Players can now recreate the OG M4 loadout from Verdansk in Modern Warfare 3. The goal of the loadout is to essentially recreate an M4 that behaves exactly like the one from Warzone 1 (Verdansk) and does not necessarily look the same. For fans who are new to the series, the M4 in Warzone 1 had extremely low recoil and was the jack of all trades. It dominated in mid-range engagements when the game was released.
However, its popularity soon fell off as other weapons took center stage and it was basically obsolete by the time MW2 and Warzone 2 dropped. Fortunately, fans can now recreate the OG M4 loadout from Verdansk in Modern Warfare 3 thanks to the efforts of @TheGhostOfHope on X, who showcased attempts at recreating the Assault Rifle and emerged successful.
Read more below to find out how you can build the OG M4 loadout from Verdansk in Modern Warfare 3.
Building the OG M4 loadout from Verdansk in Modern Warfare 3
To build the OG M4 loadout from Verdansk in Modern Warfare 3, you must use the M16 with the JAK Patriot Aftermarket Kit. Here's the list of attachments that you will need to replicate a similar experience:
- Muzzle: Quartermaster Suppressor
- Underbarrel: Bruen Heavy Support Grip
- Rear Grip: Sakin ZX Grip
- Stock: Torrent Span-9
- Conversion Kit: JAK Patriot
Here's how these attachments transform the M16 into a full-auto Assault Rifle like the M4:
The Quartermaster Suppressor lowers the recoil drastically. It also helps with the gun kick control, making the rifle accurate. But that's not all. Being a Suppressor, it will keep you off the radar when you shoot, making it difficult for your foes to easily track you down.
The Bruen Heavy Support Grip also assists with gun kick control. But it does way more than just that. It lowers horizontal recoil, which is difficult to counter. On top of that, it stabilizes the aiming idle sway and firing aim, ensuring precision at medium to long ranges.

The Sakin ZX Grip is another accuracy enhancer that reduces the recoil and also helps with gun kick control.
The Torrent Span-9 improves both accuracy and mobility. First of all, it boosts the aim walking speed, walking to strafe during fights with ease. Secondly, it increases the overall sprint speed with the gun equipped. Apart from that, it assists with recoil control and gun kick control.
Finally, the JAK Patriot Kit. This Conversion Kit is the star of the show. It converts the burst-firing M16 into a full-auto Assault Rifle. It drastically reduces gun kick and recoil. But that's not all. It also increases the damage range, which reduces TTK at medium and long ranges.
