M4 Loadout List

The recoil pattern for M4 without any attachments is unstable and borderline unusable in competitive multiplayer modes. However, attachments improve recoil control and hip-fire accuracy considerably, enhancing one's gameplay in relatively smaller maps.

Keeping these priorities in check, this class setup has been created to bring out the extensive potential of the M4:

• Receiver: M4
• Optic: Cronen Mini Red Dot
• Stock: Demo Fade Pro Stock
• Barrel: Tempus Hightower 20″ Barrel
• Muzzle: None
• Underbarrel: None
• Ammunition: None
• Rear Grip: XTEN Grip
• Magazine: None
• Laser: 4MW Laser Box

One may find hip-fire accuracy to be particularly important in multiplayer modes as quick reflexes and in-game movement are essential in overpowering opponents. Thus, the 4MW Laser Box plays an important role in this M4 class setup, which does a lot more than simply improve upon hip-fire accuracy. The 4MW Laser Box also supports recoil control, which is essentially the icing on the cake.

The M4 is also notorious for its weird iron sights, which are not ideal for long-range duels. It becomes increasingly difficult to balance a strong sight with the required level of recoil control. This is where the Cronen Mini Red Dot provides significant clarity and depth to improve overall player accuracy.

Time to elaborate on the game-changing attachments for the M4 in Modern Warfare 2, which includes the Demo Fade Pro Stock, Tempus Hightower 20' Barrel and the XTEN Grip. This array of attachments boosts the overall sprint-to-fire time and walking speed while aiming, keeping recoil in check.

Game-changing Perks

Dying from explosives is essentially the most dreadful way for a player to meet his end and to prevent that, EOD is essential in every player's arsenal. When push comes to shove, these passive perks might save players from impending death caused by explosives.

Run and gun mechanics have always been favored in Call of Duty games, and Modern Warfare 2 doesn't stray from the "legacy." Quick thinking and speed boosts help one score more kills and thus, Double Time also acts as an essential perk for any map.

One of the most beloved perks in Modern Warfare 2 is expected to be Ghost without a doubt. In a game where a player's location is key, compromising it could prove catastrophic. Ghost allows players to remain undetected to enemy surveillance techniques.
