There's a new Stock attachment that makes the XM4 overpowered in Warzone. The Buffer Weight Stock, which is a reward for eight billion community Hits in the Hit List event is now unlocked for use. This attachment has a significant impact on lowering recoil. It not only reduces the gun kick by 32% but also lowers the horizontal recoil by 60% and the vertical recoil by 30%.

This helps reduce any weapon's recoil drastically and the one that benefits the most from it is the XM4. This Assault Rifle is available quite early and is a decent performer right out of the bat. However, players tend to switch once they level up and gain access to better weapons.

However, the Buffer Weight Stock now gives players another reason to pick up the XM4. In this loadout guide, we'll take a closer look at the attachments that will help you make the XM4 overpowered in Warzone.

Best low recoil XM4 loadout in Warzone using the Buffer Weight Stock

To build the best low recoil XM4 loadout in Warzone with Buffer Weight Stock, you must use the following attachments along with it:

Muzzle: Suppressor
Barrel: Reinforced Barrel
Underbarrel: Vertical Foregrip
Magazine: Extended Mag II
Rear Grip: Commando Grip
Fire Mod: 5.56 NATO Overpressured
Optic: Jason Armory 2X
Stock: Buffer Weight Stock

Do note that to be able to use this build, you must have the Gunfighter Wildcard in your loadout. With that out of the way, let us take a look at how these attachments make the XM4 overpowered in Warzone Season 1:

The Suppressor is a must-have for the battle royale. It keeps you off the mini-map when you fire your gun and thus, makes it difficult for your opponents to pinpoint your location.

The Reinforced Barrel increases the weapon's effective damage range from 16.5 meters to 19.8 meters. On top of that, it also boosts the bullet velocity, which helps in hitting moving targets at longer ranges with the XM4.

The Vertical Foregrip drastically reduces horizontal recoil. While you can always pull down your mouse or the stick to control the vertical recoil, managing horizontal recoil can be a challenge. Fortunately, the Vertical Foregrip does most of the work in eliminating it.

You can never have too much ammo. The Extended Mag II ensures that you don't run out of bullets in the middle of a gunfight. In the battle royale title, your enemies will almost always wear armor plates and as a result, you will need more bullets to take them out. The Extended Mag II boosts the bullet count per magazine to 60 from 30, ensuring you don't end up reloading in a fight.

Next up is the Commando Grip. It increases the aim down sight speed and sprint to fire speed. This is required to counter the negative effects on the handling stats of the Extended Mag II. However, at the end of the day, you end up improving the handling stats even with the offset.

5.56 NATO Overpressured is a Fire Mod that drastically boosts the bullet velocity. This comes in handy during long-range engagements, which makes the XM4 feel like a hit-scan gun.

Optics are completely up to your preference but we recommend using the Jason Armory 2X. It provides the perfect balance of magnification (2x) and a clear and minimal sight, allowing you to see your targets clearly, even the ones that are further away.

Finally, the star of the show is the Buffer Weight Stock. As already discussed, it significantly lowers recoil (both horizontal and vertical) and at the same time reduces gun kick. This makes the weapon feel like it's shooting lasers. In fact, it is so good that in mid-range fights, you won't even have to pull down your stick or mouse to compensate for the recoil.

That covers everything that you need to know about making the XM4 overpowered in Warzone with the Buffer Weight Stock.
