Best Modern Warfare 2 VEL 46 loadout attachments

  • Muzzle: SA Schalldampfer 99
  • Laser: Schlager ULO-66
  • Stock: VEL A-568 Collapsed
  • Underbarrel: Merc Foregrip
  • Rear Grip: ZLR Combat Grip

The best Modern Warfare 2 VEL 46 loadout starts off with the SA Schalldampfer 99 muzzle to improve the weapon’s bullet velocity and recoil control. We combine the Merc Foregrip, and VEL A-568 Collapsed stock to buff the hip-fire accuracy and sprint-to-fire speed in order to land accurate shots.

The VEL 46 is still quite bouncy so the ZLR Combat Grip will give you a bit more range by boosting recoil control, but bear in mind this is still very much a close-range weapon. Finally, the Schlager ULO-66 Laser provides a further boost to hip fire accuracy.
