In Modern Warfare 3, Alternate Ammo refers to any other type of ammo that doesn't come equipped by default. For instance, the Assault Rifle BP50 uses 5.56 rounds by default. However, thanks to the new Gunsmith 2 system, you can equip different variants of 5.56 rounds, such as the 5.56 Incendiary, 5.56 Frangible, and 5.56 Nato Mono, to name a few.

As for the Recommended Assault Rifles, simply head over to the Assault Rifle class in-game and look for the ones marked with a red flame icon. Upon selecting it, the card will show that it is "Recommended."

To complete this challenge in Week 4 of Season 2, you can equip any one of these Assault Rifles:

• BP50
• RAM-7
• Holger 556
• MCW
• DG-56

After equipping them, access the Gunsmith menu of the gun, and under the Ammunition category, select any ammo type you prefer. Once that is done, you are ready to head into a match.

Simply join any Multiplayer mode and get 30 kills with this loadout to finish the challenge.

That said, it is worth noting here that these kills must be Operator kills, and any Zombie/Hellhound/Mimic eliminations won't count. It simply means you must kill real players in-game, and taking out the AI-based enemies won't count.

It is highly recommended that you drop into the Small Maps Moshpit to complete this mission quickly, as these small maps facilitate fast-paced combat, and you'll find enemies in every corner of the map.

Once you get all those 30 kills with the Assault Rifle with Alternate Rounds, you will complete the challenge and earn 5000 XP.

That covers everything there is to know about the new Week 4 challenge in the shooter and how you can complete it easily.
