XM4: The Dominant Assault Rifle in Warzone’s Ranked Play
Warzone features an extensive array of over 30 assault rifles drawn from titles like Modern Warfare 2, MW3, and Black Ops 6. However, one rifle has consistently proven itself superior in recent competitive play.
With the introduction of Ranked Play in Black Ops 6, the XM4 has emerged as the premier choice in long-range confrontations. Season 1 saw the addition of the Buffer Weight Stock, which significantly boosted the rifle’s accuracy during far-off engagements.
Moreover, a mid-season update by Raven Software enhanced the XM4’s bullet velocity from 750 meters per second to 800 meters per second, effectively reducing bullet drop-off and improving hit reliability.
This surge in performance has led to the XM4 achieving a remarkable 19.44 percent pick rate among players, highlighting its status as the weapon of choice, as reported by WZ Ranked.
Despite its evident power, players seeking to fully exploit the XM4’s capabilities in Ranked Play need to optimize their loadout.
Optimal XM4 Loadout in Season 1 Reloaded
Research from TrueGameData has unveiled the best configurations for the XM4, based on comprehensive statistics. Below are the preferred attachments:
Muzzle: Compensator
Optic: Willis 3x
Barrel: Gain Twist Barrel
Rear Grip: Quickdraw Grip
Underbarrel: Vertical Foregrip
Stock: Buffer Weight Stock
Magazine: Extended Mag III
Fire Mods: Overpressured Rounds
This assembly prioritizes the weapon’s overall accuracy, enhancing its efficiency in engagements. TrueGameData elaborated on the rationale behind these selections, stating that the additional bullet velocity from the Overpressured Rounds—combined with the Gain-Twist Barrel—results in an impressive bullet velocity of 1344 m/s. This allows players to maintain accuracy over extended distances, effectively engaging enemies at various ranges.
Additionally, the Willis Optic contributes to a significant reduction in gun kick, allowing for tighter control during sustained fire. The Compensator further enhances performance by improving vertical recoil and mitigating gun kick.
These enhancements synergize with the recoil stabilization offered by the Buffer Weight Stock, resulting in a weapon that handles exceptionally well at any range.
