Best M4 build in Modern Warfare 2

current as of 20.01.2023

• Muzzle :  FTAC Castle Comp
• Barrel  : Tempus Hightower 20″ barrel
• Stock : Ravage-8
• Handle:  FSS Sharkfin 90
• Rear  Grip: Sakin ZX Grip

We are creating the best M4 build for  Modern Warfare 2  , combining range and mobility, making it the perfect all-round weapon for multiplayer.

First, we’ve equipped  the FTAC Castle Comp with a muzzle muzzle  that helps control the horizontal and vertical recoil of the M4, keeping the gun under control at long ranges. Additionally,  the Tempus Hightower 20″ barrel  is key to this build, as it boosts bullet speed, range, hipfire accuracy, and recoil control all rolled into one, making the M4 strong in almost any situation.

Then, to keep the M4 from being too slow, we add  the Ravage-8 buttstock  , which helps increase aiming speed, sprint time to fire, and crouch movement speed. This reduces the recoil control of the weapon, so we compensate for this with the  Sakin ZX Grip  with aiming stability.

Finally, we have brought back some aiming stability with the  FSS Sharkfin underbarrel fin  , which has no drawbacks.

Best Modern Warfare 2 M4 gear perks and gear

• Basic Skill 1:   Demolition Squad
• Base Ability 2:   Battle-Scarred
• Bonus Ability:   Quick Hands
• Ultimate Perk:   Ghost
• Lethal Gear:   Semtex
• Tactical equipment:   flashbang grenade
• Field Improvement:   Dead Silence

Modern Warfare 2 has some well balanced perk packs, but we advise you to create your own set for the best M4 gear. In terms of base perks,  Bomb Squad  will protect you from a lot of explosives flying around the map, while  Battle Hardened  will make sure Flash Bangs don’t blind you for that long.

Bonus abilities unlock later in the game, and here we recommend  Quick Hands  . Since we didn’t equip the extended magazine, you can often reload it, so speeding up the process is more than welcome. Then, for your final Ultimate Perk,  Ghost  is a must to hide you from UAVs and other radar devices.

When it comes to gear, you can’t go wrong with  Semtex  , which will deal significant damage, and  Flashbang Grenades  , to blind enemies before you start killing.

For a field upgrade, we recommend using  Dead Silence  , as you will be able to sneak around and attack your enemies.

How to unlock M4 in Modern Warfare 2

The good news is  that the M4 is unlocked from the start in Modern Warfare 2  , so you don’t have to do anything to get your hands on the assault rifle.

That being said, the ability to create your own gear and use a gunsmith isn’t available until level 4, so some work needs to be done before you can start playing around with different builds. Be sure to check out how to quickly level up weapons to unlock all of these attachments.

Best M4 Alternatives in Modern Warfare 2

If you want an alternative to the classic M4 from Modern Warfare 2, then the TAQ-56, better known as the classic SCAR-L, is another strong option thanks to its high damage and low recoil. In addition, the Kastov-74u is the perfect hybrid of an assault rifle and a submachine gun.

On the other hand, you can switch to a full SMG and a Lachmann sub which is perfect for close combat.
