths of this Marksman Rifle and simultaneously negate its flaws.

Since the TAQ-M is a Marksman Rifle in Modern Warfare 2, it isn't the best for close-quarter fights. For such scenarios, weapons like the X13 Auto or the FTAC Siege would be more viable. They are exceptionally strong and be used as SMGs as well. Moreover, being handguns, they will work underwater as well, unlike submachine guns.

When it comes to the decision of picking Perks, you should pick Double Time, Battle Hardened, Fast Hands, and Ghost/Quick Fix. For Equipment, it is generally recommended to go with Stun Grenades and Semtex, as they are viable for all maps and game modes. However, you should pick Equipment that matches your playstyle.

The TAQ-M in Modern Warfare 2 is already a heavy-hitting and easy-to-use rifle. Its mobility and handling stats are also decent and are better than most Marksman Rifles in the game. However, its low bullet count per magazine as well as its rate of fire, can render the weapon weak in certain circumstances. Hence, keeping in mind the pros and cons of the rifle, the following attachments are recommended:

• Muzzle: Polarfire-S
• Underbarrel: FSS Sharkfin 90
• Magazine: 15-Round Mag
• Rear Grip: Demo Cleanshot Grip
• Stock: TV Xline Pro

Polarfire-S is a suppressor that not only silences the gunshots but also boosts the damage range and bullet velocity and smoothes the recoil.

FSS Sharkfin 90 stabilizes the idle aim and makes it easier to hit targets at longer ranges.

15 Round Mag increases the magazine count to 15 from 10, allowing you to take out more enemies without reloading.

Demo Cleanshot Grip increases the sprint-to-fire speed and the aim-down sight speed. This will enable you to play aggressively.

TV Xline Pro also increases the aim down sight speed. It also boosts the character's sprint speed and crouch movement speed with the weapon equipped.
