The M4 assault rifle remains a consistently reliable choice in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4, offering versatility across various combat scenarios. This guide outlines the optimal build and loadout to maximize the M4's effectiveness.
Best M4 Build in Modern Warfare 4
The focus for this M4 build is to enhance accuracy and recoil control for better long-range engagements while maintaining mobility. Key attachments include:
- Muzzle: FSS IS300
- Underbarrel: FSS Fireline Grip
- Laser: SA LAZ-500
- Stock: Demo Dozer Stock
- Rear Grip: Brace DX Grip
This build utilizes the FSS IS300 heavy silencer to significantly improve damage range and ADS recoil control. The hit to ADS speed is mitigated by the SA LAZ-500 laser, which offers an ADS speed boost with no drawbacks, as the laser is not visible to enemies. The FSS Fireline Grip and Brace DX Grip further enhance recoil control, with the latter also providing a slight boost to gun kick. The Demo Dozer Stock increases ADS speed, helping to balance close-quarters engagements.
While some builds incorporate high-velocity rounds, they are often unnecessary with the FSS IS300 attachment on Modern Warfare 4's map sizes, where extreme bullet velocity differences are rarely impactful outside of large-scale modes like Ground War or Warzone.
Best M4 Loadout and Class in Modern Warfare 4
Complementing the M4 build, the following loadout and class setup provide a well-rounded tactical advantage:
- Secondary: Sang 9mm
- Melee: FSS Carbon Edge 1095
- Tactical: Flash Grenade
- Lethal: Semtex
- Field Upgrade: Trophy System
- Perks: Ghost, Hardline, and Cold-Blooded
The Sang 9mm pistol serves as a reliable secondary for close-quarters emergencies due to its fast fire rate. Flash Grenades and Semtex are effective throwable options. The Trophy System is particularly useful for defending objectives or holding chokepoints.
For perks, Ghost is essential for remaining undetected by enemy callouts and UAVs. Hardline can accelerate killstreak acquisition, though it can be swapped for Fast Hands or Ninja based on player preference. Cold-Blooded provides protection against AI targeting systems, Snapshot Grenades, and Recon Drones.
