Even though there are 12 Assault Rifles in Modern Warfare 2, the TAQ-56 continues to steal the show with its damage output and adaptability. Often known as the SCAR-L, the TAQ-56 is the most powerful AR in the game. Besides being unrivaled in long-range battles, it has a lethal headshot multiplier and massive damage output.
The TAQ-56 thrives in mid-range combat, especially after dodging the newest weapon buffs and nerfs. It has a relatively high rate of fire and damage output that only a few ARs can match. While it's an excellent choice for close-range combat, the recoil might be an issue at longer ranges where greater control is needed to hit the target.
This article details the recommended loadout by Modern Warfare 2 expert Cbass, who claims this build has "0 recoil" and will wipe out squads on the battlefield.
Best "0 recoil" Modern Warfare 2 TAQ-56 loadout
Attachments:
- Muzzle: VLK Koloss Flash Hider
- Barrel: 17.5" Tundra Pro Barrel
- Underbarrel: Phase-3 Grip
- Ammunition: 5.56 High Velocity
- Stock: TV XLine Pro
This VLK Koloss Flash Hider offers some recoil control with a slight decrease in handling. It helps with muzzle flash concealment of the AR, recoil steadiness, and overall recoil stabilization. The 17.5" Tundra Pro Barrel is quite long and accurate, and it helps keep shots more precise. Adding this attachment to the Modern Warfare 2 TAQ-56 increases its damage range, hip fire accuracy, and bullet velocity on the battlefield.
The Phase-3 Grip is an angled grip that provides you with superior aiming accuracy and hip-fire control. This attachment helps with the aiming idle stability, hip fire accuracy, and recoil stabilization of the AR. The TV XLine Pro stock helps to improve the crouch movement speed, sprint speed, and aim down sight (ADS) speed.
Best Modern Warfare 2 TAQ-56 class setup
Perk Package:
- Base Perk 1: Bomb Squad
- Base Perk 2: Double Time
- Bonus Perk: Fast Hands
- Ultimate Perk: Ghost
Equipment:
- Lethal Equipment: Semtex
- Tactical Equipment: Flash Grenade
Field Upgrade:
- Field Upgrade: Dead Silence
Bomb Squad and Double Time are the finest options for Base Perks because they allow you to accept damage from incoming explosives and move around faster.
Considering the Modern Warfare 2 TAQ-56 consumes ammo too quickly, employing Fast Hands will boost the reload speed of the AR, ensuring that you're not out of action for too long. Following that, Ghost is the best Ultimate Perk to keep you hidden from enemies during the match.
When it comes to equipment, nothing beats the Semtex for a quick and easy kill, combined with Flash Grenades to wreak chaos on objective-based modes. Dead Silence should be your go-to Field Upgrade, allowing you to sneak up on unsuspecting enemies.
