With this in mind, here are the best XM4 attachments to use in Warzone:

Optic: Kepler Microflex
Muzzle: Compensator
Barrel: Reinforced Barrel
Magazine: Extended Mag III
Stock: Buffer Weight Stock
Underbarrel: Vertical Foregrip
Rear Grip: Commando Grip

The Kepler Microflex is an American reflex sight that comes with a thin frame. This optic is great for achieving an unobstructed view through and around the lens, which helps players get precise headshots in close- and medium-range engagements.

The Compensator is a muzzle that helps bring down the bullet spread by 20%. It is a high-quality compensator that drastically improves vertical recoil management.

The Reinforced Barrel is designed to increase firepower. It also helps improve damage range and bullet velocity.

The Extended Mag III increases the ammo capacity so that players don't have to worry about spontaneous reloads. However, it increases the reload time, with a minor decrease in aim-down sight and sprint-to-fire speeds.

The Buffer Weight Stock is a bulky attachment that improves Vertical and Horizontal recoil control. However, it can decrease Aim Walking Movement and ADS speeds.

The Vertical Foregrip significantly improves horizontal recoil control. The Commando rear grip, on the other hand, improves aim-down sight and sprint-to-fire speeds.

The Aftermarket Recoil Springs absorbs more shock while improving horizontal and vertical recoil control.
