The best M14 build in Delta Force makes it an extremely versatile gun. Despite being a Marksman Rifle, the weapon can be used as an Assault Rifle at close ranges in full auto mode, which is where it truly shines. However, this also poses a problem. Right out of the bat, the rifle has extremely high recoil. Moreover, by default, the weapon has a magazine capacity of only 10 bullets. As such, given its fire rate of 727 rpm, you'll be running out of bullets pretty quickly.
Hence, it becomes crucial to equip the right attachments to mitigate this recoil and make it easy to use in both close as well as mid-range combat. In this quick guide, we'll take a closer look at the best M14 build in Delta Force that will help you make the most of the weapon.

How do these attachments affect the M14?
To learn more about how each of these attachments impact the M14, read below:
- The Mini Red Dot Sight provides a clean and precise picture of the targets at close ranges. It's not recommended to use any optical sight with magnification levels over 2x, as this build is optimized to be used as an Assault Rifle.
- The DD Python Handguards improve the handling stats of the weapon. For this build, we have equipped three of them for additional handling boost.
- The M14 Roamer Standard Barrel increases the muzzle velocity and damage range of the gun. On top of that, it also assists with recoil control.
- The PERST-7 Blue Laser Light Combo increases handling attributes and lets you fire more accurately when it's activated. Moreover, it allows for a tactical stance, which is a game-changer in close-quarter combat.
- The Sandstorm Vertical Compensator drastically reduces the vertical recoil of the gun and makes it more stable. This essentially rids the need for you to manually counter the recoil by a lot.
- The X25U Angled Combat Grip reduces both vertical as well as horizontal recoil, making the weapon easier to use.
- The M14 50-Round Drum Mag increases the bullet count per magazine from 10 to 50. This allows you to stay in fights for longer durations and engage multiple targets without breaking a sweat.
- The UR Spec Ops Tactical Stock further reduces recoil and makes the weapon more stable for medium-range engagements.
- Finally, the M14 Adv. Frame System improves recoil control and handling, and gives you a few additional slots to modify your weapon (such as Foregrip, both Upper and Right Rails, and more).
