Best Modern Warfare 2 Chimera loadout attachments

• Laser: VLK LZR 7mW
• Optic: Cronen Mini Pro
• Stock: Ravage-8
• Underbarrel: FTAC Ripper 56
• Rear Grip: Bruen Flash Grip

The best Modern Warfare 2 Chimera starts off by equipping the VLK LZR 7mW Laser, Bruen Flash Grip Rear Grip, and Ravage-8 Stock to buff the ADS and sprint-to-fire speed. This greatly improves the gun’s mobility to make it feel as snappy as possible in close-range fights.

The FTAC Ripper 56 Underbarrel helps stabilize the recoil and boosts hip-fire accuracy so that you can accurately land your shots whether aiming or not.

Finally, we’ll cap off this loadout by equipping the Cronen Mini Pro which is a reliable Optic choice that doesn’t obscure the screen in chaotic matches.

Best Chimera alternatives in Modern Warfare 2

If the Chimera isn’t your cup of tea, we recommend checking out the Kastov-74u, which is another close-range Assault Rifle that plays more like an SMG.

If you want something with a little more range, the TAQ-56 has been the meta AR for many months in Modern Warfare 2, as it’s ideal for picking off enemies at almost any distance.
